Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-06-.01 - GENERAL NON-PROCESS EMISSIONS
(1) No person shall
cause, suffer, allow, or permit emissions in excess of the standards in this
Chapter.
(2) In any area where one
or more sources are emitting particulates at rates in conformity with
applicable maximum allowable emission rates and the ambient air quality
standard for particulate matter is being exceeded, the Board shall be
responsible for setting an appropriate emission standard for each source
contributing to the particulate matter in the ambient air of the area, at such
value as the Board may consider necessary to achieve the desired air quality.
Certain areas in the state have been identified as needing additional control
beyond that required by this Chapter. These areas and the additional control
requirements are stated in Chapter 1200-03-19.
(3) The owner or operator of an existing fuel
burning installation proposing to make a modification of this source or to
rebuild or replace it shall only take such action if it will result in the
source meeting the maximum allowable emission standards for a new fuel burning
installation.
(4) As used in this
Chapter, existing installations or equipment shall mean such as were under
construction or in operation prior to April 3, 1972 and non-portable equipment
which was not relocated more than 1.0 km from the previous position after
November 6, 1988.
(5) For the
purpose of determining the applicable emission standards in this chapter, a
change in fuel from natural gas, propane, butane, and/or fuel oil to any of
these herein named fuels and any required alterations to existing fuel burning
equipment to accommodate these fuels shall not be considered a modification.
This shall not apply to sources identified in rule 1200-3-9-.01(4). However,
the allowable emissions for the source will not change unless Best Available
Control Technology is required.
(6)
Regardless of the specific emission standards contained in this Chapter a new
or modified non-process source locating in or significantly impacting upon a
nonattainment area shall comply with the provisions of 1200-3-9-.01(5) prior to
receiving a construction permit .
(7) Upon mutual agreement of the owner or
operator of any air contaminant source and the Technical Secretary, an emission
limit more restrictive than that otherwise specified in this Chapter may be
established. The emission limit shall be stated as a special condition for any
permit or order issued concerning the source. Violation of this agreed to, more
stringent emission standard is grounds for revocation of the issued permit
and/or other enforcement measures provided for in the Tennessee Air Quality
Act.
(8) Regardless of the specific
emission standards contained in this chapter, all non-process sources
identified in 1200-3-9-.01(4) of these regulations shall comply with the
standards set pursuant to chapter 1200-3-9.
