(5) As a part of an application for a
renewable operating permit, a person may seek to establish that certain terms
or conditions of a permit to install, permit to operate, or order entered
pursuant to the act are not appropriate to be incorporated into the renewable
operating permit or should be modified to provide for consolidation or
clarification of the applicable requirements. An application for a renewable
operating permit may include information necessary to demonstrate any of the
following:
(a) That a term or condition of a
permit to install, permit to operate, or order entered pursuant to the act is
no longer an applicable requirement.
(b) That a term or condition of a permit to
install, permit to operate, or order entered pursuant to the act should be
modified to provide for consolidation or clarification of the applicable
requirement. A person shall demonstrate that the modification results in
enforceable applicable requirements that are equivalent to the applicable
requirements contained in the original permit or order and that the equivalent
requirements do not violate any other applicable requirement.
(c) That the equipment should be combined
into emission units different from the emission units contained in a permit to
install, permit to operate, or order entered pursuant to the act to provide for
consolidation or clarification of the applicable requirement. A person shall
demonstrate that the realignment of the emission units results in enforceable
applicable requirements which are equivalent to the applicable requirements
contained in the original permit or order and that the equivalent requirements
do not violate any other applicable requirement.
(6) Beginning with the annual report of
emissions required pursuant to
R
336.202 and section 5503(k) of the act for the first
calendar year after a stationary source becomes a major source as defined by
R 336.1211(1)(a),
each stationary source subject to the requirements of this rule shall report
the emissions, or the information necessary to determine the emissions, of each
regulated air pollutant. The information shall be submitted utilizing the
emissions inventory forms provided by the department. For the purpose of this
subrule, "regulated air pollutant" means all of the following:
(a) Nitrogen oxides or any volatile organic
compound.
(b) A pollutant for which
a national ambient air quality standard has been promulgated under the clean
air act.
(c) A pollutant that is
subject to any standard promulgated under section 111 of the clean air
act.
(d) A class I or II substance
that is subject to a standard promulgated under or established by title VI of
the clean air act.
(e) A pollutant
that is subject to a standard promulgated under section 112 or other
requirements established under section 112 of the clean air act, except for
pollutants regulated solely pursuant to section 112(r) of the clean air act.
Pollutants subject to a standard promulgated or other requirements established
under section 112 of the clean air act include both of the following:
(i) A pollutant that is subject to
requirements under section 112(j) of the clean air act. If the administrator of
the United States environmental protection agency fails to promulgate a
standard by the date established pursuant to section 112(e) of the clean air
act, any pollutant for which a stationary source would be major shall be
considered to be regulated on the date 18 months after the applicable date
established pursuant to section 112(e) of the clean air act.
(ii) A pollutant for which the requirements
of section 112(g)(2) of the clean air act have been met, but only with respect
to the specific stationary source that is subject to the section 112(g)(2)
requirement.
(7) For the purpose of calculating the annual
air quality fee pursuant to section 5522 of the act, the actual emissions of a
fee-subject air pollutant from all process or process equipment shall be
determined. However, the actual emissions of a fee-subject air pollutant from
process or process equipment listed pursuant to subrules (2) to (4) of this
rule need not be calculated unless either of the following provisions are met:
(a) The process or process equipment is
subject to a process-specific emission limitation or standard for the specific
fee-subject air pollutant.
(b) The
actual emissions from the process or process equipment exceed 10% of
significant, as defined in
R
336.1119(e), for that air
pollutant.
