     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 70.94.141.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 70.94.141.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA), governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Wess Safford, 11815 N.E. 99th Street, Suite 1294, Vancouver, WA 98682, (360) 574-3058; Implementation: Paul Mairose, 11815 N.E. 99th Street, Suite 1294, Vancouver, WA 98682, (360) 574-3058; and Enforcement: Robert Elliott, 11815 N.E. 99th Street, Suite 1294, Vancouver, WA 98682, (360) 574-3058.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Changes proposed by SWCAA 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 from SWCAA.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Pursuant to RCW 70.94.141(1), section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. SWCAA is not voluntarily invoking section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995 for this action.

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 01-05-055, filed 2/15/01, effective 3/18/01)


SWCAA 400-099 Per Capita Fees


[Statutory Authority: Chapter 70.94.093 RCW. Original Board adoption - 99-07-030 filed 3/10/99, effective 4/11/99; 01-05-055 filed 2/15/01, effective 3/18/01]


     Each component city or town and county shall pay such proportion of the supplemental income to the Agency as determined by either one of two methods as provided under RCW 70.94.093. The first method is based on the assessed valuation of property within such city or town and county limits bears to the total assessed valuation of taxable property within the jurisdiction of SWCAA. The second method is based on the total population of such city or town and county bears to the total population of the jurisdiction of SWCAA. In addition, a combination of the two methods is allowable provided that such combination is shared at 50 percent each. The SWCAA Board of Directors has elected to use the second method based on population (per capita). ((The "per capita" assessment has been established at 30 cents per person.)) The population shall be determined by the most recent ((census, estimate or survey by the federal bureau of census or any state board or commission authorized to make such a census, estimate or survey)) State of Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM) population estimate. The "per capita" assessment has been established at the following rates:


Assessment Rate Effective Date
$0.30 per citizen April 11, 1999
$0.31 per citizen January 1, 2006
$0.32 per citizen January 1, 2007

Original Board adoption 10/29/69 (Regulation 2 Sec 3); Amended by Board 12/18/79; Amended by Board 8/18/81; Amended by Board 3/20/84; 92-04-030 filed 1/28/92, effective 2/28/92; 93-21-004 filed 10/7/93, effective 11/8/93; 95-17-084 filed 8/21/95, effective 9/21/95; 99-07-032 filed 3/10/99, effective 4/11/99; 01-05-055 filed 2/15/01, effective 3/18/01; 03-21-045 filed 10/9/03, effective 11/9/03]


     The registration program is intended to develop and maintain a current and accurate record of air contaminant sources. Information collected through the registration program is used to evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control strategies and to verify "source" compliance with applicable air pollution requirements.

     (1) Applicability. All "sources" or emission units shall be registered with the Agency in accordance with this section as set forth in RCW 70.94.151 except the following:

     (a) Emission units or activities exempted under SWCAA 400-101; and

     (b) "Stationary sources" required to apply for, or to maintain, an operating permit under Chapter 173-401 WAC.

     (2) General requirements.

     (a) The owner or operator of a "source" for which registration is required shall initially register the "source" with the Agency. A unique identification number shall be assigned to each "source" and a separate registration fee shall be provided for each emission unit; provided that, an owner has the option to register a process with a detailed inventory of air contaminant sources and emissions related to the process. A registration fee shall not be collected for exempt emission units identified in SWCAA 400-101.

     (b) The owner or operator of a registered "source" shall submit annual reports to the Agency. Each report shall contain information as may be required by the Agency concerning location, size and height of contaminant outlets, processes employed, nature and quantity of the air contaminant emission and such other information as is relevant to air pollution and available or reasonably capable of being assembled. Relevant information may include air pollution requirements established by rule, regulatory order or ordinance pursuant to Chapter 70.94 RCW. The owner, operator, or their designated representative shall sign the annual report for each "source," and be responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and timely submittal of all required information.

     (3) Registration fees. An annual registration fee shall be paid before the Control Officer may register any emission unit((, an annual registration fee of $75.00 for each emission unit, plus $39 per ton of each criteria air pollutant and VOC (combined), plus $10 per ton of total toxic air pollutants greater than 1.0 tons, shall be paid)). Annual registration fees cover the period from July 1 through June 30. "Sources" or emission units that permanently shutdown prior to January 1 of the current registration period shall not be liable for registration fees. This provision does not apply to "temporary sources." Operation of equipment subject to registration without payment of applicable registration fees shall be considered a violation of this section. Annual registration fees shall be paid according to the following schedule:


Emission Unit Fee Pollution Emission Fee Effective Date
$75 per emission unit $39/ton of criteria pollutant emission, July 1, 1999
$10/ton of toxic air pollutant emission
$80 per emission unit $41/ton of criteria pollutant emission, January 1, 2006
$15/ton of toxic air pollutant emission
$85 per emission unit $43/ton of criteria pollutant emission, January 1, 2007
$20/ton of toxic air pollutant emission
$90 per emission unit $45/ton of criteria pollutant emission, January 1, 2008

     (b) The registration fee for a small operation may be waived or reduced by the Control Officer provided sufficient demonstration of circumstances is presented, subject to the discretion of the Control Officer.

     (c) "Stationary sources" subject to the Operating Permit Program, as defined in RCW 70.94.030(17), shall pay an operating permit fee in accordance with SWCAA 400-103.

     (4) Delinquent registration fees. Annual registration fees that are unpaid after June 30 for the effective year shall be considered delinquent. Air discharge permits and Orders of Approval for "sources" with delinquent registration fees may be invalidated by the Control Officer. The Agency shall notify the owner or operator of a "source" by certified letter prior to taking action to invalidate affected air discharge permits and Orders of Approval. Notification shall be provided in such a manner as to allow the delinquency to be remedied prior to invalidation.

     (5) Reporting requirements for transfer or permanent shutdown of registered "sources."

     (a) The registered owner or operator shall report the transfer of ownership or permanent shutdown of a registered "source" to the Agency within ninety (90) days of shutdown or transfer. The report shall contain the following information:

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 03-21-045, filed 10/9/03, effective 11/9/03)


SWCAA 400-109 Air Discharge Permit Applications


[Statutory Authority: Chapter 70.94.141 RCW and 70.94.152 RCW. Original Board adoption 95-17-084 filed 8/21/95, effective 9/21/95; 96-21-099 filed 10/21/96, effective 11/21/96; 99-07-027 filed 3/10/99, effective 4/11/99; 01-05-056 filed 2/15/01, effective 3/18/01; 03-21-045 filed 10/9/03, effective 11/9/03]


     (1) Purpose. An air discharge permit application is the document used by the Agency to record and track requests from individual "stationary sources," registered and non-registered, for the purpose of obtaining information regarding proposed changes or activities at a "stationary source." Confidential information shall be identified as set forth in SWCAA 400-270.

     (2) Applicability.

     (a) An air discharge permit application shall be submitted for all new installations, modifications, changes, and alterations to process and emission control equipment consistent with the definition of "new source." The application must be submitted and an air discharge permit must be issued or written confirmation of exempt status must be received before the proposed installations, modifications, changes, or alterations may begin actual construction. Activities that typically require the submission of a permit application include, but are not limited to, the following:

     (i) New construction or installation;

     (ii) Change of existing air discharge permit conditions or terms (including Title V opt-out requests - SWCAA 400-091);

     (iii) Review of existing or installed equipment operating without prior approval;

     (iv) Modification, alteration or replacement of existing process or control equipment;

     (v) Relocation of existing equipment;

     (vi) Review of existing equipment with an expired or lapsed approval or registration;

     (vii) Review of case-by-case RACT, BACT, MACT or other similar determination.

     (b) Submittal of an air discharge permit application shall not automatically impose review requirements pursuant to SWCAA 400-110.

     (c) "Stationary sources" subject to the PSD program (WAC 173-400-141) shall submit a PSD application to Ecology for air pollutants subject to PSD permitting, and submit a permit application to SWCAA for air pollutants that are not subject to PSD permitting.

     (d) The owner or operator of any "new source" that meets the exemption criteria specified in SWCAA 400-101 may provide written notification to SWCAA in lieu of a permit application. The Agency will review each notification, and provide written confirmation of exempt status to the owner or operator of the affected "new source" within 30 days of receiving a complete notification. To be considered complete, written notification shall, at a minimum, contain the following information:

     (i) Name and location of "stationary source";

     (ii) Description of primary processes at the "stationary source";

     (iii) Description of emission units at the "stationary source"; and

     (iv) Estimated air contaminant emissions from "stationary source" operations.

     Exempt status is not effective until confirmed by the Agency, and actual construction of the "new source" shall not begin prior to that time. No further action is required from "stationary sources" deemed to be exempt. However, if the Agency determines that the "new source" does not meet the exemption criteria specified in SWCAA 400-101, an air discharge permit application shall be submitted pursuant to this section.

     (3) Fees. Before the Agency may review a permit application, the applicant shall submit all applicable fees as detailed in the following paragraphs. [Total Application Fee = Filing Fee + Legal Notice Fee (if applicable) + Permit Application Review Fee/Table A + Additional Review Fee/Table B (if applicable) + Major NSR Review Fee/Table C (if applicable)]

     Filing Fee

     A filing fee of (($300.00 and a review fee, as identified in Table A)) $500.00 shall be submitted ((by the applicant. If offsetting emission reductions or other types of review identified in Table B must be performed by the Agency as a result of the proposed installation, alteration, or modification, an additional review fee shall be paid as described in Table B. (Total Fee = Filing Fee + Review Fee [Table A] + Additional Review Fee [Table B]))) for each application.

     Legal Notice Fee

     An applicant who submits an Air Discharge Permit application that requires a Legal Notice to the general public through publication in the newspaper has the option of either paying a flat fee of $160.00 at the time of submittal or being invoiced later. If the applicant chooses to be invoiced later, the total fee will be the actual cost of publication plus a $100.00 fee to compensate for the staff time required to prepare, mail and invoice for the public notice.

     Permit Application Review Fee

     A permit application review fee shall be paid for each permit application. The applicable permit application review fee for each permit application shall be determined from Table A based on the primary emission unit or activity of the proposed new, modified or altered "stationary source." Permit application review fees based on emissions are to utilize actual or proposed allowable emissions, after controls, as supported by test data or emission factors, not potential to emit. ((Other)) Permit application review fees ((as noted in the fee tables are)) based on equipment capacity or size are to utilize the design capacities of affected equipment. ((Where a "stationary source" may fall under multiple categories in Table A, only one fee per application shall apply. In these cases, the fee determination shall be based on the primary emission unit or activity of the new, modified or altered "stationary source.")) If the staff time required to review a permit application exceeds the number of work hours associated with the applicable review fee specified in Table A, the applicant will be invoiced for each additional work hour at the rate of $70.00 per hour.

     Additional/Major NSR Review Fees

     If additional types of review as identified in Tables B and C must be performed by the Agency as a result of the proposed installation, alteration or modification, the applicant shall pay the applicable review fee as specified in those Tables. The review fees identified in Tables B and C are cumulative.
