252:4-7-33.   Air quality applications - Tier II

     (a)  Minor facility permit actions.  Any minor facility seeking a permit for a modification that when completed would turn it into a Part 70 source is required to apply under subsection (b) of this section.

     (b)  Part 70 source permits.  The following air quality authorizations for Part 70 sources require Tier II applications.
          (1)  New permits.
               (A)  New construction permit for a new Part 70 source not classified under Tier III.
               (B)  New construction permit for an existing Part 70 source for any change considered significant under 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2) and which is not classified under Tier III.
               (C)  New operating permit for a Part 70 source that did not have an underlying construction permit processed under Tier II or III, and 252:100-8-8.
               (D)  New operating permit with one or more conditions that differ from the underlying Tier II or III construction permit's operating conditions in a way considered significant under 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
               (E)  New acid rain permit that is independent of a Part 70 permit application.
               (F)  New temporary source permit under 252:100-8-6.2.
          (2)  Modifications of permits.
               (A)  Significant modification, as described in 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2), of an operating permit that is not based on an underlying construction permit processed under Tier II or III, and 252:100-8-8.
               (B)  Modification of an operating permit when the conditions proposed for modification differ from the underlying construction permit's operating conditions in a way considered significant under 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
               (C)  A construction permit modification considered significant under 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2) and which is not classified under Tier III.
          (3)  Renewals.  Renewals of operating permits.

     (c)  Other authorizations.  The following air quality authorizations require Tier II applications.
          (1)  New, modified and renewed general operating permits.
          (2)  Individual authorizations under any general operating permit for which a schedule of compliance is required by 252:100-8-5(c)(8)(B)(i).


252:4-7-34.  Air quality applications - Tier III

     (a)  New major stationary sources.  A construction permit for any new major stationary source listed in this subsection requires a Tier III application.  For purposes of this section, "Major stationary source" means:
          (1)  Any of the following sources of air pollutants which emits, or has the potential to emit, 100 tons per year or more of any pollutant subject to regulation:
               (A)  carbon black plants (furnace process),
               (B)  charcoal production plants,
               (C)  chemical process plants,
               (D)  coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers),
               (E)  coke oven batteries,
               (F)  fossil-fuel boilers (or combustion thereof), totaling more than 250 million BTU per hour heat input,
               (G)  fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than 250 million BTU per hour heat input,
               (H)  fuel conversion plants,
               (I)  glass fiber processing plants,
               (J)  hydrofluoric, sulfuric or nitric acid plants,
               (K)  iron and steel mill plants,
               (L)  kraft pulp mills,
               (M)  lime plants,
               (N)  incinerators, except where used exclusively as air pollution control devices,
               (O)  petroleum refineries,
               (P)  petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels,
               (Q)  phosphate rock processing plant,
               (R)  portland cement plants,
               (S)  primary aluminum ore reduction plants,
               (T)  primary copper smelters,
               (U)  primary lead smelters,
               (V)  primary zinc smelters,
               (W)  secondary metal production plants,
               (X)  sintering plants,
               (Y)  sulfur recovery plants, or
               (Z)  taconite ore processing plants, and
          (2)  Any other source not specified in paragraph (1) of this definition which emits, or has the potential to emit, 250 tons per year or more of any pollutant subject to regulation.

     (b)  Existing incinerators.  An application for any change in emissions or potential to emit, or any change in any permit condition, that would have caused an incinerator to be defined as a major stationary source when originally permitted shall require a Tier III application.

     (c)  Potential to emit.  For purposes of this section, "potential to emit" means emissions resulting from the application of all enforceable permit limitations as defined in OAC 252:100-1-3.
