2 Air quality permits are required when any of the following are triggered:  Criteria pollutants (CO, NO X, SO 2, PM, VOC): potential to emit (PTE) of 6 lbs/hr and 10 tpy or 144 lb/day of any criteria pollutant  Hazardous air pollutants: PTE of 2 lb/hr or 5 tpy of HAPs on an aggregated basis  Toxic air pollutants: Any TAP with PTE in amount greater than shown in Table 45-13A (formaldehyde limit is 1,000 lb/yr)  Subject to any substantive requirement 09/12/2013 45CSR 13 Permit Thresholds

3  The maximum design capacity of a stationary source or emissions unit to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design.  Air pollution control equipment is treated as part of its design if the effect it would have on emissions is enforceable in any permit. 09/12/2013 Potential to Emit (PTE)

41 Common permit application mistakes WVONGA Air Permitting Issues Seminar September 12, 2013 Oglebay Resort, Wheeling, WV Jerry Williams, PE Engineer DEP, Division of Air Quality 9/12/2013

42  Do they exist?  What needs to be included?  What are common mistakes?  How can you make sure everything is included? 09/12/2013 A “Perfect” Permit Application

43  Yes. Although rarely seen, like Sasquatch, there are people who say they exist. 09/12/2013 Do they exist?

44  Application forms signed by the Responsible Official in blue ink.  All applicable attachments as listed on Page 4 of the R13 Permit Application and General Permit Application.  All necessary permit application fees. 09/12/2013 What needs to be included?

45  Permit application not signed by the Responsible Official (including not being signed in blue ink)  Failure to include required attachments that are completed in their entirety  Inclusion of all equipment data  Inclusion of all engine data (type, date of manufacture, is it EPA certified (include EPA certificate of conformity))  Utilization of manufacturer’s data 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

46  Failure to include all necessary emission calculations  Storage tank flashing emissions (utilization of acceptable test sample and an appropriate methodology)  Utilization of manufacturers data  Fugitive/SSM/Blowdown emissions  GHG emissions  All necessary supporting documentation (emission models, Gly-Calc, manufacturers information, etc.) 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

47  Submittal of appropriate application fees  Application fee, NSPS, NESHAP  $1,000 Permit Application Fee  $1,000 Applicable NSPS Fee  $2,500 Applicable NESHAP Fee 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

48  $1,000 Applicable NSPS Fee  40CFR60 Subpart Kb, IIII, JJJJ, OOOO, etc.  $2,500 Applicable NESHAP Fee  40CFR63 Subpart HH, ZZZZ  40CFR63 Subpart HH (If you have a applicable glycol dehydration unit, this fee must be paid)  40CFR63 Subpart ZZZZ (If you have an engine that is deemed ‘existing’ as an area source under this rule, this fee must be paid) 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

49  40CFR63 Subpart ZZZZ  For stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP emissions, an engine is considered ‘existing’ if you commenced construction or reconstruction before June 12, 2006. 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

50  Failure to submit a Source Aggregation Analysis  What does this mean?  “Building, structure, facility, or installation” is defined as all the pollutant emitting activities which belong to the same industrial grouping, are located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties, and are under the control of the same person  If a facility meets all of these criteria, emissions from all applicable sources must be aggregated in order to determine the facility’s total emissions in regards to Title V major source or PSD status 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

51  How is Source Aggregation determined?  Same Industrial Grouping (common SIC code)  Contiguous or adjacent  Under common control (Permitting collocated facilities complicates this issue) 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

52  What can you do for Source Aggregation Analysis?  Provide as much information as possible to support your aggregation determination  This includes:  SIC code of facility  Ownership issues  Contiguous or adjacent issues  Proximity  Operational dependence or lack thereof  What equipment is in question  Why you made the aggregation decision 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

53  This industry is very dynamic  Applicants are seeking permits more than ever  Everybody wants their permit ASAP  Applicants are not including the necessary information to make aggregation determinations.  This will result in a permit review delay  We will ask these questions  Therefore, it is imperative that you are proactive and include this information with every air permit application 09/12/2013 Common Mistakes

54  Follow the steps above and if there are questions, please feel free to contact the DAQ 09/12/2013 How can you make sure everything is included?
