 16. ABSTRACT
  This document  has  been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)  of the Clean Air
  Act amendments of  1977.   The Federally  enforceable regulations contained in the State
  Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been compiled for all 56 States  and  territories
  (with the exception of the Northern Mariana  Islands).  They consist of both the
  Federally approved State and/or local air  quality regulations as  indicated in the
  Federal Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
  indicated in the Federal Register. Regulations which fall into one of the above
  categories as  of January 1,1978, have  been  incorporated.  As mandated by Congress,
  this document  will be updated annually.  State and/or local air quality regulations
  which have not been Federally approved  as  of January 1, 1978, are not included here;
  omission of these  regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of
  the respective Federal,  State, or local agencies to enforce such  regulations.

                             INTRODUCTION

                                                               »
     This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.  The Federally enforceable
regulations contained in the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands).  They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in the Federal
Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
indicated in the Federal Register.  Regulations which fall into one of
the above categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated.  As
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually.  State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.

     There have been recent changes in the Federal enforceability of
parking management regulations and indirect source regulations.  The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing:legislation.  Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended indefinitely.  Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments, indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP.   Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source regulations Contained in an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable.  More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which are specific to Federally
funded, operated, or owned facilities or projects.  Therefore, the
Federally promulgated indirect source regulations appearing in this
document are not enforceable by EPA except as they relate to Federal
facilities.

     Since State air quality regulations vary widely in their organization,
content, and language, a standardized subject index is utilized in this
document.  Index listings consist of both contaminant and activity oriented
categories to facilitate usage.  For example, for regulations which apply
to copper smelters, one might look under sulfur compounds (50.2), particu-
late matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters (51.15).   Federal
regulations pertaining to a given State immediately follow the approved
State and local regulations.

     Additionally, a summary sheet of the information included in each
comprehensive document is presented prior to the regulatory text to
allow one to quickly assess the contents of the document.  Specifically,
the summary sheets contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision
                                   Hi

-------
to the SIP and the date of the Federal Register in which the revision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA.  Finally, a brief description
or.reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.

     This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given regulation.  As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation of those regulations
which ara incorporated directly or by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code of Federal Regulations.  Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation.  Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this
document does not, in itself, render the regulation enforceable.

                       these Regulations cannot exceed the quantity  which
                       would be the  allowable emission through a single
                       emission point; and the total emitted  quantity of any
                       such air contaminant shall be taken as the product of
                       the highest concentration  measured in  any of  the emission
                       points and the  exhaust gas volume  through all emission
                       points, unless  the  person  responsible  for the source
                       operation  sstablishes  the  correct  total emitted quantity.

        within the standards of Rule 208  under the revised conditions.

(3.0)    RULE 210  Denial  of  Applications

        In the event of denial of a permit,  the Air  Pollution  Control  Officer
        shall notify the applicant in writing  of the reasons therefore.  Service
        of this notification may be made  in  person or by mail, and such service
        may be proved by the written acknowledgement of the  persons served or
        affidavit of the person making  the service.  The Air Pollution Control
        Officer shall not accept a further application  unless  the applicant
        has complied with the objections  specified by the Air  Pollution Control
        Officer as his reasons for denial of the permit.

(3.0)    RULE 211  Further Information

        Before acting on an  application for  a  permit, the Air  Pollution Control
        Officer may require  the applicant to furnish information  or further
        plans or specifications.

(3.0)    RULE 212  Applications Deemed Denied

        The applicant may at his option deem the permit denied if the  Air Pollu-
        tion Control Officer fails to act on the application within 30 days  after
        filing, or within 30 days after applicant  furnishes  the further informa-
        tion, plans and specifications  requested by  the Air  Pollution  Control
        Officer, whichever is later.

(3.0)    RULE,213  Appeals

        Within 10 days after notice by  the Air Pollution Control  Officer of
        denial of a permit,  the applicant may  petition  the Hearing Board, in

(3.0)    RULE 214  Existing Sources

        Existing sources,  where control  equipment has  been  installed,  that  were
        in compliance and  sources that are on a  compliance  schedule  approved  by
        the Air Pollution  Control District on the effective date  of  Rule  201,
        shall  be issued a  conditional  permit to  operate.  The conditional permit
        to operate will not be valid if there is a significant change  in  the
        process or significant increase in production.

        Existing sources,  requiring the installation of control equipment,  shall
        be issued a conditional permit to operate provided  that an acceptable
        time for compliance is filed with the Air Pollution Control  Officer.   The
        time for compliance shall include each of the  following times:  time for
        engineering, time  for procurement, time  for fabrication,  and time for
        installation and adjustment.  The Air Pollution Control Officer may re-
        quire such periodic reports on each phase of the progress toward  compli-
        ance.   Failure at  any phase to make reasonable progress toward completion
        of such installations as are required for final compliance shall  be
        deemed an unreasonable delay in compliance and is subject to revocation
        of the conditional permit to operate.

                       rules  relating  to evidence and witnesses.  Any relevant
                       evidence  shall  be admitted if it is the sort of evidence

                       of any common law or  statutory rule which might make im-
                       proper the admission  of  such evidence over objection in

                       actions.  The rules of privilege shall be effective to the
                       same extent  that  they are now or hereafter may be recog-
                       nized  in  civil  actions,  and irrelevant and unduly repeti-
