Emission Limitations and
Standards.
| (a) |
General
Provisions.
| 1. |
No person owning,
leasing or controlling the operation of any air contaminant sources shall
willfully, negligently or through failure to provide necessary equipment or
facilities or to take necessary precautions, cause, permit, or allow the
emission from said air contamination source or sources of such quantities of
air contaminants as will cause, or tend to cause, by themselves or in
conjunction with other air contaminants a condition of air pollution in
quantities or characteristics or of a duration which is injurious or which
unreasonably interferes with the enjoyment of life or use of property in such
area of the State as is affected thereby. Complying with any of the other
paragraphs of these rules and regulations or any subparagraphs thereof, shall
in no way exempt a person from this provision. |
| 2. |
In cases where more than one paragraph of
these regulations applies, the paragraph allowing the least emission of air
contaminants to the atmosphere shall prevail. |
| 3. |
Notwithstanding any other emission
limitation or other requirement provided in the regulations, more stringent
emission limitations or other requirements may be required of a facility as
deemed necessary by the Director to:
| (i) |
meet
any existing Federal laws or regulations; or |
| (ii) |
safeguard the public health, safety and
welfare of the people of the State of Georgia. |
|
| 4. |
Notwithstanding any other requirement of
this Chapter, in no event shall that part of a stack which came into existence
after December 31, 1970, which exceeds good engineering practice stack height
or any other dispersion technique, be taken into account for the purpose of
determining the degree of emission limitations required for control of any
pollutant for which there is an ambient air standard established under the Act
of the Federal Act. The terms and definitions of "dispersion techniques", "good
engineering practice (GEP)", "nearby" and "excessive concentration" are those
definitions found in 40 CFR
51.100(hh), (ii), (jj) and
(kk) respectively. |
| 5. |
If the Director finds, after notice and
opportunity for public hearing that a particular instance of violation or
noncompliance by a source, owner, or operator, with any emission limitation or
standard or other requirement under the Act, is de minimis (as defined pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. Section
7420 as amended) in nature, and duration, he
may, as allowed by the Act and the Federal Act, exempt such source, owner or
operator from the noncompliance penalties provided in Section 22 of the
Act. |

Emissions
Bubbles.
| (i) |
With respect to the emissions
standards and limitations contained in this Chapter 391-3-1, as such
requirements are applied to more than one process or piece of equipment at a
source or sources, the Director may allow to the extent consistent with the Act
and with the Federal Act under such conditions as he deems appropriate,
emissions bubbles provided that:
| (I) |
Such
emissions bubbles will not interfere with the attainment and maintenance of
ambient air quality standards as expeditiously as practical and does not result
in any delay in compliance by any source beyond applicable deadline dates;
and |
| (II) |
Such emissions bubbles are
equivalent in pollution reduction, enforceability, and air quality impact to
those individual process or equipment emission limits of State or federal
requirements applicable at the time of the bubble; and |
| (III) |
Such emissions bubbles are consistent
and in full compliance with the requirements of
40 CFR
52.21(PSD), 40 CFR 60 (New
Source Performance Standards) and 40 CFR 61 (NESHAPS); and |
| (IV) |
All modeling utilized in evaluating the
air quality impact of emissions bubbles shall be done in accordance with
modeling procedures acceptable to the Division. |
|
| (ii) |
Emissions bubbles involving different
pollutants, types, temporary reductions, and increases of hazardous air
pollutants are prohibited. |
| (iii) |
The affected source or facility which proposes the use of a bubble shall have
the burden of demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Director, compliance
with the requirements of this paragraph (2)(a)8. |
| (iv) |
For the purpose of this paragraph
(2)(a)8. emissions bubbles let plants decrease pollution controls at one or
more emission points in exchange for compensating increases in control at other
emission points. |
|
| 10. |
At all times,
including periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, any person owning,
leasing or controlling the operation of a stationary source shall maintain and
operate such source, including associated air pollution control equipment, in a
manner consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing
emissions. Determination of whether acceptable operating and maintenance
procedures are being used will be based on any information available to the
Division which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results,
observations of the opacity or other characteristic of emissions, review of
operating and maintenance procedures or records, and inspection or surveillance
of the source. |

been incorporated into a federally enforceable operating permit. Any
application to incorporate such work practice standards shall include, at a
minimum, the following considerations:
| A. |
The
request is specific to the source and control device, if applicable; |
| B. |
Demonstration that compliance with the
emissions limitation during startup or shutdown is infeasible, impracticable or
unsafe; |
| C. |
The proposed alternative
work practice standard is designed to minimize emissions during startup or
shutdown periods, to the extent practicable; |
| D. |
The proposed alternative work practice
standard should require that the source is operated in a manner consistent with
good practice for minimizing emissions through planning, design, and operating
procedures; and |
| E. |
The proposed
alternative work practice standard includes provisions for monitoring and/or
recordkeeping of the operator's actions during startup and shutdown to ensure
practical enforceability of the proposed work practices. |
| F. |
Such requests shall be made through the
application for a permit, permit modification, or permit renewal pursuant to
the permit application requirements in
391-3-1-.03. The public notice
requirements specified in
391-3-1-.03(2)(i) shall be followed
for all proposed alternative work practice standards in non-Title V permits.
Public notice requirements specified in
391-3-1-.03(10)(e)8. and
391-3-1-.03(10)(f)1. shall be
followed for all proposed alternative work practice standards in Title V
permits. |

components in bake oven(s); |
| (viii) |
"Final repair" means the operations performed and coating(s) applied to
completely-assembled motor vehicles or to parts that are not yet on a
completely assembled vehicle to correct damage or imperfections in the coating.
The curing of the coatings applied in these operations is accomplished at a
lower temperature than that used for curing primer-surfacer and topcoat. This
lower temperature cure avoids the need to send parts that are not yet on a
completely assembled vehicle through the same type of curing process used for
primer-surfacer and topcoat and is necessary to protect heat sensitive
components on completely assembled vehicles. |
| (ix) |

subsequent coatings (e.g., primer-surfacer). The primary purpose of automobile
and light-duty truck sealer is to fill body joints completely so that there is
no intrusion of water, gases or corrosive materials into the passenger area of
the body compartment. Such materials are also referred to as sealant, sealant
primer, or caulk. |
| (xviii) |
