compliance with the emissions standards which are applicable. The information
required shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

and address if different from the company name), owner's name and agent, and
telephone number and names of plant site manager or contact or both.
2. A description of the source's processes
and products (by Standard Industrial Classification Code).
3. All emissions of regulated NSR pollutants.
a. A permit application shall describe all
emissions of regulated NSR pollutants emitted from any emissions unit or group
of emissions units to be covered by the permit.
b. Emissions shall be calculated as required
in the permit application form or instructions.
c. Fugitive emissions shall be included in
the permit application to the extent quantifiable.
4. Emissions rates in tons per year and in
such terms as are necessary to establish compliance consistent with the
applicable standard reference test method.
5. Actual emission rates in tons per year and
other information as may be necessary to determine the net emissions increase
of actual emissions.
6. Information
needed to determine or regulate emissions as follows: fuels, fuel use, raw
materials, production rates, loading rates, and operating schedules.
7. Identification and description of air
pollution control equipment and compliance monitoring devices or
activities.
8. Limitations on
source operation affecting emissions or any work practice standards, where
applicable, for all regulated NSR pollutants at the source.
9. Calculations on which the information in
subdivisions 3 through 8 of this subsection are based. Any calculations shall
include sufficient detail to permit assessment of the validity of such
calculations.
10. Any additional
information or documentation that the department deems necessary to review and
analyze the air pollution aspects of the stationary source or emissions unit,
including the submission of measured air quality data at the proposed site
prior to construction or modification. Such measurements shall be accomplished
using procedures acceptable to the department.
11. For major stationary sources, the
location and registration number for all stationary sources owned or operated
by the applicant (or by any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the applicant) in the Commonwealth.
12. For major stationary sources, the
analyses required by
9VAC5-80-2090
2 shall be provided by the applicant. Upon request, the department will advise
an applicant of the reasonable geographic limitation on the areas to be subject

information and analysis shall be determined and presented according to
procedures and using methods acceptable to the department.
Statutory Authority: § 10.1-1308 of the Code of
Virginia.
