    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST: The agency has determined that amendments of these rules will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A statement of estimated regulatory costs (SERC) has not been prepared by the agency. The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or, if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The Department has determined that the amendments to these rules will not increase regulatory costs for any entity because it updates the rules to ensure that existing permit exemptions are authorized and reduces the restrictions for permitted relocatable sources. Any person who wishes to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative, must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

    62-210.300 Permits Required.

    Unless exempted from permitting pursuant to this rule or Rule 62-4.040, F.A.C., the owner or operator of any facility or emissions unit which emits or can reasonably be expected to emit any air pollutant shall obtain appropriate authorization from the Department prior to undertaking any activity at the facility or emissions unit for which such authorization is required. The Department grants authorization to conduct such activities by individual air permit or by air general permit. Activities requiring authorization by individual air construction permit are addressed at subsection 62-210.300(1), F.A.C., and activities requiring authorization by individual air operation permit are addressed at subsection 62-210.300(2), F.A.C. Authorization by air general permit is addressed at subsection 62-210.300(4), F.A.C. All emission limitations, controls, and other requirements imposed by any individual air permit shall be at least as stringent as any limitations and requirements contained in or enforceable under the State Implementation Plan (SIP) or Designated Facility Plan. Except as provided at Rule 62-213.460, F.A.C., being authorized to construct, operate, or undertake any other activity by individual air permit or air general permit does not relieve the owner or operator of a facility or emissions unit from complying with any emission limiting standards or other requirements of the air pollution rules of the Department or any other such requirements under federal, state, or local law.

    (1) through (2) No change.

    (3) Exemptions from Permitting. Except as otherwise provided herein, an owner or operator shall not be required to obtain an air construction permit or non-Title V air operation permit, or to use an air general permit pursuant to Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C., for any facility, emissions unit, or pollutant-emitting activity that satisfies the applicable permitting exemption criteria of paragraph 62-210.300(3)(a) or (b), F.A.C., or has been exempted from permitting pursuant to Rule 62-4.040, F.A.C. Failure of a facility, emissions unit, or activity to satisfy the exemption criteria of paragraph 62-210.300(3)(a) or (b), F.A.C., does not preclude such facility, emissions unit, or activity from being considered for exemption pursuant to Rule 62-4.040, F.A.C. Notwithstanding the above, no emissions unit or activity shall be exempt from the requirement to obtain an air construction permit or non-Title V air operation permit, or to use an air general permit pursuant to Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C., if it would be subject to any unit-specific limitation or requirement, unless compliance with such limitation or requirement is specifically listed as a condition of exemption. Furthermore, no new, reconstructed, or modified emissions unit or activity shall be exempt from the requirement to obtain an air construction permit if its emissions would contribute to a major modification or to any modification that would be a major modification but for the use, in whole or in part, of the baseline actual-to-projected actual applicability test in Rule 62-212.400, F.A.C. An emissions unit or pollutant-emitting activity exempt from the requirement to obtain an air construction permit shall not be exempt from the permitting requirements of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C., if it is contained within a Title V source or if its emissions, in combination with the emissions of other emission units and activities at the facility, would cause the facility to be classified as a Title V source. Exemption from the requirement to obtain an air construction permit or non-Title V air operation permit, or to use an air general permit pursuant to Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C., does not relieve the owner or operator of a facility or emissions unit from complying with any limitation or requirement applicable to such facility or emissions unit.

    (a) Categorical and Conditional Exemptions. Except as otherwise provided at subsection 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., above, the following facilities, emissions units, and pollutant-emitting activities shall be exempt from any requirement to obtain an air construction permit or non-Title V air operation permit, or to use an air general permit pursuant to Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C.

For purposes of this provision, a site is any and all locations on one (1) or more contiguous or adjacent properties which are under the control of the same person (or persons under common control), except that, in the case of a linear right-of-way, a site is any and all locations within any one-mile span of right-of-way. Any deployment of one (1) or more air curtain incinerators at a single site for more than six (6) months in any consecutive twelve (12) months, and, except as provided at sub-subparagraph c., any use of an air curtain incinerator at a site to burn material other than land clearing debris generated at the site or any other site under control of the same person (or persons under common control), shall require an appropriate air permit.

    c. Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-subparagraphs a. and b., the air curtain incinerator may be used for up to six (6) months in any consecutive twelve (12) months at any location for the destruction of animal carcasses in accordance with the provisions of subsection 62-256.700(6), F.A.C., the burning of storm-generated debris in accordance with the provisions of subsection 62-256.700(8), F.A.C., or the destruction of insect or disease-infested vegetation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 62-256.700(9), F.A.C. When using an air curtain incinerator to burn animal carcasses, untreated wood may also be burned to maintain good combustion. An air curtain incinerator may be used for the burning of storm-generated vegetative debris in accordance with the provisions of subsection 62-256.700(8), F.A.C., so long as:

    (I) The air curtain incinerator is used in a disaster declaration area;

    (II) The air curtain incinerator is used for a period not to exceed eight weeks from the date the unit began operation.

    62-210.550 Stack Height Policy.

    (1) General. The degree of emission limitation required of any emissions unit for control of any air pollutant on a continuous basis shall not be affected by so much of any emissions unit’s stack height that exceeds good engineering practice, as provided in subsection 62-210.550(3), 40 C.F.R. 51.100(ii), as adopted and incorporated by reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C., or by any other dispersion technique, as provided in subsection 62-210.550(2), 40 C.F.R. 51.100(hh), as adopted and incorporated by reference in Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C. This provision shall not apply to those stacks in existence, or dispersion techniques implemented, on or before December 31, 1970, except where pollutants are being emitted from such stacks or using such dispersion techniques by emissions units, as defined in section 111(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act, which were constructed, or reconstructed, or for which modifications under Rules 62-212.400, and 62-212.500, 17-2.17 (repealed), 17-2.500 (transferred), or 17-2.510 (transferred), F.A.C., or 40 C.F.R. 52.21, were carried out after December 31, 1970. Also, Tthis provision shall not restrict in any manner the actual stack height of any emissions unit.

    (2) Dispersion Technique.

    (a) “Dispersion technique” means any technique which attempts to affect the concentration of a pollutant in the ambient air by:

    1. Using that portion of a stack which exceeds good engineering practice stack height;

    2. Varying the rate of emission of a pollutant according to atmospheric conditions or ambient concentrations of that pollutant; or

    3. Increasing final exhaust gas plume rise by manipulating source process parameters, exhaust gas parameters, stack parameters (other than stack height), or combining exhaust gases from several existing stacks into one stack; or other selective handling of exhaust gas streams so as to increase the exhaust gas plume rise.

    (b) The preceding sentence does not include:

    1. The reheating of a gas stream, following use of a pollution control system, for the purpose of returning the gas to the temperature at which it was originally discharged from the facility generating the gas stream;

    2. The merging of exhaust gas streams where:

    a. The owner or operator demonstrates that the facility was originally designed and constructed with such merged gas streams;

    b. After July 8, 1985, such merging is part of a change in operation at the facility that includes the installation of pollution controls and is accompanied by a net reduction in the allowable emissions of a pollutant. This exclusion from the definition of “dispersion techniques” shall apply only to the emission limitation for the pollutant affected by such change in operation; or

    c. Before July 8, 1985, such merging was part of a change in operation at the facility that included the installation of emissions control equipment or was carried out for sound economic or engineering reasons. Where there was an increase in the emission limitation or, in the event that no emission limitation was in existence prior to the merging, an increase in the quantity of pollutants actually emitted prior to the merging, the Department shall presume that merging was significantly motivated by an intent to gain emissions credit for greater dispersion. Absent a demonstration by the owner or operator that merging was not significantly motivated by such intent, the Department shall deny credit for the effects of such merging in calculating the allowable emissions for the emissions unit; or

    3. Smoke management in agricultural or silvicultural prescribed burning programs;

    4. Episodic restrictions on residential woodburning and open burning; or

    5. Techniques under subparagraph 62-210.550(2)(a)3., F.A.C., which increase final exhaust gas plume rise where the resulting allowable emissions of sulfur dioxide from the facility do not exceed 5,000 tons per year.

    (3) Good Engineering Practice.

    (a) “Good engineering practice” (GEP) stack height means the greater of:

    1. 65 meters, measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack;

    2. The stack height as determined below:

    a. For stacks in existence on January 12, 1979, and for which the owner or operator had obtained all applicable permits or approvals required under 40 C.F.R. Parts 51 and 52, Hg = 2.5H, provided the owner or operator produces evidence that this equation was actually relied on in establishing an emission limitation;

    b. For all other stacks,

    Hg = H + 1.5L, where

    Hg = good engineering practice stack height, measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack,

    H = height of nearby structure(s) measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack,

    L = lesser dimension, height or projected width, of nearby structure(s) provided that the EPA, Department, or local air program may require the use of a field study or fluid model to verify GEP stack height for the emissions unit; or

    3. The height demonstrated by a fluid model or a field study approved by the EPA, Department, or local air program which ensures that the emissions from a stack do not result in excessive concentrations of any air pollutant as a result of atmospheric downwash, wakes, or eddy effects created by the emissions unit itself, nearby structures, or nearby terrain features. If this height exceeds the height allowed by subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)1. or 2., F.A.C., the Department shall notify the public of the availability of the demonstration study and provide an opportunity for a public hearing on it.

    (b) “Nearby” as used in paragraph 62-210.500(3)(a), F.A.C., is defined for a specific structure or terrain feature and:

    1. For purposes of applying subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2., F.A.C., means that distance up to five times the lesser of the height or the width dimension of a structure, but not greater than 0.8 km (1/2 mile), and

    2. For conducting demonstrations under subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)3., F.A.C., means not greater than 0.8 km (1/2 mile), except that the portion of a terrain feature may be considered to be nearby which falls within a distance of up to 10 times the maximum height (Ht) of the feature, not to exceed two miles if such feature achieves a height (ht) 0.8 km from the stack that is at least 40 percent of the GEP stack height determined by the formula provided in sub-subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2.b., F.A.C., or 26 meters, whichever is greater, as measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack. The height of the structure or terrain feature is measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack.

    (c) “Excessive concentration” is defined for the purpose of determining good engineering practice stack height under subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)3., F.A.C., and means:

    1. For emissions units seeking credit for stack height exceeding that established under subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2., F.A.C., a maximum ground-level concentration due to emissions from a stack due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, and eddy effects produced by nearby structures or nearby terrain features which individually is at least 40 percent in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy effects and which contributes to a total concentration due to emissions from all emissions units that is greater than an ambient air quality standard. For emissions units subject to the prevention of significant deterioration program (40 C.F.R. 52.21 or Rule 62-212.400, F.A.C.), an excessive concentration alternatively means a maximum ground-level concentration due to emissions from a stack due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects produced by nearby structures or nearby terrain features which individually is at least 40 percent in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy effects and greater than a prevention of significant deterioration increment. The allowable emission rate to be used in making demonstrations under this part shall be prescribed by the new source performance standard (40 C.F.R. 60) that is applicable to the source category unless the owner or operator demonstrates that this emission rate is infeasible. Where such demonstrations are approved by the Department, an alternative emission rate shall be established in consultation with the owner or operator;

    2. For emissions units seeking credit after October 11, 1983, for increases in existing stack heights up to the heights established under subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2., F.A.C., either:

    a. A maximum ground-level concentration due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects as provided in subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(c)1., F.A.C., except that the emission rate specified by the State Implementation Plan (or, in the absence of such a limit, the actual emission rate) shall be used; or

    b. The actual presence of a local nuisance caused by the existing stack, as determined by the Department; and

    3. For emissions units seeking credit after January 12, 1979, for a stack height determined under subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2., F.A.C., where the Department requires the use of a field study or fluid model to verify GEP stack height; for emissions units seeking stack height credit after November 9, 1984, based on the aerodynamic influence of cooling towers; and for emissions units seeking stack height credit after December 31, 1970, based on the aerodynamic influence of structures not adequately represented by the equations in subparagraph 62-210.550(3)(a)2., F.A.C.: a maximum ground-level concentration due in whole or part to downwash, wakes, or eddy effects that is at least 40 percent in excess of the maximum concentration experienced in the absence of such downwash, wakes, or eddy effects.
