CSR 45-14-7. Registration, Reporting and Permit Requirements for Major Stationary Sources and Major Modifications

45-14-7. Registration, Reporting and Permit Requirements for Major Stationary Sources and Major Modifications. 7.1. No person shall allow the construction or relocation of any major stationary source or a major modification to be commenced after the effective date of this rule in any area designated as attainment or unclassifiable under 107 of the CAA, without notifying the Secretary of such intent and obtaining prior to beginning actual construction, or modification (as defined by subsection 2.10) a permit(s) to so construct, modify, or relocate the major stationary source or major modification as herein provided. If the area in which such source would be constructed or the area in which such modification would occur is designated as nonattainment under 107 of the CAA, as amended, for any pollutant which the source or modification would emit in significant amounts (as defined by subsection 45CSR19-2.65), the source or modification shall meet all requirements of 45CSR19 for that pollutant and shall not be subject to the requirements of this rule for that pollutant. 7.2. The owner or operator of the source shall file with the Secretary a timely and complete permit application containing sufficient information as, in the judgment of the Secretary, will enable the Secretary to determine whether such source construction, modification, or relocation will be in conformance with the provisions of any rules promulgated by the Secretary in general and with the requirements of this rule. Such information may include, but not be limited to: 7.2.a. A description of the nature, location, design capacity, and typical operating schedule of the source or modification, including specifications and drawings showing its design and plant layout; 7.2.b. A detailed schedule for construction of the source or modification; 7.2.c. A detailed description as to what system of continuous emission reduction is planned by the source or modification, emission estimates, and any other information as necessary to determine that best available control technology as applicable would be applied; 7.2.d. The air quality impact of the source or modification, including meteorological and topographical data necessary to estimate such impact; and 7.2.e. The air quality impacts and the nature and extent of any or all general commercial, residential, industrial, and other growth which has occurred since August 7, 1977, in the area the source or modification would affect. 7.3. Each permit application shall be signed by the owner or operator of the major stationary source or major modification, and such signature shall constitute an agreement that the applicant will assume responsibility for the construction, modification, or relocation, and operation of the major stationary source or major modification in accordance with applicable rules of the Secretary, the permit application, and any permit issued pursuant to this rule. 7.4. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a permit application for construction or relocation of a major stationary source or for a major modification, the Secretary shall determine if the application is complete or if there exists any deficiency in the application or information submitted, and shall notify the applicant of all such deficiencies, if any. In the event of such a deficiency, the date of receipt of the application shall be the date on which the Secretary received all required information. 7.5. Within six (6) months of the receipt of a complete permit application for construction or relocation of a major stationary source or for a major modification, the Secretary shall issue such a permit unless the Secretary determines that the proposed major stationary source or major modification has not satisfied the requirements of this rule, will violate applicable emission standards, will interfere with the attainment or maintenance of applicable ambient air quality standards, or will be inconsistent with the intent and purpose of this rule, in which case the Secretary shall issue an order for the prevention of such construction, modification, or relocation. 7.6. If the Secretary denies a permit application for the proposed construction or relocation of any major stationary source or major modification, the order shall set forth the Secretarys reasons with reasonable specificity. 7.7. The Secretary may impose any reasonable conditions as part of a granted construction, modification, or relocation permit. Such conditions may include, but not be limited to, the submission of periodic progress or operation reports, the provisions of a suitable sampling site, the installation of pollutant monitoring devices, and the operation and maintenance of ambient air quality monitoring stations.
