Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) This division regulates sources of VOC which contribute to the formation of photochemical oxidant, mainly ozone.
(2) Since ozone standards are not violated in Oregon from October through April because of insufficient solar energy, natural gas-fired afterburners may be permitted, on a case-by-case basis, to lay idle during the winter months.
(3) Sources regulated by this division are new and existing sources located in the Portland and Medford AQMAs and in Salem-Keizer in the SKATS and listed in subsections (a) through (q) below:
(4) Emissions units not covered by the source categories listed in section (3) which emit or have the potential to emit over 100 tons of VOC per year before add-on controls are subject to OAR 340-232-0040.
NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
