| (B) the commission Regulated Entity Number and air
account number of the regulated entity experiencing an emissions
event, if a Regulated Entity Number and air account number exists,
or if there is not a Regulated Entity Number, the air account number
of the regulated entity. If a Regulated Entity Number and air account
number do not exist, then identify the location of the release and
a contact telephone number;
(C) the physical location of the points at which emissions
to the atmosphere occurred;
(D) the common name of the process units or areas,
the common name and the agency-established facility identification
number of the facilities that experienced the emissions event, and
the common name and the agency-established emission point numbers
where the unauthorized emissions were released to the atmosphere.
Owners or operators of those facilities and emission points that
the commission has not established facility identification numbers
or emission point numbers for are not required to provide the facility
identification numbers and emission point numbers in the report,
but are required to provide the common names in the report;
(E) the date and time of the discovery of the emissions
event;
(F) the estimated duration of the emissions;
(G) the compound descriptive type of the individually
listed compounds or mixtures of air contaminants, in the definition
of RQ in §101.1 of this title, from all emission points involved
in the emissions event, that are known through common process knowledge
or past engineering analysis, except for boilers or combustion turbines
referenced in the definition of RQ in §101.1 of this title and
that were unauthorized. Compounds or mixtures of air contaminants,
that have an RQ greater than or equal to 100 pounds and the amount
released is less than ten pounds in a 24-hour period, are not required
to be specifically listed in the report, instead these compounds
or mixtures of air contaminants may be identified together as "other";
(H) the estimated total quantities and the authorized
emissions limits for those compounds or mixtures described in subparagraph
(G) of this paragraph; the preconstruction authorization number or
rule citation of the standard permit, permit by rule, or rule, if
any, governing the facilities involved in the emissions event; and
the authorized emissions limits, if any, for the facilities involved
in the emissions events, except for boilers or combustion turbines
referenced in the definition of RQ in §101.1 of this title,
which record only the authorized opacity limit and the estimated
opacity during the emissions event. Good engineering practice and
methods must be used to provide reasonably accurate representations
for emissions and opacity. Estimated emissions from compounds or
mixtures of air contaminants that are identified as "other" under
subparagraph (G) of this paragraph, are not required for each individual
compound or mixture of air contaminants, however, a total estimate
of emissions must be provided for the category identified as "other";
(I) the basis used for determining the quantity of
air contaminants emitted, except for boilers or combustion turbines
referenced in the definition of RQ in §101.1 of this title;
(J) the best known cause of the emissions event at
the time of recording;
(K) the actions taken, or being taken, to correct
the emissions event and minimize the emissions; and
(L) any additional information necessary to evaluate
the emissions event.
(c) For all reportable emissions events, if the information
required in subsection (b) of this section differs from the information
provided in the initial 24-hour notification under subsection (a)
of this section, the owner or operator of the regulated entity shall
submit a copy of the final record to the commission office for the
region in which the regulated entity is located and to appropriate
local air pollution agencies with jurisdiction no later than two
weeks after the end of the emissions event. If the owner or operator
does not submit a record under this subsection, the information provided
in the initial 24-hour notification under subsection (a) of this
section will be the final record of the emissions event, provided
the initial 24-hour notification was submitted electronically in
accordance with subsection (g) of this section. Any emissions of
greenhouse gases, individually or collectively, are not required
to be submitted under this subsection, except for specific individual
air contaminant compounds listed in the definition of RQ in §101.1
of this title.
(d) The owner or operator of a boiler or combustion
turbine, as defined in §101.1 of this title, fueled by natural
gas, coal, lignite, wood, or fuel oil containing hazardous air pollutants
at a concentration of less than 0.02% by weight, that is equipped
with a continuous emission monitoring system that completes a minimum
of one operating cycle (sampling, analyzing, and data recording)
for each successive 15-minute interval, and is required to submit
excess emission reports by other state or federal requirements, is
exempt from creating, maintaining, and submitting final records of
reportable and non-reportable emissions events of the boiler or combustion
turbine under subsections (b) and (c) of this section if the notice
submitted under subsection (a) of this section contains the information
required under subsection (b) of this section.
(e) As soon as practicable, but not later than 24
hours after the discovery of an excess opacity event, as defined
in §101.1 of this title, where the owner or operator was not
already required to provide an initial 24-hour notification under
subsection (a)(2) or (3) of this section, the owner or operator shall
notify the commission office for the region in which the regulated
entity is located, and all appropriate local air pollution control
agencies with jurisdiction. In the notification, the owner or operator
shall identify:
(1) the name of the owner or operator of the regulated
entity experiencing the excess opacity event;
(2) the commission Regulated Entity Number and air
account number of the regulated entity experiencing an opacity event,
if a Regulated Entity Number and air account number exists, or if
there is not a Regulated Entity Number, the air account number of
the regulated entity. If a Regulated Entity Number and air account
number do not exist, then identify the location of the release and
a contact telephone number;
(3) the physical location of the excess opacity event;
(4) the common name of the process units or areas,
the common name of the facilities where the excess opacity event
occurred, and the common name of the emission points where the excess
opacity event occurred;
(5) the date and time of the discovery of the excess
opacity event;
(6) the estimated duration of the excess opacity;
(7) the estimated opacity;
(8) the authorized opacity limit for the facilities
having the excess opacity event;
(9) the best known cause of the excess opacity event
at the time of the notification; and
(10) the actions taken, or being taken, to correct
the excess opacity event.
(f) The owner or operator of any regulated entity
subject to the provisions of this section shall perform, upon request
by the executive director or any air pollution control agency with
jurisdiction, a technical evaluation of each emissions event. The
evaluation must include at least an analysis of the probable causes
of each emissions event and any necessary actions to prevent or minimize
recurrence. The evaluation must be submitted in writing to the executive
director and to the appropriate local air pollution agencies with
jurisdiction within 60 days from the date of request. The 60-day
period may be extended by the executive director. Additionally, the
owner or operator of a regulated entity experiencing an emissions
event must provide, in writing, additional or more detailed information
regarding the emissions event when requested by the executive director
or any air pollution control agency with jurisdiction, within the
time established in the request.
(g) On and after January 1, 2003, notifications and
reports required in subsection (c) of this section must be submitted
electronically to the commission using the electronic forms provided
by the commission. On and after January 1, 2004, notifications required
in subsections (a) and (e) of this section must be submitted via
commission's secure Web server, facsimile, or electronic mail to
the commission using electronic forms provided by the commission.
Notwithstanding the requirement to report initial 24-hour notifications
electronically after January 1, 2004, the owner or operator of a
regulated entity experiencing a reportable emissions event that also
requires an initial notification under §327.3 of this title,
is not required to report the event electronically under this section
provided the owner or operator complies Cont'd... |
