SECTION 1. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 3 of 28 Permit No. 1840-000X4
1.1 The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Federal Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section IIl.A.6.a.)
1.2 It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.b.)
1.3 This permit and/or any part thereof may be modified, revoked, reopened, and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.C.)
1.4 This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.d.)
1.5 The permittee shall furnish to the DEQ within a reasonable time any information the DEQ may request in writing to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit or to determine compliance with the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also furnish to the DEQ copies of records required to be kept by the permittee or, for information to be confidential, the permittee shall furnish such records to DEQ along with a claim of confidentiality. The permittee may furnish such records directly to the Administrator along with a claim of confidentiality. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.6.e.)
1.6 The provisions of this permit are severable. If any provision of this permit, or the application of any provision of this permit to any circumstances, is challenged or held invalid, the validity of the remaining permit provisions and/or portions thereof or their application to other persons or sets of circumstances, shall not be affected thereby. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section III.A.5.)
1.7 The permittee shall pay to the DEQ an annual permit fee. The amount of fee shall be determined each year based on the provisions of regulated pollutants for fee purposes and the fee schedule specified in the Commission on Environmental Quality's order which shall be issued in accordance with the procedure outlined in Regulation APC-S-6.
(a) For purposes of fee assessment and collection, the permittee shall elect for
SR-1540.TV.3
ABD00021930
Page 4 of 2$ Permit No. 1840-00014
actual or allowable emissions to be used in determining the annual quantity of emissions unless the Commission determines by order that the method chosen by the applicant for calculating actual emissions fails to reasonably represent actual emissions. Actual emissions shall be calculated using emission monitoring data or direct emissions measurements for the pollutant(s); mass balance calculations such as the amounts of the pollutant(s) entering and leaving process equipment and where mass balance calculations can be supported by direct measurement of process parameters, such direct measurement data shall be supplied; published emission factors such as those relating release quantities to throughput or equipment type (e.g., air emission factors); or other approaches such engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatilization using published mathematical formulas) or best engineering judgements where such judgements are derived from process and/or emission data which supports the estimates of maximum actual emission. (Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.A.2.)
(b) If the Commission determines that there is not sufficient information available
on a facility's emissions, the determination of the fee shall be based upon the
permitted allowable emissions until such time as an adequate determination
of actual emissions is made. Such determination may be made anytime within
one year of the submittal of actual emissions data by the permittee.
(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.A.2.) If at any time within the year the
Commission determines that the information submitted by the permittee on
actual emissions is insufficient or incorrect, the permittee will be notified of
the deficiencies and the adjusted fee schedule. Past due fees from the adjusted
fee schedule will be paid on the next scheduled quarterly payment time.
(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.D.2.)
! i
(c) The fee shall be due September 1 of each year. By July 1 of each year the
permittee shall submit an inventory of emissions for the previous year on
which the fee is to be assessed. The permittee may elect a quarterly payment
method of four (4) equal payments; notification of the election of quarterly
payments must be made to the DEQ by the first payment date of September
1. The permittee shall be liable for penalty as prescribed by State Law for
failure to pay the fee or quarterly portion thereof by the date due.
(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.D.)
i
(d) If in disagreement with the calculation or applicability of the Title V permit
fee, the permittee may petition the Commission inj writing for a hearing in
accordance with State Law. Any disputed portion of the fee for which a
hearing has been requested will not incur any penalty or interest from and
after the receipt by the Commission of {the hearing petition.
(Ref.: APC-S-6, Section VI.C.)
1.8 No permit revision shall be required under any approved economic incentives,
