Section 58.01.01.461 - REQUIREMENTS FOR BANKING EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS (ERC'S)01.Application to Bank an ERC. The owner or operator of any facility may apply to the Department for a Tier I or Tier II operating permit (or a revision thereto) to bank an emission reduction credit. An application to bank an emission reduction credit must be received by the Department no later than one (1) year after the reduction occurs. The Department may issue or revise such a Tier I or Tier II operating permit and a "Certificate of Ownership" for an emission reduction credit, provided that all emission reductions satisfy the requirements of Section 460. (3-28-23)02.Banking Period. Emission reduction credits may be banked with the Department. The banked emission reduction credits may be used for offsets, netting in accordance with the definition of net emissions increase at Section 007, or sold to other facilities. The use of banked emission reduction credits must satisfy the applicable requirements of the program in which they are proposed for use, including approval of a permit to construct or a Tier I or Tier II operating permit. (3-28-23)03.Certificate of Ownership. Upon issuing or revising a Tier I or Tier II operating permit for an emission reduction credit, the Department will issue a "Certificate of Ownership" that will identify the owner of the credits, quantify the credited emission reduction and describe the characteristics of the emissions that were reduced and emissions unit(s) that previously emitted them. (3-28-23)04.Adjustment by Department. If at any time the Department, or the owner or operator of a facility that has produced an emission reduction credit, finds that the actual reduction in emissions differs from that in the certificate of ownership, the Department will adjust the amount of banked emission reduction credits to reflect the actual emission reduction and issue a revised certificate of ownership. (3-28-23)05.Proportional Discounts. If at any time the Department finds that additional emission reductions are necessary to attain and maintain any ambient air quality standard or applicable prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) increment, banked emission reduction credits at facilities in the affected area may be proportionally discounted by an amount that will not exceed the percentage of emission reduction required for that area. (3-28-23)06.Transfer of Ownership. Whenever the holder of a certificate of ownership for banked emission reduction credits, sells or otherwise transfers ownership of all or part of the banked credits, the holder must submit the certificate of ownership to the Department. The Department will issue a revised certificate(s) of ownership that reflects the old and new holder(s) and amount(s) of banked emission reduction credits. (3-28-23)07.Public Registry. The Department will maintain a public registry of all banked emissions reduction credits, indicating the current holder of each certificate of ownership and the amount and type of credited emissions.
