B. APPLICABILITY. Applies to the rules in articles 3 and 4.
C. EXEMPTIONS. None.
D. VARIANCES. (7.01 & RCW 70.94.181)
A. Any person who owns or is in control of any plant,
building, structure, establishment, process or equipment, may
apply to the Board for a variance from the provisions of these
Regulations governing the quality, nature, duration or extent of
discharge of air contaminants in accordance with the provisions
of RCW 70.94.181. The application shall be accompanied by such
information and data as the Board may require. The Board may
grant such variance, but only after public hearing or due notice
if the Board finds that:
1. The emissions occurring or proposed to occur do not endanger public health or safety or the environment; and
2. Compliance with the rules and regulations from which variance is sought would produce serious hardship without equal or greater benefits to the public.
3. Provided, however, that the Board will not grant variances to state rules unless the same have been approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology prior to being issued by the Yakima County Clean Air Authority.
4. Total time period for a variance and a renewal of such variance shall not exceed one year.
B. No variance shall be granted pursuant to this section until the Board has considered the relative interest of the applicant, other owners of property likely to be affected by the emissions, and the general public.
C. Any variance or renewal thereof shall be granted within the requirements of subsection A and for time periods and under conditions consistent with the reasons therefore, and within the following limitations:
1. If the variance is granted on the ground that there is no practicable means known or available for the adequate prevention, abatement or control of the pollution involved, it shall be only until the necessary means for prevention, abatement or control become known and available, and subject to the taking of any substitute or alternative measures that the Department of Ecology or Board may prescribe.
1. If the variance is granted on the ground that compliance with the particular requirements or requirement from which variance is sought will require the taking of measures which, because of their extent or cost, must be spread over a considerable period of time, it shall be for a period not to exceed such reasonable time, as in the view of the Department of Ecology or Board is requisite for the taking of the necessary measures. A variance granted on the ground specified herein shall contain a timetable for the taking of action in an expeditious manner and shall be conditioned on adherence to such timetable.
2. If the variance is granted on the ground that it is justified to relieve or prevent hardships of a kind, other than that provided for in Subsections 7.01 (A)(1), (2), and (3), it shall be for not more than one (1) year.
D. If renewal is made to the Board on account of the variance, no renewal thereof shall be granted unless, following a public hearing on the complaint on due notice, the Board finds that renewal is justified. No renewal shall be granted except on application therefor. Any such application shall be made at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the variance. Immediately upon the receipt of the application for renewal the Board shall give public notice of such application in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board.
E. A variance or renewal shall not be a right of the applicant or holder thereof but shall be granted at the discretion of the Board. However, any applicant adversely affected by the denial or the terms and conditions of the granting of an application for variance or renewal of a variance by the Board, may obtain judicial review thereof under the provisions of Chapter 34.05 of RCW as now or hereafter amended.
F. Nothing in this section and no variance or renewal granted pursuant hereto shall be construed to prevent or limit the applications of the emergency provisions and procedures of RCW 70.94.710 through 70.94.730 to any person or their property.

Any person applying for a Notification of Demolition or
Renovation from the Authority or private homeowners, prior to
removing asbestos materials from their homes, may be assessed a
fee by the Authority in accordance with the following fee
schedule:
A. Workload Analysis.
The Authority shall conduct an annual workload analysis of its air operating permit program to determine the adequacy and fairness of the air operating permit fees. The workload analysis shall identify all permit administration activities that the Authority will perform during that year. Permit Administration activities included all activities listed in RCW 70.94.162 (2)(a). The workload analysis shall be based on the Authority's historical record of time and resource expenditures attributable to the air operating permit program.
B. Budget Development.
The Authority shall prepare an annual operating permit program budget. The budget shall included both the direct and indirect costs of the permit administration activities identified in the workload analysis, and shall take into account projected fund balances at the start of each fiscal year.
C. Fee Allocation.
Fees sufficient to cover the costs of the Authority's air operating permit program shall be assessed such that each source shall pay an amount equal to that source's portion of the total annual emissions (determined from the previous year's emission inventory) of the fee applicable pollutants from all the permit program source's within the Authority's jurisdiction. The fee applicable pollutants shall be as follows:
1) Total Suspended Particulate (TSP)
2) Sulfur Oxides (SOx)
3) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
4) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
5) Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)
The air operating permit fee for an individual source shall be calculated according to the following formula:
F = B x SE/TE,
where:
F = Source's annual air operating permit fee;
B = The Authority's budget for the air operating permit program;
SE = The sum of the annual emissions of fee applicable pollutants in tons per year from the source;
TE = The sum of annual emissions of fee applicable pollutants in tons per year from all permit program sources.
D. Public Notice.
The workload analysis budget and fee allocations shall be made available upon request. Any proposed revisions to the annual fee schedule shall be presented to the Board for adoption after public notice has been given.
