(d) Any civil penalty may also be appealed to the Pollution Control Hearings Board pursuant to Chapter 43.21B RCW and Chapter 371-08 WAC if the appeal is filed with the Hearings Board and served on the Agency within 30 days after receipt by the person penalized of the notice imposing the penalty or 30 days after receipt of the notice of disposition on the application for relief from penalty.

(e) A civil penalty shall become due and payable on the later of:

AMENDATORY SECTION

REGULATION I SECTION 5.05 GENERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION

(a) General. The owner or operator of an air contaminant source for which registration is required by Section 5.03, shall make reports containing information as 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.

(b) Registration Form. Registration information shall be provided on forms supplied by the Agency and shall be completed and returned within the time specified on the form.

(c) Reporting Responsibility. The owner, operator, or a designated representative shall sign Agency registration and reporting forms for each source. The owner or operator of the source shall be responsible for notifying the Agency of the existence of the source, and for the accuracy, completeness, and timely submittal of registration reporting information and any accompanying fee.

(d) Emission Reporting. An emission report shall be required from each registered source of those air contaminants during the previous calendar year that equal or exceed the following (tons/year):

carbon monoxide (CO) emissions 25

facility-combined total of all toxic air

contaminant (TAC) emissions ((5)) 6

any single toxic air contaminant (TAC)

emissions 2

nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions 25

particulate matter (PM10) emissions 25

sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions 25

volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions 25

Annual emission rates shall be reported to the nearest whole tons per year for only those air contaminants that equal or exceed the thresholds above.

(e) Operation and Maintenance Plan. Owners or operators of air contaminant sources subject to Section 5.03 above shall develop and implement an operation and maintenance plan to assure continuous compliance with Regulations I, II, and III. A copy of the plan shall be filed with the Control Officer upon request. The plan shall reflect good industrial practice and shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(1) Periodic inspection of all equipment and control equipment;

(2) Monitoring and recording of equipment and control equipment performance;

(3) Prompt repair of any defective equipment or control equipment;

(4) Procedures for start up, shut down, and normal operation;

(5) The control measures to be employed to assure compliance with Section 9.15 of Regulation I; and

(6) A record of all actions required by the plan.

The plan shall be reviewed by the source owner or operator at least annually and updated to reflect any changes in good industrial practice.

(f) Report of Closure. Continued payment of the annual registration fee to the Agency maintains the registration of the source with the Agency, as well as the status of the source as an operating facility. A source shall only be removed from the registration program after a written request has been received from the owner or operator of the source. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a source that has been removed from registration, unless the owner or operator has submitted and received an approval for a "Notice of Construction and Application for Approval", in compliance with Article 6.

(g) Report of Change of Ownership. A new owner of a source shall report in writing any change of ownership to the Agency within 90 days of such a change.
