A new source review preconstruction permit must satisfy the following criteria before beginning actual construction:
(1) All requirements for new source performance standards in chapter 74:36:07 that apply to the facility;(2) Compliance with the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER);(3) Certification of compliance that all other major sources, major modifications, or reconstructed facilities that are owned, operated, or controlled by the applicant either in whole or in part elsewhere in the state are in compliance with all applicable emission limitations and standards; and(4) The total tonnage of increased emissions, in tons per year, resulting from a major modification that must be offset shall be determined by summing the difference between the allowable emissions after the modification and the actual emissions before the modification for each emissions unit. Emissions offsets are determined in accordance with § 74:36:10:07.The owner or operator may apply for a plant-wide applicability limit. The procedures for a plant-wide allowable limit are those in 40 C.F.R. § 51.165(f)(1) to (f)(15), inclusive, (July 1, 2018). Approval to construct does not relieve an owner or operator of the responsibility to comply fully with applicable provisions of this article or the Clean Air Act and any other requirements under local, state, or federal law.
Submission of preconstruction monitored or projected ambient air quality data, or both, from the proposed source must accompany the permit application. In addition, air quality dispersion modeling and meteorological data for the prescribed area may be required by the department. Costs of these requirements must be absorbed by the proposed source.
