Section R307-415-7d - Permit Revision: Changes That Do Not Require a Revision(1) Operational Flexibility. (a) A Part 70 source may make changes that contravene an express permit term if all of the following conditions have been met: (i) The source has obtained an approval order, or has met the exemption requirements under R307- 401;(ii) The change would not violate any applicable requirements or contravene any federally enforceable permit terms and conditions for monitoring, including test methods, recordkeeping, reporting, or compliance certification requirements;(iii) The changes are not modifications under any provision of Title I of the Act; and the changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under the permit, whether expressed therein as a rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions.(iv) For each such change, the source shall provide written notice to the director and send a copy of the notice to EPA at least seven days before implementing the proposed change. The seven-day requirement may be waived by the director in the case of an emergency. The written notification shall include a brief description of the change within the permitted facility, the date on which the change will occur, any change in emissions, and any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a result of the change. The permit shield shall not apply to these changes. The source, the EPA, and the director shall attach each such notice to their copy of the relevant permit.(b) Emission trading under the State Implementation Plan. Permitted sources may trade increases and decreases in emissions in the permitted facility, where the State Implementation Plan provides for such emissions trades, without requiring a permit revision provided the change is not a modification under any provision of Title I of the Act, the change does not exceed the emissions allowable under the permit, and the source notifies the director and the EPA at least seven days in advance of the trade. This provision is available in those cases where the permit does not already provide for such emissions trading. (i) The written notification required above shall include such information as may be required by the provision in the State Implementation Plan authorizing the emissions trade, including at a minimum, when the proposed change will occur, a description of each such change, any change in emissions, the permit requirements with which the source will comply using the emissions trading provisions of the State Implementation Plan, and the pollutants emitted subject to the emissions trade. The notice shall also refer to the provisions with which the source will comply in the State Implementation Plan and that provide for the emissions trade.(ii) The permit shield shall not extend to any change made under this paragraph. Compliance with the permit requirements that the source will meet using the emissions trade shall be determined according to requirements of the State Implementation Plan authorizing the emissions trade.(c) If a permit applicant requests it, the director shall issue permits that contain terms and conditions, including all terms required under R307-415-6 a and 6c to determine compliance, allowing for the trading of emissions increases and decreases in the permitted facility solely for the purpose of complying with a federally-enforceable emissions cap that is established in the permit independent of otherwise applicable requirements. Such changes in emissions shall not be allowed if the change is a modification under any provision of Title I of the Act or the change would exceed the emissions allowable under the permit. The permit applicant shall include in its application proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that ensure the emissions trades are quantifiable and enforceable. The director shall not include in the emissions trading provisions any emissions units for which emissions are not quantifiable or for which there are no replicable procedures to enforce the emissions trades. The permit shall also require compliance with all applicable requirements, and shall require the source to notify the director and the EPA in writing at least seven days before making the emission trade. (i) The written notification shall state when the change will occur and shall describe the changes in emissions that will result and how these increases and decreases in emissions will comply with the terms and conditions of the permit.(ii) The permit shield shall extend to terms and conditions that allow such increases and decreases in emissions.(2) Off-permit changes. A Part 70 source may make changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the permit without a permit revision, unless such changes are subject to any requirements under Title IV of the Act or are modifications under any provision of Title I of the Act. (a) Each such change shall meet all applicable requirements and shall not violate any existing permit term or condition.(b) Sources must provide contemporaneous written notice to the director and EPA of each such change, except for changes that qualify as insignificant under R307-415-5 e. Such written notice shall describe each such change, including the date, any change in emissions, pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirements that would apply as a result of the change.(c) The change shall not qualify for the permit shield.(d) The permittee shall keep a record describing changes made at the source that result in emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable requirement, but not otherwise regulated under the permit, and the emissions resulting from those changes.(e) The off-permit provisions do not affect the requirement for a source to obtain an approval order under R307-401.Utah Admin.
