Sec. 5.
(a) An owner or operator of a source may submit a petition to the commissioner requesting a site-specific Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan as an alternative to the requirements specified in 326 IAC 8. This petition for site-specific RACT must contain:
(1) the name
and address of the company and the name and telephone number of a responsible
company representative over whose signature the petition is
submitted;
(2) a description of all
operations conducted at the location to which the petition applies and the
purpose the volatile organic compound emitting equipment serves within the
operations;
(3) reference to the
specific emission limits, operational or equipment controls for which
alternative emission limits, operational or equipment controls are
proposed;
(4) a detailed
description of the proposed alternative emission limits, operational or
equipment controls, the magnitude of volatile organic compound emission
reduction which will be achieved, and the quantity and composition of volatile
organic compounds which will be emitted if the alternative emission limits,
operational or equipment controls are instituted;
(5) a schedule for the installation or
institution of the alternative operational or equipment controls in conformance
with the appropriate compliance schedule section;
(6) a demonstration that the alternative
control program constitutes reasonably available control technology for the
petitioned facility. The factors to be presented in this demonstration include

(A) the capital
expenditure necessary to achieve the petitioned level of control;
(B) the impact of these costs on the
firm;
(C) the energy requirements
of the petitioned level of control;
(D) the impact on the environment in terms of
any increase in air, water, and solid waste effluent discharge of the
petitioned level of control;
(E)
any adverse worker or product safety implications of the petitioned level of
control; and
(F) an analysis for
each of the factors in clauses (A) through (E) above for the control levels
otherwise required by 326 IAC 8.
(b) The commissioner shall approve a petition for a site-specific RACT plan if:
(1) the
petition is submitted in accordance with subsection (a) of this
section;
(2) the petition
demonstrates that the alternative control measures represent reasonably
available control technology;
(3)
the petition contains a compliance schedule for achieving and maintaining a
reduction of volatile organic compound emissions as expeditiously as
practicable.
(c) Site-specific RACT plans shall be submitted to the U.S. EPA as a SIP revision.
