Section 42301.12 Of Article 1. Permits From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 1.
42301.12
. (a) Any district permit system or permit provision
established by a district board to meet the requirements of Title V
shall, consistent with federal law, minimize the regulatory burden on
Title V sources and the district and shall meet all of the following
criteria:
(1) Apply only to Title V sources.
(2) Issue permits pursuant to Title V only after the Environmental
Protection Agency has approved the district's Title V permit
program.
(3) Identify in the permit, to the greatest extent feasible,
permit terms and conditions which are federally enforceable and those
which are not federally enforceable. A district shall make that
identification by either of the following means:
(A) Identifying in the permit the terms and conditions that are
federally enforceable because they are imposed pursuant to a federal
requirement or because the source has requested the terms and
conditions and federal enforceability thereof and the permitting
district has not determined that the request does not meet all
applicable federal requirements and guidelines.
(B) Identifying in the permit the terms and conditions which are
imposed pursuant to state law or district rules and are not federally
enforceable. Districts may further identify those terms and
conditions of the permit which are not federally enforceable, but
which have been included in the permit to enforce district rules
adopted by the district to meet federal requirements.
(4) Utilize, to the extent reasonably feasible, general permits
and similar methods to reduce source and district permitting burdens
for Title V sources.
(5) Establish clear and simple application completeness criteria.
(6) To the extent feasible, minimize the burden of federally
mandated paperwork such as recordkeeping and reporting documents.
(7) Allow sources maximum flexibility in selecting cost-effective,
reliable, and representative monitoring methods consistent with
applicable state and federal requirements.
(8) If a permit is required to be reopened to comply with Title V
requirements, base the reopening upon the federal criteria for
reopening and limit the reopening to only the federal component of
the Title V permit. This paragraph is not intended to limit in any
way the authority under state law to reopen permits.
(9) Authorize administrative permit amendments and minor permit
modifications as required by federal law.
(10) Provide that, unless the district determines that a Title V
application is not complete within 60 days of receipt of the
application, the application shall be deemed to be complete.
(11) Authorize, to the extent consistent with existing state law,
mandatory operational flexibility provisions required pursuant to
Part 70 (commencing with Section 70.1) of Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, and consider optional operational flexibility
provisions established pursuant to Part 70 (commencing with Section
70.1) of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Nothing in this
paragraph is intended to affect whatsoever any pending litigation.
(12) Make every reasonable effort, in partnership with Title V
sources and the state board, to evaluate and respond to the substance
of any objection to a proposed permit and to obtain expeditious
approval of Title V permits submitted to the Environmental Protection
Agency.
