Sec. 4.
(a) The department may establish a PAL at a major stationary source provided that, at a minimum, the following requirements are met:
(1) The PAL shall impose an annual emission
limitation in tons per year, which is enforceable as a practical matter, for
the entire major stationary source. For each month during the PAL effective
period after the first twelve (12) months of establishing a PAL, the major
stationary source owner or operator shall show that the sum of the monthly
emissions from each emissions unit under the PAL for the previous twelve (12)
consecutive months is less than the PAL, a twelve (12) month average, rolled
monthly. For each month during the first eleven (11) months from the PAL
effective date, the major stationary source owner or operator shall show that
the sum of the preceding monthly emissions from the PAL effective date for each
emissions unit under the PAL is less than the PAL.
(2) The PAL shall be established in a PAL
permit that meets the public participation requirements in section 5 of this
rule.
(3) The PAL permit shall
contain all the requirements of section 7 of this rule.
(4) The PAL shall include fugitive emissions,
to the extent quantifiable, from all emissions units that emit or have the
potential to emit the PAL pollutant at the major stationary source.
(5) Each PAL shall regulate emissions of only
one (1) regulated NSR pollutant.
(6) Each PAL shall have a PAL effective
period of ten (10) years.
(7) The
owner or operator of the major stationary source with a PAL shall comply with
the monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements provided in sections
12 through 14 of this rule for each emissions unit under the PAL through the
PAL effective period.
(b) At no time during or after the PAL effective period are emissions reductions of a PAL pollutant that occur during the PAL effective period creditable as decreases for purposes of offsets under 326 IAC 2-3-3 unless the level of the PAL is reduced by the amount of the emissions reductions and the reductions would be creditable in the absence of the PAL.
