54. NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR)-AQ-2017-010 Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for December 11, 2019 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise the MCAQD’s New Source Review (NSR) rules in Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulation I-General Provisions and Regulation II-Permits and Fees - Rule 100 (General Provisions and Definitions), Rule 200 (Permit Requirements), Rule 210 (Title V Permit Provisions), Rule 220 (Non-Title V Permit Provisions), Rule 230 (General Permits), Rule 240 (Federal Major New Source Review (NSR)) and Rule 241 (Minor New Source Review (NSR)) - and to submit the revised rules as a revision to the Arizona SIP. Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed amendments to the MCAQD’s NSR rules and to approve submission of the amended rules as a revision to the Arizona SIP. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective December 11, 2019. The MCAQD is proposing to revise the MCAQD’s NSR rules and is proposing to submit the revised rules as a revision to the Arizona SIP. NSR is a long-standing Clean Air Act permitting program that requires businesses to get an air pollution control permit before they start construction or make major modifications to their business. NSR must ensure that air quality is not significantly degraded from the addition of new or modified businesses, while also providing flexibility to businesses to improve or modernize their operations. Air quality permits must include an air quality analysis to demonstrate that new emissions emitted from the business will not cause or contribute to a violation of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The purpose of this rulemaking is to remedy the following eight deficiencies identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the MCAQD’s NSR rules: (1) Rule 100, Definitions of “PM2.5” and “PM10”; (2) Rule 200, Good engineering practice (GEP) stack height provisions; (3) Rule 200, Agricultural equipment exemption demonstration; (4) Rule 220, Sections 404.3(e) and (f) (Procedures for Certain Changes that do not Require a Non-Title V Permit); (5) Rule 200, Section 403.2 (Permit Renewal and Expiration); (6) Rules 100 and 200 Appendix G references; (7) Rules 100 and 200 Arizona Testing Manual references and (8) Rule 100 Definitions to be removed from the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) justifications. In addition to remedying the EPA identified deficiencies, the MCAQD is proposing revisions to address Stakeholder and Staff comments and EPA’s recommended clarifications. Permit fees are not changing due to this action. (C-85-20-008-M-00)
