Summary


The proposed rule amendments address Operation Permits for Major Sources of Air Pollution. These updates include removal of the affirmative defense provision, adding a process for making minor amendments to existing permits, and clarifying the actions that constitute off-permit changes to existing permits. Additional revisions will include repealing the Title V Air General Permits rule section in its entirety as the sources are now regulated under Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C. (“Air General Permits”), clarifying that major sources may continue to operate while under the permit renewal process, and clarifying requirements applicable to facilities that alternate between authorized methods of operation. The Department is proposing other streamlining, clarifying, and corrective revisions for various rule sections in Chapter 62-213, F.A.C.
