The Act forbids USEPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S.E.P.A., 427 U.S. 246, 256—66 (1976). Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (“Unfunded Mandates Act”), signed into law on March 22, 1995, the USEPA must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that indudes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to the private sector; of $100 million or more. • Under Section 205, the USEPA must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section203 requires the USEPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly or uniquely • impacted by the rule. The USEPA has determined that the approval action promulgated today does not -include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action approves pre- existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or the private sector, result from this action. - D. Petitions for Judicial Review Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by April 2, 1996. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review, nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be • challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2) of the CAA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 24, 1994, the State of Georgia through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division submitted SIP revisions to EPA Region 4. and additional revisions were submitted on November 15, 1994. These submittals contain changes pursuant to requirements of part D of Title I of the CAA with regard to nonattaimnent areas; part A, section 114, pertaining to source monitoring; and part C, regarding PSD. Specifically. Georgia submitted, and EPA is approving, the following revisions. 391—3—1—01 Definitions Revised definition of Potential to Emit, (www); Opacity, (ss); Part 70 ermit, (ww); Reid Vapor Pressure, (iii); nthetic Minor Permit, (cccc); and otal Reduced Sulfur (TRS), (eeee). Re- alphabetized all of the definitions to be consistent with EPA definitions, to correc} errors, and to simplify finding definitions. ‘391—3—1—.02(2) Emission Standards Subsection (2)(t), VOC Emissions from Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Manufacturing, has been revised and subsections (2)(ccc), VOC Emissions from Bulk Mixing Tanks, and (2)(eee), VOC Emissions from Expanded Polystyrene Products Manufacturing, have been added to include new VOC emission limitations to specify RACT for certain industrial categories. The reference given for the procedure for determining leaks in subsection (2)(hh), Petroleum Refinery Equipment Leaks, is revised to cite the present form of the test method. This will bring the reference up to date. These revisions are consistent with the CAA. 391—3—1—.02(3) Sampling and 391—3— 1—.02(6) Source Monitoring Subparagraphs (31(a), (6)(a), and (6)(b) were revised to reference the methods specified in the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Manual of Procedures )Testing and Monitoring Sources of Pol(utants, dated September 1, 1994. a revised manual has been reviewed and meets EPA requirements. 391—3—1—.O2(7) Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (P 511) Paragraph (7) is amended to incorporate by reference the PSD rules in 40 CFR Part 52.21 as amended, This revision incorporates the changes to the rules published on June 3, 1993 (58 FR 316371 and July 20. 1993 [ 58 FR 38883J. The action effective on June 3, 1993, revised the maximum allowable increases (increments) for particulate matter (PM) under the requirements for PSD. The July 20, 1993, revision updated the ‘Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised)’ (1986), as modified by Supplement A (1987) by adding new models, improving existing models and incorporating Supplement B (1993). This action also set the Guideline, revised by Supplements A and B, as appendix W to 40 CFR part 51. Final Action EPA is approving the plan revisions submitted by the State of Georgia on June 24 and November 15, 1994, listed in the SUPPLEMENTARy INFORMATION section of this notice. The EPA is publishing this action without a prior proposal for approval because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal Register publication, the EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revisions should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be effective April 2. 1996, unless, by March 4, 1996, adverse or critical comments are received. If the EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the separate proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this action will be effective April 2, 1996. Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(1), petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by April 2, 1996. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the lime within which a petition for judrcial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(2)). This action has been classified as a Table 3 action for signature by the Regional Administrator under the procedures published in the Federal Register ox January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214—2225), as revised by a July 10, 1995, memorandum from Mary Nichols, Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. The Office of Management and Budget (0MB) has exempted this regulatory action from E.0. 12866 review. Nothing in this action shall be construed as permitting or allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for a revision to any state implementation plan. Each request for revision to the state implementation plan shall be considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than 50,000. SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the CAA do not create any new requirements, but simply approve requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the Federal SIP-approval does not impose any new requirements, I certify that it does not have a significant impact on any small entities affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-state relationship under the CAA, preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The CAA forbids EPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. E.P.A , 427 U.S. 246, 256—66 (S.Ct. 1976); 42 U.S.C. section 7410(a)(2) and 7410(k)(3). Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (“Unfunded Mandates Act”), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must undertake various actions in association with proposed or fInal rules ------- Federal Register I Vol. 61 , No. 23 I Friday, February 2, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 3819 that include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to the private sector, or to State. local, or tribal governments in the aggregate. Through submission of this state implementation plan or plan revision. the State and any affected local or tribal governments have elected to adopt the revisions provided for under section 114, part C, and part D of Title I of the CAA. These rules may bind State, local and tribal governments to perform certain actions and also require the private sector to perform certain duties. To the extent that the rules being approved by this action will impose no new requirements, since such sources are already subject to these regulations under State law. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action, and therefore there will be no significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. EPA has also determined that this final action does not include a mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private sector.

Code Ann. 43-1705(10). This exemption relates only to the requirement for a permit issued under the Act, not to any other requirement for a permit issued under the Act, and in no way affects any requirement for a permit, license, or a certificate under any other law. This limited exemption from the permit requirements of the Act shall in no way affect the applicability of any other requirement related to mobile sources, or any other requirement or limitation which may affect mobile sources. (7) COMBINED PERMITS AND APPUCATIONS. The Director may combine the requirements of and the permits for construction and operation (temporary or otherwise) into one permit. He may likewise combine the requirements of and applicants for construction and operating permits into one application. (8) PERIvUT REQUIREMENTS: (a) Each application for a permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall be subjected to a preconstruction or premodification review by the Director. The Director shall determine prior to issuing any permit that the proposed construction or modification will not cause or contribute to a failure to attain (as expeditiously as practicable) or maintain any ambient air quality standard, a significant deterioration of air quality, or a violation of any applicable emission limitation or standard of performance or other requirement under the Act or this Chapter (391-3-1). Each person applying to the Director for a permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall provide information required by the Director to make such determination. (b) In addition to any other requirement under the Act, or this Chapter (39 1-3-1), no permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall be issued unless such proposed source meets all the requirements for review and for obtaining a permit prescribed in Title!, Part C of the Federal Act, and Section 391-3-1-.02(7) of these Rules. (c) In addition teeny other requirement under the Act or this Chapter (391-3-1), no permit to construct a new or modified major stationary source [ to be located in any area of the State determined and designated by the U. S. EPA Administrator or the Director as not attaining a National Ambient Air Quality Standard or in areas contributing to the ambient air levels of such pollutants in such areas of nonattainment] shall be issued unless: 1. The Director determines that by the time the source is to commence operation, sufficient offsetting emissions reductions have been obtained, such that total allowable emissions from existing sources in the region, from new or modified sources which are not major emitting facilities, and from the proposed source, will be sufficiently less than total emissions from existing sources allowed prior to the application for such permit to construct or modify, so as to represent (when considered together with other air pollution control measures legally enforced in such area or region) reasonable further progress (as defined in Section 171 of the Federal Act); and 2. The proposed sburce is required to comply with the lowest achievable emission rate; and 3. The owner or operator of the proposed new or modified source has demonstrated that all major stationary sources owned or operated by such person (or by an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such person) in this State, are subject to emission limitations and are in compliance, or on a schedule for compliance, with all applicable emission limitations and standards under the Act; and 4. An analysis (by the person proposing such construction or modification) of alternative sites, sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques for such proposed source demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that benefits of the proposed source significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its proposed location, construction or modification; and [ 391-3-1] - 115 ------- PRII4TED April 24, 1996 5. The State’s Implementation Plan (approved by the Administrator pursuant to the Federal Act) is being carried out in the nonattainment area in which the proposed source is to be constructed or modified in accordance with the requirements of Title I, Part D of the Federal Act. 6. The offset baseline for determining credits for emission reductions at a source is the applicable emission limits in this Chapter or the actual emissions at the time the application to construct is ified, whichever is less. Creditable reductions must occur within two years prior to the filing of the permit application and the time the newly permitted source emissions commence. 7. Emission reductions achieved by shutting down an existing source or permanently curtailing production or operating hours below baseline levels may be credited, provided that the work force to be affected has been notified of the proposed shutdown or curtailment. Source shutdowns and curtailments in production or operating hours occurring prior to the date of the new source application may be used for offset credits if the applicant can establish that the shutdown or curtailment of production occurred less than one year prior to the date of permit application and the proposed new source is a replacement for the shutdown in whole or in part. 8. No emission offset credit may be aliowed for replacing one VOC compound with another of less reactivity. 9. Procedures relating to the permissible location of offsetting emissions shall be followed which are at least as stringent as those contained in 40 CFR, Part 52, Appendix S, Section W.D. 10. Offset credit for an emission reduction can be claimed to the extent that the Director has not relied on it in issuing any other permit or has not relied on it in demonstrating attainment of reasonable further progress. 11. The Director may elect not to consider fugitive emissions, to the extent they are quantifiable, in calculating the potential to emit from a stationary source or modification in determining whether the source is major and the source does not belong to any of the following categories: (i) Coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers); (ii) Kraft pulp mills; (iii) Portland cement plants; (iv) Primary zinc smelters; (v) Iron and steel mills; (vi) Primary aluminum ore reduction plants; (vii) Primary copper smelters; (viii) Municipal incinerators capable of charging more than 250 tons of refuse per day; (ix) Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid plants; (x) Petroleum refineries; (xi) Lime plants; (xii) Phosphate rock processing plants; [ 391-3-1] - 116 ------- R1NThD April 24, 1996 (xiii) Coke oven batteries; (xiv) Sulfur recovery plants; (xv) Carbon black plants (furnace process); (xvi) Primary lead smelters; (xvii) Fuel conversion plants; (xviii) Sintering plants; (xix) Secondary metal production plants; (xx) Chemical process plants; (xxi) Fossil-fuel boilers (or combination thereot) totaling more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; (xxii) Petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels; (xxiii)Taconite ore processing plants; (xxiv)Glass fiber processing plants; (xxv) Charcoal production plants; (xxvi) Fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; (xxvii)Any other stationary source category which as of August 7, 1980, is being regulated under Section 111 or 112 of the Act. 12. Offsets: (i) The owner or operator of a new or modified major stationary source may comply with any offset requirement in effect under this subsection for increased emissions of any air pollutant only by obtaining emission reductions of such air pollutants from the same source or other sources in the same nonattainment area, except that the Director may allow the owner or operator of a source to obtain such emission reductions in another nonattainment area if: (I) The other area has an equal or higher nonattainment classification than the area in which the source is located; and (II) Emissions from such other area contribute to a violation of the national ambient air quality standani in the nonattainment area in which the source is located. Such emission reductions shall be, by the time a new or inodlifled source commences operation, in effect and enforceable and shall assure that the total tonnage of increased emissions of the air pollutant from the new or modified source shall be offset by an equal or greater reduction, as applicable, in the actual emissions of such air pollutant from the same or other sources in the area. [ 391-3-1 1 - 117 ------- RINTED April 24, 1996 (ii) Emission reductions otherwise required by the Federal Act shall not be creditable as emissions reductions for purposes of any such offset requirement. Incidental emission reductions which are not otherwise required by the Federal Act shall be creditable as emission reductions for such purposes if such emission reductions meet the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection. 13. Additional Provisions for ozone Nonattainment Areas: (1) In Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKaib, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Heniy, Paulding, and Rockdale counties, the terms ‘major source’ and ‘major stationary source’ include any stationary source or group of sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits, or baa the potential to emit, at least 50 tons per year of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides. (ii) Increased emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides resulting from any physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, a stationary source located in these counties shall not be considered de minimis for purposes of determining the applicability of the permit requirements established by this subsection unless the net emissions increase of such air pollutant from such source does not exceed 25 tons when aggregated over any period of five consecutive calendar years which includes the calendar year in which such increase occurred. (iii) In the case of any major stationary source located in these counties which emits or has the potential to emit less than 100 tons of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides per year, whenever any change (as described in Section lll(a)(4) of the Federal Act) at that source results in any increase (other than a de rninirril, , increase) in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from any discrete operation, unit, or other pollutant emitting activity at the source, such increase shall be considered a modification for purposes of this subsection, unless the owner or operator of the source elects to offset the increase by a greater reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from other operations, units, or activities within the source at an internal offset ratio of at least 1.3 to 1. if the owner or operator does not make such election, such change shall be considered a modification for such purposes. In applying this subsection in the case of any such modification, the best available control technology (BAd), as defined by the Federal Act, shall be substituted for the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER). (iv) In the case of any major stationary source located in these counties which emits or has the potential to emit more than 100 tons of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides per year, whenever any change (as described in Section 111(a) (4) of the Federal Act) at that source results in any increase (other than a de nhinimis increase) in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from any discrete operation, unit, or other pollutant emitting activity at the source, such increase shall be considered a modification for purposes of this subsection, except that if the owner or operator of the source elects to offset the increase by a greater reduction in omissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from other operations, units, or activities within the source at an interns] offset ratio of at least 1.3 to 1, the requirements of this subsection concerning lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) shall not apply. (v) For purposes of satisfying the emission offset requirements of this subsection, the ratio of total emission reductions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides to total increased emissions of such air pollutant shall be at least 1.2 to 1 for emission offsets external to the contiguous area under common control at which the proposed new emission point is located. (d) With respect to the permitting of sources to be constructed or modified before July 1, 1979, the review and other requirements of Section 129A of the Federal Act shall be met prior to issuance of any permit. (e) The Director shall, upon analysis of the ambient air in the State, determine, and so designate, those areas of the State, if any, which are not attaining any National Ambient Air Quality Standards specified under the [ 391-3-1] - 118 ------- PRINTED April 24, 1996 Federal Act, and any area contributing to the ambient air level of any such pollutant (for which such a standard has been established) in such areas of nonattainment. The Director’s analyses, determinations, and designations hereunder shall be used for the purpose of implementing the requirements of this section, shall be continuing, and shall be conducted in a manner sufficient to meet the requirements of Title I, Part D of the Federal Act. (9) Not Federally approved. (10) Not Federally approved. (11) Not Federally approved. (12) GENERIC PERMIT (a) Under penalty of law, the holder of any Air Quality General Generic Permit must adhere to the terms, limitations, and conditions of that permit and subsequest revisions of that permit. (b) The limitations, controls, and requirements in federally enforceable operating permits are permanent, quantifiable, and flherwise enforceable as a practical matter. (c) Prior to the issuance of any federally enforceable operating permit, EPA and the public will be notified and given a chance for comment on the draft permit.

The Director may combine the requirements of and the permits for Construction and operation (temporary or otherwise) into one permit. He may likewise combine the requirements of and applicants for construction and operating permits into one application. (8) PERMIT REQUIREMENTS; (a) Each application for a permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall be subjected to a preconstruction or premodification review by the Director. The Director shall determine prior to issuing any permit that the proposed construction or modification will not cause or contribute to a failure to attain (as expeditiously as practicable) or maintain any ambient air quality standard, a significant deterioration of air quality, or a violation of any applicable emission limitation or standard of performance or other requirement under the Act or this Chapter (391-3-1). Each person applying to the Director for a permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall provide information required by the Director to make such determination. (b) In addition to any other requirement under the Act, or this Chapter (391-3-1), no permit to construct a new stationary source or modify an existing stationary source shall be issued unless such proposed source meets all the requirements for review and for obtaining a permit prescribed in Title I, Part C of the Federal Act, and Section 391-3-1-.02(7) of these Rules. (c) In addition to any other requirement under the Act or this Chapter (39 1-3-1), no permit to construct a new or modified major stationary source [ to be located in any area of the State determined and designated by the U. S. EPA Administrator or the Director as not attaining a National Ambient Air Quality Standard or in areas contributing to the ambient air levels of such pollutants in such areas of nonattainnient] shall be issued unless. 1. The Director determines that by the time the source is to commence operation, sufficient offsetting emissions reductions have been obtained, such that total allowable emissions from existing sources in the region, from new or modified sources which are not major emitting facilities, and from the proposed source, will be sufficiently less than total emissions from existing sources allowed prior to the application for such permit to construct or modify, so as to represent (when considered together with other air pollution control measures legally enforced in such area or region) reasonable further progress (as defined in Section 171 of the Federal Act); and 2. The proposed source is required to comply with the lowest achievable emission rate; and 3. The owner or operator of the proposed new or modified source has demonstrated that all major stationary sources owned or operated by such person (or by an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such person) in this State, are subject to emission limitations and are in compliance, or on a schedule for compliance, with all applicable emission limitations and standards under the Act; and 4. An analysis (by the person proposing such construction or modification) of alternative sites, sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques for such proposed source demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that benefits of the proposed source significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a result of its proposed location, construction or modification; and S. The State’s Implementation Plan (approved by the Administrator pursuant to the Federal Act) is being carried out in the nonattkinment area in which the proposed source is to be constructed or modified in accordance with the requirements of Title I, Part D of the Federal Act. [ 391-3-1] - 115 ------- PRINTED February 7, 1996 6. The offset baseline for determining credits for emission reductions at a source is the applicable emission limits in this Chapter or the actual emissions at the time the application to construct is ified, whichever is less. Creditable reductions must occur within two years prior to the filing of the permit application and the time the newly permitted source emissions commence. 7. Emission reductions achieved by shutting down an existing source or permanently curtailing production or operating hours below baseline levels may be credited, provided that the work force to be affected has been notified of the proposed shutdown or curtailment. Source shutdowns and curtailments in production or operating hours occurring prior to the date of the new source application may be used for offset credits if the applicant can establish that the shutdown or curtailment of production occurred less than one year prior to the date of permit application and the proposed new source is a replacement for the shutdown in whole or in part. 8. No emission offset credit may be allowed for replacing one VOC compound with another of less reactivity. - 9. Procedures relating to the permissible location of offsetting emissions shall be followed which are at least as stringent as those contained in 40 CFR, Part 52, Appendix S, Section IV.D. 10. Offset credit for an emission reduction can be claimed to the extent that the Director has not relied on it in issuing any other permit or has not relied on it in demonstrating attainment of reasonable further progress. 11. The Director may elect not to consider fugitive emissions, to the extent they are quantifiable, in calculating the potential to emit from a stationary source or modification in determining whether the source is major and the source does not belong to any of the following categories: (i) Coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers); (ii) Kraft pulp mills; (iii) •Portland cement plants; (iv) Primary zinc smelters; (v) Iron and steel mills; (vi) Primary aluminum ore reduction plants; (vii) Primary copper smelters; (viii) Municipal incinerators capable of charging more than 250 tons of refuse per day; (ix) Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid plants; (x) Petroleum refineries; (xi) Lime plants; (xii) Phosphate rock processing plants; (xiii) Coke oven batteries; (391-3-1] - 116 ------- PRINTED Februaiy 7, 1996 (xiv) Sulfur recovery plants; (xv) Carbon black plants (furnace process); (xvi) Primary lead smelters; (xvii) Fuel conversion plants; (xviii) Sintering plants; (xix) Secondary metal production plants; (xx) Chemical process plants; (xxi) Fossil-fuel boilers (or combination thereof) totaling more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; (xxii) Petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels; (xxiii)Taconite ore processing plants; (xxiv)Glass fiber processing plants; (xxv) Charcoal production plants; (xxvi) Fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than 250 million British thermal units per hour heat input; (xxvii)Any other stationary source category which as of August 7, 1980, is being regulated under Section 111 or 112 of the Act. 12. Offsets: (i) The owner or operator of a new or modified major stationary source may comply with any offset requirement in effect under this subsection for increased emissions of any air pollutant only by obtaining emission reductions of such air pollutants from the same source or other sources in the same nonattainment area, except that the Director may allow the owner or operator of a source to obtain such emission reductions in another nonattainment area if: (1) The other area has an equal or higher nonattainment classification than the area in which theisource is located; and (II) Emissions from such other area contribute to a violation of the national ambient air quality staz dard in the nonattainment area in which the source is located. Such emission reductions shall be, by the time a new or modified source commences operation, in effect and enforceable and shall assure that the total tonnage of increased emissions of the air pollutant from the new or modified source shall be offset by an equal or greater reduction, as applicable, in the actual emissions of such air pollutant from the same or other sources in the area. (ii) Emission reductions otherwise required by the Federal Act shall not be creditable as emissions reductions for purposes of any such offset requirement. Incidental emission reductions which [ 391-3-1] - 117 ------- PRINTED February 7, 1996 are not Otherwise required by the Federal Act shall be creditable as emission reductions for such purposes if such iiss n reductions meet the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection. j . Additional Provisions for ozone Nonattainment Areas: (i) In Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKaib, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale counties, the terms “major source” and “major stationary source” include any stationary source or group of sources located within a contiguous area and under Common control that emits, or has the potential to emit, at least 50 tons per year of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides. (ii) Increased emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides resulting from any physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, a stationary source located in these counties shall not be considered de minimis for purposes of determining the applicability of the permit requirements established by this subsection unless the net emissions increase of such air pollutant from such source does not exceed 25 tons when aggregated over any period of five consecutive calendar years which includes the calendar year in which such increase occurred. (iii) In the case of any major stationary source located in these counties which emits or has the potential to emit less than 100 tons of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides per year, whenever any change (as described in Section 11 1(a)(4) of the Federal Act) at that source results in any increase (other than a de minimis increase) in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from any discrete operation, unit, or other pollutant emitting activity at the source, such increase shall be considered a modification for purposes of this subsection, unless the owner or operator of the source elects to offset the increase by a greater reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from other operations, units, or activities within the source at an internal offset ratio of at least 1.3 to 1. If the owner or operator does not make such election, such change shall be considered a modification for such purposes. In applying this subsection in the case of any such modification, the best available control technology (BACT), as defined by the Federal Act, shall be substituted for the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER). (iv) In the case of any major stationary source located in these counties which emits or has the potential to emit more than 100 tons of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides per year, whenever any change (as described in Section 111(a) (4) of the Federal Act) at that source results in any increase (other than a de minimis increase) in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from any discrete operation, unit, or other pollutant emitting activity at the source, such increase shall be considered a modification for purposes of this subsection, except that if the owner or operator of the source elects to offset the increase by a greater reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides from other operations, units, or activities within the source at an internal offset ratio of at least 1.3 to 1, the req irementa of this subsection concerning lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) shall not apply. (v) For purposes of satisfying the emission offset requirements of this subsection, the ratio of total emission reductions of volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides to total increased emissions of such air pollutant shall be at least 1.2 to 1 for emission offsets external to the contiguous area under common control at which the proposed new emission point is located. (d) With respect to the permitting of sources to be constructed or modified before July 1, 1979, the review and other requirements of Section 129A of the Federal Act shall be met prior to issuance of any permit. (391-3-1] - 118 ------- PRINTED February 7, 1996 (e) The Director shall, Upon analysis of the ambient air in the State, determine, and so designate, thone areas of the State, if any, which are not attaining any National Ambient Air Quality Standards specified under the Federal Act, and any area contributing to the ambient air level of any such pollutant (for which such a standard has been established) in such areas of nonattainment. The Director’s analyses, determinations, and designations hereunder shall be used for the purpose of implementing the requirements of this section, shall be continuing, and shall be conducted in a manner sufficient to meet the requirements of Title I, Part D of the Federal Act.

AMENDED. (1) In order to prevent the occurrence of air contaminant concentrations great enough to cause danger to the public health, the Director will proclaim that an Air Pollution Alert, Air Pollution Warning, or Air Pollution Emergency exists when the meteorological conditions are such that an air stagnation condition is in existence and/or the accumulation of air contaminants in any place is attaining or has attained levels which could, if such levels are sustained or exceeded, lead to a substantial threat to the health of persons in the specific area affected. • (2) The Director will maintain a listing of specific air contaminant concentrations which, if reached or exceeded at any monitoring site, will give rise to the proclamation of a respective air pollution episode level. The listing will be available and furnished to any interested person, upon request to the Director. These ambient concentration levels will be in graded levels with more restrictive control requirements being necessary as the concentrations progress upward, with the Air Pollution Emergency level being one which should never be reached and the most stringent control actions are necessary for reduction of air contaminant levels in the atmosphere. (3) The proclamation of an air pollution episode level can be for a specific, limited area affected by certain emissions, and shall always be accompanied by the expectation of air stagnation conditions for twelve (12) hours or more. (4) Upon the request of the Director, any source owner, operator, or lessee shall prepare and furnish to the Director written Air Pollution Episode plans for use in reducing the emission of air contaminants when the source is notified of the existence of an Air Pollution Alert, Warning or Emergency in its area of influence. Such plans shall identify the sources of air contaminants, the amount of reduction to be achieved, the method by which the reduction will be accomplished, and the times required to put each such reduction step into effect. The plan will specify progressively more stringent control actions to be taken at each of the air pollution episode levels, with the Alert level needing the least reduction and the Emergency level requiring the most reduction of emissions. The submitted Air Pollution Episode plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Director. If the plan is judged to be inadequate by the Director, it shall be disapproved and an amended plan will be prepared and resubmitted by the source owner, operator, or lessee. • (5) When notified by the Director of the existence of an Air Pollution Alert, Warning, or Emergency in an area influenced by its emissions, the source owner, operator, or lessee shall immediately put into effect the control actions enumerated in the approved pollution episode plan on file with the Director, as appropriate for the specific episode level in effect. (6) Once proclaimed by the Director, an air pollution episode level will remain in effect until the criteria for air contaminant concentrations applicable to the respective level are not longer met. At such time, the next lower status will be assumed.

AMENDED. (1) The Director may grant specific or general classes of exceptions to the particular requirements of any rule, regulation, or general order, to such specific persons or class of persons or such specific existing stationary (as of June 1, 1972) source or general class of such sources subject to any requirement of, under, or pursuant to the Georgia Air Quality Act of 1978, upon such conditions as he may deem necessary to protect the public health, and welfare, if, upon petition, he finds that strict compliance with such rule, regulation, or general order is inappropriate for one of the following reasons: (a) Because of conditions beyond the control of petitioner; or (b) Because of special circumstances which would render strict compliance unreasonable, unduly burdensome, or impracticable due to special physical conditions or causes; or (c) Because strict compliance would result in substantial curtailment or closing of the business or operation; or (d) Because no alternative facility or method of handling is available. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) above, the Director shall not in any case authorize an exception to any requirement, unless such exception fully complies with an approved State Implementation Plan meeting all the requirements of Title I, Part D, of the Federal Act, all the requirements for an approvable revision to the State Implementation Plan pursuant to 40 USC §7411, as amended, and 42 Usc §2712, as amended. Any exception granted is and shall be subject to the Director’s emergency powers under Ga. Code Ann §43-2715, as amended, and the Administrator’s emergency powers under Title ifi, Section 303 of the Federal Act. No exception to any State Implementation Plan requirement shall become effective until the Plan revision based upon an exception is approved by EPA. If a State Plan revision based upon an exception has been approved as part of the State Implementation Plan by EPA, an is subsequently disapproved by EPA, the exception shall be immediately void and of no affect, and the general regulatory requirement shall apply to the person or source to which such exception applied before the disapproval. In the event of such disapproval, the affected person or source shall meet the regulation requirements as expeditiously as practicable. (3) Any person or person seeking an exception to any regulation requirement shall do so by filing a petition for such exception with the Director. The Director shall promptly investigate such petition and shall cause the petitioner to have published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the source to which the exception, if granted, is to apply, notice of the request for such exception, notice of the date, time, and place of a public hearing to be held to receive comments upon and evidence with regard to the granting of such petition, and notice of the person to whom and the address at which comments may be mailed, within 30 days after the notice is published. Upon consideration of all the evidence and supporting data submitted by the petitioner, and upon consideration of all evidence and comments received by mail, postmarked within 30 days of the date of publication of the notice, the Director shall issue an order, either denying or granting the requested exception. Any exception granted may be limited in time. Any exception may be conditioned upon compliance with interim or alternate standards, limitations, or requirements and shall contain a schedule requiring compliance with the regulation to which the exception is granted as expeditiously as practicable. The Director shall evaluate the petition and the consequences of granting or denying the requested exception, giving due regard to the factors listed in Ga. Code Ann. 43-2708, as amended, consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. (4) Any person aggrieved by the order of the Director upon such petition may request a review of such order in accordance with the provisions of Ga. Code Ann. 43-2717. (5) Any exception granted may be revoked or modified by the Director after a public hearing which shall be held after giving at least fifteen (15) days notice to all persons known to the Director who will be subjected to [ 391-3-1] - 121 ------- PRINTED February 7, 1996 greater restrictions or more stringent regulatory requirements if such exception is revoked or modified, and to any person or persons who have filed with the Director a specific written request for such modification. Any order of the Director revoking or modif ’ing any exception previously granted, may be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Ga. Code Ann. 43-2717; provided, however, that during the pendency of any such review the Source or person to whom the exception applied prior to such revocation or modification shall as expeditiously as practicable comply fully with the general regulatory requirements if the order is one of revocation, or the terms of modified exception if the order is one of modification, after issuance and notice of the Director’s order of revocation or modification. Any notice required herein may be made upon petitioner by mailing (U. S. Post Office, adequate postage, a copy of the notice to order to either the address appearing on the application for a permit for the affected source to such other address as the petitioner may provide, and upon any other person by mailing to the address provided in the persons specific request for notification.
