AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 94-18-114, filed 9/6/94)

SECTION 5.01 DEFINITIONS

In addition to the definitions provided in Article I of this R((r))egulation and unless a different meaning is clearly required by context, words and phrases used in this Article shall have the following meaning:

A. ((C.)) Stationary Air Contaminant Source means any building, structure, facility, or installation, including any emissions unit as defined in Section 1.04 of this ((r))Regulation, that emits or may emit any air contaminant.

B. ((A.)) Modification means any physical change ((in)), or change in the method of operation of, a((n)) stationary air contaminant source that increases the amount of any air contaminant emitted by such a stationary air contaminant source or that results in the emissions of any air contaminant not previously emitted. The term modification shall be construed consistent with the definition of modification in ((Section)) 42 USC 7411, ((Title 42, United States Code)), and with the rules implementing that section.

C. ((B.)) New Stationary Air Contaminant Source means the construction or installation ((modification)) of a((n)) stationary air contaminant source ((that increases the amount of any air contaminant emitted by such a source or that results in the emission of any air contaminant not previously emitted;)) and any other project that constitutes a new source under the Federal Clean Air Act. Replacement of existing emission unit(s) with new or used emission unit(s) qualifies as a new stationary air contaminant source, except as provided by the Control Officer in a Notice of Construction Approval.

Reviser's note: The typographical error in the above material occurred in the copy filed by the Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority and appears in the Register pursuant to the requirements of RCW 34.08.040.

((New source r)) Review of a modification shall be limited to the emission unit or units proposed to be modified and the air contaminants whose emissions would increase as a result of the modification.

B. New and modified stationary air contaminant source emission calculations shall be based on a((n)) stationary air contaminant source's potential to emit, as defined in Chapter 173-400-030 WAC.

C. ((B.)) No person shall replace or substantially alter the emissions control equipment installed on an existing stationary air contaminant source, except as provided for in 5.02.F ((D)) and 5.02.G ((E)) of this ((s))Section, unless a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval has been filed by the owner or operator of the stationary air contaminant source (using Authority prepared and furnished application and information request forms) and approved by the Control Officer ((Authority using forms prepared and furnished by the Authority)).

D. ((C.)) A separate Notice of Construction and Application for Approval shall be filed for each new or modified stationary air contaminant source or emissions control system, unless identical units are to be constructed, installed, or established and operated in an identical manner at the same facility. ((; provided that, t)) The owner or operator has the option to file one application for an entire facility, with a detailed inventory of contaminant sources and emissions related to that facility.

E. ((D.)) A Notice of Construction and Application for Approval shall not be required to commence an alteration, which would normally require a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval, pursuant to 5.02.D ((B)) of this ((s))Section, in the event of a breakdown or if delaying the alteration may endanger life or have other serious consequences. The Authority shall be notified in writing of the alteration ((on)) no later than the first working day after the alteration is commenced and a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval shall be filed within 14 days after the day that the alteration is commenced. For purposes of compliance with Section 5.02, the Control Officer shall determine whether an alteration, commenced before issuance of an order of approval, meets the requirements of this subsection.

F. ((E.)) Construction, installation, establishment, modification, or alteration of air contaminant sources, comprised of equipment utilized exclusively in connection with any structure, which is designed for, and used exclusively as, a residence with not more than four dwelling units, shall not require a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval.

G. ((F. Construction, installation, establishment, or operation of a)) Owners or operators of temporary ((portable)) stationary air contaminant sources, operating in accordance with Section 5.08 - Temporary Stationary Air Contaminant Sources, ((which has met the requirements of Section 5.08)) shall not be required to apply for a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval.

H. ((G)). A person seeking approval to construct, install, or modify a((n)) stationary air contaminant source at a Chapter 401 source as defined in WAC 173-401-200(6), ((that requires an operating permit)) may elect to integrate review of the operating permit application or amendment ((required under RCW 70.94.161)) and the Notice of Construction and Application for Approval required by this Article. A Notice of Construction and Application for Approval designated for integrated review shall be processed in accordance with the operating permit program procedures and deadlines ((as found)) in Chapter 173-401 WAC.
