(a) Aggregation. Notwithstanding the requirements of §101.106
and §101.108 of this title (relating to Baseline Amount Calculation
and Alternative Baseline Amount), a major stationary source of emissions
that meets the applicability requirements of §101.101 of this
title (relating to Applicability) after calculating each pollutant's
emission baseline amount in accordance with this subchapter may choose
to combine:
(1) volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions into
a single aggregated pollutant baseline amount for multiple major stationary
sources under common control;
(2) nitrogen oxides (NOX )
emissions into a single aggregated pollutant baseline amount for multiple
major stationary sources under common control;
(3) emissions for both VOC and NOX into
a single aggregated pollutant baseline amount for a single major stationary
source; and/or
(4) emissions for both VOC and NOX into
a single aggregated pollutant baseline amount for multiple major stationary
sources under common control.
(b) Pollutants aggregation. Pollutants in an aggregated
amount must have:
(1) the same time period for calculating the baseline
amount; and
(2) the same basis of either actual or authorized emissions
to calculate the baseline amount.
(c) Section 185 Account reporting. An owner and or
operator opting to combine VOC with NOX and/or
combine major stationary sources into one baseline amount shall identify
all major stationary sources being aggregated under this section.
(d) Failure to Attain Fee obligation requirement. The
fee obligation must be calculated in the same manner that an owner
or operator elects to aggregate under this section.
