Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
Section III-301 - PurposeA. This Chapter establishes regulatory permits as authorized by R.S. 30:2054(B)(9). Regulatory permits may be used to authorize emissions of air contaminants as defined in LAC 33:III.111 from the sources and activities identified in this Chapter by notifying the department of the planned activity using the appropriate form provided by the department. Sources and activities not addressed by a regulatory permit must be authorized in accordance with LAC 33:III.Chapter 5.B. Eligibility for a regulatory permit does not confer a vested right to coverage under such a permit. The department may require any person authorized to emit under a regulatory permit to apply for and/or obtain a site-specific air permit in accordance with LAC 33:III.Chapter 5. If the department requires a permittee authorized to emit under a regulatory permit to apply for a site-specific air permit, the department will notify the permittee in writing that a permit application is required. This notification will include a brief statement of the reasons for this decision, a deadline for the permittee to file the application, and a statement that on the effective date of issuance or denial of the site-specific air permit, coverage under the regulatory permit will automatically terminate. If a permittee fails to submit a site-specific air permit application as required by the date specified by the department, then the applicability of the regulatory permit to the individual permittee will be automatically terminated at the end of the date specified by the department for application submittal. The department may grant additional time to submit the application for a site-specific air permit upon request of the applicant.C. The department is not precluded from using a regulatory permit to authorize air emissions from an activity at a source operating under a site-specific air permit issued pursuant to LAC 33:III.Chapter 5 provided all eligibility requirements of the regulatory permit are satisfied.La.
