N.J. Admin. Code § 7:27-8.19

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 7:27-8.19 - Compliance plan changes

(a) The following actions require prior Department approval of a compliance plan change:

1. A decrease in the frequency of testing, monitoring, recordkeeping or reporting, to below the frequency specified in the permit and certificate;

2. A change in monitoring method;

3. A change in a level, rate, or limit for an operational parameter if:

i. The change would cause the source to operate outside of the range set by the permit for that parameter;

ii. The parameter is required under the permit and certificate to be tested, monitored, recorded, or reported to the Department; and

iii. The level, rate, or limit is not an emission limit; and

4. A reduction in a source's potential to emit, through any of the actions listed at i through iii below. The permittee may take these actions without contacting the Department, but the reduction in potential to emit does not take effect until the Department approves the compliance plan change, making the emission decrease Federally enforceable. Until Department approval, the source's potential to emit remains unchanged. The following types of actions may be taken to reduce potential to emit under this paragraph:

i. A decrease in a maximum allowable emission rate;

ii. A decrease in maximum allowable hours of operation per time period (number of batches per time period for batch operations); or

iii. A decrease in maximum allowable production rate (production amount per batch for batch operations).

(b) The applicant may not proceed with a compliance plan change until the Department issues a written approval of the change, except for emission decreases that are not reflected in a change to a source's potential to emit made under (a)4 above.
