42301.17
. (a) A district may adopt by regulation a program under
which the district does not require a permit to be obtained by an
agricultural source of air pollution that the district may otherwise
require to obtain a permit if the owner or operator of the source has
taken the following actions to reduce emissions from the source:
(1) Removed all internal combustion engines used in the production
of crops or the raising of fowl or animals, except an engine that is
used to propel implements of husbandry, at the source and replaced
them with engines that meet or exceed the most stringent standards
adopted by the state board and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency for new internal combustion engines.
(2) Reduced or mitigated emissions from all agricultural
activities, including, but not limited to, tilling, discing,
cultivation, the raising of livestock and fowl, and similar
activities, to a level that the district determines does not cause,
or contribute to, a violation of a state or federal ambient air
standard, toxic air contaminant, or other air emission limitation.
(3) Reduced or mitigated all emissions from any farm equipment,
underground petroleum fuel tanks, or other similar equipment used in
agricultural activities to a level that the district determines does
not cause or contribute to a violation of a state or federal ambient
air standard, toxic air contaminant, or other air emission
limitation.
(4) Complied with any other conditions required by state or
federal law or district rule or regulation for the source.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to those permits required to be
issued pursuant to Title I (42 U.S.C. Sec. 7401 et seq.) or Title V
(42 U.S.C. Sec. 7661 et seq.).
