INSTRUCTIONS: Permit-by-Rule Supplemental Form Emergency Generator/Pump/Compressor
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Provide complete responses to all applicable questions. Submittal of an incomplete form will delay review and processing. If you need assistance, contact your Ohio EPA District Office or Local Air Agency for assistance. Contact the Ohio EPA, Division of Air Pollution Control at (614) 644-2270 for more information on contacting your local district office or go to http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc and select the topic “District Offices and Local Air Agencies”. For more information on the permit-by-rule process, including online tracking of your notification form, go to http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/pbr/permitbyrule.aspx This is a notification form for an emergency electrical generator, water pump, or air compressor powered by an internal combustion engine which is intended to be to installed and/or operated according the permit-by-rule provisions of OAC 3745-31-03(A)(4)(b). This permit-by-rule provision is intended for emergency use equipment greater than 50 horsepower (37.3 Kilowatt) which does not operate more than 500 hours per rolling 12-month period. Please note the permit-by-rule does not apply to equipment employed regularly for intermittent, but not emergency, uses, e.g., electrical peak-shaving generators. An emergency generator/pump/compressor less than or equal to 50 horsepower which burns gasoline, natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, or distillate oil (with less than or equal to 0.5 per cent by weight sulfur) is exempt from permit-to-install requirements by OAC 3745- 31-03(A)(1)(nn). For copies of this regulation, contact your Ohio EPA District Office or Local Air Agency. State regulations may also be viewed and downloaded from the Ohio EPA website http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/regs/regs.aspx I. Check the appropriate box which describes the equipment. Specify the manufacturer, model number and the manufacturer’s rated output in either horsepower (HP) or Kilowatts (Kw) as appropriate. Specify the company’s identification number, name,
II. Check the appropriate box or boxes which describe all types of fuels the unit is capable of burning. Check “distillate oil” if burning diesel fuel. For distillate oils or diesel fuel, it is recommended the fuel supplier be consulted to assure the fuel sulfur content does not exceed 0.5 per cent by weight. Signature Requirements – This notification will be deemed incomplete if it is not signed by the appropriate signatory. Please see the following guidance at http://www.epa.ohio.gov/portals/27/title_v/respoff.pdf for more information on who is authorized to sign this form or contact your Ohio EPA District Office or Local Air Agency.
Permit-by-Rule Requirements: Emergency Generator/Pump/Compressor
Excerpts from applicable sections of Ohio Administrative Code 3745-31-03(A)(4) are included with these Instructions for convenience. An owner or operator of an emergency electrical generator, firefighting water pump, or air compressor powered by an internal combustion engine which intends to install and/or operate according to the permit-by-rule provisions must comply with all applicable requirements specified in paragraphs (A)(4)(a) – General Provisions, and (A)(4)(b) – Emergency electrical generator, emergency water pumps, or emergency air compressors. (4) Permit-by-rule exemptions The following air contaminant sources are exempt from the requirement to obtain a permit to install or permit-to-install and operate (PTIO). These exemptions are valid only as long as the owner or operator complies with all of the permit-by-rule general provisions, meets the qualifying criteria defined in the applicable permit-by-rule and complies with all of the requirements under the applicable permit-by-rule specific provisions. Upon request by the director, the owner or operator of a facility that has exceeded the permit-by-rule thresholds or that the director finds is causing or may cause a public nuisance in violation of rule 3745-15-07 of the Administrative Code shall submit an application for a permit to install or PTIO. These exemptions do not, however, exempt any air contaminant source from requirements of the federal Clean Air Act, including being considered for purposes of determining whether a facility constitutes a major source or is otherwise regulated under Chapter 3745-77 of the Administrative Code or any requirement to list insignificant activities and emission levels in a Title V permit application. In addition, this rule does not relieve the owner or operator from the requirement of including the emissions associated with the exempt sources into any major new source review permitting action. (a) General provisions These general provisions apply to all owner or operators who are utilizing one or more of the permit-by-rule exemptions listed in paragraphs (A)(4)(b) through (A)(4)(l). (i) Recordkeeping requirements
The owner or operator shall collect and maintain the records described for each air contaminant source exempted under paragraph (A)(4) of this rule and these records shall be retained in the owner or operator's files for a period of not less than five years, unless otherwise specified in each exemption. These records shall be made available to the director or any authorized representative of the director for review during normal business hours. (ii) Notification requirements for new installations For the purposes of this paragraph, a new permit-by-rule air contaminant source is an air contaminant source installed after the promulgation date of any new applicable permit-by-rule or July 29, 2005, whichever comes later. The owner or operator
notification in a form and manner prescribed by the director prior to installation of the air contaminant source. This notification, or form, shall be submitted to the appropriate Ohio environmental protection agency district office or local air agency, and shall contain the following information, at a minimum: (a) The owner or operator's and the facility contact's name; (b) The facility mailing address and telephone number; (c) The location of the air contaminant source(s); (d) A description of the air contaminant source, including any pollution control(s); and (e) A statement by the owner or operator that indicates which permit-by-rule applies to the air contaminant source. (iii) Notification requirements for existing permitted sources The owner or operator of an air contaminant source which is operating under an existing permit to install, PTIO and/or permit to operate may continue to operate in compliance with that permit or may submit a written request to the Ohio EPA to revoke any such individual permit or permits and to allow the air contaminant source to operate under the permit-by-rule provisions.
