PREFACE TO THE GUIDE The MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide is a three-part document intended to help you learn whether you need an air emission permit. If you do need one, the Guide will help you fill out an application.
Part 1: Defining Your Facility shows how to describe your equipment and quantify its emissions. After defining your facility, you may or may not need to apply for a permit. Part 2: Determining Compliance tells you how to prepare the compliance portion of your air emission permit application. Part 3: Making Changes explains what air quality rules and regulations apply when making changes at your facility and how the change affects your air emission permit. If you have not already done so, you may find it helpful to read MPCA's booklet, Getting Started, as a first step. It introduces you to Minnesota's air quality permit program and offers an overview of the permit application process. Please take your time going through each part of the Guide. Do not expect to read all three parts in one day. You will find some things that do not apply to your facility. For this reason, you probably will not need to read every section in detail. To help you define key terms, each part of the Guide contains a glossary and an acronym list. A case study at the end of each part of the Guide provides examples of how a fictitious facility, Blue Ox Woodworks, completed an air emission permit application. To answer your questions for help, phone numbers are given in the Focus section of each part. In addition, ordering information is offered in the Appendix of Part 1 should you want copies of the air quality rules and regulations. IMPORTANT NOTE: The MPCA has tried to make the Air Quality Permits Guide as complete as possible, however, it is not a substitute for the rules and regulations themselves. The Guide will be revised periodically, but it will not be updated each time a specific requirement is revised or added. It is your responsibility to find out which requirements apply to your facility.

1.0 WHAT IS A PERMIT? A permit is a regulatory document that is legally enforceable. An air emission permit spells out the process equipment and air pollution control equipment you have and the rules or regulations that apply to your facility. Your air emission permit also includes operational requirements, emission limits, and monitoring requirements for your facility. A Part 70 permit is a type of air emission permit that the MPCA issues to implement certain federal requirements. "Part 70" is a section in the Code of Federal Regulations for the Protection of the Environment. Because of the requirements set by the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, all states are now required to have Part 70 permit programs. Your facility is a Part 70 source if its potential to emit air pollutants meets or exceeds specific emission thresholds. A Part 70 permit is valid for five years, then it must be renewed. A state permit is issued to facilities that have the potential to emit smaller amounts of air pollutants than Part 70 sources. State permits generally do not expire. Requirements for showing compliance under state permits may be less extensive than for Part 70 permits. You may also qualify for a general permit. General permits cover a group of similar facilities, such as asphalt plants or construction aggregate producers. A general permit requires less individual processing by the MPCA than a permit developed to meet unique requirements for your facility. Because of this, a general permit may be quicker to obtain. A general permit can be written as either a state permit or a Part 70 permit. A fourth type of permit is a registration permit. Registration permits are simple, one-page permits for some facilities whose actual emissions are low, and which are not subject to complex federal regulations. Typical facilities qualifying for a registration permit include auto body shops and schools operating boilers for heat. Refer to the Registration Permit Handbook, available from the Permit Document Coordinator, for more detailed information on registration permits. Figure 1-1 illustrates the process for deciding what type of permit your facility needs. Other sections of Part 1 will define the types of permits and provide overall direction for completing the permit application. Section 10.0, a case study created by the MPCA, offers an overview of the permit application process from the applicant's viewpoint.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 1-2 2.0 WHAT AIR POLLUTANTS ARE REGULATED BY THE MPCA?
2.1 Criteria pollutants The MPCA regulates many air pollutants. Some of the regulated pollutants are called criteria pollutants. Before these pollutants are allowed in the ambient air, they must meet certain human health-based or welfare-based criteria. Ambient air is the air to which the general public might be exposed. The following is a list of the criteria pollutants and why they are regulated.
• Sulfur dioxide (SO2) contributes to acid rain pollution and is a respiratory irritant.
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx) is a respiratory irritant. NOx also contributes to acid rain and produces smog.
• Small particulate matter (PM10 – particulate matter less than 10 microns in size) can be inhaled, causing irritation or respiratory illness. • Carbon monoxide (CO) decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. • Lead (Pb) can cause anemia, brain damage and nervous system damage.
• Ozone (O3) is a respiratory irritant. Ground level ozone, a component of smog, is formed by reactions among volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides and sunlight.
2.2 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Most facilities do not emit ozone directly. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to ozone formation and are calculated instead of ozone for your facility's emissions. Some VOCs are toxic also. VOCs are found in solvents, coatings or lubricants. The definition of volatile organic compounds is very broad. Volatile organic compounds are defined as any organic (carbon) compounds which participate in atmospheric photochemical (smog-forming) reactions. This means any organic compound other than those specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as having minor photochemical reactivity. Table 2-1 (next page) lists the chemicals that are not considered VOCs. A list of chemicals not considered VOCs can also be found at Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 45.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 2-3 2.3 Hazardous Air Pollutants
Most hazardous air pollutants are also regulated as volatile organic compounds and PM10, but the definition of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) is more chemically specific. Hazardous air pollutants can also be metals. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments listed 189 HAPs (the list has been amended since then). These are included in the Minnesota permit rule as regulated pollutants with toxic health effects. As of the date of this document, there are 188 listed HAPs. Table 2.2 lists the chemicals and their Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) numbers. The CAS number is a specific identifier used to confirm a chemical identity. This is very useful for chemicals with more than one common name. For example, methyl chloroform and 1,1,1 trichlorethane are both names for the same chemical. The CAS number is 71-55-6, the same number for either name. Product material safety data sheets usually provide both a name and a CAS number.
2.4 Other regulated pollutants The criteria pollutants, volatile organic compounds and the hazardous air pollutants comprise most of the regulated pollutants you will include in your air emission permit application. Another pollutant you must include is total particulate matter (liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes or smog). Particulate matter is sometimes called total suspended particulates or TSP. Certain regulations also cover other pollutants. For example, sulfuric acid mist is regulated in a program called New Source Review (see Section 6.1.3). Other air quality programs add to the list of regulated pollutants. Accidental release provisions in the Clean Air Act Amendments cover some additional air pollutants (see Form GI-09[G]). Stratospheric ozone protection regulations cover the phase-out of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. Regulations also include the maintenance and repair of equipment containing certain ozone depleting materials. Be aware that if you replace a regulated ozone depleting material (chlorofluorocarbons, for example) with a material containing a volatile organic compound, you may need a permit to authorize the change in your operations.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 3-1
4.0 HOW IS YOUR FACILITY DEFINED? Your permit application will "define your facility" by detailing the facility's location and equipment. A facility may have a fixed location, like a factory or school. A facility can also be movable, like a portable asphalt plant. A facility includes all buildings or structures on connected or adjacent pieces of property that are under common ownership or control. Operations across the street from one another, however, may also be part of the same facility. Also, some facilities may have supporting operations on site with different owners. In this situation, your air emission permit would cover all of your facilities as a single source. The major Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code also helps to define what is part of a facility. The SIC code is a four digit number used to identify industries. The first two digits are the "major group" of a facility. For example, major group 20 is "Food and Kindred Products." The last two digits of the SIC code identify the specific type of facility. Food products that have 43 as the last two digits, for instance, are Cereal Breakfast Foods manufacturing (SIC code 2043). A list of common SIC code categories is found in Getting Started. The Standard Industrial Classification Manual contains all the SIC codes. All emission units in the same major group SIC code (the first two digits) are considered part of the same facility. There are times when sources having different major SIC codes may be part of the same facility. In that case, use the SIC code that is the main one for your operations. An example of a facility that has more than one SIC code is a plant that both makes and prints on cardboard boxes. Its primary SIC code is 2653, Corrugated and Solid Fiber Boxes. Since the company does some of its own printing on site, its secondary SIC code is 2754, Commercial Printing, Gravure.
4.1 What are your emission points? An emission point is where emissions are released into the atmosphere. An emission point may be a stack, a wall vent, the general building ventilation exhaust, or a window. Your permit application will need to identify the emission points at your facility. Stacks are the easiest emission points to identify. Use a systematic approach to identify all stacks and roof vents and locate them on a drawing. It is helpful if each emission point is labeled with a sturdy tag or marking. Labels should be weatherproof so that the stack identity is clearly and permanently displayed. Note whether a stack has a rain cap, sampling ports or monitoring devices. Note any unusual odors, visible emissions or deposited materials by the stacks.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 4-1 After you have finished making a list of your stacks, walk around the outside and through the inside of the building. You may find vents other than the roof stacks, such as wall vents or exhaust fans. Also look for operations that exhaust into the building. Any emission units or sources that exhaust into the building must be included in your emission calculations. After this survey, you should have found all of your emission points. Describe each stack or vent on Form GI-04, Stack/Vent information. Also note if there is pollution control equipment at any emission point. If you have monitoring equipment for the control equipment at the emission point, be sure to describe it. Monitoring equipment examples are temperature gauges, pressure gauges and flow meters. Complete Form GI-05A to describe your control equipment. Using your survey notes of outside and inside stacks or vents, place all your emission points on a facility or section layout diagram. This information will be helpful as you begin to complete the permit application forms. Your application must include information describing the location of your emission points. Form GI-03 is a facility and stack/vent diagram form that you could also use. An example diagram is included in the Blue Ox case study (Section 10.0). IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though some of your operations do not have a stack or vent, their process emissions will exhaust into the atmosphere through building ventilation or escape through doors or windows. These types of emissions must be included in your calculations. Operations that do not have a specific stack or vent are still considered emission units (see Section 4.2). Do not confuse this type of emission with "fugitive" emissions. Sections 4.2 and Section 5.1.4 provide more information on fugitive emissions.
4.2 What are your emission units? An emission unit is any piece of equipment or any process that emits pollutants into the air. They are the sources that emit pollutants to the air through your stacks and vents. For each stack or vent in your facility survey, list all the equipment and operations that vent at each emission point. Be sure to include any sources not located in your main building. If you have a standby generator, storage silo or other source located on your property, but away from the main building, it is still part of the facility. You may also have equipment or processes that you do not operate anymore. If these sources are still able to operate, they are considered emission units. You must include them in your application. Complete Form GI-05B, Emission Unit Description, for each emission unit other than storage tanks. Use form GI-05C for information related to tanks. Air emissions that cannot reasonably exhaust through a stack or a building structure are fugitive emissions. Examples of fugitive emissions include dust blowing from rock and coal piles and traffic on unpaved roads. Volatile organic compound emissions from outdoor leaking valves or
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 4-2 flanges are also fugitive emissions. Printing emissions at a print shop, on the other hand, are not fugitive emissions because they could be collected and emitted from a stack or vent. Note any sources of fugitive emissions in your application (use Form GI-05D, Fugitive Emission Source Description). After surveying your facility, you should have found all of your emission points and units. Not every unit must be included in your application. Appendix 1-A provides a list and description of the activities or sources you may exclude from an application. Excluded activities include fuel combustion for food preparation (e.g., an employee cafeteria), maintenance activities and clerical activities. There is also a second group of similar sources that you must include in your application. For these sources, you may not have to calculate the emissions unless it would increase your potential emissions enough to make your facility subject to different requirements. Appendix 1-B shows the sources for which you must include at least a description in your application.
4.3 How should you describe your operations? Your permit application should describe how your raw materials, processes, products and emissions are related. Diagrams are a useful tool for describing operations and their relationships in a clear and efficient way. A process flow diagram form (Form GI-02) can be used for this purpose. An example of a process flow diagram is included in the Blue Ox case study (Section 10.0). At this point, begin to think about your operations as a whole and work toward more detailed descriptions and process flow diagrams. Start with a rough sketch of your overall operations. Show the raw materials used, the process steps, and the finished products. After you have sketched the overall operations, do the same for specific processes. All emission points identified on the walk-through of your facility should also be on these process flow diagrams.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 4-3
5.0 WHAT IS POTENTIAL TO EMIT (PTE)? Now that you have a list of all your emission points and units, you are ready to look at your air emissions. The potential to emit (PTE) from your facility is one of the most important parts of your permit application. Primarily, it helps you determine what federal rules and regulations apply to your facility. For most facilities, PTE is the basis for deciding whether a permit is needed. Potential to emit is the maximum amount of air emissions a unit or facility can possibly produce in a year. PTE gives the MPCA a uniform way to assess all types of facilities. In addition, PTE helps to classify types of modifications at a facility (refer to Part 3: Making Changes for details). This is the definition of PTE that Minnesota uses for most facilities (Minnesota Rules 7005.0100, subp. 35a):
"PTE is the maximum capacity while operating at the maximum hours of operation of an emissions unit, emission facility, or stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type, or amount of material combusted, or stored, or processed shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is federally enforceable..."
5.1 How do you calculate Potential to Emit (PTE)? Calculate your PTE using these assumptions: • The emission unit operates continuously. This means it runs 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. This amounts to 8,760 hours per year. • The emission unit operates at its physical and operational design capacity. This means the absolute maximum performance the emission unit or source can achieve. • The material with the most emissions is processed or used 100% of the time (e.g., for volatile organic compound calculations, assume the coating with the highest solvent content is used 100% of the time; for particulate matter calculations, assume the coating with the highest solid content is used 100% of the time.).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-1 • The emission unit is uncontrolled. This means any pollution control equipment cannot be counted as reducing emissions while calculating potential to emit. Using the previous assumptions gives your unrestricted PTE. In most cases, this is what determines if an air emissions permit is needed. Once you’ve determined that an air emissions permit is needed, it may be possible to consider pollution control equipment when determining what type of permit is required. If the control equipment can be considered “listed control equipment” under Minn. R. 7011/0060 - 7011/0080, it may be used to calculate emissions for the type of permit. Potential to emit (PTE) calculations can include certain process limitations or bottlenecks. A bottleneck is an activity or process that restricts the capacity of other operations. As a result of a bottleneck, PTE may be reduced. The following examples illustrate bottlenecks that can and cannot be used in emissions calculations. Example A –– A grain facility has a dryer with a capacity of 50,000 bushels per hour (bu/hr). The facility has only one gallery conveyor for loading the dryer. The conveyor has a 40,000 bu/hr capacity. Since the conveyor physically limits the amount of grain that can be dried, it is a bottleneck. 40,000 bu/hr is used to calculate PTE for the dryer. Example B –– A spray booth has two spray guns and one compressor. The operator can spray either varnish or paint. The operator sprays these coatings separately to make the desired product. This is not considered a bottleneck. Because the compressor is large enough to allow both guns to run at the same time, the PTE calculation must assume both guns are used. If you want to use a bottleneck limitation in calculating your PTE, describe how it affects your process and emissions. You should also show it on your process flow diagrams. Please note that if you subsequently make a change that eliminates or reduces the bottleneck, you may have to amend your permit, or obtain one if you don’t already have one. If removing the bottleneck would cause an increase in potential emissions, the increase may be considered a modification to your facility. IMPORTANT NOTE: Heatset web offset presses and wafer board dryers must calculate the emissions of PM10 (condensable) emissions that result from their volatile organic compound usage. Other volatile organic compound emission sources will be required to calculate PM10 emissions as emission factors or other data become available.
5.1.1 What references can you use to calculate PTE? The potential to emit must be calculated separately for each regulated pollutant from each emission unit. You may use the EC series of forms for the different types of emission units or operations.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-2 Show your work for your PTE calculations! Part of the MPCA's review of your application includes checking how you came up with your PTE. If you use a computer spreadsheet, show a sample calculation or the formulas used as part of your application. Table 5-1 (next page) gives methods for calculating emissions. Appendix 2-A lists reference documents that might assist you. Remember that excluded activities, as listed in Appendix 1-A and 1-B, may not need emission calculations unless the additional emissions would cause your facility to be subject to different requirements.
5.1.2 Examples of Potential Emissions Calculations Example A –– Potential Emissions Calculations Using EMISSION FACTORS. If you use emission factors, pay attention to two things. First, make sure the factor you use is appropriate for your process. For example, three sets of emission factors are available for natural gas-fired boilers depending on their firing rate. To select the right factor, you need to know the size of your burner. Second, pay close attention to the units used with the emission factor. Make sure your process data agree with the units in the emission factor. The emission unit is a natural gas-fired boiler rated at 12 million Btu per hour, or 8,600 lb of steam per hour. NOx potential emissions will be calculated using an emission factor.
Heating value of natural gas = 1050 Btu/cubic foot
Annual operating hours = (365 days/year) (24 hours/day) = 8,760 hours/year
Hourly maximum fuel use = 12 million Btu/hr = 12,000 cubic feet/hour 1000 Btu/cubic foot
NOx Emission Factor from AP-42 = 100 pounds of NOx emitted per million cubic feet of natural gas burned
Annual potential emissions of NOx:

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-3 Table 5-1 METHODS FOR CALCULATING EMISSIONS
1. Emission Emission factors exist for many types of emission units and processes. An emission factor is an factors average emission value from industry data. It relates an activity or process to the quantity of a pollutant released into the atmosphere. Factors are usually expressed as the weight of pollutant released per volume or weight of the activity. You may need to know your process capacity or design rating to use an emission factor. An example of an emission factor is 0.0001 lb of NOx per cubic foot of natural gas burned. Emission factors for pollutants can be found in EPA publications such as AP-42**. If you need more information, AIRS**, , the FIRE*** database, and Toxic Air Pollutant Emission Factors may also be useful. These documents contain emission factors for many source classification codes. These factors are intended for use as default values if a facility lacks other emission data. Ordering information is in Appendix 2-A. If you do have data specific to your operations (e.g. from stack testing), use that instead of an emission factor from a book or database.
2. Mass Mass balance relies on the idea that what goes in must come out. Materials entering a process balances equal materials leaving, either through the product, recycled material, air emissions, wastewater, or solid or hazardous waste. Detailed records are needed. To find the amount of air emissions, you must accurately define these quantities: the amount of raw materials fed to production, the amount used in the product, and the amount lost to the non-air waste stream. Analyzing purchasing records, production records, product specifications and hazardous waste records may be helpful.
3. Performance If you have performance test data or data from a continuous emissions monitor for your facility, it test data must be used in place of emission factors. If you use actual operating or test data (from your own or a similar source), they must have been taken at the maximum possible emission rate. The test data must be correlated to the operating conditions.
4. Minnesota Regardless of your PTE, the limits listed in the Minnesota rules (primarily the Minnesota rules Standards of Performance for Stationary Sources) cannot be exceeded. You can use the rule values to calculate your "allowable" emissions from an emission unit. If your PTE is greater than the allowable emissions under the rule, the allowable emissions are used as your PTE because the rules do not let you emit more than the allowable amount. If your emissions unit cannot meet the state rule limit, you will have to add control equipment or modify operations so that the limit is met. Only if you have no other source of emissions data for calculating the PTE for an emission unit, can the allowable emissions be used as the PTE for that unit.
5. Federal New Source Performance Standards must not be exceeded. These emission limits are used to New Source calculate "allowable" emissions. The allowable emissions are then used as the PTE for the Performance emission unit. Standards limits

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-4 Example B –– Potential Emissions Calculations Using MASS BALANCE. You can use a mass balance calculation to determine emissions from an individual process or series of process steps. The mass balance approach assumes that what goes into a process step equals what comes out. To use a mass balance, be certain that you know how the products and process behave. For example, at what temperature does your compound evaporate? Is any solvent retained in a hardened resin? These characteristics affect how much of your compound is emitted. In this example, the emission unit is one spray gun. The gun capacity is 5 gallons per hour. Primer, paint and varnish are used at this emission unit. Mineral spirits are used for cleaning. To calculate the PTE of volatile organic compounds from spray coating, assume the coating with the highest solvent content is used continuously. To calculate the PTE of particulate matter from coating, assume the highest solid content coating is used continuously. Although there is a wall filter on the booth for particulate matter, this control efficiency is not used in determining if a permit is needed. The transfer efficiency of the spray gun is 75% (taken from Table 1, Form PE-07). This means 75% of the coating adheres to the part and 25% is overspray. The overspray is released to the ambient air.

Last year, the company used 800 gallons of mineral spirits and the plant operated 4,000 hours. For this calculation, those numbers will be scaled up, since there is not a "rated capacity" for cleaning, as there is for the spray gun. The usage of cleaning solvent is variable. For the purposes of establishing PTE, a margin for error will be factored into the calculation. An additional 30% was selected as an adequate margin for their operations. Annual potential emissions of volatile organic compounds from cleaning are calculated as follows: gallons 800 year gallons = 02. hours hour 4000 year

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-6 Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions In addition to calculating your overall VOC emissions, you must also calculate the emissions of any individual hazardous air pollutant (HAP) from the list of HAPs. For the painting operation described in Example B, a review of the material safety data sheets showed what hazardous air pollutants are in the coatings. Only the paint, sealer and stain contain any chemicals that are hazardous air pollutants. The hazardous air pollutants are formaldehyde, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and xylene.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In your emission calculations, you must calculate the maximum potential emission rate of each hazardous air pollutant you use. This means you must examine all materials that contain hazardous air pollutants, not just your maximum content of volatile organic compound material.
5.1.3 What is the next step after calculating the PTE of your emission units? Once you have found the potential to emit (PTE) from each individual emission unit, find the total PTE for each pollutant emitted by your facility. To obtain the total PTE for each pollutant, add the PTE from all the individual emission units. Once you have the total facility PTE for each pollutant, compare each of your totals to the thresholds for permits. Table 5-2 lists all the emission thresholds. If your total facility PTE for any one pollutant is above the level in Table 5-2, a permit is required. If you are building a new facility and the potential emissions meet or exceed the thresholds in Table 5-2, a permit is required before you start construction. If you meet or exceed a threshold for Part 70, your facility is called a "major" source for Part 70.

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 50 tons/year State Fuel combustion
100 tons/year Part 70
Lead (Pb) 0.5 tons/year State Wave soldering, lead smelting and recycling 10 tons/year Part 70
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Part 70 Solvent cleaning, painting, Any single HAP 10 tons/year fuel storage and transfer Any combination of HAPs 25 tons/year (both numbers include fugitive emissions)
5.1.4 What about fugitive emissions? If you have fugitive emissions, your permit application must have information on them, just as it would for stack emissions. However, fugitive emissions are only added to PTE in certain cases. If your facility is one of those listed in Table 5-3, you will add the PTE from fugitive emissions to the PTE from your emission points to determine if you need a Part 70 permit. Also, if your PTE is below state thresholds and you have fugitive emissions, add the PTE from the fugitive emissions to the PTE from your emission points. Your total facility PTE, including fugitive emissions, may trigger the need for a state permit for your facility.

5.1.5 What if your PTE is below the thresholds? If your potential emissions are below all the thresholds listed in Table 5-2, you may not have to submit a permit application. You should keep records showing your calculations and decisions. Also, keep track of any future increases in emissions in case your total facility PTE ever exceeds a threshold. If it does, you will have to obtain a permit. You should calculate emissions increases before you start construction. Certain changes require the permit to be issued for construction to begin (refer to Part 3: Making Changes). Even if your emissions are below all the thresholds listed in Table 5-2, you may still need a permit. If an emission unit or facility is subject to any federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS)*, you will need a state permit just for the unit covered by the NSPS. Certain
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-10 National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) cause a facility to need a state permit. These NESHAPs are the ones listed in Form GI-09(A)**. More information about these two regulations is in Section 6.1.2 and 6.1.4. Minnesota's rules regarding waste combustors require a permit for some waste combustors whose emissions are below the threshold levels in Table 5-2. * except: 40 CFR 60 Subp.

Dc, Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, if all are only capable of burning natural gas or propane. **except for 40 CFR 61 Subp. M, Asbestos section 61.145 Standard for Demolition and Renovation
5.2 Do you need any other emissions data? 5.2.1 What are your actual emissions? Your actual emissions for the previous year may have to be part of your permit application. Actual emissions are the emissions to the air that result from your actual material usage and actual hours of operation. For some facilities, a federal program called New Source Review (NSR) will apply (see Section 6.1.3). In NSR, the actual emissions data for operations now and in the past may be important. If you filed an annual Emission Inventory Report (Section 6.2.4) with the MPCA in the previous year, you do not have to submit actual emissions data with your application. If you have not submitted an annual Emission Inventory Report, you may not know your actual air emissions. The same methods used to calculate PTE can be used to find your actual emissions. You have several tools at your facility to help you calculate actual emissions. These reports will help you define your material usage: • Purchasing records • Production records • Fuel usage records • Hazardous waste manifests (for solvents, inks, paints or other materials) • Material safety data sheets (MSDSs) • Toxic Release Inventory reports Information collected from these sources should help to define your actual emissions. The mass balance approach (Section 5.1.2) is also useful for calculating actual emissions. For example, suppose you are using an organic cleaning solvent that is disposed as a hazardous waste. To calculate the portion that evaporated (your volatile organic compound emissions), you need to
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-11 know how much solvent went into the process and subtract the amount that went out as hazardous waste.
5.3 How can you limit your Potential to Emit (PTE)? 5.3.1 What about your air pollution control equipment? The “Control Equipment Rule” (Minn. R. 7011.0060 - 7011.0080) allows you to count the effects of some control equipment toward limiting your PTE. However, not all types of control equipment can be counted, and it can’t be used to reduce PTE to below permitting thresholds or to avoid permitting. Refer to the rule for more information, or to the fact sheet called “Control Equipment Performance Standards.”
5.3.2 What if you do not want to be subject to federal regulations? Suppose your potential to emit exceeds a threshold for a Part 70 permit for either criteria or hazardous air pollutants. Perhaps your PTE exceeds the thresholds for a major source in the New Source Review (NSR) regulations (see Section 6.1.3). However, your actual emissions are below the thresholds. You can then choose to have a synthetic minor permit. Your permit application for a synthetic minor permit must comply with all the requirements of a major source. Your facility does not become a synthetic minor facility until the permit is issued. The synthetic minor permit contains operating and emission limits. By accepting permit conditions that limit what you are allowed to emit, your PTE is redefined. Your allowable emissions in your permit become your PTE. If your actual emissions already exceed the thresholds for New Source Review, you cannot have a synthetic minor permit for your total facility. Refer to Part 3: Making Changes for information on synthetic minor modifications. A synthetic minor permit or amendment has benefits. For example, suppose you receive a synthetic minor state permit, instead of a Part 70 permit. Most state permits will not expire and you would be exempt from compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) requirements (see Section 6.1.7). You may also avoid environmental review (see Section 6.2.2). In addition, a synthetic minor permit for New Source Review (NSR) has some advantages. A synthetic minor permit for NSR may give you more flexibility for future changes. You also save both time and money with a simpler application process. Remember that if you receive a synthetic minor permit, you must perform sufficient record keeping and monitoring to show you are meeting the permit limits. The following discussion introduces you to what goes into your proposal for synthetic minor limits.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-12 5.3.2.1 What are acceptable options for synthetic minor limits? Acceptable permit conditions for a synthetic minor permit set specific limits for specific pollutants. Your permit cannot be written as, "do not exceed 99 tons per year of CO" –– that is too vague to be enforced. A permit limit for a synthetic minor must be enforceable. Enforceability means: • The limit is in a permit that was issued under an EPA approved program and that had a public comment period. • The limit is enforceable in a practical way (practically enforceable). Practically enforceable limits may be: • Production limits –– restrictions on the amount of a final product that can be manufactured or produced at a facility or process line. • Operational limits –– restrictions on how a source is run. These include limits on the hours of operation, fuel use, raw material type and usage, and the operation of pollution control equipment. • Emission limits –– these are acceptable if they are on a quantifiable, production basis. Examples are: pounds of pollutant/million Btu heat input or pounds of pollutant/unit of product. Emission limits are often linked to operational limits (e.g., a limit on the amount of fuel burned). You must be able to show that you comply with all your limits or requirements at any time. To show this, you may use some or all of these methods: • Record keeping such as production throughput and hours of operation • Continuous emission monitoring (CEM) data • Stack test data • Material analysis such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), supplier certification, or laboratory analysis results If you choose to limit your hours of operation, your PTE must be calculated using the maximum design capacity for all the hours allowed by the permit. Be aware that putting a limit on the hours of operation may be more restrictive for you than other operating limits. However, you can also use a combination of types of limits, such as hours of operation with material usage. For many sources, the time period associated with a production or material usage limit may be proposed in any of several ways. It could be a straight monthly limit (i.e., not to exceed 500 hours per month). It could be an annual limit where you calculate the total over the previous 12
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-13 months (called a 12-month rolling sum). It could be one where you calculate the daily average over the previous 365 days (called a 365-day rolling average). Either of the rolling limits will give you a bit more operating flexibility than a monthly limit. Low months will allow you to have high months and still not exceed your limit. For some facilities (often those that are more complex than most or those that have an NSR requirement), a 30- or 365-day rolling average may be necessary. If you propose a rolling average or rolling sum for a new unit, you must provide a way to show that you comply with your limits during the first 12 months of operation. This could be a formula as shown in the following example. It could be a temporary monthly limit. If you are requesting new limits on an existing source, you have the option of using existing operating data in the rolling period. This would eliminate the need for a special limit for the first 12 months. Example –– This is a new installation of a stand-by diesel generator set. The unrestricted potential to emit would make the facility subject to both Part 70 and NSR. The limits keep potential emissions less than 100 tons per year. By accepting limits, the facility would not be considered a major source for both programs. In addition, the requirement for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet is avoided (see Section 6.2.2).
Pollutant Limitation
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) (limited Not to exceed 300 hours of operation in each calendar year to less than 100 tons per year) Annual hours of operation shall be calculated monthly, based upon a 12-month rolling sum.
For the first 12 months of operation, the following formula shall be used:
Hn < 27.27 + 22.73n
Where: Hn = the total number of hours of operation through month n
n = number of months of unit operation
Where did that formula come from? It was set up to keep the total number of hours of operation for the first year less than or equal to 300 hours. The company decided that having 50 hours in the first month was more than enough for a stand-by generator set, even if an emergency did occur. That meant that for the rest of the year, there were 250 hours available. Those 250 hours had to be spread out over the next 11 months; i.e., 250 ÷ 11 = 22.73 hours. The first term of the formula is then (50 - 22.73) = 27.27. There is nothing magic about picking 50 hours for the first
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-14 month. If 30 hours were enough for the first month, the formula could use 30. If more hours were needed in the first month, the formula could use more hours. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you can live with the limits in your synthetic minor permit. Suppose that in the future you want to modify your facility or permit and would then exceed the synthetic minor limits. At that time, you may have to address the requirements you avoided when you received a synthetic minor permit. Those requirements could include the installation of control equipment, computer modeling of the emissions, or environmental review, among others. If you do not comply with your synthetic minor limits, your permit may be a sham permit and you may be subject to enforcement action. This is because the objective of a synthetic minor permit is to simplify the permit process for sources whose actual emissions are minor. It is not for sources to circumvent major source requirements, if those requirements apply to them.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 5-15
6.0 WHAT RULES AND REGULATIONS APPLY TO YOU? Some federal and state air quality rules and regulations apply to specific emission units. Some apply to the entire facility. This section is a brief introduction to what the MPCA calls "applicable requirements." Requirements Form GI-09 will help you define all the rules and regulations that apply to you in the permit application. Refer to Part 2 for the rules and regulations that relate to completing the compliance portion of your application. Federal regulations are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Title 40 of the CFR covers the protection of the environment. Air quality regulations are in parts 50 to 99 of Title 40. If you see a reference to 40 CFR 61.01, it means the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 61, Section 01. MPCA Air Quality rules are in Minnesota Rules, Chapters 7002 to 7030. Copies of federal and state regulations are at the MPCA library, county law libraries, university or college libraries, and some public libraries. The MPCA can also provide assistance in obtaining specific rules. You can also order copies of the Minnesota Rules or the CFR. See Appendix 2-A for a list of the rule publications and where to order them.
6.1 What are the federal regulations? Whether your facility needs a permit or not, remember that you still have to comply with the federal regulations.
6.1.1 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) set the maximum concentrations of pollutants allowed in the ambient air. The pollutants for which the standards are developed are the criteria pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO, lead, and ozone). Minnesota also has a state standard for hydrogen sulfide. Primary and secondary standards exist for each of the pollutants. Primary standards protect public health, while secondary standards protect public welfare. Public welfare includes economic and environmental effects such as damage to plants or buildings. The NAAQS are found in Part 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If the National Ambient Air Quality Standards are met in a given area (e.g., a county), then the area is an attainment area. A nonattainment area is where the level of a criteria pollutant in the air exceeds the NAAQS for a pollutant. Nonattainment areas in Minnesota are shown in Table 6-1 and Appendix 3-A. Your location affects your facility's status for New Source Review (see Section 6.1.3 and Part 3 of the Guide).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-1 Table 6-1 NONATTAINMENT AREAS IN MINNESOTA
Type of Pollutant Counties classified as nonattainment or as having nonattainment areas
Particulate Matter Less Portions of Ramsey County along the Mississippi River than 10 Microns (PM10)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Portions of Olmsted County (Rochester area)
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Anoka, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties; Portions of Carver, Dakota, Scott, Washington and Wright Counties
If your facility requires a Part 70 permit, you will also have to show compliance with NAAQS.
Current MPCA policy is to required this for all facilities that have potential emissions of PM10,
SO2, or NOX exceeding 100 tons per year. Other facilities may also have to conduct modeling in certain instances. If this applies to your facility, your permit will require you to conduct dispersion modeling of your potential emissions. Dispersion modeling uses a computer program in which facility and emissions data are used to estimate pollutant concentrations. Estimated concentrations at various locations in the surrounding area are compared to the standards. The modeling requirement must be completed within the first five-year term of a Part 70 permit. You may submit your modeling with your initial application if you wish. Dispersion modeling is discussed further in Part 2, Section 2.5.4.1.
6.1.1.1 State Implementation Plan The MPCA has negotiated emission limits and other conditions with approximately 25 facilities. These conditions were needed to meet the NAAQS in the area around these facilities. The MPCA submitted these conditions to the EPA as part of Minnesota's State Implementation Plan (SIP). Once approved by the EPA, these SIP conditions have the effect of a federal regulation.
6.1.2 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) The NESHAPs rules are in 40 CFR Parts 61, 63 and 68. Part 61 has standards for nine hazardous air pollutants when they are emitted from specific source types. The nine hazardous air pollutants are: radon, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, radionuclides, benzene, asbestos, inorganic arsenic and volatile hazardous air pollutants. Form GI-09(B) lists the source types. Part 63 contains a list of hazardous air pollutants [see Table A in Form GI-09(A)]. Some of the hazardous air pollutants overlap with the nine listed in Part 61. These chemicals include components of common solvents and heavy metals like cadmium. For sources that emit these hazardous air pollutants, the EPA is developing Maximum Achievable Control Technology
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-2 (MACT) standards. MACT standards are being developed for new major sources and also for existing sources of hazardous air pollutants. The standards apply to source categories, such as halogenated solvent cleaning equipment or wood treatment. A facility may be subject to a MACT standard but not required to have a permit. MACT standards will be established based on current technology. A MACT standard can be an emission rate, a product substitution, a work practice, or a control technology requirement. When setting the standards, the EPA can consider factors such as cost, energy use, waste disposal and water quality. Once a MACT standard is in effect, an existing source has up to three years to comply. If your facility has opted to participate in the federal Early Reductions Program, you may have up to six years to comply with MACT. A new source must comply with MACT upon start-up. Table B in Form GI-09(A) contains the list of source categories for which MACT standards are developed or planned and the dates they are expected to be in effect. Please note that if a MACT standard is promulgated that applies to your facility, you must comply with it regardless of your permit status at that time. Some MACT standards are not due to be promulgated until the year 2000. If your facility becomes subject to any of these requirements, you will need to comply with the new rules. You can track these regulations and others that may be proposed in the Federal Register, The Minnesota State Register, and through updates in the MPCA's Air Mail newsletter. Part 68 of the Code of Federal Regulations concerns the prevention of accidental releases. It applies to specific chemicals, but only if a facility uses, handles, processes or stores more than a threshold amount of the chemical. Form GI-09(G) lists the chemicals in this regulation and the threshold amounts. However, these requirements are not permit requirements. Be aware that if this part of the regulation applies to you, you are required to write a management plan for the prevention of accidental releases that covers hazard assessment, pollution prevention, and emergency response issues for your facility.
6.1.3 New Source Review New Source Review (NSR) regulations are federal regulations that Minnesota administers through its permits. NSR regulations are in Parts 51 Appendix S and Section 52.21 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The present NSR regulations have been in effect since 1980. The goal of NSR is to allow economic growth while protecting air quality. These pollutants are currently regulated by the NSR program:
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-3 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Ozone (hydrocarbons and VOCs)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Sulfuric acid mist PM and Total Particulate Matter (PM) 10 Total reduced sulfur compounds (TRS) Municipal waste combustor acid gases and metals Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Lead (Pb) Fluorides
PM2.5 will be regulated in the future. Within NSR, two related programs are based on your location. One is called Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), which is the part of the NSR program that applies to facilities located in attainment areas. The other program is Nonattainment Area New Source Review for areas where one or more National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are exceeded. Many similarities exist between PSD and Nonattainment Area review. The NSR program also provides special protection to geographic areas with special scenic or recreational values. These locations are called "Class I" areas. In Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park are Class I areas. In Wisconsin, the Rainbow Lakes Wilderness Area is a Class I area that may be affected by Minnesota facilities.
6.1.3.1 Does NSR apply to your facility? Your facility could be a "major source" and require a Part 70 permit. That does not necessarily mean your facility is a major source for NSR. NSR applies to facilities whose emissions meet or exceed the thresholds in the NSR regulations. The major source threshold for NSR is a potential to emit 100 tons per year if either of these criteria applies: • Your facility is one of the 28 types listed in Table 6-2. The numbers in parentheses are the typical SIC codes for the source type. (Note: For these 28 sources, count fugitive emissions in your potential to emit to determine if your facility is "major.") • Your facility is located in a nonattainment area (see Section 6.1.1). "Nonattainment Area" review is triggered only if your facility's potential emissions of the nonattainment pollutant in the nonattainment area exceeds 100 tons per year. If neither of these criteria applies to you, then the threshold for facilities defined as a "major" source is 250 tons per year.

New Source Review is a pre-construction review program. This means you must wait until your permit is issued before starting to construct a "major" new facility or modification. If you are constructing a new facility with a potential to emit that is major according to the above definition, New Source Review must be performed. If you have an existing facility with a potential to emit that is major, New Source Review may apply if you wish to modify your facility. For future changes under New Source Review, refer to Part 3, Section 2.2.1.
6.1.3.2 What is required for NSR? If you have to perform a New Source Review for your project, it will include these items:
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-5 • Analysis for each pollutant to show whether PSD or nonattainment review applies • Environmental review by the Environmental Quality Board (see Section 6.2.2) • Public participation during a comment period • Review by the National Park Service or Forest Service if a Class I area is nearby • Analysis of the proposed emission rate or control technology • Ambient air monitoring (for some facilities) • Computer modeling to analyze impacts on air quality, visibility, soils and vegetation NSR requires that you look at ways to minimize your emissions. In a nonattainment area review, you must have the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER). LAER does not account for things like cost –– it is strictly a technical determination of what the smallest emission rate is for your emission unit. For Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) reviews in attainment areas, Best Available Control Technology (BACT) must be applied. BACT is not necessarily a type of pollution control equipment, although the name implies it. A BACT study gives an emission rate, and it does consider cost, along with other factors. If you can achieve the emission rate with something like good process control, then good process control is BACT. You may have the option of obtaining a synthetic minor permit to restrict your emissions to less than threshold levels for New Source Review. If you do, the requirements of NSR are avoided. You may take permit conditions to restrict emissions from a new facility to less than 100 tons per year or 250 tons per year. If your existing facility has always had actual emissions below NSR thresholds, then you may also be able to receive a synthetic minor permit. You may also obtain a synthetic minor permit amendment for a modification. Please note that whether your facility is a major source or a synthetic minor source, you may not begin construction until a permit is issued.
6.1.4 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) exist so that new emission sources emit less pollution than old sources. You can find complete information on NSPS in Part 60 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Sources subject to NSPS have to follow all the general requirements in Part 60.1 - 60.29. Each NSPS applies only to defined sources that construct, modify or reconstruct after the date a particular NSPS was proposed. Part 60 defines the type and size of unit or facility for each NSPS. Emission limits, monitoring requirements, testing methods and reporting requirements are also part of most New Source Performance Standards. Form GI- 09(D) provides a list of emission sources subject to NSPS.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-6 When looking at NSPS, modification has a specific meaning. Modification means a physical or operational change to your facility that results in an increase in the emission rate of a regulated pollutant. Routine maintenance and repair is not considered a modification. Neither would an increase in the hours of operation because the potential emission rate (i.e., lb/hr) would not change. Reconstruction may be a modification and is defined for NSPS. Reconstruction is the significant replacement of existing components to an emission source (i.e., the cost of repair is greater than 50% of the cost of replacing the entire emission source).
6.1.4.1 An example of an NSPS Suppose you have an oil-fired boiler rated at 30 million Btu/hr and built after June 9, 1989. A New Source Performance Standard applies to your boiler: Subpart Dc – Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units. This NSPS sets a SO2 limit for your boiler. The SO2 limit is 0.5 lb of SO2/million BTU of heat input or a sulfur content limit for the fuel oil of 0.5% by weight. If you choose the sulfur content limit, you would show that you comply with the requirement by fuel sampling or supplier certification. You would keep records of your fuel reports and report each quarter. If you opted for the other SO2 limit, you would need a SO2 emissions monitor on your stack. For an oil burning boiler, there is no particulate matter (PM) limit, however, it may not emit gases that have more than 20% opacity. Opacity is a measure of the visible emissions, such as smoke or dust, from a stack exhaust.
6.1.5 Acid Rain The acid rain program generally applies to power utilities with a generating capacity of more than 25 megawatts. It may apply to you if your facility combusts fossil fuel and generates electricity for wholesale or retail sale. The acid rain program requirements are in Parts 72, 73, 75, 77, and 78 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. See Form GI-09(E) for further information.
6.1.6 Stratospheric Ozone Protection Because certain chemicals may cause a depletion of the ozone layer, the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments has phased out their production. A list of ozone depleting chemicals is included in Form GI-09(F), Table D. Most of the chemicals are chlorofluorocarbons (often referred to as Freons®). Other affected compounds include 1,1,1-trichloroethane and carbon tetrachloride. If your facility manufactures, sells, distributes or uses any of the chemicals, this rule applies to you. If so, you will also need to identify any replacement chemical(s) in your permit application. These regulations are in Part 82 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency has a Stratospheric Ozone Hotline. The telephone
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-7 number is 1-800-296-1996 and it is available Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Central Standard Time. Note that if you replace an ozone depleting chemical with a VOC containing compound, you may need a permit to authorize the change in your operations.
6.1.7 Compliance Assurance Monitoring Compliance Assurance Monitoring requirements apply to facilities that operate emission control devices subject to federally enforceable regulations promulgated prior to 1990. These regulations are not limited to EPA regulations, but include any regulation that pertains to the Part 70 operating permit rule. This includes New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), and Minnesota Rules contained in the State Implementation Plan. Periodic monitoring applies to those facilities and units that are not subject to enhanced monitoring. The MPCA has guidance on what it will accept as periodic monitoring. This guidance is attached to Form CD-01, Compliance Plan. You can find more information on monitoring and compliance in Part 2 of the Guide.
6.2 What are the Minnesota rules? Whether your facility needs a permit or not, you still have to comply with the state rules. Table 6-3 lists the Minnesota rules related to air emission facilities. The Minnesota Air Quality Rules were renumbered as listed in The Minnesota State Register dated August 23, 1993. If you have difficulty locating a specific rule, contact the Permit Information Specialist, whose phone number is in Focus Section of Part 1.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-8 6.2.1 Air Quality Permit Rule Minnesota Rules Chapter 7007 contains the requirements for air emission permits. Even though this Guide introduces many sections of the permit rule, you should become familiar with the rule itself. Again, you can obtain a copy of the rule from the Permit Information Coordinator (see the Focus Section in Part 1 for the phone number). Copies of the rule can also be ordered from the Minnesota Print Communications Division (see Appendix 2-A for ordering information).
6.2.2 Environmental Review Program The Environmental Planning and Review function of the MPCA conducts environmental reviews of projects with the potential for significant environmental effects. If your new facility or modification has potential air emissions of 100 tons per year or more, EQB review is required. EQB review is also required for projects that fall in certain "mandatory" categories. The mandatory category lists are in Appendix 4. Some government units (e.g., a city) may request environmental review even if it is not mandatory. Citizens can also petition for environmental review. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is the first step in environmental review. An EAW consists of a series of questions about your project. You will have to answer questions related to land use, impacts on plants and animals, air pollution and water pollution. An EAW determines if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) should be done. Typically, an EAW takes up to six months to complete, including a 30-day public comment period. If an EIS is required, the EIS will contain more detailed information. An EIS considers alternatives to the proposed project and explores methods for reducing adverse environmental effects. An EIS typically takes over a year to complete, including two public comment periods. If you obtain a permit that restricts your potential emissions to less than 100 tons per year, environmental review may be avoided. If you have another modification, however, environmental review may be required at that time even if the increase in potential emissions from the project is less than 100 tons per year. The rules governing environmental review are found in Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410.
6.2.3 Standards of performance for stationary sources Minnesota has performance standards for about 50 emission units or facility types. Many of these are the same as federal New Source Performance Standards. Look at Form GI-09(I) for the titles and where you can find each standard in Minnesota Rules Chapter 7011. For example, there are rules for fossil fuel-fired, indirect heating equipment (e.g., boilers). The indirect heating equipment rules have emission limits based on the size of the unit, its location, and the
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-9 type of fuel burned. These limits cover particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. There are also different standards based on the age of the equipment. One Minnesota standard that you can choose to have apply to your facility is for control equipment (Minn. R. 7011.0060 - 7011.0080). This rule only applies if you choose to use the listed efficiencies in the rule to determine what type of air emissions permit (or permit amendment) you need. If you choose to be subject to this rule, then you must meet all the conditions of the rule -- the recordkeeping, monitoring, and operation and maintenance requirements listed in the rule. These requirements will be added to your permit when it is issued. There are limitations on when the rule can be used when making modifications. Refer to Part 3: Making Changes for more information on modifications.
6.2.4 Emission inventory and air quality emission fees If your facility is subject to the air permit rule, you must also file an annual Emission Inventory. This inventory details the actual emissions from the facility based on records of material use and total production. You must sign a certification that says your inventory is true, accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. Air quality fees are based on the amount of actual emissions reported in your inventory. These rules are found in Chapters 7002 and 7019. The MPCA mails the forms for your inventory in January of each year. The completed inventories are due in April. If you are required to pay emission fees, but you do not submit an inventory of your actual emissions, your fees will be based on your facility's potential to emit. Since your potential emissions may be greater than your actual emissions, it is important that you submit your emission inventory on time.
6.2.5 Performance testing for emissions Sometimes performance tests will be needed to measure your emissions or control equipment efficiency. Performance testing helps you know if emission limits and control equipment efficiencies in your permit are being met. Testing must follow the procedures outlined in Minnesota Rules Chapter 7017. The rule requires a process or unit to operate at its highest emission rate for testing. If the highest emission rate operating condition is not known, testing would be conducted at the maximum process rate. You may elect to conduct testing under some other condition. If approved by the MPCA, the other testing conditions will then be part of your permit. Refer to Section 2.7 in Part 2 of the Guide for more detailed information on performance testing.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 6-10 7.0 HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY IN YOUR OPERATIONS? The air permit rule has some provisions that allow you to build flexibility into your permit. For example, permit limits can be somewhat flexible. For example, a limit can specify material usage for a group of emission points, such as paint usage for a group of spray booths. In this case, a group or overall limit may be more flexible for you than limits for each individual emission point. In addition, modifications (changes that may cause an increase in emissions) allow you to make some changes before a permit or amendment is issued. Part 3 of the Guide describes the different types of modifications and when you may make the changes.
7.1 What is operational flexibility? Specific provisions are outlined in the air permit rule for operational flexibility. When you apply for a permit, you would request this flexibility and propose specific language to include in your permit.
7.1.1 Alternative operating scenarios After you have an air emission permit for your total facility, your operations may change. You may have frequent operational changes or changes with short time tables. These changes may cause you to need a permit amendment. Applying for and waiting for an amendment may be inconvenient or even hurt your business. If you can foresee the various modes of operation that you may need, they can be included in your facility's air emission permit. If so, you would not need to amend a permit when you switch between operating modes. In your application, you must describe each operating mode. Each mode is an alternative operating scenario. Each scenario must have its own calculations and methods of monitoring and record keeping. The monitoring and record keeping must be specific enough to verify your compliance status at all times. When you switch between scenarios, you must record related data. These include the date, time, duration and production totals for each change of scenario. Section 2.10.2 in Part 2 discusses record keeping and reporting in greater detail. An example of an alternative operating scenario is a boiler that uses natural gas as its primary fuel, and fuel oil as a backup fuel. Different record keeping and monitoring would be done when fuel oil is used than when gas is used. For instance, the sulfur content of the fuel oil would be tracked while using oil, but not when using gas. Another example is a printing press with control equipment for volatile organic compounds. Both solvent-based inks and water-based inks are used. When water-based inks are used, the control equipment may not have to be run at all. If the control equipment does run, it most
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 7-1 likely would be at a different temperature and efficiency than when solvent-based inks are used. Both operating scenarios should be addressed in the permit application.
7.1.2 Emission trading Emission trading may apply to your facility. Emission trading is another way to avoid delays when making changes within your facility. Emission trading applies to the emissions of a single pollutant and is facility-specific. The facility will typically have an emission cap on a group of sources or the total facility, rather than limits for each emission point. The cap can be a synthetic minor permit limit. Trading allows you to exchange emission increases with emission decreases that occur within your facility. The cap and any other emission limits must not be exceeded. Emission trades are not allowed if they would be a modification as defined in New Source Review, New Source Performance Standards, or National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. When you wish to make a trade, the MPCA must be notified at least seven working days in advance. To use emission trading, request it in your permit application. You must also propose your monitoring and record keeping methods to quantify the emission trades. Be aware that the monitoring and record keeping must be done the same way every time a trade is made. Options for monitoring and quantifying the trades range from simple to complex as shown by these examples: • Fuel use or material usage records • Calculations based on acceptable engineering estimation techniques • Measurement of emissions, process parameters, control equipment parameters, and material data performed on a periodic basis • Results of operations and maintenance programs, work plans, leak detection programs, and dust control programs • Continuous monitoring systems for process or control equipment parameters, or for emissions
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 7-2 8.0 WHAT IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL IN AN APPLICATION? Your permit application will contain detailed information about your facility. You may wish to keep some of that material confidential. Normally, everything submitted to the MPCA is available to the public. The Minnesota Data Practices Act allows some kinds of data, such as trade secrets or sales figures, to be kept confidential. Facility data related to emissions may not be kept confidential. For the MPCA to treat information in your application as confidential, you must submit a written request to the MPCA using Form CR-03. This request should identify what specific data in your application is confidential. You must state the reason for keeping the data confidential and certify that the material is confidential. The two legal provisions most likely to apply to permit applications protect the following kinds of data: • Data furnished to the agency that relates to (a) sales figures, (b) processes or methods of production unique to the owner or operator, OR (c) information which would tend to affect adversely the competitive position of said owner or operator. (Minn. Stat § 116.075, subd. 2) • Data including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process (1) that was supplied by the affected individual or organization, (2) that is the subject of efforts by the individual or organization that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy, AND (3) that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. (Minn. Stat. § 13.37, subd. 1(b)) However, even if the information falls under one of the above categories, if it is considered emissions data (defined in 40 CFR § 2.301), then the information is considered public. Both the Clean Air Act and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations require that “emission data” submitted to the MPCA under Title V or Minnesota’s State Implementation Plan must be available to the public. In addition, EPA has issued guidance on what type of information it generally considers to be emission data (Federal Register Vol. 56, No. 35; February 21, 1991). Please note that only specific data within an application can be considered confidential, not the entire application or permit. The MPCA staff will review your request and reply in writing. If your request is approved, the confidential material is kept in a separate, locked file at the MPCA.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 8-1 Once a piece of information has been approved as confidential, you must submit another copy of your application with the confidential data removed. That copy will be for the public file. If you send the MPCA any other documents that contain the confidential data, you must label it and request confidential status again. It is your responsibility to properly label (approved) data as confidential. The MPCA staff will not sort documents for data that may be confidential, but are not labeled. If you do not request and receive approval to have material treated as confidential, please take note! Stamping the word "Confidential" on a document will not cause the MPCA to treat it as confidential. For material to be treated as confidential, you must submit a written request for confidentiality and the MPCA must approve your request. The MPCA can agree to keep your data confidential. However, if the EPA requests the information from the MPCA, the agency must provide it. The material will not be treated as confidential by the EPA unless you request that the EPA does so. Requests for the EPA to keep data confidential are governed by Part 2 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Requests to EPA for confidentiality should be made to: Chief, Grants Management and Program Evaluation Section EPA Region V 77 West Jackson Blvd. Chicago, Illinois 60604
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 8-2 9.0 WHAT IS IN A COMPLETE PERMIT APPLICATION? A complete permit application contains information about your emission sources and your facility. It is the starting point for your permit. Your application should include the facility and emissions data you have collected based on the suggestions offered in Sections 2 through 5 of Part 1 of the Guide. The MPCA has developed standard forms you must use when you apply for a permit. The Blue Ox Woodworks case study (Section 10) has examples of completed forms (Appendix 5-A). These forms list the information needed by the MPCA to write a permit for your facility. If a question on a form is not applicable or the information is not available, note that by the question. If you find that a form does not apply to your facility, do not submit it. Table 9-1 shows the information you must supply in an application. The Application Forms Master List can serve as a table of contents for your application. This form can also be used as a checklist while you prepare your application. It will help to monitor those portions of the application you have completed. Your application will also cover compliance issues. After you decide what air permit rules apply to your facility, you must determine whether you comply with them. Your application should outline how you will correct any situations where your facility does not comply at the time you submit the application. Also, you must submit a plan for keeping your facility in compliance once the permit is issued. Part 2: Determining Compliance helps you work through the compliance issues for your application. Your application must certify that the information is complete and correct to the best of your knowledge. This certification must be signed by a responsible official. The signer can be a president, general partner or a ranking elected official. Other qualified people are listed in Minnesota Rule Chapter 7007.0100, subpart 21. The person signing an application is responsible for its contents, regardless of who prepared it.
9.1 Why is a "complete" application important? The process to obtain a permit will not continue until your permit application is complete. A permit application that is "right the first time" will save time. If a permit engineer has to request additional information, your permit could be delayed. By filing a timely and complete application, you may also benefit from the "application shield." Section 5.3.1 in Part 2 of the Guide explains when the application shield applies.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 9-2 9.3 What happens to your application at the MPCA? Figure 9-1 is a flowchart showing the steps of the process to issue an air emission permit for your facility. After you submit a permit application, the MPCA performs two reviews. During the first review, the administrative completeness review, the MPCA checks that your application is signed, uses the MPCA's forms, and has no obvious omissions. The second review is the technical completeness review. This is when the MPCA permit engineer analyzes the content and technical details of your application. The PTE calculations will be reviewed and rule citations checked, among other things. Within 60 days, the MPCA may send a letter telling you if your application is not complete. If the application is not complete, the MPCA will explain what must be added or revised to complete the application. Once the application is complete, the process of issuing your permit starts. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR APPLICATION IS NOT COMPLETE, THE PROCESS STOPS AND YOUR PERMIT WILL BE DELAYED. A complete permit application allows the MPCA permit engineer to continue the process and draft your permit. The permit engineer may then contact you to discuss your application, ask questions, and request other necessary information. The permit engineer also can answer your questions regarding your permit. Drafts of facility permits and some amendments must have a public notice. The public notice announces that the MPCA intends to issue your permit and will accept comments from the public on the draft permit. The public comment period lasts 30 days. If a facility is within 50 miles of a state border, the neighboring state also reviews the draft permit. The permit engineer replies to public comments with a letter. The draft permit may have to be revised based on public comments. Occasionally, the comments indicate a need for more analysis or more public participation. These comments are often those that bring to the MPCA's attention the extent of public concern over a project, that call into question whether rules were properly followed, or if the right data were used. Public meetings or contested case hearings may be held to resolve such issues. The EPA reviews draft air emission permits. For state permits, the EPA review period is 30 days, and occurs at the same time as the public comment period. For Part 70 permits, the EPA has 45 days to comment. This 45-day comment period occurs after the 30-day public comment period. If the EPA has comments that require changes to your draft permit, then your draft permit will be revised. If no comments arise that require changes to the draft permit, your permit is issued. In general, the MPCA will either issue or deny your permit within 18 months from the time your application has passed the technical completeness review.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 9-4 10.0 CASE STUDY -- BLUE OX WOODWORKS A case study has been assembled to show how the concepts in Part 1 fit together. A fictional facility, Blue Ox Woodworks, has been created by the MPCA. This case study will be used in each Part of the Guide. The concepts presented here will show how the forms were completed for the Blue Ox Woodworks' permit application.
10.1 History of Blue Ox Woodworks Otto Walder started Blue Ox Woodworks, a small millwork shop, in 1954. Otto saw a need to provide good quality trim and other milled goods to his neighbors in Central Minnesota. A former dairy farmer, Otto named his new company in memory of his favorite ox, Babe. The original milling operations included saws, planers, shapers, routers and sanders. As much as 20% of the wood was being thrown away as waste, so Otto and his employees began collecting the scrap wood from these operations and burning it in the boiler to heat the building. Much of the scrap collected during the summer is stored outside until it is needed. In 1966, Blue Ox Woodworks added three baghouses to the facility to collect the sawdust generated by the various operations. The sawdust was also burned in the boiler. Otto installed a diesel generator to provide backup electricity in case of power disruptions. In the later 1960s and the early 1970s, Otto replaced all of the original equipment and then added to it. Blue Ox Woodworks' production rose and fell over the years, but the maximum production rate was 460,000 board feet per year. He sold the milled wood directly to construction companies, window manufacturers, and to other small companies who stain, coat, prime and paint the wood before selling it in retail outlets. In the mid-1980s, Otto's daughter, Phyllis, became the day-to-day head of operations at the Blue Ox plant. Phyllis saw an opportunity to increase profits by finishing the millwork internally. In 1988, she installed a spray booth. To handle the variety of coatings, Blue Ox Woodworks installed four spray guns in the booth. Only two of the four guns are ever used at once, so the compressor was sized for two guns. Wall filters in the booth control particulate emissions. A steam-heated dryer is used to dry the finished coating. Solvent vapors from the spray booth and the dryer are directed to and then burned in a thermal oxidizer. When her dad retired in 1990, Phyllis became Blue Ox Woodworks' owner and operator. The plant began to utilize its raw material much more efficiently, and as a result, there was not always enough wood waste to fuel the boiler, particularly in the winter months. In 1991, Phyllis installed a new boiler as a backup, fueled primarily by natural gas, but also able to burn distillate or residual oil.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 10-1 Blue Ox Woodworks now operates two eight-hour shifts per day, five days a week. The plant shuts down for two weeks in December every year. 1997 was a record production year for Blue Ox Woodworks. However, Phyllis was concerned about her limited paint spray booth capacity. Phyllis plans to add an additional spray booth and compressor identical to the current system sometime in 1999. The following information lists emission units at Blue Ox Woodworks. Section 10.3 also includes potential to emit calculations for the facility. You may want to review Appendix 5-A which includes completed facility description and calculation forms for Blue Ox Woodworks.

10.2.1 Boilers Blue Ox Woodworks currently operates a wood-fired boiler (rated at 7.2 million Btu per hour) and a natural gas/oil-fired boiler (rated at 11.5 million Btu per hour). Blue Ox installed the wood-fired boiler when the original building was built in 1954. The wood-fired boiler burns scrap wood and sawdust from the milling operations and creates steam to heat the building and operate the cure oven. The natural gas/oil-fired boiler was installed in 1991 and serves primarily as a backup.

Note: No emissions from storage tanks for diesel fuel and distillate and residual oils.
10.2.2 Milling operations Blue Ox Woodworks operates several milling lines: a saw line, a molding line, a planing line, and a sanding line. The saw line consists of a cutoff saw, two table saws, a resaw, and a ripsaw. The molding line has four molders; the planing line has three planers. The sanding line includes five sanders. Emissions from the milling lines flow through one of three bag filters. Each has an air-to-cloth ratio of 8:1. The rated air flows are 20,000, 40,000 and 65,000 acfm (@ 70 °F). All existing milling equipment was installed between 1969 and 1975. (All of the original equipment was replaced.) The bag filters were also installed during this time.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 10-5 10.2.3 Painting operations The spray booth contains four guns, only two of which can operate simultaneously. (The compressor for the booth will only produce enough pressure for two guns.) The process is airless spray so the transfer efficiency is 45 percent. Each gun is rated at 5 gallons per hour. The coating process uses white paint, sealer, wipe stain, basecoat, and mineral spirits for cleanup. They also use a proprietary paint and stain identified as “paint 1A” and “stain 2A.” The properties of these materials are shown in a table in Section 10.3.4. The booth is equipped with wall filters capable of collecting 90 percent of captured particulate emissions. [The booth is a hood-type design, so not all emissions are captured; 80% of the total particulate matter is captured.] Sixty percent (60%) of the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions flow to a thermal oxidizer that destroys 90 percent of the VOCs it receives. The remaining 40% of the VOC emissions escape into the atmosphere. The thermal oxidizer combusts 5 million Btu per hour of natural gas.

10.2.5 Fugitive dust emissions No fugitive emissions result from woodchip storage piles. The sawdust from the baghouses is stored in an enclosed silo so there are no fugitive emissions.
10.2.6 Insignificant activities • The facility was painted during the last year. • A copier and a laser printer are used in the office portion of the facility. • There are some bathroom vents. • The employees park in a gravel parking lot.
10.3 Blue Ox Woodworks Emission Calculations General Notes: Blue Ox Woodworks has been operating out of compliance with Minnesota's state particulate rule, Standards of Performance for Indirect Heating Equipment (Minnesota Rules 7011.0500 - 7011.0550). To correct the situation, Phyllis is proposing to remove the wood-fired boiler and operate only with the gas/oil-fired boiler. Blue Ox will also propose synthetic minor limits, so they can be issued a non-expiring state permit.

The booth is used to spray stain and varnish, as well as primer (basecoat) and paint. There are 4 guns in booth; however, only 2 guns can be used at a time due to compressors. The potential emissions are the highest emission rates for VOC and particulates given the coatings available.

Phyllis looked at using the Minnesota control equipment performance standard (Minn. R. 7011.0060 - 7011.0080) for the thermal oxidizer and spray filters. The control efficiencies listed in the rule are 57% overall reduction for VOC (includes both capture and control) and 74% overall reduction for PM. The equipment currently obtains 54% overall reduction for VOC and 72% for PM. Phyllis doesn’t think it would be reasonable to make improvements to the efficiencies at this time, or to spend the money to do performance tests as required by the rule, so she decided not to use the Minnesota performance standard in her permit application. (Applicability of this particular standard is at the discretion of the applicant - it can be used to the applicant’s benefit if all conditions can be met. See also the fact sheet entitled “Control Equipment Standards,” attached in Appendix 6-A.)

Clean-up Materials (Mineral Spirits) Since Blue Ox reclaims the solvent used for cleanup, it is difficult to determine exactly what the potential emissions are. By looking at records of how much mineral spirits they purchase in a year and how much they ship out as waste, they can calculate how much is allowed to evaporate in a year. That number can then be scaled up to what it might be if they really operated 8760 hours per year. In 1997, Blue Ox operated 4000 hours, and used the most mineral spirits they ever had: 800 gallons. By multiplying 800 gallons per 4000 hours by 8760 hours per year, and doubling their
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Page 10-18 answer as a safety factor (assuming that they could conceivably use the mineral spirits at twice their normal rate if they weren’t careful), they came up with a quantity of mineral spirits per year.

PAUL, MN 55155-4194 (40 CFR pt. 61) 05/11/98 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR pt. 61)
1) Part 61 NESHAPs were the regulations in existence before the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. They apply only to air emission sources listed in Table C (attached) that emit the pollutants listed. Table C contains:
- a pollutant; - a facility description; - a Minnesota Rules reference; - a Code of Federal Regulation 40 part 61 (40 CFR pt. 61) subpart reference.
2) Read through Table C. If your facility emits any of the listed pollutants, and your facility type, process or equipment matches those associated with the pollutant, a NESHAP may apply to you. To determine if a standard applies to your facility, refer to the corresponding 40 CFR pt. 61 subpart(s) and Minnesota Rules listed and read the requirements in detail.
3) After reviewing the NESHAP reference list and reading the corresponding 40 CFR pt. 61 subpart(s) check one of the following boxes: NO, my facility is not subject to NESHAP requirements. Return to form GI-09 Requirements, and answer “NO” to question 2b. YES, my facility (or a portion of it) is subject to NESHAP requirements. Answer “YES” to question 2b when you return to form GI-09 Requirements.
If you have determined that your facility must comply with federal NESHAP requirements, you are also subject to state NESHAP requirements. Minn. R. ch. 7011 lists Minnesota State NESHAP requirements.
4) Check and complete the following questions (4a, 4b, and 4c). Some NESHAPs apply to an entire mine, plant or shop. Others apply to specific units, like a reactor, valve or vessel. If you check 4c, you must complete a group of questions for each emission unit subject to a NESHAP. Attach additional pages as necessary to identify all emission units subject to NESHAP at your facility. Photocopy each 40 CFR pt. 61 subpart you have listed (except the Asbestos NESHAP), highlight the portions of the subpart that directly applies to your facility, and attach the copies to this application form.
4a) My business is only subject to the NESHAP for the Demolition and Renovation of Asbestos containing structures identified in 40 CFR § 61.145; I do not need an Air Emission Permit. I have contacted the MN Department of Health and the asbestos team at the MN Pollution Control Agency regarding any renovation or demolition projects and have obtained an asbestos abatement permit if necessary. (For more information refer to Minn. Rules 7007.0300, subp. 1.C.)
4b) My entire facility is subject to NESHAP requirements.

MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY AIR QUALITY PERMIT APPLICATION FORM GI-09C 520 LAFAYETTE ROAD REQUIREMENTS: ST. PAUL, MN 55155-4194 NEW SOURCE REVIEW (40 CFR pt. 52) 05/11/98 New Source Review (NSR; 40 CFR pt. 52)
Throughout this form you are asked for the Potential to Emit (PTE) of your facility or of changes to your facility. The PTE values in most cases are defined as the maximum uncontrolled PTE of the emission facility. In some cases, PTE calculations may reflect factors such as control equipment or permit limitations, but ONLY if proof is given that such factors were provisions of a federally enforceable permit issued to the facility.
New Source Review (NSR) regulations may apply to modifications to existing facilities or for the construction of a new facility. There are two kinds of review: one for nonattainment areas and one for attainment areas. For a nonattainment pollutant, if the potential to emit is more than 100 tons per year, New Source Review could apply. For attainment areas, the threshold is 100 or 250 tons per year depending on the type of facility.
This form is rather complex, but addresses a complicated regulatory program. Each item is intended to assist you in the process of determining applicability as easily and quickly as possible. Items 1-3 will help you determine the threshold -- a federally established pollutant level -- for your facility. The next two items, 4 and 5, determine if, based on your current PTE, you are considered a major stationary source. If your facility is not a major source now, item 6 asks if it was major in the past. Item 7 determines if you can accept "synthetic minor" limitations, while item 8 requires you to specify what these limitations would be.
It may be possible for sources that were major to become synthetic minor facilities. Items 9-10 are basic criteria questions that need to be answered. Sources who wish to pursue this option will need to work closely with MPCA staff to determine if the facility does qualify for the synthetic minor status. Items 11, 12, and 13 determine if you constructed a major facility. Item 14 requires a description of each change (physical or operational) made at your facility after it actually began emitting pollutants at a rate higher than your threshold. A detailed description is required for each change, including dates and emission levels through today. If necessary and/or allowed, item 14f requires you to specify "synthetic minor" limitations for just the change. Item 14 must be filled out separately for each change made, requiring duplication of those two pages. Item 15 directs specific sources to contact the MPCA for further guidance. 1) Is your facility defined as one of the following, (Some SIC Code(s) applying to specific categories are given in parentheses):
Coal Cleaning Plants-With Thermal Dryers Kraft Pulp Mills (2611, 2621) Portland Cement Plants (3241) Primary Zinc Smelters (3339) Iron and Steel Mills (332X) Primary Aluminum Ore Reduction Plants (3334) Primary Copper Smelters (3331) Municipal Incinerators Capable of Charging More Than 250 Tons of Refuse per Day Hydrofluoric Acid Plants (2819, 2899) Sulfuric Acid Plants (2819) Nitric Acid Plants (2873) Petroleum Refineries (2911) Lime Plants (3274) Phosphate Rock Processing Plants (1475) Coke Oven Batteries (3312) Sulfur Recovery Plants (2819) Carbon Black Plants (Furnace Process, 2895) Primary Lead Smelters (3339) Fuel Conversion Plants Sintering Plants* Secondary Metal Production Plants (334X) Chemical Process Plants (28XX) Fossil-Fuel Boilers (or combination thereof) totaling Petroleum Storage & Transfer Units, Total Storage more than 250 MMBtu/hr Capacity over 300,000 Barrels Taconite Ore Processing Plants (1011) Glass Fiber Processing Plants Charcoal Production Plants (2819, 2861) Fossil Fuel-Fired Steam Electric Plants of more than 250 MMBtu/hr * Processing of fine grain materials into coarser lumps (performed primarily on ores).
NO, my facility is not classified as one of the 28 sources listed above. Go to item 2. YES, my facility is classified as one of the 28 sources listed above. An air emission source having PTE (potential to emit) more than 100 TPY (tons per year) of any single regulated pollutant is considered a major stationary source. For the rest of this form, 100 TPY is the threshold you must use in answering the questions. Go to item 4.
2) Is your facility located in a nonattainment area (see form GI-01 Facility Information, question 14)? NO. Go to item 3. YES. Check all of the following pollutants that apply:
PM10 SO2 CO
An air emission source having the potential to emit more than 100 TPY of any pollutant(s) checked above, or 250 TPY of any single regulated pollutant not checked above is considered a major stationary source. For the rest of this form, 100 TPY is the threshold for any pollutant(s) checked above, and 250 TPY is the threshold for the remaining regulated pollutants. You must use these values in answering the remaining questions. Go to item 4.
3) I answered NO to items 1 and 2; my facility is not one of the 28 sources listed and my facility is not located in a non- attainment area. An air emission source having the potential to emit of more than 250 TPY of any single regulated pollutant is considered a major stationary source. For the rest of this form, 250 TPY is the threshold you must use in answering the questions. 4) In the boxes below, enter the current PTE (in tons per year) of your entire facility under each regulated pollutant. (“Current PTE” means the PTE of your facility prior to receiving the permit for which you are now applying.)
PM (includes PM10 PM10)SO2 NOX VOC CO Pb Fluorides
183.7 185.2 213.8 28.9 337.7 60.2 0.4 0
Total Reduced reduced sulfur MWC MSW Ozone- Sulfuric sulfur compounds MWC MWC acid landfill depleting Acid Mist H2S (includes (includes organics metals gases gases substances H2S) H2S)
000 0 0 00 0 0
5) Is the current PTE of your facility above the 100/250 TPY threshold for your facility, making your facility a major stationary source? YES. My facility is currently considered a major stationary source, go to question 7. NO. Go to question 6.
6) Since August 7, 1980, has the PTE of your facility ever exceeded your 100/250 TPY threshold value? YES. Go to question 7. NO. My facility is not subject to NSR until I make a qualifying change. Return to form GI-09 Requirements and answer “NO” to question 3b.
[Note: If you do not know what the PTE of your facility has been in the past, it is sufficient for the purposes of this question only to use the following formula to roughly estimate PTE:
(8760 hours/year) x (actual emissions of a pollutant for a given year in tons/year)/(the number of hours of operation for that year).
Again, this formula cannot be used for any other purpose. This is only a screening test, it does not represent the required PTE calculation method for air permitting.
7) Since August 7, 1980, have the actual emissions from your facility ever exceeded the 100/250 TPY threshold value for your facility? YES. Go to item 9. NO. My facility is allowed to accept federally enforceable permit limitations to limit potential emissions to less than a major source (below the threshold). Go to question 8. 8) The actual emissions from your facility have never exceeded the 100/250 TPY threshold established for your facility. Would you be willing to accept federally enforceable permit limitations to limit potential emissions from your facility to less than the 100/250 TPY threshold? NO. Go to item 11. YES. You are required to specify limitations (called synthetic minor limits) for your facility. These limitations will limit your air emissions. This will be dependent on your emission sources and can have some flexibility. Briefly describe what limitations you would be willing to accept and abide by. Refer to the Application General Instructions for guidance in establishing these limitations. Include the specific limits, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting on Form CD-01.

9) Have you removed any equipment from your facility since the actual emissions exceeded the 100/250 TPY threshold? NO. Go to question 11. YES. Go to question 10.
10) Have the actual emissions from the facility remained under the 100/250 TPY threshold for the last two years? NO. Go to question 11. YES. It may be possible to obtain a synthetic minor permit for your facility. Complete the remaining items in this form and contact the MPCA for further guidance as listed in item 15.
11) Did you construct your facility after August 7, 1980? NO. Go to question 14. YES, construction on my facility began on (date) _. The PTE of my facility (in tons per year) when constructed was:
PM (includes PM10 PM10)SO2 NOX VOC CO Pb Fluorides
Total Reduced reduced sulfur MWC MSW Ozone- Sulfuric sulfur compounds MWC MWC acid landfill depleting Acid Mist H2S (includes (includes organics metals gases gases substances H2S) H2S)
12) Are any of the PTE values entered in question 11 greater than the 100/250 TPY threshold for your facility? NO. Go to question 14. YES. Go to question 13. 13) Have the actual emissions for the operations installed during the facility’s construction ever exceeded the 100/250 TPY threshold for any year after the construction date? NO. Go to question 14. YES. My facility was a major source when it was constructed. If a BACT/LAER analysis was not done at the time of construction, the facility may be subject to backward looking NSR (if the analysis was not done at the time of construction but has been done since, it may not be necessary to repeat it). Contact the Permit Technical Advisor at (651)282-5844 or (800)646-6247 for additional guidance. Go to question 14.
14) NSR groups changes made during the same budget or planning period as a single modification. This means that changes need to be grouped together based on budgeting or planning periods and evaluated as one modification to determine if NSR/PSD applies to the changes that have been made.
Items 14a through 14g need to be completed for each modification made at your facility, through the current date (include any modifications you are proposing in this application, too). Begin with the first modification after the PTE of your facility exceeded the 100/250 TPY threshold or the first modification made after August 7, 1980, whichever is later. DO NOT INCLUDE modifications which were authorized by a permit from the MPCA. Duplicate and add additional pages as necessary. (Note: if your facility was under the 100/250 TPY threshold and the first modification you made was over 100/250 TPY, provide the information listed in items 14a, b, c, d, e, and f on a separate sheet of paper.) If you have not modified your facility since meeting the 100/250 TPY threshold, go to form GI-09 Requirements, question 3b, and answer “NO.”
14a) Describe the physical change in or change in method of operation to your facility:

14d) Are the values you entered in item 14c for this modification greater than the values listed in item 14e for each regulated pollutant? NO. This was a minor change, go to question 14g. YES. Go to question 14e.
14e) Beginning with the year entered in item 14b through the current date, did the actual emissions of regulated pollutants resulting only from this modification ever exceed the values listed in the following table? Threshold Pollutant Effective Date (tons/year) PM10 15 July 31, 1987 PM 25 August 7, 1980 SO2 40 August 7, 1980 NOX 40 August 7, 1980 VOC 40 August 7, 1980 CO 100 August 7, 1990 Pb 0.6 August 7, 1980 Fluorides 3 August 7, 1980 Sulfuric Acid Mist 7 August 7,. 1980 H2S 10 August 7, 1980 Total reduced sulfur 10 August 7, 1980 Reduced sulfur compounds 10 August 7, 1980 MWC organics 3.5 x 10-6 August 12, 1991 MWC metals 15 August 12, 1991 MWC acid gases 40 August 12, 1991 MSW landfill gases 50 March 12, 1996 Ozone depleting substances 100 March 19, 1998 (EPA memo)
YES. This modification is subject to backward looking NSR, unless a BACT/LAER analysis was done at the time of modification. (If analysis was not done at the time of modification, but has been done since then, it may not be necessary to repeat it.) Contact the Permit Technical Advisor at (651)282-5844 or (800)646-6247 for additional guidance. NO. Go to question 14f.
14f) The actual emissions from this modification have never exceeded the levels listed in item 14e. Are you willing to accept federally enforceable permit limitations to limit the potential emissions increase of the modification to less than those levels? NO. Go to item 14g. YES. You are required to specify limitations (called “synthetic minor” limits) for this change. These limits will limit your air emissions to below the levels listed in item 14e. This will be dependent on your emissions sources and can have some flexibility. Briefly describe what limitations you would be willing to accept and abide by. Refer to the Application General Instructions for guidance in establishing these limitations. Include the specific limits, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting on Form CD-01.
(DUPLICATE THIS FORM OR ADD EXTRA PAGES AS NEEDED)
Go to item 14g. 14g) Repeat item 14 until each non-permitted physical change or change in method of operation to your facility has been identified, duplicating item 14 as necessary. 15) It may be possible to accept synthetic minor permit limitations if your actuals have exceeded the threshold levels, if you have removed equipment and the actual emissions for the last two calendar years of operation have remained under the threshold levels. You should contact the MPCA for more guidance on whether your facility qualifies for synthetic minor limitations. If you have triggered NSR/PSD levels and cannot or choose not to accept synthetic minor limitations, you need to check YES to question 3b on Form GI-09 Requirements. If your facility has received permits for modifications or completed NSR/PSD reviews as requested by the MPCA, you should work with MPCA staff to determine the compliance status of your facility regarding NSR/PSD and establishing limits. MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY AIR QUALITY PERMIT APPLICATION FORM GI-09D 520 LAFAYETTE ROAD REQUIREMENTS: NSPS (40 CFR pt. 60) ST. PAUL, MN 55155-4194 05/11/98
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS, New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR pt. 60)
1) NSPS are federal rules that define limits, testing and monitoring for certain specific emission units. These standards are proposed and promulgated in the Federal Register and published in the Code of Federal Regulations, title 40 part 60 (40 CFR pt. 60). Table D lists the standards promulgated through April 1998. Table D may not be complete if a new NSPS has been promulgated since this form was last revised. The table contains:
- a brief emission source description; - a corresponding 40 CFR pt. 60 subpart reference; - an effective date for all performance standards promulgated as of April 1998.
[Please note: the best way to keep up-to-date on NSPS regulations is through the EPA’s Web page (www.epa.gov) or the Federal Register since there can be a significant time lag between the date when a standard is proposed or promulgated and when it is finally published in the Code of Federal Regulations.]
2) Please read through the emission sources in Table D. If you have modified (as defined in 40 CFR § 60.14), reconstructed (as defined in 40 CFR § 60.15) or constructed the described emission source on or after the effective date listed in the table, your facility may be subject to the requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60. Generally, reconstruction means that the cost of a repair exceeds 50 percent of what it would cost to install a new emission unit. If you have had an extensive and expensive repair, it may count as a reconstruction.
If you know or suspect standards may apply to your facility you must refer to the corresponding 40 CFR pt. 60 subpart and read the requirements in detail to make a final determination. Note: the general provisions found in 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. A, apply to all facilities subject to any other NSPS requirements.
3) After you review the list of sources subject to NSPS and read any applicable 40 CFR pt. 60 subparts, check one of the following boxes: NO, my facility is not subject to NSPS. Return to Form GI-09 Requirements, and answer “NO” to question 5d. YES, my facility is subject to NSPS.
4) The following page lists information needed to identify your facility's emission sources subject to NSPS. Complete the group of questions for all emission equipment subject to NSPS, attaching additional pages if necessary. Photocopy each 40 CFR pt. 60 subpart you have listed and highlight the portions of each subpart that directly apply to your facility, including the general provisions found in Subpart A. Attach the copies to this application form.
The MPCA has reprinted Subpart A and some additional NSPS regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations. The available regulations are starred in Table D. To obtain copies, contact the Permit Document Coordinator at (651)282-5843.

PAUL, MN 55155-4194 05/11/98
Compliance Assurance Monitoring (40 CFR pt. 64)
The CAM rule applies to facilities that operate emission control devices subject to federally enforceable regulations promulgated prior to 1990. These regulations are not limited to EPA regulations, but include any regulation that pertains to the Part 70 operating permit. This includes New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), and Minnesota Rules contained in the State Implementation Plan. To determine applicability, source owners need to answer the following questions pertaining to individual emissions units: • Is the unit located at a major source required to obtain a Part 70 permit? • Is the unit subject to an emission limitation or standard which is specified in a rule or regulation? • Is a control device used to achieve compliance with that limitation or standard? • Are the potential uncontrolled emissions of the controlled pollutant from the unit at least 100 percent of the major source threshold amount? (As of the date of this fact sheet, “major source threshold amount” as it applies to Minnesota, means 100 tons per year of particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), or lead; 10 tons per year of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP); or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. The levels may be different in current or future nonattainment areas. Refer to 40 CFR § 70.2 under the definition of “major source” for further detail.) CAM applies if the answers to all of these questions is “yes.”
DEADLINES FOR SUBMITTALS Those emissions units with the potential to emit a regulated air pollutant equal to or greater than the major source threshold amount (after effects of control equipment are considered) shall make the required CAM submittals as follows: 1. If the initial Part 70 permit application has not been submitted by April 20, 1998, the owner or operator shall submit CAM information as part of the initial application. 2. On or after April 20, 1998, the owner or operator shall submit CAM information as part of any application for a major amendment to a Part 70 permit, but only with respect to those emissions units for which the proposed amendment is applicable. The owner or operator shall submit any information not submitted under the above deadlines as part of the application for the reissuance of the Part 70 permit. For those emissions units where the potential to emit a regulated air pollutant is below the major source threshold amount after control equipment is taken into account, the information required by the CAM rule shall be submitted with the next application for reissuance of a Part 70 permit. It is not anticipated that Minnesota facilities subject to the CAM rule will be required to take any steps to implement CAM until reissuance of their Part 70 permit, unless they apply for a major amendment to their existing Part 70 permit.
HOW CAM WORKS The Permittee must submit the required information to the MPCA. The CAM submittal should include: • information on indicators (gauges, meters, or other devices used to monitor operating parameters of control equipment) • indicator ranges, or the process by which indicators are to be established • performance criteria • justification for the proposed monitoring • control device operating data recorded during a performance test, supplemented by engineering assessments or manufacturer’s recommendations to justify the proposed indicator range • a test plan and schedule for obtaining data if performance test data are not available • an implementation plan, if monitoring requires installation, testing or other activities prior to implementation The next step is review and approval by the MPCA. If additional information or corrections are required, the MPCA will notify the Permittee that the CAM submittal must be revised or supplemented. If the CAM submittal is determined to be complete and acceptable, the MPCA will establish permit terms for the affected emissions unit. After approval and incorporation of the CAM requirements into the permit, owners and operators of affected units must implement the monitoring upon issuance of the permit, unless the permit specifies a later date.
EXEMPTIONS The CAM rule does not apply to: 1. Units subject to federal regulations issued after 1990. In situations where some portions of a facility operate control devices in order to comply with emission standards issued prior to 1990, only those portions of the facility must comply with the requirements of the CAM rule. 2. Situations where continuous compliance monitoring is already specified in an operating permit. The CAM rule exempts the Permittee from additional monitoring requirements and directs the Permittee to use the continuous compliance monitoring data to fulfill the CAM rule monitoring and certification requirements. 3.

Note: Depending on the type of waste combustor you operate, you may be instructed to fill out one or more of the following forms:
WC-01 -- Required if you determine that your waste combustor requires a permit. WC-02 -- Required if you install/operate a Class IV waste combustor at a hospital. WC-03 -- Required if you do not met the stack height requirements of Minn. R. 7011.1235.
If after reading through the following section, you determine that you are required to fill out one or more of the WC forms, contact the Air Quality Permit Document Coordinator.
5a) Do you operate a waste combustor?
“Waste Combustor” means any emissions unit or emission facility where mixed municipal solid waste, solid waste, or refuse-derived fuel is combusted, and includes incinerators, energy recovery facilities, or other combustion devices. A metals recovery incinerator is a waste combustor. A combustion device combusting primarily wood, or at least 70 percent fossil fuel and wood in combination with up to 30 percent papermill wastewater treatment plant sludge is not a waste combustor. A soil treatment facility, paint burn-off oven, wood heater, or residential fireplace is not a waste combustor.
“Wood” is defined as: wood, wood residue, bark, or any derivative fuel or residue thereof, in any form, including sawdust, sander dust, wood chips, wood scraps, slabs, millings, shavings, and processed pellets made from wood and other forest residues.
A facility that is co-firing RDF or MSW at rates less than 30 percent by weight is not regulated as a waste combustor, but is regulated as a boiler.
Yes, I operate a waste combustor. Answer questions 5b through 5e to determine whether you are allowed to continue to operate, and what type of permit the waste combustor requires. Allowed waste combustors must obtain an air emissions permit. No, the facility equipment is not subject to this rule. Go to question 6.
5b) Is the waste combustor solely a crematory, pathological or an animal carcass incinerator?
Yes. It is subject to standards of performance in 7011.1215, subp. 3. The waste combustor is an insignificant activity that does not need to be reported. Go to question 6. No, the facility equipment is not subject to this rule. Go to question 6. 5c) Is the design capacity of the waste combustor equal to or greater than 3 million Btu/hr?
“Design capacity” means: the hourly throughput of the waste combustor unit based on heat input from solid waste to the combustion system as stated by the manufacturer or designer, based on accepted design and engineering practices. For a non-continuous feed system, design capacity means the total heat input from solid waste per cycle.
If you don’t have a manufacturer’s design capacity in terms of heat input, you may estimate heat input by the following formula:
Hin = (HHV) x (R)
Where: Hin = Heat input rate HHV = heat value of waste R = waste input rate, in lb/hr, as defined by the manufacturer Commercial/Retail/Institutional Wastes = 7000 Btu/lb General Industrial Wastes = 9000 Btu/lb Medical/Infectious Wastes = 10,000 Btu/lb
Yes, the waste combustor has a design capacity of 3 million Btu/hr or greater. The waste combustor is subject to the standards of performance applicable to waste combustors. There are also additional permit application requirements for this unit, as described in Minn. R. 7007.0501, or 7011.1210. Complete form WC-01. No, the heat input rate is below 3 million Btu/hr. Go to question 5d.
5d) Is the waste combustor used as a metal recover incinerator?
“Metals recovery incinerator” means a furnace or incinerator used primarily to recover precious and non-precious metals by burning the combustible fraction from waste. An aluminum sweat furnace is not a metals recovery incinerator.
Yes. The waste combustor is subject to the standards of performance applicable to waste combustors. There are also additional permit application requirements for this unit, as described in Minn. R. 7007.0501, or 7011.1210. Complete form WC-01. No. Go to question 5e.
5e) Is the waste combustor located at a hospital?
Yes. The waste combustor is subject to the standards of performance applicable to Class IV waste combustors. There are also additional permit application requirements for this unit, as described in Minn. R. 7007.0501, or 7011.1210. Complete form WC-02 if the waste combustor will comply with all of the design, operating, and standards of performance in parts 7011.1201 to 7011.1290. Otherwise, an air emissions permit must be issued, and you must complete for WC-01. [Please Note: There are federal Standards of Performance that must also be met for new sources (see Form GI-09D), and the state will be adopting more stringent standards for existing incinerators by December of 1998.] No, the waste combustor is not located at a hospital. The operation of this waste combustor was banned after January 30, 1996. Your compliance plan must contain specific steps to cease operation of this waste combustor.

TABLE I: INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETERMINING YOUR PARTICULATE LIMIT
Minnesota has a State rule for the concentration of particulate matter that may be in your exhaust stream. The unit of the standard is grains per dry standard cubic foot. You need to convert your actual exhaust flow to dry standard cubic feet per minute to find the emission limit from the rule.
Sources subject to this rule are required to meet the emission limits established at all times. These limits will vary depending on operating conditions. To determine compliance at any point in time (i.e. for a stack test), follow the steps below:
1. Determine the amount of dry material (subtract any water or moisture content) in pounds per hour that is processed by your equipment.
2. Use Table I.1 to determine your allowed emission rate based on process weight rate. If your process weight rate falls between two values on the table, interpolate or extrapolate using the equation:
æ P ö 0.62 E3.59=×ç ÷ for P ≤ 60,000 lbs/hour; and: è 2000ø
æ P ö 0.16 E1=×731. ç ÷ for P > 60,000 lbs/hour è 2000ø
where: E = emission rate in lbs/hour; and P = process weight rate in lbs/hour
3. If your process equipment is vented to the atmosphere, determine the airflow through your stack. Correct to 68 F and 14.7 psi, and correct to remove any moisture in the gas stream to obtain the air flow in dry standard cubic feet per minute (dscfm).
4. Use Table I.2 to determine your allowed concentration in grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf). Interpolate using the equation:
− c=× 1.7627 V 0.3241
where: c = concentration in gr/dscf, V = gas volume in dscfm
5. Determine which of the two emission rates calculated above is less stringent. To convert a concentration (calculated in step 4) to an emission rate (calculated in step 2), use the following equation:
æ 60 ö E=c×× V ç ÷ è 7000ø where: E = emission rate in lbs/hour; c = concentration in gr/dscf, V = gas volume in dscfm Table I.1 Table I.2 Process Rate (lbs/hour) Emission Rate Source Gas Volume Concentration (lbs/hour) (dscfm) (gr/dscf)

800,000 0.021 1,000,000 or more 0.020
Regardless of the allowable emission rates calculated from Tables I.1 and I.2, no process equipment is allowed to emit more than 0.30 grains per standard cubic foot of exhaust gas.

R. 7007.0350, subp. 3).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 1 attainment area - geographic area considered to have air quality as good as or better than the national ambient air quality standards as defined in the Clean Air Act. An area can be an attainment area for one pollutant and a nonattainment area for others (see nonattainment area). begin actual construction - start of on-site physical construction or other activities in preparation for a planned modification to a facility. Examples include, but are not limited to, installation of building supports and foundations, laying of underground pipework, and construction of permanent storage structures (Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 3a). Best Available Control Technology (BACT) - emission limitation based on the maximum degree of emission reduction that can be achieved through application of production processes and available methods, systems and techniques while also considering energy, environmental and economic impacts, and other costs. bottleneck - physical or operational limitation that is part of the design of an emission facility or emission unit. Bottlenecks prevent operation of equipment at 100% of capacity, and can be considered in potential to emit (PTE) calculations when determining if a permit is needed. Clean Air Act - federal law that regulates air pollution in the United States. Clean Air Act Amendments - revisions made in 1990 to the Federal Clean Air Act. carbon monoxide - colorless, odorless gas that is toxic because of its tendency to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Code of Federal Regulations - regulations published by the Executive departments and agencies of the federal government.

Title 40 of the CFR contains all federal rules and regulations relating to Protection of the Environment. completeness review administrative - MPCA review confirming that a permit application is submitted on standard forms and is properly organized. technical - MPCA review confirming that the technical details of a permit application are complete and accurate. compliance agreement - a negotiated settlement between a facility and the MPCA that includes a schedule of corrective action (see stipulation agreement). compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) - the methods used to determine continuous compliance with standards and limitations that apply to a facility. compliance certification - portion of a permit application that outlines a facility’s compliance status for all air quality rules and regulations that apply. A responsible official must certify that the compliance certification is accurate and complete (see responsible official). Compliance certifications are also required on an annual basis after the permit is issued. compliance plan - plan in an air emission permit that shows how a facility will be in compliance with the air quality rules and regulations that apply to the facility. A compliance plan includes specific monitoring, record keeping, reporting, and operation and maintenance procedures that must be followed during the life of a permit.
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 2 compliance schedule - negotiated agreement between a facility and a government agency that specifies dates and procedures by which a facility will reduce emissions, and thereby, comply with a regulation. construction - any fabrication, erection, or installation of an emission facility, emission unit or stationary source (Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 5; also see begin actual construction). construction permit - permit to construct (not operate) a source (see installation and operation permit). continuous compliance - compliance status of a facility when monitoring data show the facility to be operating within emission limits and standards throughout a specified reporting period. corrective action - activities undertaken to correct air quality violation(s). criteria pollutants - six pollutants (ozone, carbon monoxide, total suspended particulates, sulfur dioxide, lead, and nitrogen oxide) determined by the US EPA to be hazardous to human health. The term "criteria pollutants" comes from the requirement that EPA must describe the characteristics and potential health and welfare effects of these pollutants. It is on the basis of these criteria that air quality standards are established. dscfm - dry standard cubic feet per minute. A measurement of the volume of air per unit of time exhausted from an emission unit or emission facility (see acfm), corrected to account for the temperature and moisture content being different from "standard conditions." deviation - departure from permit limits or conditions that may or may not endanger human health or the environment. Facilities are required to report deviations in their air permits within schedules contained in Minn. R. 7007.0800, subp. 6. dispersion modeling - analysis of a facility's air emission data using computer programs to estimate the affects of emissions on the surrounding air. emission - pollution discharged into the atmosphere from smokestacks, other vents, and surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities. emission facility - any group of activities and/or equipment that can cause pollutants to be released into the air. Emission facilities are made up of emission units and are contained within stationary sources (Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 10). emission factor - number that describes the relationship between the amount of raw material processed in an emission unit and the amount of pollution produced from the emission unit. For example, an emission factor for a gas-fired boiler would be pounds of NOx produced per million cubic feet of gas burned. emission limit - restriction on the amount of a particular pollutant that can be released from an emission unit or emission facility over a given period of time. Emission limits are commonly expressed as a concentration (grains per dry standard cubic foot) or rate (pounds per hour). emission point - where air pollutants are emitted to the outside air from a facility (e.g., a stack or vent). One or more emission units may exhaust at an emission point. emission source - (see emission unit).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 3 emission thresholds - levels of emission rates (pounds/hour or tons/year) above which certain rules or permit requirements apply. emission trading - EPA policy that allows a facility to increase and decrease emissions of the same pollutant among several emission units provided that total facility emissions do not increase. Emission trades cannot result in a Title I modification or violate any applicable requirement (see operational flexibility). emission unit - an identifiable piece of equipment or process that emits air pollution. Examples include a boiler, a coal storage pile, a parts washer or any activity or equipment that can cause pollutants to be released. enforcement waiver - in some cases, protection from potential enforcement actions for not holding a permit in the past for facilities that should have had one. Environment Assessment Worksheet (EAW) - tool of environmental review. It may be mandatory, meaning the project falls into a category specified in Minnesota rules, or it may be ordered when facts indicate the project "may have the potential for significant environmental effects." An EAW is required by Minnesota rules when the construction or modification of a stationary source results in an increase of 100 tons per year or more of a single air pollutant, after pollution control equipment is considered, or under any of the other conditions listed under Minn. R. 4410.4300. The EAW process typically takes six months to complete. Environment Impact Statement (EIS) - the more intensive part of environmental review. An EIS is not always required, but is mandatory under the conditions listed in Minn. R. 4410.4400. The EIS is required when the project is such that it is inevitable that it will have some impact on the environment. The EIS process typically takes 9-12 months to complete. environmental review - process that provides information to units of government on the environmental impacts of a project before approvals or permits are issued. It creates the opportunity to anticipate and correct potential adverse affects on the environment due to a project (see Environmental Assessment Worksheet and Environmental Impact Statement). fugitive emissions - emissions that are not and cannot be contained or collected and emitted through a stack or vent. Examples are unpaved roads and outdoor storage piles. The determination of whether an emission is fugitive is often made on a case-by-case basis. (Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 11c) general permit - permit for a class or category of facilities. gr/dscf - grains per dry standard cubic foot. A unit of measurement of the concentration of a pollutant in flue or exhaust gas. There are 7000 grains in a pound. Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) - group of pollutants regulated by the US EPA, other than the six criteria pollutants, that scientists believe have the potential to cause adverse environmental or health effects. insignificant activities - activities that do not require permitting.

MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 4 insignificant modification - constructing or beginning an activity or emission unit that is on the insignificant activities list, or a modification that is not on the insignificant list but results in an increase less than the thresholds listed in the rules (Minn. R. 7007.1250). installation and operation permit - permit issued by the state that authorizes the installation of new equipment or the modification of existing equipment. This type of permit is issued to a facility that lacks a valid total facility permit, but submitted a timely application under the current permit program. intermittent compliance - compliance status of a facility when monitoring data shows the facility to be operating within emission limits and standards for part of a reporting period. In contrast, if a facility is in compliance for an entire reporting period, the facility is in continuous compliance ( continuous compliance). lead - heavy metal that is hazardous to human health when breathed or swallowed. Its use in gasoline, paints, and plumbing compounds has been sharply restricted or eliminated by federal laws and regulations (see criteria pollutants). Letter of Warning (LOW) - enforcement tool used by the MPCA for alleged minor violations; generally requires corrective action but no penalties. listed control equipment - control equipment that is listed in the Minnesota performance standard for control equipment (Minn. R. 7011.0070). Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) - under the Clean Air Act this is the rate of emissions that reflects: (a) the most stringent emission limitation contained in a State Implementation Plan for a facility, unless the owner or operator of a facility can demonstrate that the limitation is not achievable; or (b) the most stringent emissions limitation achieved in practice, whichever is more stringent. major permit amendment - amendment to an air emission permit that cannot be made under the minor or moderate amendment provisions of the rules. (Minn. R. 7007.1500) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) - document that outlines information about a chemical substance, including ingredients, health and environmental hazards, flammability, safety precautions, etc. MSDSs for all chemical substances are available from the supplier of the material. Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) - emissions limitations based on the best demonstrated control technology or practices to be applied to major sources emitting one or more of the federally listed hazardous pollutants. minor permit amendment - amendment to an air emission permit that allows a modification that results in an emissions increase below the levels described in Minn. R. 7007.1450, subp. 2, with the exceptions that are found in Minn. R. 7007.1450. moderate permit amendment - amendment to an air emission permit that allows a modification that results in an emissions increase greater than the levels described in Minn. R. 7007.1450, subp. 2, but that does not require a major permit amendment (Minn. R. 7007.1450).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 5 modification - any physical or operational change at an emission unit or emission facility or stationary source (not allowed by any existing permit) that can cause the amount of pollutants released to increase, either at the specific unit being changed, or elsewhere in the facility. Also any Title I modification. Routine maintenance, repair, and replacement are not considered modifications (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 15). National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) - emissions standards set by EPA for air pollutants not covered by NAAQS that may cause an increase in deaths or in serious irreversible or incapacitating illness. New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) - uniform national EPA air emission and water effluent standards that limit the amount of pollution allowed from new sources or from existing sources that have been modified. New Source Review (NSR) - federal program that contains the Nonattainment Area and Prevention of Significant Deterioration programs and that applies to certain facilities with the potential to emit air pollution of 100 or 250 tons per year. nitrogen oxides (NOX) - Oxides of nitrogen (except nitrous oxide) that are regulated because they can cause lung and eye irritation, can contribute to the formation of acid rain, and react in the atmosphere to form ozone and smog (see criteria pollutants). nonattainment area - geographic area that does not meet one or more of the NAAQS for the criteria pollutants designated in the Clean Air Act. Notice of Violation (NOV) - enforcement tool used by the MPCA as a formal notice issued for alleged violations; requires corrective action but no penalties. opacity - amount of light obscured by particulate pollution in the air (e.g., clear window glass has zero opacity, a brick wall has 100 percent opacity). Opacity is used as an indicator of changes in performance of particulate matter pollution control systems. operating permit - permit to operate a source. operational flexibility - provisions in the Minnesota permit rule that allow a facility to make certain changes without obtaining a permit amendment. In order to qualify, the facility would have had to request these changes in their total facility permit application. (See alternative operating scenarios and emission trading.) ozone - at ground level, ozone is a noxious pollutant and is the major component of smog. The source of ozone is the chemical reaction of VOCs and NOX. Health effects of ozone are breathing problems, reduced lung function, asthma, eye irritation, stuffy nose, and reduced resistance to colds and other infections. Environmental effects of ozone can damage plants and trees. Smog also causes reduced visibility (see criteria pollutants). Part 70 - U.S. EPA's interpretation of Title V of the 1990 Clean air Act Amendments, outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR 70. Part 70 permit - air emission permit issued under Minn R. 7007.0200, and 40 CFR 70. particulate matter - fine liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes or smog found in air or emissions. (see PM10).
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 6 performance test - the quantification of emissions or the determination of the physical, chemical, or aesthetic properties of those emissions from an emission unit (Minn. R. 7017.2005, subp. 4). permit amendment - document issued by the MPCA to change conditions in a total facility permit. A permit amendment may reflect a physical change or a change in the permit requirements. permit rule method - calculation technique used to quantify changes in emissions due to a physical change. This method is used only when the change is not a Title I modification. Minn. R. 7007.1200 describes the permit rule method. permit shield - condition in a permit stating that if the terms of the permit are complied with, the facility will be considered to be in compliance with the applicable rule or regulation. The permit shield only applies if and where the permit specifically states that it applies (Minn. R. 7007.1800).
PM10 - standard for measuring the amount of solid or liquid matter suspended in the atmosphere. Refers to the amount of particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter. The smaller PM10 particles penetrate to the deeper portions of the lung, affecting sensitive population groups such as children and people with respiratory diseases. (see criteria pollutants) portable facility - emission facility capable of being easily moved, e.g., an asphalt plant. portable source - emission source that is capable of being easily moved; e.g., a diesel generator or auxiliary power unit. potential emissions - (see potential to emit) potential to emit (PTE) - maximum amount of a pollutant that a source is capable of emitting, assuming the source runs at full capacity 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. (Minn. R. 7005.0100, subp. 35a). Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) - US EPA program that requires air emission permits to restrict emissions for new or modified sources in places where air quality meets primary and secondary ambient air quality standards. PSD is the part of NSR that applies in attainment areas. responsible official - individual at a facility who is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of a permit application. A responsible official is also required to certify the facility’s compliance status in the permit application and on an annual basis after the permit is issued (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 21; see compliance certification). rolling average - sometimes used as a calculation method for showing compliance with a permit limit. For example, to calculate the "12 month rolling average" for operating hours, each month you would total the operating hours for the 12 months immediately prior to the current month, and divide by 12. rolling sum - sometimes used as a calculation method for showing compliance with a permit limit. For example, to calculate the "12 month rolling sum" for operating hours, each month you would add together the operating hours for the 12 months immediately prior to the current month. (This is very similar to the rolling average, but usually a little easier to use.)
MPCA Air Quality Permits Guide Part 1: Defining Your Facility -- Revision 1, September 1998 Glossary - 7 SIC code - Standard Industrial Classification code. The SIC code is a numerical indicator of the primary type of activity at a business. For example, 5153 is a grain elevator; 2951 is an asphalt plant; etc. The first two digits indicate the broad category, the second two digits are more industry-specific. significant level - thresholds for specific regulated pollutants used to determine if a modification is major as defined in New Source Review rules. Modifications that are major must undergo further review. state permit - permit issued under Minn. R. 7007.0250. This is a permit for a source that is not a major source, but still needs a permit under Minnesota Rules (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 24). stationary source - place or object from which pollutants are released and which does not move around. Stationary sources include power plants, gas stations, incinerators, etc. stipulation agreement - a negotiated settlement between a facility and the MPCA that includes a schedule of corrective action and a penalty for past noncompliance (see compliance agreement). sulfur dioxide (SO2) - heavy, pungent, colorless, gaseous air pollutant formed primarily by industrial fossil fuel combustion processes (see criteria pollutants). synthetic minor limit - federally enforceable operating or emissions limitations accepted by a permit applicant that limits a facility’s PTE and makes the facility a minor source under Part 70 or New Source Review regulations. synthetic minor permit - air emission permit that contains one or more synthetic minor limits. Title I - refers to Title I of the federal Clean Air Act, which protects ambient air quality. Title I programs include Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment Area New Source Review; New Source Performance Standards; and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. Title I condition - permit condition that is based on a requirement of Title I of the Clean Air Act (NSR, NSPS, NESHAPs). This includes conditions required under PSD and Nonattainment Area programs, those that enable a source to avoid becoming subject to PSD or Nonattainment Area programs, and those required for achieving or maintaining NAAQS. Permit requirements set under Title I are permanent requirements (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 26). Title I modification- any change that is considered a modification under Title I of the Clean Air Act (PSD and Nonattainment Area, NSPS, HAPs). (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 27) Title III - Refers to Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 targeting hazardous air pollutants; Title III defines the Hazardous Air Pollutants and describes how the standards will be developed. Title V - section of the Clean Air Act that covers the operating permit program. total facility permit - air emission permit issued for the entire source. volatile organic compounds (VOC) - any organic compound that participates in smog-forming reactions except for those designated by the EPA Administrator as having negligible photochemical reactivity (see criteria pollutants).
