CSR 45-13-1. General

§45-13-1. General. 1.1. Scope. -- The purpose of this rule is to set forth the procedures for stationary source reporting, and the criteria for obtaining a permit to construct and operate a new stationary source which is not a major stationary source, to modify a non-major stationary source, to make modifications which are not major modifications to an existing major stationary source, to relocate non-major stationary sources within the state of West Virginia, and to set forth procedures to allow facilities to commence construction in advance of permit issuance. Such construction, modification, relocation and operation without a required permit is a violation of this rule. This rule also establishes the requirements for obtaining an administrative update to an existing permit, a temporary permit or a general permit registration, and for filing notifications and maintaining records of changes not otherwise subject to the permit requirements of this rule. This rule does not apply to nonroad engines, nonroad vehicles, motor vehicles, or other emission sources regulated under Subchapter II of the federal Clean Air Act; provided, however that the Secretary may regulate such sources pursuant to another rule promulgated for that purpose. 1.2. Authority. -- W. Va. Code §22-5-1 et seq. 1.3. Filing Date. -- May 8, 2009. 1.4. Effective Date. -- June 1, 2009. 1.5. Former Rules. -- This legislative rule amends and replaces 45CSR13 “Permits for Construction, Modification, Relocation and Operation of Stationary Sources of Air Pollutants, Notification Requirements, Administrative Updates, Temporary Permits, General Permits and Procedures for Evaluation” which was filed on April 21, 2003, and which became effective June 1, 2003.
