Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Paul Mairose, Southwest Air Pollution
Control Authority, 1308 N.E. 134th Street, Vancouver, WA, (360) 374-3058 [574-3058]; and Enforcement: Robert D. Elliott, Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority, 1308 N.E. 134th Street, Vancouver, WA, (360) 574-3058.
Name of Proponent: Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: SWAPCA 400-101 Sources Exempt from Registration Requirements, this is an existing rule. Proposed modifications are to change the reference from SWAPCA 460 to chapter 173-460 WAC to reflect the fact that SWAPCA adopts the WAC by reference and therefore clarifies the requirement for the reader. In addition, the exemption for fuel burning equipment has been clarified to describe "office" space heating as the identified exemption.
SWAPCA 400-105 Records, Monitoring and Reporting, this is an existing rule. The proposed changes remove reference to SWAPCA 460 and make reference to chapter 173-460 WAC, add two additional source categories for those type of sources which are required to submit an emission inventory which clarifies the types of sources identified in existing requirements, and to move the source testing section to a separate new section (SWAPCA 400-106) in the rules.
SWAPCA 400-106 Emission Testing at Sources, this is a new rule. This rule was excerpted from SWAPCA 400-105(4). This section is revised to include those conditions that are already being included in permits for source testing of certain equipment. This section will provide more consistency in testing and reporting of test results.
SWAPCA 400-109 Notice of Construction Application, this is an existing rule. The proposed modification to this section is to add the word final in subsection 5 to clarify when a Notice of Construction can be withdrawn.
SWAPCA 400-111 Requirements for Sources in a Maintenance Plan Area, this is an existing rule. Modifications to this rule are clarifications to provide reference to the proper section numbers and clarify the requirement to certify that the source is in compliance. The reference to existing federal rules is being updated to reference the most current standard.
SWAPCA 400-112 Requirements for Sources in Nonattainment Areas, this is an existing rule. Modifications to this section are for clarification to reference chapter 173-460 WAC instead of SWAPCA 460 and to update [and] reference the existing federal rules.
SWAPCA 400-113 Requirements for Sources in Attainment or Nonclassifiable Areas, this is an existing rule. Modifications to this section are clarification to reference chapter 173-460 WAC instead of SWAPCA 460 and to reference the existing federal rules.
SWAPCA 400-115 Standards of Performance for New Sources, this is an existing rule. Modifications to this section include updating the adoption dates on the existing federal rules and adopting additional existing federal standards.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: See above.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Changes proposed by the Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority are consistent with federal or state rules already in effect. This agency is not subject to the small business economic impact provision of chapter 19.85 RCW. A fiscal analysis has been performed to establish the basis for any proposed fee increases. Copies of this analysis are available at the Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. Pursuant to RCW 70.94.141(1), section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. The Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority is not voluntarily invoking section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995.
Hearing Location: Office of the Southwest Air Pollution Control Authority, 1308 N.E. 134th Street, Vancouver, WA 98685, on October 1, 1998, at 3:00 p.m.

[Statutory Authority: Chapter 70.94.141 RCW, 70.94.163 RCW, and 70.94.331 RCW. Original Board adoption 12/17/68 (Regulation 1 Sec 4.08); Amended by Board 10/29/69 (Regulation 2 Sec 3.03); Amended by Board 12/18/79 (400-100(3)); Amended by Board 12/18/79; Amended by Board 4/17/84; 93-21-004 filed 10/7/93, effective 11/8/93; 95-17-084 filed 8/21/95, effective 9/21/95]
All air contaminant emissions units shall be registered with
the Authority except for the emissions units listed in this
section. In the event that a registered source has any of these
emissions units at a location that is otherwise required to be
registered or obtain an operating permit, the Authority may
require that these emissions units be included on the permit or
registration. However, registration fees shall not be assessed
for any of the exempt emissions units. Any source exempted from
registration under this section shall maintain sufficient
documentation acceptable to the Authority that the source is
entitled to exemption under this section. Any source exempted
from registration under this section shall also be considered
exempt from the requirements of SWAPCA 400-110, 400-111, 400-112,
400-113, and 400-114. For the purpose of identifying sources or
emission units exempt from registration, the source's or emission
unit's potential to emit shall be used as the basis for emissions
and shall consider emissions before application of any control
equipment. All exempt emission units shall be identified on an
Order of Authorization to Operate for an otherwise registered
source (refer to SWAPCA 400-109). An exemption for an entire
facility or source shall be valid only if the combined emissions
from all emission units at that site or facility are less than
1.0 ton per year for criteria pollutants and less than the Small
Quantity Emission Rate for each toxic air pollutant identified in
((SWAPCA)) WAC 173-460. If any exemption threshold is exceeded
for an emission unit or units, either individually or combined,
the source or emission unit(s) shall not be considered to be
exempt.
List of Exempt Emission Units or Sources as a Single Source or Emission Unit:
(1) Air conditioning or ventilating systems designed for space heating and cooling, combined or separate, that are less than 2.0 million BTU per hour which do not exhaust to the atmosphere contaminants generated by or released from process equipment.
(2) Any commercial or industrial manufacturing operation or
business or process(es) associated with such operation or
business which emits less than one ton per year combined of
nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, PM10, sulfur dioxide and
volatile organic compounds from all emissions units combined.
The one ton exemption does not apply to emissions of toxic air
pollutants. Sources or emission units with emissions of toxic
air pollutants to the ambient air may be exempted only if the
annual emissions quantity for each toxic air pollutant is below
the Small Quantity Emission Rate (annual rate) for each toxic air
pollutant emitted as identified in ((SWAPCA)) WAC 173-460.
(3) Any commercial or industrial manufacturing operation or business or process(es) associated with such operation or business which is of insufficient stature to trigger a new source review fee assessment, from all emission units combined, as specified in Table A under SWAPCA 400-110.
(4) Asphalt roofing and application equipment (not manufacturing or storage equipment).
(5) Fuel burning equipment unless waste-derived fuel is burned, which:
(a) is used solely for a private dwelling serving less than five families; or

AMENDATORY SECTION
SWAPCA 400-105 Records, Monitoring and Reporting
[Statutory Authority: Chapter 70.94.141 RCW and 70.94.331 RCW. Original Board adoption 12/18/79; Amended by Board 4/17/84 - renumbered to 400-170; Amended by Board (400-170) 12/16/86; 93-21-004 filed 10/7/93, effective 11/8/93; 95-17-084 filed 8/21/95, effective 9/21/95]
The owner or operator of each registered source or emission
unit shall maintain records of the type and quantity of emissions
from the source and other information deemed necessary to
determine whether the source is in compliance with applicable
emission limitations, operating limitations, and control
measures. Sources that are not subject to the registration
requirements of SWAPCA 400-100 because they are exempt under
SWAPCA 400-101 shall ((nevertheless)) maintain records and other
information necessary and sufficient to substantiate that their
small quantity emissions are less than the applicable thresholds.
(1) Emission inventory.
(a) When requested, the owner(s) or operator(s) of any air
contaminant source shall submit an inventory of emissions from
the source each year to the Authority. The inventory shall
include stack and fugitive emissions of particulate matter, PM10,
sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, total
reduced sulfur compounds (TRS), fluorides, lead, VOCs, and toxic
air pollutants identified in ((SWAPCA)) WAC 173-460. The
owner(s) or operator(s) shall maintain records of information
necessary to substantiate any reported emissions, consistent with
the averaging times for the applicable standards.
(b) The emission inventory form supplied by the Authority shall be completed and returned to the Authority by April 15th for the following sources:
(i) Sources with the potential to emit over 100 tons of
criteria pollutants, 10 tons of a single hazardous air pollutant
or 25 tons of combined hazardous air pollutants, sources subject
to NSPS, except subpart AAA, and sources subject to NESHAPS,
except subpart M, sources are required to submit an emissions
inventory. Only the hazardous air pollutants listed in Section
112 of the FCAA are considered for inclusion as hazardous air
pollutant emissions for the purpose of determining those sources
required to submit an emissions inventory. ((Minimum data
required for the emissions inventory includes: emissions type,
emissions quantity, process data, stack parameters, operating
schedule, control equipment and boiler capacity.))
(ii) In ozone nonattainment or maintenance plan areas, those
sources that emit over 10 tons of VOCs per year or over 25 tons
per year of NOX are also required to submit emission inventories.
((Minimum data required for the emissions inventory includes:
emissions type, emissions quantity, process data, stack
parameters, operating schedule, control equipment, and equipment
capacity.)) Sources subject to this section are also required to
submit average daily emissions or process throughput data for NOX
and VOCs for ozone season in preparation for the SIP update.
(iii) Sources with actual emissions or potential to emit greater than 50% of the Title V permit thresholds as identified in (i) above.
(iv) Synthetic minor or Title V opt out sources.
(2) Monitoring. The Authority shall conduct a continuous surveillance program to monitor the quality of the ambient atmosphere as to concentrations and movements of air contaminants. As a part of this program, the Control Officer or an authorized representative may require any source under the jurisdiction of the Authority to conduct stack and/or ambient air monitoring and to report the results to the Authority.
(3) Investigation of conditions. Upon presentation of appropriate credentials, for the purpose of investigating conditions specific to the control, recovery, or release of air contaminants into the atmosphere, personnel from the Authority shall have the power to enter at reasonable times upon any private or public property, excepting non-multiple unit private dwellings housing one or two families.
(((4) Source testing. To determine compliance, evaluate
control equipment performance, evaluate RACT or quantify
emissions the Authority may conduct or require that a test be
conducted of the source or any emissions unit within the
jurisdiction of the Authority. Source testing shall be performed
using appropriate sampling and analytical methods as approved in
advance by the Authority including, but not limited to, approved
EPA methods from 40 CFR 60 Appendix A which are adopted by
reference, or alternate procedures approved by the Authority.
The operator of a source shall provide the necessary platform and
sampling ports for Authority personnel or others to perform a
test of an emissions unit. The Authority shall be allowed to
obtain a sample from any emissions unit. The operator of the
source shall be given an opportunity to observe the sampling and
to obtain a sample at the same time.))
(54) Continuous monitoring and recording. Owners and
operators of the following categories of sources shall install,
calibrate, maintain and operate equipment for continuously
monitoring and recording those emissions specified.
(a) Fossil fuel-fired steam generators.
(i) Opacity, except where:
(A) Steam generator capacity is less than two hundred fifty million Btu per hour heat input; or
(B) Only gaseous fuel is burned.
(ii) Sulfur dioxide, except where steam generator capacity is less than two hundred fifty million Btu per hour heat input or if sulfur dioxide control equipment is not required.
(iii) Percent oxygen or carbon dioxide where such measurements are necessary for the conversion of sulfur dioxide continuous emission monitoring data.
(iv) General exception. These requirements do not apply to a fossil fuel-fired steam generator with an annual average capacity factor of less than thirty percent, as reported to the Federal Power Commission for calendar year 1974, or as otherwise demonstrated to the Authority by the owner(s) or operator(s).
(b) Sulfuric acid plants. Sulfur dioxide where production capacity is more than three hundred tons per day, expressed as one hundred percent acid, except for those facilities where conversion to sulfuric acid is utilized primarily as a means of preventing emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur dioxide or other sulfur compounds.
(c) Fluidized bed catalytic cracking units catalyst regenerators at petroleum refineries. Opacity where fresh feed capacity is more than twenty thousand barrels per day.
(d) Wood residue fuel-fired steam generators.
(i) Opacity, except where steam generator capacity is less than one hundred million Btu per hour heat input.
(ii) Continuous monitoring equipment. The requirements of SWAPCA 400-105 (5)(e) do not apply to wood residue fuel-fired steam generators, but continuous monitoring equipment required by SWAPCA 400-105 (5)(d) shall be subject to approval by the Authority.
(e) Owners and operators of those sources required to
install continuous monitoring equipment under this section shall
demonstrate to the Authority, compliance with the equipment and
performance specifications and observe the reporting requirements
contained in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P, Sections 3, 4 and 5, and
40 CFR 60 Appendices B through F, as appropriate, as in effect
August 1, 19968 which is adopted by reference.
(f) Special considerations. If for reason of physical plant limitations or extreme economic situations, the Authority determines that continuous monitoring is not a reasonable requirement, alternative monitoring and reporting procedures shall be established on an individual basis. Alternative monitoring and reporting procedures may include continuous monitoring of process/operational parameters as a surrogate to continuous emissions monitoring and/or stack tests conducted at a frequency sufficient to determine compliance with applicable regulations and permit requirements as well as to quantify emissions.
(g) Exemptions. This subsection (5) does not apply to any source which is:
(i) Subject to a new source performance standard. NSPS sources shall be governed by SWAPCA 400-115.
(ii) Not subject to an applicable emission standard.
(h) Monitoring system malfunctions. A source may be temporarily exempted from the monitoring and reporting requirements of this section during periods of monitoring system malfunctions provided that the source owner(s) or operator(s) shows to the satisfaction of the Authority that the malfunction was unavoidable and is being repaired as expeditiously as practicable.
(65) Change in raw materials or fuels for sources not
subject to requirements of the Operating Permit Program. Any
change or series of changes in raw material or fuel which will
result in a cumulative increase in emissions of sulfur dioxide of
forty tons per year or more over that stated in the initial
inventory required by SWAPCA 400-105(1) shall require the
submittal of sufficient information to the Authority to determine
the effect of the increase upon ambient concentrations of sulfur
dioxide. The Authority may issue regulatory orders requiring
controls to reduce the effect of such increases. Cumulative
changes in raw material or fuel of less than 0.5 percent increase
or decrease in average annual sulfur content over the initial
inventory shall not require such notice.
(76) Misrepresentation. No person shall make any false
material statement, representation or certification in any form,
notice, or report required under Chapter 70.94 or 70.120 RCW, or
any ordinance, resolution, regulation, permit or order in force
pursuant thereto.
(87) Tampering. No person shall render inaccurate any
monitoring device or method required under Chapter 70.94 or
70.120 RCW, or any ordinance, resolution, regulation, permit, or
order n force pursuant thereto.

SWAPCA 400-111 Requirements for Sources in a Maintenance Plan Area
Any person proposing to install, construct or operate a new source or emission unit or make a modification to an existing source or emission unit shall file a Notice of Construction application with the Authority in accordance with SWAPCA 400-109 and shall be subject to the New Source Review provisions of SWAPCA 400-110. Confidential information shall be identified as set forth in SWAPCA 400-270. A Notice of Construction application to establish a new source or make a modification to a source in an area that is covered by a maintenance plan, shall result in the issuance of an Order of Approval or other regulatory order. Such order shall contain such conditions as are reasonably necessary to assure the maintenance of compliance with this section, if it is determined that the proposed project satisfies all of the requirements of this section. New sources or modifications within a designated maintenance plan area, including sources of VOC or NOx in a designated ozone maintenance plan area, shall meet the requirements listed below.
(1) Emission Standards. The proposed new source or modification shall:
(a) comply with all applicable New Source Performance Standards, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, emission standards adopted under Chapter 70.94 RCW and, the applicable emission standards of the Authority; and
(b) not cause any ambient air quality standard as provided in SWAPCA 400-113(3) to be exceeded; and
(c) not violate the requirements for reasonable further progress established by the Washington State Implementation Plan; and
(d) minimize emissions to the extent that the new source or modification will not delay the attainment date for a nonattainment area, exceed emission levels or other requirements provided in a maintenance plan for an area that was previously identified as a nonattainment area, nor cause or contribute to a violation of any ambient air quality standard.
(2) BACT. Except as provided in Section (87) of this
section, the owner or operator of the proposed new source or
modification shall apply BACT for each pollutant. In the case of
a modification, the requirement for BACT shall apply to each new
or modified emission unit which increases emissions. For phased
construction projects, the determination of BACT shall be
reviewed at the latest reasonable time prior to commencement of
construction of each independent phase.
(3) Source Compliance. The owner or operator of the
proposed new source or modification shall ((demonstrate)) certify
that all sources owned or operated by such person (or by an
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
such person) in Washington are in compliance or on a schedule for
compliance, with all applicable emission limitations and
standards under the Washington Clean Air Act (RCW 70.94).
(4) Offsets or Growth Allowance. The owner or operator of a
proposed new major source or major modification shall provide
offsets as specified in Section (98) of this section. Except as
provided in Section (87) of this section, the requirements of
this Section may be met in whole or in part in an ozone
maintenance plan area with an allocation by SWAPCA from a growth
allowance, if available, in accordance with Section (98) of this
section and the applicable maintenance plan in the SIP adopted by
the Board and approved by EPA.
(5) Net Air Quality Benefit. For cases in which emission reduction or offsets are required in accordance with Section (4) above, the applicant shall demonstrate that a net air quality benefit will be achieved in the maintenance plan area. If the proposed new source or the proposed modification is major for the contaminant for which the area has a maintenance plan, allowable emissions of the maintenance pollutant from the proposed new source or modification shall be offset by reductions in actual emissions of the maintenance pollutant. All offsetting emission reductions must satisfy the following requirements of Section (8).
(6) Alternative Analysis.
(a) Except as provided in Subsection (c) of this section, the owner or operator of a proposed major source or major modification shall conduct an alternatives analysis;
(b) This analysis shall include an evaluation of alternative sites, sizes, production processes, and environmental control techniques for such proposed source or modification which demonstrates that benefits of the proposed source or modification significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its location, construction or modification;
(c) This analysis shall not be required for a major source or major modification that is subject to this rule due to emissions of particulate matter in a designated TSP maintenance area.
(7) Contingency Plan Requirements. If the contingency plan in an applicable maintenance plan (CO or ozone) has been triggered due to a violation of an ozone ambient air quality standard or a second violation of the CO ambient air quality standard, this Section shall apply in addition to other requirements of this rule and the applicable approved maintenance plan adopted by the Board and approved by EPA as a revision to the SIP.
(a) The requirements for BACT in Section (2) of this Section shall be replaced by a requirement for LAER. If the new source is a major stationary source or the proposed modification is a major modification, it must achieve LAER for the maintenance pollutant and for which the proposed new source or modification is major.
(b) An allocation from a growth allowance shall not be used to meet the requirement for offsets in Section (4) of this Section. The growth allowance emissions shall be unavailable until such time as sufficient demonstration is made to reinstate the growth allowance emissions.
(8) Industrial Growth Allowance and Offset Allocation.
(a) Industrial growth allowances for sources in a maintenance plan area are identified in and governed by the Washington State Implementation Plan and the applicable maintenance plan for the applicable maintenance plan area.
(b) The growth allowance emissions may be increased or decreased as provided in a revision to the maintenance plan submitted to and approved by EPA. In the event of a confirmed ozone violation, the growth allowance for VOC and NOx emissions shall be eliminated and new sources shall be required to implement LAER and offsets. Growth allowance emissions may be reinstated as provided in the EPA approved maintenance plan.
(c) The owner or operator of a proposed new major source or major modification emitting VOCs or NOx, may obtain a portion of any remaining emissions in the respective growth allowance in accordance with the following process:
(i) Access is on a first-come-first-served basis, based on the date of a complete notice of construction and allowance allocation request;
(ii) No single source may receive an emissions allocation of more than 50% of any remaining growth allowance, or up to 10 tons per year, which ever is greater. On a case-by-case basis, the SWAPCA Board of Directors may approve an emissions allocation of greater than 50% upon consideration of the following:
(A) Information submitted by the source to SWAPCA justifying it's request for exceeding the 50% emissions allocation, based on significant economic, employment, or other benefits to the maintenance plan area that will result from the proposed new major source or major modification;
(B) Information provided by SWAPCA on other known new major sources or major modifications seeking an emissions allocation from the same growth allowance; and
(C) Other relevant information submitted by the source or SWAPCA.
(iii) To avoid jeopardizing maintenance of the ozone standard during the interim years of the ozone maintenance plan, SWAPCA shall allocate only a portion of the VOC and NOx growth allowances each year. SWAPCA will track use of VOC and NOx emissions from the growth allowances. The amount of the growth allowance that can be allocated each year is identified in the applicable ozone maintenance plan.
(iv) The amount of the CO growth allowance that can be allocated is identified in the applicable CO maintenance plan, if any.
(d) If no emissions remain in the respective growth allowance or the contingency plan has been triggered which effectively zeros the growth allowance, the owner or operator of the proposed major source or major modification shall provide offsets. Applicants in a maintenance area shall demonstrate the following:
(i) A demonstration shall be provided showing that the proposed offsets will improve air quality in the same geographical area affected by the new source or modification. This demonstration may require that air quality modeling be conducted according to the procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W, Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised).
(ii) Offsets for VOCs or nitrogen oxides shall be within the same maintenance plan area as the proposed source. Offsets for particulate matter, PM10, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and other pollutants shall be less than the level of significant air quality impact. (Refer to SWAPCA 400-110 (1)(g) for significance levels).
(iii) New sources or modifications shall meet the following offset requirements:
(A) within a designated maintenance plan area, the offsets shall provide reduction which are equivalent or greater than the proposed increases. The offsets shall be appropriate in terms of short term, seasonal, and yearly time periods to mitigate the impacts of the proposed emissions;
(B) outside a designated maintenance plan area, owners or operators of new sources or modifications which have a significant air quality impact on the maintenance plan area as provided in SWAPCA 400-113(3) shall provide emission offsets which are sufficient to reduce impacts to levels below the significant air quality impact level with the maintenance plan area; and
(C) The emission reductions must provide for a net air quality benefit.
(I) New major sources within an ozone maintenance plan area shall:
(a) Offset the new VOC emissions at a ratio of 1.1 to 1, if the VOC emissions exceed either 100 tons per year or 700 pounds per day.
(b) Offset the new NOx emissions at a ratio of 1.1 to 1, if the NOx emissions exceed either 100 tons per year or 700 pounds per day.
(II) Sources within an ozone maintenance plan area undergoing major modifications shall:
(a) Offset the entire VOC emissions increase at a ratio of 1.1 to 1, if such increase exceeds either 40 tons per year or 290 pounds per day.
(b) Offset the entire NOx emissions increase at a ratio of 1.1 to 1, if such increase exceeds either 40 tons per year or 290 pounds per day.
(III) New major sources within a carbon monoxide maintenance plan area shall:
(a) Offset the new carbon monoxide emissions at a ratio of 1 to 1, if the carbon monoxide emissions exceed either 100 tons per year or 700 pounds per day.
(IV) Sources within a carbon monoxide maintenance plan area undergoing major modifications shall:
(a) Offset the entire carbon monoxide emissions increase at a ratio of 1 to 1, if such increase exceeds either 100 tons per year or 700 pounds per day.
(D) New major sources or major modifications with CO emissions greater than 250 tpy are required to obtain offsets and comply with the PSD requirements of SWAPCA 400-141.
(iv) The emission reduction shall be of the same type of pollutant as the emissions from the new source or modification. Sources of PM10 shall be offset with particulate in the same size range.
(v) The emission reductions shall be contemporaneous, that is, the reductions shall take effect prior to the time of startup but not more than two years prior to the submittal of a complete notice of construction application for the new source or modification. This time limitation may be extended through banking, as provided in SWAPCA 400-130, 400-131 and 400-136 for banking activities approved after the effective date of this regulation. In the case of replacement facilities, SWAPCA may allow simultaneous operation of the old and new facilities during the startup period of the new facility provided that emissions do not exceed the new emission limits.
(vi) New major sources or major modifications in a maintenance plan area shall:
(A) The proposed new level of allowable emissions of the source or emissions units providing the reduction must be less than the current level of actual emissions of that source or emission unit(s). No emission reduction can be credited for actual emissions which exceed the current allowable emissions of the source or emissions unit(s) providing the reduction. Emission reductions imposed by local, state, or federal regulations, regulatory orders or permits cannot be credited.
(B) If the offsets are provided by another source, the reductions in emissions from that source must be federally enforceable by the time the new or modified source commences operation. The new source may not commence operation before the date such reductions are actually achieved. SWAPCA may allow simultaneous operation of the old and new facilities during the startup period of the new facility provided that the facility wide emissions do not exceed the new emission limit.
(9) PSD Applicability. If the proposed new source is a major stationary source or the proposed modification is a major modification for the purposes of the PSD program as described in SWAPCA 400-141, the new source or modification shall meet the requirements of that program for all pollutants. For maintenance plan pollutants, the source shall meet all PSD requirements in addition to the additional requirements of this Section.
(10) Toxics. If the proposed new source or modification
will emit any toxic air pollutants regulated under ((SWAPCA)) WAC
173-460, the source shall meet all applicable requirements of
that regulation.
(11) Visibility. If the proposed new source is a major
stationary source or the proposed modification is a major
modification, the source shall meet all the visibility protection
requirements of 40 CFR 52.27 as in effect on ((August 1, 1995))
July 1, 1998.
(12) Noncompliance. Noncompliance with any emission limit, test requirement, reporting requirement or other requirement identified in a regulatory order issued pursuant to this section shall be considered a violation of this section.
