(A)
A
permit-to-install or PTIO as required by rule
3745-31-02 of the Administrative
Code shall be obtained for the installation or modification, and operation of
an air contaminant source unless exempted under paragraph (B) of rule
3745-31-03 of the Administrative
Code, or unless the owner or operator elects to install or modify, and operate,
under a permit-by-rule under paragraph (C) of this rule.
(B)
The relocation of
any portable permit-by-rule source shall be exempt under rule
3745-31-03 of the Administrative
Code provided the requirements of paragraph (B)(1)(p) of rule
3745-31-03 of the Administrative
Code are met.
(C)
Permit-by-rule.
The following air contaminant sources
may elect to be permitted under this paragraph in lieu of the requirement to
obtain a permit-to-install or PTIO under rule
3745-31-02 of the Administrative
Code. These permits-by-rule are valid only as long as the owner or operator
complies with all of the permit-by-rule general provisions, meets the
qualifying criteria defined in the applicable permit-by-rule and complies with
all of the requirements under the applicable permit-by-rule specific
provisions. Upon request by the director, the owner or operator of a facility
that has exceeded the permit-by-rule thresholds or that the director finds is
causing or may cause a public nuisance in violation of rule
3745-15-07 of the Administrative
Code shall submit an application for a permit-to-install or PTIO.
These permits-by-rule do not, however,
exempt any air contaminant source from requirements of the Clean Air Act,
including being considered for purposes of determining whether a facility
constitutes a major source or is otherwise regulated under Chapter 3745-77 of
the Administrative Code or any requirement to list significant or insignificant
activities and emission levels in a Title V permit application. In addition,
this rule does not relieve the owner or operator from the requirement of
including the emissions associated with these sources into any major NSR
permitting action.
(1)
General provisions.
These general provisions apply to any
owner or operators utilizing a permit-by-rule listed in paragraph (C) of this
rule.
(a)
Recordkeeping requirements.
The owner or operator shall collect and
maintain the records described for each air contaminant source electing to be
permitted under paragraph (C) of this rule and retain the records in the owner
or operator's files for a period of not less than five years, unless otherwise
specified in each permit-by-rule and make the records available to the director
or any authorized representative of the director for review during normal
business hours.
(b)
Notification requirements for new installations.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a
new permit-by-rule air contaminant source is an air contaminant source
installed after the promulgation date of any new applicable permit-by-rule or
July 29, 2005, whichever comes later. The owner or operator of a new
permit-by-rule air contaminant source electing to use an applicable
permit-by-rule shall submit a written notification to the appropriate Ohio
environmental protection agency district office or local air agency in a form
and manner prescribed by the director prior to installation of the air
contaminant source containing the following information, at a

which permit-by-rule applies to the air contaminant source.
(c)
Notification requirements for existing permitted
sources.
The owner or operator of an air
contaminant source which is operating under an existing permit-to-install, PTIO
or permit-to-operate may continue to operate in compliance with that permit or
may submit a written request to the Ohio environmental protection agency to
revoke any such individual permit or permits and allow the air contaminant
source to operate under the permit-by-rule provisions. The director may revoke
a permit-to-install, PTIO or permit-to-operate if the permittee requests
revocation, agrees to meet all permit-by-rule qualifying and operating
conditions, and the director determines that the revocation will not result in
the violation of any applicable laws. When a permittee requests a revocation
pursuant to this paragraph, the director, without prior hearing, shall make a
final determination on the request and inform the permittee in writing. If the
director agrees with the request to operate under the permit-by-rule, then the
permit-by-rule becomes applicable to the permittee on the date the existing
permit-to-install, PTIO or permit-to-operate is revoked.
(d)
Notification requirements for existing permit-by-rule
sources.
The owner or operator of an air
contaminant source that is operating under one of the permit-by-rules that
existed prior to July 29, 2005 (emergency electrical generators, injection and
compression molding, crushing and screening plants, soil-vapor extraction and
soil-liquid extraction) and desires to continue operating under the
permit-by-rule shall submit to the appropriate Ohio environmental protection
agency district office or local air agency by July 29, 2006 a written
notification which contains all of the elements required in paragraph (C)(1)(b)
of this rule.
(e)
Records retention requirements.
Each record of any monitoring data,
testing data, and support information, including, but not limited to, all
calibration and maintenance records and all original strip-chart recordings for
continuous monitoring instrumentation, and all reports required by the
applicable permit by rule shall be retained for a period of five years from the
