The Agency has established emission standards and operational requirements for selected small source categories. The standards and requirements contained in this section are intended to be representative of BACT for the affected sources. An air discharge permit application for criteria and/or toxic air pollutants pursuant to SWCAA 400-109 is not required for an emission unit that falls within one of the affected source categories, provided the owner or operator submits proper notification to the Agency and maintains compliance with the monitoring, recordkeeping, testing, and reporting requirements specified for the applicable source category. Any emission unit that fails to maintain continuing compliance with applicable requirements becomes subject to SWCAA 400-109.
All emission units covered by the provisions of this section are subject to registration pursuant to SWCAA 400-100 and periodic inspection by Agency representatives.
(1) Exceptions.
(a) The owner or operator of an emission unit meeting any of the applicability criteria listed below may voluntarily elect to file an air discharge permit application pursuant to SWCAA 400-109.
(b) If an emission unit meeting the applicability criteria listed in any part of this section is located at a "stationary source" that is otherwise required to be permitted pursuant to SWCAA 400-109, the Agency may require that the emission unit be included in the permit for the affected "stationary source".
(2) Agency notification.
