Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024
(a) Any calculation to determine whether the maximum allowable emissions proposed in an application for a permit would result in a net emission increase or significant net emission increase at the facility of any air contaminant listed in Table 3 below shall be conducted in accordance with the following:
1. Determine the net emission increase of each air contaminant listed in Table 3 using the following formula:
| NI = IP + INP + IF + IA - DO - DC |
| Where: | |
| NI = | The net emission increase at a facility |
| IP = | Any increase(s) in the allowable emissions of the air |
| contaminant which occurred during the contemporaneous period | |
| and which were authorized by permits issued by the Department; | |
| INP = | Any increase(s) in the allowable emissions of the air |
| contaminant which occurred during the contemporaneous period | |
| and which came from any equipment or control apparatus for | |
| which no permit was in effect at the time of the increase; | |
| IF = | Any increase in fugitive emissions of the air contaminant from |
| the facility during the contemporaneous period; | |
| IA = | Any proposed increase in allowable emissions of the air |
| contaminant from the newly constructed, reconstructed, or | |
| modified equipment or control apparatus which is the subject | |
| of the permit application; | |
| DO = | Any increase(s) in the allowable emissions of the air |
| contaminant which occurred during the contemporaneous period, | |
| if emission offsets were secured for these increases from the | |
| facility or from another facility; and | |
| DC = | The sum of all creditable emissions reductions at the facility |
| during the contemporaneous period, not including any | |
| creditable emissions reductions previously used as emission | |
| offsets at the facility or any other facility. |
2. Compare the net emission increase of each air contaminant, derived pursuant to (a)1 above, to the significant net emission increase level for that air contaminant set forth in Table 3 below. If the net emission increase is equal to or greater than the applicable significant net emission increase level, it is a significant net emission increase.
TABLE 3 SIGNIFICANT NET EMISSION INCREASES
| Air Contaminant | Significant Net
Emission Increase Levels (tons per year) |
| SO[2] | 40 |
| SO[2] (as a PM[2.5] precursor) | 40 |
| TSP | 25 |
| PM[10] | 15 |
| PM[2.5] | 10 |
| NO[x] | 25 |
| NO[x] (as a PM[2.5] precursor) | 40 |
| CO | 100 |
| Pb | 0.6 |
| VOC | 25 |
