Or. Admin. R. 340-222-0042 - Short Term PSEL
(1) For sources
located in areas with an established short term SER that is measured over an
averaging period less than a full year, PSELs are required on a short term
basis for those regulated pollutants that have a short term SER. The short term
averaging period is daily, unless emissions cannot be monitored on a daily
basis. The averaging period for short term PSELs can never be greater than
monthly.
(a) For new and existing sources
with potential to emit less than the short term SER, the short term PSEL will
be set equal to the level of the short term generic PSEL.
(b) For existing sources with potential to
emit greater than or equal to the short term SER, a short term PSEL will be set
equal to the source's short term potential to emit or to the current permit 's
short term PSEL, whichever is less.
(c) For new sources with potential to emit
greater than or equal to the short term SER, the initial short term PSEL will
be set at the level requested by the applicant provided the applicant meets the
requirements of (2)(b).
(2) If a permittee requests an increase in a
short term PSEL that will exceed the short term netting basis by an amount
equal to or greater than the short term SER, the permittee must satisfy the
requirements of subsections (a) or (b). In order to satisfy the requirements of
subsection (a) or (b), the short term PSEL increase must first be converted to
an annual increase by multiplying the short term increase by 8,760 hours, 365
days, or 12 months, depending on the term of the short term PSEL.
(a) Obtain offsets in accordance with the
offset provisions for the designated area as specified in OAR 340-224-0510
through 340-224-0530, as applicable; or
(b) Obtain an allocation from an available
growth allowance in accordance with the applicable maintenance plan.
(3) Once the short term PSEL is
increased pursuant to section (2), the increased level becomes the basis for
evaluating future increases in the short term PSEL.
