Any owner or operator of a major stationary source in El Paso, Galveston,
Harris, Jefferson, and Orange Counties which emits 100 tons or more per year
of any air contaminant specified in Table 1 of §118.1 of this title (relating
to Generalized Air Pollution Episodes) or volatile organic compounds (VOC)
shall prepare and maintain an emission reduction plan. A plan for any existing
source shall be completed within six months after the effective date of this
section. A plan for any new or modified source shall be completed within six
months after the source begins operations. The emission reduction plan shall
be made available to the commission or a local air pollution control agency
upon request and shall contain at least the following:
(1) identification of all sources of air contaminants specified
in Table 1 and sources of VOC to account for at least 95% of the total major
stationary source emissions for each contaminant specified in Table 1 and
VOC;
(2) the approximate amount of each air contaminant specified
in Table 1 and amount of VOC from each facility;
(3) a description of the specified actions to be taken
during a Level 1 episode and the amount of emissions reduction expected for
VOC and for each air contaminant specified in Table 1;
(4) a description of specific actions to be taken to curtail
or cease operations if so directed during a Level 2 episode;
(5) identification of processes which require relatively
lengthy shutdown procedures and of practical limits of production curtailment
to prevent equipment damage; and
(6) identification of processes which, under conditions
of curtailed production, would affect adversely the activities of raw materials
suppliers or product users.
