. It is the intent of the Legislature that, in addition to
their responsibilities and obligations under state and federal law,
in implementing Title V, districts do all of the following, to the
extent feasible:
(a) Develop, in recognition that districts are obligated to issue
one-third of the Title V permits within one year of the Title V
program's approval by the Environmental Protection Agency, and in
recognition that sources are allowed one year to submit a Title V
permit application, an equitable program for ensuring that all
sources receive as much time as feasible to develop and submit permit
applications. In developing the program the districts shall
recognize the complexity and size of the facilities, the number and
similarity of facilities within each industry category, the level of
effort required to develop the permit application, and the resources
available to complete the application. The districts should also
consider potential incentive programs to promote voluntary early
permit application submissions.
(b) Consider the advantages and disadvantages of including the
permit shield authorized by subsection (f) of Section 70.6 of Title
40 of the Code of Federal Regulations in all Title V permits to
clarify the federal compliance responsibilities of Title V sources.
(c) Consistent with state and federal regulations, allow the use
of emission monitoring alternatives, when available and having the
accuracy required to ensure enforcement and compliance, in lieu of
the use of continuous emission monitors.
(d) Encourage the issuance of Title V permits for five-year terms.
