Iowa Admin. Code r. 567-24.112

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024

Rule 567-24.112 - Minor Title V permit modifications

(1) Minor Title V permit modification procedures may be used only for those permit modifications that satisfy all of the following:

a. Do not violate any applicable requirement;

b. Do not involve significant changes to existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements in the Title V permit;

c. Do not require or change a case-by-case determination of an emission limitation or other standard, or an increment analysis;

d. Do not seek to establish or change a permit term or condition for which there is no corresponding underlying applicable requirement and that the source has assumed in order to avoid an applicable requirement to which the source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and conditions include any federally enforceable emissions caps that the source would assume to avoid classification as a modification under any provision of Title I of the Act; and an alternative emissions limit approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the Act;

e. Are not modifications under any provision of Title I of the Act; and

f. Are not required to be processed as a significant modification under 567-24.113(455B).

(2) An application for minor permit revision shall be on the minor Title V modification application form and shall include at least the following:

a. A description of the change, the emissions resulting from the change, and any new applicable requirements that will apply if the change occurs;

b. The source's suggested draft permit;

c. Certification by a responsible official, pursuant to 24.107(4), that the proposed modification meets the criteria for use of minor permit modification procedures and a request that such procedures be used; and

d. Completed forms to enable the department to notify the Administrator and affected states as required by 24.107(7).

(3) The department shall notify the Administrator and affected states within five working days of receipt of a complete permit modification application. Notification shall be in accordance with the provisions of 24.107(7). The department shall promptly send to the Administrator any notification required by 24.107(7).

(4) The director shall not issue a final Title V permit modification until after the Administrator's 45-day review period or until the Administrator has notified the director that the Administrator will not object to issuance of the Title V permit modification, whichever is first. Within 90 days of the director's receipt of an application under the minor permit modification procedures, or 15 days after the end of the Administrator's 45-day review period provided for in 24.107(7), whichever is later, the director shall:

a. Issue the permit modification as proposed;

b. Deny the permit modification application;

c. Determine that the requested permit modification does not meet the minor permit modification criteria and should be reviewed under the significant modification procedures; or

d. Revise the draft permit modification and transmit to the Administrator the proposed permit modification, as required by 24.107(7).

(5) Source's ability to make change. The source may make the change proposed in its minor permit modification application immediately after it files the application. After the source makes the change allowed by the preceding sentence, and until the director takes any of the actions specified in 24.112(4)"a" to 24.112(4)"c," the source must comply with both the applicable requirements governing the change and the proposed permit terms and conditions. During this time, the source need not comply with the existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify. However, if the source fails to comply with its proposed permit terms and conditions during this time period, the existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify may be enforced against it.

(6) Permit shield. The permit shield under 24.108(18) shall not extend to minor Title V permit revisions.
