physical or operational changes to a facility, are permitted by rule provided
that all of the following conditions of this section are satisfied.
(1) The facilities or changes shall be
located at least 100 feet from any recreational area or residence or other
structure not occupied or used solely by the owner or operator of the
facilities or the owner of the property upon which the facilities are
located.
(2) Total new or increased
emissions, including fugitives, shall not exceed 6.0 pounds per hour (lb/hr)
and ten tons per year of the following materials: acetylene, argon, butane,
crude oil, refinery petroleum fractions (except for pyrolysis naphthas and
pyrolysis gasoline) containing less than ten volume percent benzene, carbon
monoxide, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, cyclopentane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethyl
ether, ethylene, fluorocarbons Numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 113, 114,
115, and 116, helium, isohexane, isopropyl alcohol, methyl acetylene, methyl
chloroform, methyl cyclohexane, neon, nonane, oxides of nitrogen, propane,
propyl alcohol, propylene, propyl ether, sulfur dioxide, alumina, calcium
carbonate, calcium silicate, cellulose fiber, cement dust, emery dust, glycerin
mist, gypsum, iron oxide dust, kaolin, limestone, magnesite, marble,
pentaerythritol, plaster of paris, silicon, silicon carbide, starch, sucrose,
zinc stearate, or zinc oxide.
(3)
Total new or increased emissions, including fugitives, shall not exceed 1.0
lb/hr of any chemical having a limit value (L) greater than 200 milligrams per
cubic meter (mg/m3) as listed and referenced in
Table 262 of §
106.262 of this title (relating to
Facilities (Emission and Distance Limitations)) or of any other chemical not
listed or referenced in Table 262. Emissions of a chemical with a limit value
of less than 200 mg/m3 are not allowed under this
section.
(4) For physical changes
or modifications to existing facilities, there shall be no changes to or
additions of any air pollution abatement equipment.
(5) Visible emissions, except uncombined
water, to the atmosphere from any point or fugitive source shall not exceed
5.0% opacity in any six-minute period.
(6) For emission increases of five tons per
year or greater, notification must be provided using Form PI-7 within ten days
following the installation or modification of the facilities. The notification
shall include a description of the project, calculations, data identifying
specific chemical names, limit values, and a description of pollution control
equipment, if any.
(7) For emission
increases of less than five tons per year, notification must be provided using
either:
(A) Form PI-7 within ten days
following the installation or modification of the facilities. The notification
shall include a description of the project, calculations, data identifying
specific chemical names, limit values, and a description of pollution control
equipment, if any; or
(B) Form PI-7
by March 31 of the following year summarizing all uses of this permit by rule
in the previous calendar year. This annual notification shall include a
description of the project, calculations, data identifying specific chemical
names, limit values, and a description of pollution control equipment, if
any.
(b) The
following are not authorized under this section:
