Results for “40 CFR Part 60”
- StateSouth Dakota air permitsSouth Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR). South Dakota DANR's Air Quality Program issues minor source operating permits (ARSD 74:36:04), Title V (Part 70) operating permits, general permits for portable and stationary sources (asphalt plants, rock crushers, concrete plants, grain elevators), and PSD pre-construction permits (ARSD 74:36:09, adopting 40 CFR 52.21). South Dakota is in attainment, so nonattainment NSR (ARSD 74:36:10) does not currently apply. The Rapid City area has PM10 Natural Events Action Plan requirements, including general permits for construction and continuous activities on state property. EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateAlaska air permitsAlaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Alaska DEC's Air Permit Program issues construction permits (major sources), minor source specific permits, general permits for common source types, Owner Requested Limits (ORL), Pre-Approved Emission Limits (PAEL), and Title V operating permits under 18 AAC 50 and AS 46.14.
- StateWashington air permitsWashington State Department of Ecology. Washington splits air permitting among Ecology, seven local clean air agencies, EFSEC (large energy facilities), and EPA Region 10 (Indian Country and the Outer Continental Shelf). Ecology issues permits in counties without a local agency and for pulp mills, aluminum mills, and Hanford statewide, and it issues all PSD permits not under EFSEC, EPA, or tribal jurisdiction. Before installing or modifying a source, a business needs a Notice of Construction (NOC) order of approval unless exempt under WAC 173-400-110; toxic air pollutant emitters may need a health impact assessment (WAC 173-460). General orders cover common source types. Major sources need an Air Operating Permit (Title V, WAC 173-401). Most permitted industrial sources must also join the registration program and pay annual fees.
- StateNorth Dakota air permitsNorth Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ). North Dakota uses a two-step system: a Permit to Construct (PTC) before building or modifying a source in a designated category (NDAC 33.1-15-14), then a Permit to Operate (PTO) issued after DEQ inspects the facility. Sources are classed as true minor, synthetic minor (federally enforceable limits), Title V major, and PSD major. North Dakota is in attainment for all criteria pollutants, so major preconstruction review is PSD. Oil and gas production facilities use a General Permit (GP-OG) filed through CERIS-ND. Applications and reports are filed electronically through CERIS-ND. Indian country is outside the GP-OG and NDDEQ's jurisdiction.
- StateIllinois air permitsIllinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). Illinois EPA requires a construction permit before building an emission unit or air pollution control equipment unless an exemption applies, and an operating permit to operate. Operating permit options depend on size: Registration of Smaller Sources (ROSS) for very small sources, lifetime state operating permits, general permits for true minor sources, FESOPs for synthetic minors, and CAAPP (Illinois's Title V program) for major sources. PSD and nonattainment NSR apply to major projects.
- StateMichigan air permitsMichigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). Michigan requires a Permit to Install (PTI) before installing, relocating, modifying, or reconstructing equipment that emits air contaminants (R 336.1201), unless an exemption in Part 2 applies. PTIs are free and do not expire. General PTIs exist for a few categories. Major sources need a Renewable Operating Permit (ROP), Michigan's Title V program (R 336.1210-1218). Part 18 (PSD) mirrors 40 CFR 52.21 and Part 19 covers nonattainment NSR.
- StateNew York air permitsNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). NYSDEC issues air permits and registrations under 6 NYCRR Part 201: Air Facility Registrations (Subpart 201-4) for smaller non-major facilities, State Facility Permits (Subpart 201-5) for larger non-major facilities using enforceable limits, and Title V Facility Permits (Subpart 201-6) for major and Acid Rain sources. Major projects need nonattainment NSR under Part 231 or federal PSD under 40 CFR 52.21. Major source thresholds vary by location: the New York City metropolitan severe ozone nonattainment area has the lowest NOx/VOC thresholds. Permit processing follows the Uniform Procedures Act (Part 621). EPA Region 2 is the permitting authority in the eight Tribal Nations.
- StateMassachusetts air permitsMassachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). MassDEP requires a Plan Approval before constructing or modifying facilities that emit air contaminants (310 CMR 7.02), as a Limited Plan Application (LPA) or Comprehensive Plan Application (CPA) depending on size, unless exempt. Alternatives include Permit-by-Rule (310 CMR 7.03) and the mandatory Environmental Results Program (ERP, 310 CMR 7.26) for certain sectors. All new units must meet BACT (or LAER where nonattainment NSR applies). Major sources need a Title V Operating Permit under 310 CMR 7.00 Appendix C. MassDEP administers PSD by EPA delegation under 40 CFR 52.21.
- StateCalifornia air permitsCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) with 35 local air districts. California's 35 local air districts are the primary agencies that review and issue stationary source air permits. CARB plays an oversight role and generally does not issue preconstruction or operating permits (Cal. Health & Safety Code §§ 39620, 41500). Districts issue an Authority to Construct (ATC) before building or modifying equipment and a Permit to Operate (PTO) once ATC requirements are met; they also run New Source Review and EPA-approved Title V programs. CARB directly regulates oil and gas methane emissions through a statewide regulation enforced with districts.
- StateVirginia air permitsVirginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Virginia DEQ issues air permits under 9VAC5-80 (Permits for Stationary Sources). New sources and projects above the exemption levels in 9VAC5-80-1105 need a minor NSR permit (Article 6), or a state major permit for Title V major facilities that are not PSD. Major sources need PSD (Article 8) in attainment areas or nonattainment NSR (Article 9; Northern Virginia ozone area). Case-by-case MACT is under Article 7. State Operating Permits (Article 5) are elective and usually create synthetic minor limits. Title V permits are under Article 1. General permits cover nonmetallic mineral processing, biomass pilot test facilities, voluntary demand response generators, and emergency generators. There are no local air permitting agencies.
- StateKansas air permitsKansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Kansas requires a state construction permit (K.A.R. 28-19-300(a)) or, below permit thresholds, a construction approval (28-19-300(b)) before beginning actual construction or modification. Operating permits are Class I (Kansas's Title V permit) or Class II (federally enforceable limits, including permits-by-rule). PSD is implemented under K.A.R. 28-19-350, adopting portions of 40 CFR 52.21. All applications go through KEIMS.
- StateLouisiana air permitsLouisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). In Louisiana any source that emits or could emit an air contaminant generally needs an air permit unless an exception applies. Very small facilities are excused by statute (Act 547) or can use the small source exemption (LAC 33:III.501.B.4); insignificant activities are listed in LAC 33:III.501.B.5. Other non-Part 70 facilities get state minor source permits under LAC 33:III.503, or coverage under minor source general permits such as the one for crude oil and natural gas production. Major sources need Part 70 (Title V) permits under LAC 33:III.507, plus PSD or nonattainment NSR for major projects.
- StateMaine air permitsMaine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Maine issues air emission licenses. Minor sources and new source review (new equipment or modifications) are licensed under Chapter 115; major sources also need a Part 70 (Title V) license under Chapter 140. All of Maine is in the Ozone Transport Region, which lowers the VOC major source threshold (see the permit entries). New sources and minor and major modifications require a BACT analysis. General permits cover rock crushers and concrete batch plants.
- StateWisconsin air permitsWisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Wisconsin DNR requires a construction permit before anyone builds, reconstructs, modifies, relocates or replaces an air pollution source. Minor sources are covered by NR 406, PSD by NR 405, and nonattainment NSR by NR 408. Facilities also need an operation permit (NR 407) unless they are exempt. The construction exemptions in NR 406.04 are judged project by project. The operation exemptions in NR 407.03 are judged for the whole facility. Streamlined options include registration operation permits Types A, B, C and G, and general permits for hot mix asphalt plants and rock crushing. Major sources need a Title V (Part 70) permit. Non-Title V operation permits issued after December 2015 generally do not expire. Fees are set in NR 410. Parts of southeastern Wisconsin are ozone nonattainment areas.
- StateVermont air permitsVermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Vermont DEC's Air Quality & Climate Division issues a Permit to Construct before construction of a new or modified air contaminant source (sources listed in §5-401 of the Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations; Subchapter V), and a Permit to Operate for facilities above the potential-emissions level in Subchapter X (see the Permit to Operate entry), which incorporates Title V. Most permits are combined Permits to Construct and Operate. Vermont implements federal NSR/PSD and Title V within its state program, so the state permit is the only construction or operating permit needed. DEC publishes source category guidance (boilers, engines, evaporators, breweries, quarries, asphalt, coating, and others). There are no local air agencies.
- StateNew Hampshire air permitsNew Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). NHDES is the sole permitting authority statewide (no local air agencies). New or modified sources above the device/source thresholds in Env-A 600 need a Temporary Permit (construction, up to 18 months), followed by a State Permit to Operate (up to 5 years) or a Title V Operating Permit (5 years). Alternatives include General State Permits for emergency engines and Permit-by-Notification for rock crushers. Although New Hampshire is in attainment for ozone, it is in the Northeast Ozone Transport Region, so nonattainment NSR applies to major NOx and VOC sources (Env-A 618); PSD is under Env-A 619.
- StateOregon air permitsOregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Oregon DEQ issues Air Contaminant Discharge Permits (ACDPs) for minor sources and for new major sources/major modifications, plus Title V operating permits for major sources. Which ACDP applies depends on the source category in the Table of Activities and Sources (OAR 340-216-8010, Table 1): Part A sources qualify for a Basic ACDP, Part B for a General, Simple, or Standard ACDP, and Part C must get a Standard ACDP. Permits carry Plant Site Emission Limits (PSELs) compared against Significant Emission Rates (SERs). Many sources need a Notice of Construction even without a permit (OAR Division 210), and every permit needs a Land Use Compatibility Statement. Cleaner Air Oregon adds facility risk assessment for toxic air contaminants. LRAPA permits in Lane County; EPA Region 10 permits in Indian Country and on the Outer Continental Shelf.
- StateNevada air permitsNevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). NDEP's Bureau of Air Pollution Control issues Air Quality Operating Permits (AQOPs) statewide except in Clark County, Washoe County, and Indian Country (EPA Region 9). Nevada uses a class system: Class I for major sources (including Title V, PSD, and major MACT sources) and Class II for smaller sources above listed pollutant levels, plus Class II general permits, Surface Area Disturbance (SAD) permits, Change of Location Approvals (COLAs) for portable equipment, and Nevada Mercury Control Program permits for thermal units that emit mercury. New Class I sources obtain an Operating Permit to Construct (OPTC).
- StateUtah air permitsUtah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Utah DAQ requires an Approval Order (AO) before starting construction or operation of emitting equipment, obtained by filing a Notice of Intent under R307-401 (New Source Review section). Small sources may be exempt (R307-401-9), and permits by rule are available for listed emission units (R307-431) and source categories (R307-432). Oil and gas sources on state-jurisdiction lands register once under R307-505 and follow the R307-500 series oil and gas rules. Major sources need nonattainment/maintenance area review (R307-403) or PSD (R307-405) and a Title V operating permit (R307-415). EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateMissouri air permitsMissouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Missouri DNR issues air permits statewide (EPA's Missouri page lists no local permitting agencies and no federally recognized tribes). Construction permits under 10 CSR 10-6.060 are chosen by existing and project potential emissions: de minimis, minor, general, permits-by-rule, portable relocation, temporary/pilot, major NSR (nonattainment), PSD, and major HAP permits. Exemptions are in 10 CSR 10-6.061. Operating permits under 10 CSR 10-6.065 are Intermediate (synthetic minor) or Part 70.
- StateOklahoma air permitsOklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Oklahoma DEQ's Air Quality Division issues permits under OAC 252:100 Subchapter 7 (minor facilities) and Subchapter 8 (Part 70 and major source construction permits), with public participation tiers set by OAC 252:4-7. Options include permit-exempt and de minimis facilities, Permits by Rule (including a Minor Oil and Natural Gas PBR), general permits (including the Oil & Gas Facilities GP), individual minor source construction and operating permits (Tier I), major source/Part 70 permits (Tier II), and PSD permits (Tier III). Minor NSR allows some construction after an administratively complete application, at the applicant's risk.
- StateHawaii air permitsHawaii State Department of Health (DOH). Hawaii DOH's Clean Air Branch requires an Air Pollution Control Permit before constructing, reconstructing, modifying, or operating a stationary air pollution source or control equipment, except as provided in HAR 11-60.1-62 and 11-60.1-82. Permits are either Covered Source Permits (major sources and sources subject to federal NSPS, NESHAP, or PSD; Hawaii's Title V-equivalent program) or Noncovered Source Permits (all other sources). Both have initial, renewal, temporary, general, modification, and transfer actions. Agricultural burning permits are also issued.
- StateFlorida air permitsFlorida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Florida DEP requires an air construction permit before building or modifying non-exempt emissions units, and an air operation permit to operate. Many small sources qualify for categorical, conditional, or generic exemptions (Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C.) or for one of the air general permits (Rule 62-210.310). Minor construction permits are processed by DEP districts or approved local programs; PSD, nonattainment NSR, and power plant permits are processed by the Division. Operation permits are state-only (natural or synthetic minor), federally enforceable state operation permits (FESOP), or Title V (Chapter 62-213).
