SECTION 3. 326 IAC 2-2-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-2-1 Definitions

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3
Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17


Sec. 1. (a) The definitions in this section apply throughout this rule.

(b) "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated new source review (NSR) pollutant from an emissions unit as determined in accordance with the following:
(1) In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive twenty-four (24) month period preceding the particular date and representative of normal source operation. The department shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.
(2) The department may presume that source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the unit.
(3) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.
(4) The term shall not apply for calculating a significant emissions increase under section 2(d) of this rule or for establishing a PAL under 326 IAC 2-2.4. Instead, subsections (e) and (rr) (pp) shall apply for those purposes.

(c) "Adverse impact on visibility" means visibility impairment that interferes with the management, protection, preservation, or enjoyment of the visitor's visual experience of the federal Class I area as defined in section 13 of this rule. This determination must be made on a case-by-case basis taking into account the geographic extent, intensity, duration, frequency, and time of visibility impairment, and how these factors correlate with:
(1) times of visitor use of the federal Class I area; and
(2) the frequency and timing of natural conditions that reduce visibility.

(d) "Allowable emissions" means the emissions rate of a stationary source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source (unless a source is subject to enforceable permit limits that restrict the operating rate or hours of operation, or both) and the most stringent of the:
(1) applicable standards as set forth in 40 CFR Part 60* and 40 CFR Part 61*;
(2) state implementation plan SIP emissions limitation, including those with a future compliance date; or
(3) emissions rate specified as an enforceable permit condition, including those with a future compliance date.

(e) "Baseline actual emissions" means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as determined in accordance with the following:
(1) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, "baseline actual emissions" the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The commissioner shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. The baseline actual emissions shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.
(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.
(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.
(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by clause (B).
(2) For an existing emissions unit other than an electric utility steam generating unit, "baseline actual emissions" the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten (10) year period immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project or the date a complete permit application is received by the department for a permit required by this rule, except that the ten (10) year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990. The baseline actual emissions shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.
(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.
(C) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply had the major stationary source been required to comply with the limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period. However, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the U.S. EPA proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR Part 63*, the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the department has applied the emissions reductions to an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan consistent with the requirements of 326 IAC 2-3-3(b)(14). 326 IAC 2-3-3(b)(12).
(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for all the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.
(E) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by clauses (B) and (C).
(3) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of the unit shall equal zero (0) and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's potential to emit.
(4) For a PAL for a stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated as follows:
(A) For an existing electric utility steam generating unit, in accordance with subdivision (1).
(B) For an existing emissions unit except an existing electric utility steam generating unit, in accordance with subdivision (2).
(C) For a new emissions unit, in accordance with subdivision (3).

(f) "Baseline area" means the following:

(2) Area redesignations under 326 IAC 1-4 and Section 107(d)(1)(D) or 107(d)(1)(E) of the Clean Air Act CAA cannot intersect or be smaller than the area of impact of any major stationary source or major modification that:
(A) establishes a minor source baseline date; or
(B) is subject to 40 CFR Part 52.21* and this rule and would be constructed in the same state as the state proposing the redesignation.
(3) Any baseline area established originally for the total suspended particulate (TSP) increments shall remain in effect and shall apply for purposes of determining the amount of available PM10 increments, except that the baseline area shall not remain in effect if the U.S. EPA rescinds the corresponding minor source baseline date in accordance with 40 CFR Part 52.21(b)(14)(iv)*.

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3


Sec. 2. (a) The requirements of sections 3 through 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, and 15 of this rule apply to the construction of any new major stationary source or the major modification of any existing major stationary source except as this rule otherwise provides.

(b) The requirements of this rule apply to the construction of any new major stationary source or any project at an existing major stationary source in an area designated as attainment or unclassifiable in 326 IAC 1-4.

(c) No new major stationary source or major modification to which the requirements of sections 3 through 5, 7, 8(a), 10, 14, and 15 of this rule apply shall begin actual construction without a permit that states that the major stationary source or major modification will meet the requirements of sections 3 through 5, 7, 8(a), 10, 14, and 15 of this rule.

(d) The requirements of this rule will be applied in accordance with the following:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsections subsection (e), and (f), and consistent with the definition of major modification contained in section 1(ee) 1(dd) of this rule, a project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if it causes both a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase. The project is not a major modification if it does not cause a significant emissions increase. If the project causes a significant emissions increase, then the project is a major modification only if it also results in a significant net emissions increase.
(2) Prior to beginning actual construction, the procedure for calculating if a significant emissions increase will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified as provided in subdivisions (3) through (6). (5). The procedure for calculating, before beginning actual construction, if a significant net emissions increase will occur at the major stationary source is contained in section 1(jj) 1(ii) of this rule. Regardless of any preconstruction projections, a major modification results if the project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase.
(3) For an actual-to-projected-actual applicability test for projects that only involve existing emissions units, a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference between the projected actual emissions and the baseline actual emissions for each existing emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.
(4) For an actual-to-potential applicability test for projects that only involve construction of new emissions units, a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference between the potential to emit from each new emissions unit following completion of the project and the baseline actual emissions of these units before the project equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.
(5) For a project that will be constructed and operated at a clean unit without causing the emissions unit to lose its clean unit designation, no emissions increase is considered to occur.
(6) (5) For projects that involve a combination of emission units using the tests in subdivisions (3) through (5), and (4), a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the emissions increases for each emissions unit, using the method specified in subdivisions (3) through (5), and (4), as applicable, with respect to each emissions unit, for each type of emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.

(e) For any major stationary source for which a PAL has been established for a regulated NSR pollutant, the major stationary source shall comply with the requirements under 326 IAC 2-2.4.

(f) An owner or operator undertaking a PCP shall comply with the requirements under 326 IAC 2-2.3.

(g) (f) Sources that are located in or proposed to be located in an area designated as nonattainment under 326 IAC 1-4 for a pollutant shall be exempt from the requirements of this rule for that particular pollutant and subject to 326 IAC 2-3.

(h) (g) A source or modification of a source that is or would be a nonprofit health or nonprofit educational institution shall be exempt from the requirements of sections 3, 4, and 7 of this rule.

(i) (h) The requirements of sections 3 through 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, and 15 of this rule do not apply to a particular major stationary source or major modification if the source or modification is a portable stationary source that has previously received a permit under 326 IAC 2-5.1-3 or 326 IAC 2-7 and the permit contains conditions from 40 CFR Part 52.21* or this rule if:
(1) the source proposes to relocate and emissions of the source at the new location would be temporary;
(2) the emissions from the source would not exceed its allowable emissions;
(3) emissions from the source would impact no Class I area and no area where an applicable increment is known to be violated; and
(4) ten (10) days advance notice is given to the department prior to the relocation identifying the proposed new location and probable duration of the operation at the new location.

(1) With respect to any pollutant for which no ambient air quality standard designated in 326 IAC 1-3 exists, the analysis shall contain such air quality monitoring data as the commissioner determines is necessary to assess ambient air quality for that pollutant in any area that the emissions of that pollutant would affect.
(2) With respect to any pollutant (other than nonmethane hydrocarbons) for which an ambient air quality standard as designated in 326 IAC 1-3 does exist, exists, the analysis shall contain continuous air quality monitoring data gathered for the purpose of determining whether emissions of that pollutant would cause or contribute to a violation of the standard or any maximum allowable increase.
(3) In general, the continuous air quality monitoring data that is required shall have been gathered over a period of at least one (1) year preceding receipt of the application, except that, if the commissioner determines that a complete and adequate analysis can be accomplished with monitoring data gathered over a period shorter than one (1) year (but not less than four (4) months), the data that is required shall have been gathered over at least that shorter period.
(4) The owner or operator of the proposed major stationary source or major modification of volatile organic compounds VOC who satisfies all conditions of 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix S, Section IV* may provide post-approval monitoring data for ozone in lieu of providing preconstruction data as required under this subsection.
(5) The owner or operator of a major stationary source or major modification shall, after construction of the source or modification, conduct such ambient monitoring as the commissioner determines is necessary to determine the effect of the emissions that the source or modification may have, or are is having, on air quality in any area.
(6) The owner or operator of a major stationary source or major modification shall comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix B* during operation of monitoring stations for purposes of complying with this section.

326 IAC 2-2-8 Source obligation

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3
Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17


Sec. 8. (a) The following shall apply to any owner or operator who proposes to construct, constructs, or operates a major stationary source or major modification subject to this rule:
(1) Approval to construct, under section 2(b) of this rule, shall become invalid if construction:
(A) is not commenced within eighteen (18) months after receipt of the approval; if construction
(B) is discontinued for a period of eighteen (18) months or more; or if construction
(C) is not completed within a reasonable time.
The commissioner may extend the eighteen (18) month period upon a satisfactory showing that an extension is justified. This provision does not apply to the time period between construction of the approved phases of a phased construction project. Each phase must commence construction within eighteen (18) months of the projected and approved commencement date.
(2) Approval for construction shall not relieve any owner or operator of the responsibility to comply fully with applicable provisions of the state implementation plan SIP and any other requirements under local, state, or federal law.
(3) At the time a particular source or modification becomes a major stationary source or major modification solely by virtue of a relaxation in any enforceable limitation that was established after August 7, 1980, on the capacity of the source or modification otherwise to emit a pollutant, such as a restriction on hours of operation, then the requirements of this rule shall apply to the source or modification as though construction had not yet commenced on the source or modification.

(b) The following provisions apply with respect to any regulated NSR pollutant emitted from projects at an existing emissions unit at a major stationary source, other than projects at a clean unit or at a source with a PAL, in circumstances where there is a reasonable possibility, within the meaning of this subsection, that a project that is not a part of a major modification may result in a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant, and the owner or operator elects to use the method specified in section 1(rr)(2)(A) 1(pp)(2)(A) of this rule for calculating projected actual emissions:
(1) Before beginning actual construction of the project, the owner or operator shall document and maintain a record of the following information:
(A) A description of the project.
(B) Identification of any emissions unit whose emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant could be affected by the project.
(C) A description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for any regulated NSR pollutant, including the following:
(i) The baseline actual emissions.
(ii) The projected actual emissions.
(iii) The amount of emissions excluded under section 1(rr)(2)(A)(iii) 1(pp)(2)(A)(iii) of this rule. and
(iv) An explanation for why the amount was excluded, and any netting calculations, if applicable.
(2) If the emissions unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, before beginning actual construction, the owner or operator shall provide a copy of the information set out in subdivision (1) to the department. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require the owner or operator of the unit to obtain any determination from the department before beginning actual construction.
(3) The owner or operator shall:
(A) monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant that could increase as a result of the project and that is emitted by any emissions unit identified in subdivision (1)(B); and
(B) calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basis, for a period of five (5) years following resumption of regular operations after the change, or for a period of ten (10) years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project increases the design capacity of or the potential to emit that regulated NSR pollutant at the emissions unit.
(4) If the unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall submit a report to the department within sixty (60) days after the end of each year during which records must be generated under subdivision (3) setting out the unit's annual emissions during the calendar year that preceded submission of the report.
(5) If the unit is an existing unit other than an electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall submit a report to the department if the annual emissions, in tons per year, from the project identified in subdivision (1) exceed the baseline actual emissions, as documented and maintained under subdivision (1)(C), by a significant amount, as defined in section 1(xx) 1(ww) of this rule, for that regulated NSR pollutant and if the emissions differ from the preconstruction projection as documented and maintained under subdivision (1)(C). The report shall be submitted to the department within sixty (60) days after the end of the year. The report shall contain the following:
(A) The name, address, and telephone number of the major stationary source.
(B) The annual emissions as calculated under subdivision (3).
(C) The emissions calculated under the actual-to-projected actual test stated in section 2(d)(3) of this rule.
(D) Any other information that the owner or operator wishes to include in the report, such as an explanation as to why the emissions differ from the preconstruction projection.
(6) A reasonable possibility under this subsection occurs when the owner or operator calculates the project to result in either:
(A) a projected actual emissions increase of at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant emissions increase, as defined in section 1(xx) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant; or
(B) a projected actual emissions increase that, added to the amount of emissions excluded under section 1(pp)(2)(A)(iii) of this rule, sums to at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant emissions increase, as defined in section 1(xx) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant. For a project for which a reasonable possibility occurs only within the meaning of this clause, and not also within the meaning of clause (A), then subdivisions (2) through (5) do not apply to the project.

(c) The owner or operator of the source shall make the information required to be documented and maintained under subsection (b) available for review upon a request for inspection by the department. The general public may request this information from the department under 326 IAC 17.1.

SECTION 10. 326 IAC 2-3-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-1 Definitions

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3
Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17


Sec. 1. (a) The definitions in this section apply throughout this rule.

(b) "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit as determined in accordance with the following:
(1) In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive twenty-four (24) month period which that:
(A) precedes the particular date; and which
(B) is representative of normal source operation.
The commissioner shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.
(2) The commissioner may presume that source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the unit.
(3) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall equal the potential to emit of the unit on that date.
(4) The term shall not apply for calculating a significant emissions increase under section 2(c) of this rule or for establishing a PAL under 326 IAC 2-3.4. Instead, subsections (d) and (mm) (kk) shall apply for those purposes.

(c) "Allowable emissions" means the emissions rate of a source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source unless a source is subject to enforceable permit limits that restrict the operating rate or hours of operation, or both, and the most stringent of the following:
(1) The applicable standards as set forth in 40 CFR Part 60, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)*, and 40 CFR Part 61, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)*.
(2) The emissions limitation imposed by any rule in this title, including those with a future compliance date.
(3) The emissions rate specified as an enforceable permit condition, including those with a future compliance date.

(d) "Baseline actual emissions" means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as determined as follows:
(1) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The commissioner may allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. The baseline actual emissions shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the project.
(B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.
(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.
(D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequate information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by clause (B).
(2) For an existing emissions unit, other than an electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions the term means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten (10) year period immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project or the date a complete permit application is received by the department for a permit required under 326 IAC 2-3, except that the ten (10) year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990.

SECTION 11. 326 IAC 2-3-2 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-2 Applicability

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3
Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17


Sec. 2. (a) This rule applies to new major stationary sources or major modifications constructed in an area designated, as of the date of submittal of a complete application, as nonattainment in 326 IAC 1-4, for a pollutant for which the stationary source or modification is major.

(b) This rule applies to modifications of major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds VOC or oxides of nitrogen (unless a NOX waiver is in effect) in serious and severe ozone nonattainment areas as follows:
(1) A modification of a major stationary source with a de minimis increase in emissions shall be exempt from section 3 of this rule.
(2) A modification having an increase in emissions that is not de minimis to an existing major stationary source that does not have the potential to emit one hundred (100) tons or more of volatile organic compounds VOC or oxides of nitrogen (unless a NOX waiver is in effect) per year will not be subject to section 3(a) of this rule if the owner or operator of the source elects to internal offset the increase by a ratio of one and three-tenths (1.3) to one (1). If the owner or operator does not make the election or is unable to, section 3(a) of this rule applies, except that BACT shall be substituted for LAER required by section 3(a)(2) of this rule.
(3) A modification having an increase in emissions that is not de minimis to an existing major stationary source emitting or having the potential to emit one hundred (100) tons of volatile organic compounds VOC or oxides of nitrogen (unless a NOX waiver is in effect) or more per year will be subject to the requirements of section 3(a) of this rule, except that the owner or operator may elect to internal offset the increase at a ratio of one and three-tenths (1.3) to one (1) as a substitute for LAER required by section 3(a)(2) of this rule.

(c) The requirements of this rule will be applied in accordance with the following:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsections subsection (k) and (l) and consistent with the definition of major modification in section 1(z) 1(y) of this rule, a project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if it causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase except for VOC emissions in a severe or serious nonattainment area for ozone. The project is not a major modification if it does not cause a significant emissions increase. If the project causes a significant emissions increase, then the project is a major modification only if it also results in a significant net emissions increase.
(2) Prior to beginning actual construction, the procedure for calculating whether a significant emissions increase will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified, in accordance with this subsection, except for VOC emissions in a severe or serious nonattainment area for ozone. The procedure for calculating, before beginning actual construction, whether a significant net emissions increase will occur at the major stationary source is contained in section 1(dd) 1(cc) of this rule. Regardless of any preconstruction projections, a major modification results if the project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase.
(3) For an actual-to-projected-actual applicability test for projects that only involve existing emissions units, a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference between the projected actual emissions and the baseline actual emissions for each existing emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.
(4) For an actual-to-potential applicability test for projects that only involve construction of new emissions units, a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the difference between the potential to emit from each new emissions unit following completion of the project and the baseline actual emissions of these units before the project equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.
(5) For a project that will be constructed and operated at a clean unit without causing the emissions unit to lose its clean unit designation, no emissions increase is considered to occur.
(6) (5) For projects that involve a combination of emission units using the tests in subdivisions (3) through (5), and (4), a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant is projected to occur if the sum of the emissions increases for each emissions unit, using the method specified in subdivisions (3) through (5), and (4), as applicable, with respect to each emissions unit, for each type of emissions unit equals or exceeds the significant amount for that pollutant.

(d) At the time that a particular source or modification becomes a major stationary source or major modification solely by virtue of a relaxation in any enforceable limitation that was established after August 7, 1980, on the capacity of the source or modification otherwise to emit a pollutant, such as a restriction on hours of operation, then this rule applies to the source or modification as though construction had not yet commenced on the source or modification.

(e) In the case of an area that has been redesignated nonattainment, any source that would not have been required to submit a permit application under 326 IAC 2-2 concerning the prevention of significant deterioration will not be subject to this rule if construction commences within eighteen (18) months of the area's redesignation.

(f) Major stationary sources or major modifications that would locate in any area designated as attainment or unclassifiable in the state and would exceed the following significant impact levels at any locality, for any pollutant that is designated as nonattainment, must meet the requirements specified in section 3(a)(1) through 3(a)(3) of this rule. All values are expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3):
Pollutant  Annual  24-hour  8-hour  3-hour  1-hour 
Sulfur dioxide  25 
Total suspended particulates 
PM10 
Nitrous oxides 
Carbon monoxide  500  2,000 

(g) This rule does not apply to a source or modification, other than a source of volatile organic compounds VOC or oxides of nitrogen (unless a NOX waiver is in effect) in a serious or severe ozone nonattainment area or a source of PM10 in a serious PM10 area, that would be a major stationary source or major modification only if fugitive emissions, to the extent quantifiable, are considered in calculating the potential to emit of the stationary source or modification and the source does not belong to any of the following categories:
(1) Coal cleaning plants (with thermal driers).
(2) Kraft pulp mills.
(3) Portland cement plants.
(4) Primary zinc smelters.
(5) Iron and steel mill plants.
(6) Primary aluminum ore reduction plants.
(7) Primary copper smelters.
(8) Municipal incinerators capable of charging more than two hundred fifty (250) tons of refuse per day.
(9) Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, and nitric acid plants.
(10) Petroleum refineries.
(11) Lime plants.
(12) Phosphate rock processing plants.
(13) Coke oven batteries.
(14) Sulfur recovery plants.
(15) Carbon black plants (furnace process).
(16) Primary lead smelters.
(17) Fuel conversion plants.
(18) Sintering plants.
(19) Secondary metal production plants.
(20) Chemical process plants.
(21) Fossil-fuel boilers (or combinations thereof) totaling more than two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) British thermal units per hour heat input.
(22) Petroleum storage and transfer unit with a storage capacity exceeding three hundred thousand (300,000) barrels.
(23) Taconite ore processing plants.
(24) Glass fiber processing plants.
(25) Charcoal production plants.
(26) Fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) British thermal units per hour heat input.
(27) Any other stationary source category which, that, as of August 7, 1980, is being regulated under Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act. CAA.

(h) For purposes of this rule, secondary emissions from a source need not be considered in determining whether the source would qualify as a major source. If a source is subject to this rule on the basis of the direct emissions from the source, the applicable conditions must also be met for secondary emissions. The secondary emissions may be exempt from the requirements specified in section 3(a)(2) through 3(a)(3) of this rule.

(i) Hazardous air pollutants HAPs listed in and regulated by 326 IAC 14-1 are not exempt from this rule.

(j) The installation, operation, cessation, or removal of temporary clean coal technology demonstration projects funded under the Department of Energy-Clean Coal Technology Appropriations may be exempt from the requirements of section 3 of this rule. To qualify for this exemption, the project must:
(1) be at an existing facility;
(2) operate for no not more than five (5) years; and
(3) comply with all other applicable rules for the area.

(k) For any major stationary source operating under a PAL for a regulated NSR pollutant, the major stationary source shall comply with requirements under 326 IAC 2-3.4.

(l) An owner or operator undertaking a PCP shall comply with the requirements under 326 IAC 2-3.3.

(m) (l) The following specific provisions apply with respect to any regulated NSR pollutant emitted from projects at existing emissions units at a major stationary source, other than projects at a clean unit or at a source with a PAL, in circumstances where there is a reasonable possibility, within the meaning of this subsection, that a project that is not a part of a major modification may result in a significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant, and the owner or operator elects to use the method specified in section 1(mm)(2)(A) 1(kk)(2)(A) of this rule for calculating projected actual emissions:
(1) Before beginning actual construction of the project, the owner or operator shall document and maintain a record of the following information:
(A) A description of the project.
(B) Identification of the emissions units whose emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant could be affected by the project.
(C) A description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for any regulated NSR pollutant, including the following:
(i) The baseline actual emissions.
(ii) The projected actual emissions.
(iii) The amount of emissions excluded under section 1(mm)(2)(A)(3) 1(kk)(2)(A)(iii) of this rule and an explanation for why the amount was excluded. and
(iv) Any netting calculations, if applicable.
(2) If the emissions unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, before beginning actual construction, the owner or operator shall provide a copy of the information set out in subdivision (1) to the department. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require the owner or operator of the unit to obtain any determination from the department before beginning actual construction.
(3) The owner or operator shall:
(A) monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant that could increase as a result of the project and that is emitted by any emissions units identified in subdivision (1)(B); and
(B) calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basis, for a period of five (5) years following resumption of regular operations after the change, or for a period of ten (10) years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project increases the design capacity or potential to emit of that regulated NSR pollutant at the emissions unit.
(4) If the unit is an existing electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall submit a report to the department within sixty (60) days after the end of each year during which records must be generated under subdivision (3) setting out the unit's annual emissions during the year that preceded submission of the report.
(5) If the unit is an existing unit other than an electric utility steam generating unit, the owner or operator shall submit a report to the department if the annual emissions, in tons per year, from the project identified in subdivision (1), exceed the baseline actual emissions, as documented and maintained under subdivision (1)(C), by a significant amount for that regulated NSR pollutant, and if the emissions differ from the preconstruction projection as documented and maintained under subdivision (1)(C). The report shall be submitted to the department within sixty (60) days after the end of the year. The report shall contain the following:
(A) The name, address, and telephone number of the major stationary source.
(B) The annual emissions as calculated under subdivision (3).
(C) The emissions calculated under the actual to projected actual test stated in subsection (c)(3).
(D) Any other information that the owner or operator wishes to include in the report.
(6) A reasonable possibility under this subsection occurs when the owner or operator calculates the project to result in either:
(A) a projected actual emissions increase of at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant emissions increase, as defined in section 1(qq) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant; or
(B) a projected actual emissions increase that, added to the amount of emissions excluded under section 1(kk)(2)(A)(iii), sums to at least fifty percent (50%) of the amount that is a significant emissions increase, as defined in section 1(qq) of this rule, without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase, for the regulated NSR pollutant. For a project for which a reasonable possibility occurs only within the meaning of this clause, and not also within the meaning of clause (A), then subdivisions (2) through (5) do not apply to the project.
(6) (7) The owner or operator of the source shall make the information required to be documented and maintained under subdivisions (1) through (5) available for review upon a request for inspection by the department. The general public may request this information from the department under 326 IAC 17.1.

SECTION 12. 326 IAC 2-3-3 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

326 IAC 2-3-3 Applicable requirements

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3
Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17


Sec. 3. (a) Prior to the issuance of a construction permit to a source subject to this rule, the applicant shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) The proposed major new source or major modification shall demonstrate that the source will meet all applicable requirements of this title, any applicable new source performance standard in 40 CFR Part 60*, or any national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants HAPs in 40 CFR Part 61*. If the commissioner determines that the proposed major new source cannot meet the applicable emission requirements, the permit to construct will be denied.
(2) The applicant will apply emission limitation devices or techniques to the proposed construction or modification such that the LAER for the applicable pollutant will be achieved.
(3) The applicant shall either demonstrate that:
(A) all existing major sources owned or operated by the applicant in the state are in compliance with all applicable emission limitations and standards contained in the Clean Air Act CAA and in this title; or demonstrate that
(B) they are in compliance with a federally enforceable compliance schedule requiring compliance as expeditiously as practicable.
(4) The applicant shall submit an analysis of alternative sites, sizes, production processes, and environmental control techniques for the proposed source that demonstrates that benefits of the proposed source significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its location, construction, or modification.
(5) Emissions resulting from the proposed construction or modification shall be offset by a reduction in actual emissions of the same pollutant from an existing source or combination of existing sources. The emission offset shall be such that there will be reasonable further progress toward attainment of the applicable ambient air quality standards as follows:
(A) Greater than one-for-one unless otherwise specified.
(B) For ozone nonattainment areas, the following table shall determine the minimum offset ratio requirements for major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds: VOC or oxides of nitrogen (unless a NOX waiver is in effect):
Ozone Classification  Minimum Offset Requirements 
Marginal  1.1 to 1 
Moderate  1.15 to 1 
Serious  1.2 to 1 
Severe  1.3 to 1 
(6) The total tonnage of increased emissions, in tons per year, resulting from a major modification that must be offset in accordance with Section 173 of the CAA shall be determined by summing the difference between the allowable emissions after the modification and the actual emissions before the modification for each emissions unit.
(7) The applicant shall obtain the necessary preconstruction approvals and shall meet all the permit requirements specified in 326 IAC 2-5.1 or 326 IAC 2-7, as applicable.
(8) Approval to construct shall not relieve any owner or operator of the responsibility to comply fully with an applicable provision of the state implementation plan SIP and any other requirements under local, state, or federal law.

(b) The following provisions shall apply to all emission offset evaluations:
(1) Emission offsets shall be determined on a tons per year and, whenever possible, a pounds per hour basis when all facilities requiring offset involved in the emission offset calculations are operating at their maximum potential or allowed production rate. When offsets are calculated on a tons per year basis, the baseline emissions for existing sources providing the offsets shall be calculated using the allowed or actual annual operating hours, whichever is less.
(2) The baseline for determining credit for emission offsets will be the emission limitations or actual emissions, whichever is lower, in effect at the time the application to construct or modify a source is filed. Credit for emission offset purposes may be allowable for existing control that goes beyond that required by source-specific emission limitations contained in this title.
(3) In cases where the applicable rule under this title does not contain an emission limitation for a source or source category, the emission offset baseline involving the sources shall be the actual emissions determined at their maximum expected or allowable production rate.
(4) In cases where emission limitations for existing sources allow greater emissions than the potential to emit of the source, emission offset credit shall only be allowed for emissions controlled below the potential to emit.
(5) A source may receive offset credit from emission reductions achieved by shutting down an existing source or permanently curtailing production or operating hours below baseline levels if the reductions are permanent, quantifiable, and federally enforceable, as follows:
(A) If the area has an attainment plan approved by the U.S. EPA, the shutdown or curtailment is creditable only if it occurred on or after the date of the most recent emissions inventory or attainment demonstration. However, in no event may credit be given for shutdowns that occurred prior to August 7, 1977. For the purposes of this clause, the department may choose to consider a prior shutdown or curtailment to have occurred after the date of its most recent emissions inventory if the inventory explicitly includes, as current existing emissions, the emissions from such the previously shutdown or curtailed sources.
(B) The reductions may be credited in the absence of an approved attainment demonstration only if the:
(i) the shutdown or curtailment occurred on or after the date the new source permit application is filed; or
(ii) the applicant can establish that the proposed new source is a replacement for the shutdown or curtailed source and the cutoff date provisions in clause (A) are observed.
(6) Emission offset credit involving an existing fuel combustion source will be based on the allowable emissions under other rules of this title for the type of fuel being burned at the time the new source application is filed. If the existing source commits to switch to a cleaner fuel at some future date, emission offset credit based on the allowable emissions for the fuels involved is acceptable, provided the permit is conditioned to require the use of a specific alternative control measure that would achieve the same degree of emission reduction should the source switch back to a dirtier fuel at some later date. The commissioner will grant emission offset credit for fuel switching only after ensuring that adequate supplies of the new fuel are available at least for the next ten (10) years.
(7) In the case of volatile organic compound VOC emissions, no emission offset credit may be allowed for replacing one (1) hydrocarbon compound with another of lesser reactivity, except for those compounds defined as nonphotochemically reactive hydrocarbons in 326 IAC 1-2-48.
(8) No emission reduction may be approved to offset emissions that cannot be federally enforced. Offsetting emissions shall be considered federally enforceable if the reduction is included as a condition in the applicable permit as specified in 326 IAC 2-5.1 or 326 IAC 2-7 if issued under a federally-approved air permit program.
(9) Emission reductions required under any other rule adopted by the board shall not be creditable as emission reductions and therefore cannot be used for emission offsets.
(10) Incidental emission reductions that are not otherwise required by any other rule adopted by the board shall be creditable as emission reductions for emission offsets if the emission reductions meet all of the other requirements for offsets.
(11) A source may offset by alternative or innovative means emission increases from rocket engine or motor firing and cleaning related to the firing at an existing or modified major source that tests rocket engines or motors under the following conditions:
(A) Any modification proposed is solely for the purpose of expanding the testing of rocket engines or motors at an existing source that is permitted to test the engines on November 15, 1990.
(B) The source demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department that:
(i) it has used all reasonable means to obtain and utilize offsets, as determined on an annual basis, for the emissions increases beyond allowable levels;
(ii) all available offsets are being used; and
(iii) sufficient offsets are not available to the source.
(C) The source has obtained a written finding from:
(i) the Department of Defense;
(ii) the Department of Transportation;
(iii) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; or
(iv) other another appropriate federal agency;
that the testing of rocket motors or engines at the facility is required for a program essential to the national security.
(D) The source will comply with an alternative measure, imposed by the department, designed to offset any emission increases beyond permitted levels not directly offset by the source.
(12) Decreases in actual emissions resulting from the installation of add-on control technology or application of pollution prevention measures that were relied upon in designating an emissions unit as a clean unit or a project as a PCP cannot be used as offsets.
(13) Decreases in actual emissions occurring at a clean unit cannot be used as offsets except as provided in 326 IAC 2-3.2-1(h) and 326 IAC 2-3.2-2(j). Decreases in actual emissions occurring at a PCP cannot be used as offsets except as provided in 326 IAC 2-3.3-1(g)(4).
(14) (12) Credit for an emissions reduction can be claimed to the extent that the department has not relied on it the emission reduction credit in:
(A) issuing any permit under regulations approved pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart I*; or
(B) a demonstration for attainment or reasonable further progress.
