Section 301 - TEMPORARY SOURCES

301.1 This section applies to temporary sources not exempt under NWCAA 300.4 or 300.5, which locate temporarily at sites within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA. Nonroad engines regulated by this section are limited to those listed in a) 3) of the definition of "nonroad engine" found in Section 200 of this Regulation (i.e., those that are portable or transportable, but operate in a stationary manner). The regulation of nonroad engines under this section is subject to the limitations as set forth in 40 CFR Appendix A to Subpart A of 89 - State Regulation of Nonroad Internal Combustion Engines.

301.2 The owner or operator of a temporary source shall be allowed to operate at a temporary location without filing a Notice of Construction application or, for nonroad engines, obtaining a regulatory order from the NWCAA providing that:

a) The owner or operator notifies the NWCAA each calendar year of the intent to operate within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA at least fifteen (15) days prior to starting operation and pays the appropriate fees identified in NWCAA Section 324.1;

b) The owner or operator notifies the NWCAA of the intent to relocate within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA at least fifteen (15) days prior to relocation;

c) The owner or operator supplies sufficient information to enable the NWCAA to determine that the operation will comply with all applicable air pollution rules and regulations;

d) The operation does not cause a violation of ambient air quality standards;

e) If the operation is in a nonattainment area, it shall not interfere with the scheduled attainment of ambient standards;

f) The temporary source operates in compliance with all applicable air pollution rules and regulations;

g) A temporary source that is considered a major stationary source within the meaning of WAC 173-400-113 shall also comply with the requirements in WAC 173-400-720 through -750;

h) Except for nonroad engines, all temporary sources shall have a valid Order of Approval to Construct from an air quality permitting organization in the State of Washington. The temporary source shall operate in compliance with the conditions set forth in the Order of Approval to Construct. Any reports required by the Order of Approval to Construct shall be submitted to the NWCAA;

i) Permission to operate shall not exceed ninety (90) operating days in any calendar year anywhere within the jurisdiction of the NWCAA. The NWCAA may set specific conditions for operating during that time period. No source shall continue to operate beyond the allowable 90-day period unless an Order of Approval to Construct, or for nonroad engines, a regulatory order, has been issued by the NWCAA. For the purpose of this section, an operating day shall be considered any time equipment operates within a calendar day; and

j) Except for nonroad engines, based on the source type and emission quantity, temporary sources may be subject to new source review at the discretion of the Control Officer.
