IN THE MATTER OF:

R75~5

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

TO CHAPTER

2,

)

R74~2

PART II, SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS

PROPOSED ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Goodman):

It has come to the Board~sattention, through notice of a

proposed rule by USEPA

(44 F.R,

76308),

that there are some

inconsistencies due to typographical errors

in the Board~s

Order of December 14,

1978,

Rule 204(e) (4),

line

10, contains

a reference to “previous Rule 204(e),,.”

The inclusion of the

letter

“e”

is a typographical error;

the phrase should read

“previous Rule 204,

.“

This is apparent from the beginning

language of Rule 204(e)(4):

“No owner or operator of a fuel

combustion emission source whose sulfur dioxide emission

limitation

is determined by Rule 204(c)(1)(B),..”

Since Rule

204(c)(1)(B)

replaces prior 204(e) and prior 204(c)(1)(B)

for

smaller sources, the reference to “previous Rule 204(e)”

is

inconsistent with the introductory language quoted above,

Rule 204(e)(4), by its explicit introductory language,

applies to 204(c)(1)(B),

To allay fears that a source governed

by 204(c)(1)(B) would not read that far in the Rules, the

Board in this order adds a reference to the language of

204(c)(1)(B)

alerting sources that 204(e) (4) exists.

Small

“grandfathered” sources,

i.e.,

sources electing to

meet the previous emission limitation under 204(e) (2), are

subject to 204(e)(4) through 204(c)(1)(B)(ii),

Large

(greater

than 250 million BTU/hr, heat input)

“grandfathered”

sources

were inadvertently omitted from 204(e)(4);

the Board corrects

this today.

It is the Order of the Board that the following corrections

he made to the Board Order of December 14,

1978:

(1)

Rule

204(c)(1)(B)(i)

of Chapter

2 shall read as

follows:

“6,8 pounds of sulfur dioxide per million

btu of actual heat input, provided such

owner or operator complies with all applic~

able provisions

of Rule 204(e) (4)

of this

Part,

or”

(2)

Rule 204(e)(4)

of Chapter shall read as follows:

37—367

---

—2—

‘(4) No owner or operator of a fuel combustion

emission source whose sulfur dioxide emission

limitation is determined by Rule 204(c)(1)(’B),

Rule 204(e)(1), or Rule 204(e)(2) shall cause

or allow the total emissions of sulfur dioxide

into the atmosphere from all fuel combustion

emission sources owned or operated by such

person and located within a 1 mile radius

(1.6

1Cm) from the center point of

any

such

fuel combustion source to exceed the level

of sulfur dioxide emissions allowed under the

previous Rule 204 (effective April 14, 1972

until

December

14, 1978) without first obtain-

ing

a

new

operating

permit

from

the

Agency.

The

application

for

a

new

operating

permit

shall

include

a

demonstration

that

such

total

emissions will not violate any applicable PSD

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Werner
