Rules Repealed: 340-230-0400, 340-230-0410
Subject: The proposed rules would adopt standards to implement
new and amended federal air quality regulations. The objectives of this
rulemaking are to:
• Protect public
health;
• Implement
federally-delegated programs that regulate hazardous air pollutants and other
air pollutants; and
• Improve
Oregon’s implementation of these programs.
If adopted, this
proposal would:
• Adopt by
reference federal area source standards regulating asphalt processing and
asphalt roofing manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, chemical preparation,
paint and allied product manufacturing, and prepared feeds manufacturing;
• Repeal the
adoption of existing federal standards regulating stationary internal
combustion engines;
• Add paint and
allied product manufacturing to the list of business categories eligible to
obtain a simple or general permit, and assign this source category to a general
ACDP annual fee class;
• Allow DEQ to
defer the requirement to submit an application for, or to obtain an ACDP for up
to twelve months;
• Allow DEQ to
use a portion of the ACDP non-technical permit modification fee to cover the
change of ownership fee required in the underground storage tank rules;
• Split the metal
fabrication and finishing source category into multiple fee classes;
• Exempt small
metal fabrication and finishing facilities and small commercial ethylene oxide
sterilization operations from permitting;
• Extend the
permit exemption for gasoline dispensing facilities with aboveground storage
tanks that dispense less than 10,000 gallons of gasoline per month to also
include those with underground tanks;
• Clarify that
the gasoline dispensing rule that prohibits “topping off” applies to the
equipment used for the refueling of motor vehicles;
• Correct an
error that occurred in merging separate rules affecting gasoline dispensing
facilities that inadvertently exempted aviation gasoline from emission standards
required by the state implementation plan;
• Clarify the
requirements for gasoline cargo tanks, the calculation of monthly throughput,
and when compliance demonstration testing is required;
• Update the
adoption by reference of existing federal rules to keep them consistent with
federal amendments; and
• Repeal the
rules that implement the federal emission guidelines for hospital, medical and
infectious waste incinerators.

State of Oregon Clean Air Act
Implementation Plan
(1) This implementation plan, consisting of Volumes 2
and 3 of the State of Oregon Air Quality Control Program, contains control
strategies, rules and standards prepared by the Department of Environmental Quality
and is adopted as the state implementation plan (SIP) of the State of Oregon
pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.A 7401 to 7671q.
(2) Except as provided in section (3), revisions to the
SIP will be made pursuant to the Commission’s rulemaking procedures in division
11 of this chapter and any other requirements contained in the SIP and will be
submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The State Implementation Plan was last modified by the Commission on February
17, 2011.
(3) Notwithstanding any other requirement contained in
the SIP, the Department may:
(a) Submit to the Environmental Protection Agency any
permit condition implementing a rule that is part of the federally-approved SIP
as a source-specific SIP revision after the Department has complied with the
public hearings provisions of 40 CFR 51.102 (July 1, 2002); and
(b) Approve the standards submitted by a regional
authority if the regional authority adopts verbatim any standard that the
Commission has adopted, and submit the standards to EPA for approval as a SIP
revision.
NOTE: Revisions to the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation
Plan become federally enforceable upon approval by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency. If any provision of the federally approved
Implementation Plan conflicts with any provision adopted by the Commission, the
Department shall enforce the more stringent provision.

Applicability
This division applies to all sources referred to in Table
1. This division also applies to Oregon Title V Operating Permit program
sources when an ACDP is required by OAR 340-218-0020 or 340-224-0010. Sources
referred to in Table 1 are subject to fees as set forth in Table 2.
(1) No person may construct, install, establish,
develop or operate any air contaminant source which is referred to in Table 1
without first obtaining an Air Contaminant Discharge Permit (ACDP) from the
Department or Regional Authority, unless otherwise deferred from the
requirement to obtain an ACDP in subsection (1)(c) or (d) of this rule. No
person may continue to operate an air contaminant source if the ACDP expires,
or is terminated or revoked; except as provided in OAR 340-216-0082.
(a) For portable sources, a single permit may be issued
for operating at any area of the state if the permit includes the requirements
from both the Department and Regional Authorities.
(b) The Department or Regional Authority where the
portable source’s Corporate offices are located will be responsible for issuing
the permit. If the corporate office of a portable source is located outside of
the state, the Department will be responsible for issuing the permit.
(c) An air contaminant source required to obtain an
ACDP or ACDP Attachment pursuant to a NESHAP or NSPS adopted by the Commission
by rule is not required to submit an application for an ACDP or ACDP Attachment
until four months after the effective date of the Commission’s adoption of the
NESHAP or NSPS, and is not required to obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment until
six months after the Commission’s adoption of the NESHAP or NSPS. In addition,
the Department may defer the requirement to submit an application for, or to
obtain an ACDP or ACDP Attachment, or both, for up to an additional twelve
months.
(d) Gasoline dispensing facilities are not required to
submit an application for an ACDP or ACDP Attachment until May 1, 2010 or
obtain an ACDP or ACDP attachment until June 1, 2010. The Department may defer
the requirement to submit an application for, or to obtain an ACDP or ACDP
Attachment, or both, for up to an additional six months.
(e) Deferrals of Oregon permitting requirements do not
relieve an air contaminant source from the responsibility of complying with
federal NESHAP or NSPS requirements.
(2) No person may construct, install, establish, or
develop any source that will be subject to the Oregon Title V Operating Permit
program without first obtaining an ACDP from the Department or Regional
Authority.
(3) No person may modify any source that has been
issued an ACDP without first complying with the requirements of OAR
340-210-0205 through 340-210-0250.
(4) No person may modify any source required to have an
ACDP such that the source becomes subject to the Oregon Title V Operating
Permit program without complying with the requirements of OAR 340-210-0205
through 340-210-0250.
(5) No person may increase emissions above the PSEL by
more than the de minimis levels specified in OAR 340-200-0020 without first
applying for and obtaining a modified ACDP.

Definitions
The definitions in OAR 340-200-0020, 340-218-0030 and
this rule apply to this division. If the same term is defined in this rule and
OAR 340-200-0020 or 340-218-0030, the definition in this rule applies to this
division.
(1) “Accidental Release” means an unanticipated
emission of a regulated substance or other extremely hazardous substance into
the ambient air from a stationary source.
(2) “Annual throughput” means the amount of gasoline
transferred into a gasoline dispensing facility during 12 consecutive months.

otherwise expressly identified, refers to the July 1, 2010 edition.
(5) “Construct a major source” means to fabricate,
erect, or install at any greenfield site a stationary source or group of
stationary sources which is located within a contiguous area and under common
control and which emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of any
HAPs or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP, or to fabricate, erect, or
install at any developed site a new process or production unit which in and of
itself emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of any HAP or 25
tons per year of any combination of HAP, unless the process or production unit
satisfies criteria in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this definition:
(a) All HAP emitted by the process or production unit
that would otherwise be controlled under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart B will be controlled by emission control equipment which was previously
installed at the same site as the process or production unit;
(b) The Department has determined within a period of 5
years prior to the fabrication, erection, or installation of the process or
production unit that the existing emission control equipment represented the
best available control technology (BACT), lowest achievable emission rate
(LAER) under 40 CFR part 51 or 52, toxics-best available control technology
(T-BACT), or MACT based on State air toxic rules for the category of pollutants
which includes those HAP to be emitted by the process or production unit; or
the Department determines that the control of HAP emissions provided by the
existing equipment will be equivalent to that level of control currently
achieved by other well-controlled similar sources (i.e., equivalent to the
level of control that would be provided by a current BACT, LAER, T-BACT, or
State air toxic rule MACT determination).
(c) The Department determines that the percent control
efficiency for emission of HAP from all sources to be controlled by the
existing control equipment will be equivalent to the percent control efficiency
provided by the control equipment prior to the inclusion of the new process or
production unit;
(d) The Department has provided notice and an
opportunity for public comment concerning its determination that criteria in
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this definition apply and concerning the
continued adequacy of any prior LAER, BACT, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule
MACT determination;
(e) If any commenter has asserted that a prior LAER,
BACT, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule MACT determination is no longer adequate,
the Department has determined that the level of control required by that prior
determination remains adequate; and
(f) Any emission limitations, work practice
requirements, or other terms and conditions upon which the above determinations
by the Department are predicated will be construed by the Department as
applicable requirements under section 504(a) and either have been incorporated
into any existing Title V permit for the affected facility or will be
incorporated into such permit upon issuance.
(6) “Dual-point vapor balance system” means a type of
vapor balance system in which the storage tank is equipped with an entry port
for a gasoline fill pipe and a separate exit port for a vapor connection.
(7) “Emissions Limitation” and “Emissions Standard”
mean a requirement adopted by the Department or Regional Agency, or proposed or
promulgated by the Administrator of the EPA, which limits the quantity, rate,
or concentration of emissions of air pollutants on a continuous basis,
including any requirements which limit the level of opacity, prescribe
equipment, set fuel specifications, or prescribe operation or maintenance procedures
for a source to assure continuous emission reduction.
(8) “Equipment leaks” means leaks from pumps,
compressors, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open ended
valves or lines, valves, connectors, agitators, accumulator vessels, and instrumentation
systems in hazardous air pollutant service.
(9) “Existing Source” means any source, the
construction of which commenced prior to proposal of an applicable standard
under sections 112 or 129 of the FCAA.
(10) “Facility” means all or part of any public or
private building, structure, installation, equipment, or vehicle or vessel,
including but not limited to ships.
(11) “Gasoline” means any petroleum distillate/alcohol
blend having a Reid vapor pressure of 27.6 kilopascals (4.0 psi) or greater
which is used as a fuel for internal combustion engines.
(12) “Gasoline cargo tank” means a delivery tank truck
or railcar which is loading or unloading gasoline or which has loaded or
unloaded gasoline on the immediately previous load.
(13) “Gasoline dispensing facility (GDF)” means any
stationary facility which dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of a motor
vehicle. In Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties, the Medford-Ashland
Air Quality Maintenance Area, and the Salem-Keizer Area Transportation Study
area, “gasoline dispensing facility” means any stationary facility which
dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane.
(14) “Hazardous Air Pollutant” (HAP) means an air
pollutant listed by the EPA pursuant to section 112(b) of the FCAA or
determined by the Commission to cause, or reasonably be anticipated to cause,
adverse effects to human health or the environment.
(15) “Major Source” means any stationary source or
group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common
control that emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in the
aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons
per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants. The EPA may
establish a lesser quantity, or in the case of radionuclides different
criteria, for a major source on the basis of the potency of the air pollutant,
persistence, potential for bioaccumulation, other characteristics of the air
pollutant, or other relevant factors.
(16) “Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)”
means an emission standard applicable to major sources of hazardous air
pollutants that requires the maximum degree of reduction in emissions deemed
achievable for either new or existing sources.
(17) “Monthly throughput” means the total volume of
gasoline that is loaded into, or dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at
each GDF during a month. Monthly throughput is calculated by summing the volume
of gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at each
GDF during the current day, plus the total volume of gasoline loaded into, or
dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at each GDF during the previous 364
days, and then dividing that sum by 12.
(18) “New Source” means a stationary source, the
construction of which is commenced after proposal of a federal MACT or January
3, 1993 of this Division, whichever is earlier.
(19) “Potential to Emit” means the maximum capacity of
a stationary source to emit any air pollutant under its physical and
operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a
source to emit an air pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and
restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material
combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the
limitation is enforceable by the EPA. This section does not alter or affect the
use of this section for any other purposes under the Act, or the term “capacity
factor” as used in Title IV of the Act or the regulations promulgated
thereunder. Secondary emissions shall not be considered in determining the
potential to emit of a source.
(20) “Reconstruct a Major Source” means the replacement
of components at an existing process or production unit that in and of itself
emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of any HAP or 25 tons per
year of any combination of HAP, whenever: the fixed capital cost of the new
components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would be required
to construct a comparable process or production unit; and; it is technically
and economically feasible for the reconstructed major source to meet the
applicable maximum achievable control technology emission limitation for new
sources established under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart B.
(21) “Regulated Air Pollutant” as used in this Division
means:
(a) Any pollutant listed under OAR 340-200-0400 or
340-244-0230; or
(b) Any pollutant that is subject to a standard
promulgated pursuant to Section 129 of the Act.
(22) “Section 112(n)” means that subsection of the FCAA
that includes requirements for the EPA to conduct studies on the hazards to
public health prior to developing emissions standards for specified categories
of hazardous air pollutant emission sources.
(23) “Section 112(r)” means that subsection of the FCAA
that includes requirements for the EPA promulgate regulations for the
prevention, detection and correction of accidental releases.

this subpart, the filling of a gasoline storage tank through a submerged fill
pipe whose discharge is no more than the applicable distance specified in OAR
340-244-0240(3) from the bottom of the tank. Bottom filling of gasoline storage
tanks is included in this definition.
(27) “Topping off” means, in the absence of equipment
malfunction, continuing to fill a gasoline tank after the nozzle has clicked
off.
(28) “Vapor balance system” means a combination of

unloading gasoline cargo tank and a receiving storage tank such that vapors
displaced from the storage tank are transferred to the gasoline cargo tank
being unloaded.
(29) “Vapor-tight” means equipment that allows no loss
of vapors. Compliance with vapor-tight requirements can be determined by
checking to ensure that the concentration at a potential leak source is not
equal to or greater than 100 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit when measured
with a combustible gas detector, calibrated with propane, at a distance of 1
inch from the source.

Subject: This rulemaking implements the requirements of Senate
Bill 102, a measure passed by the 2009 Oregon Legislature to protect Oregonians
from uncontrolled wood smoke. The rules implement the statutory requirement for
homeowners to remove and destroy any uncertified woodstove at the time of home
sale and to notify DEQ. The rules subject a broader range of home and
commercial heating devices (including outdoor wood-fired boilers and other
uncontrolled wood burning devices) to certification requirements. Unless these
heating devices meet the certification requirements, they will not be allowed
to be sold in Oregon. The rules also update DEQ rules for implementing a wood
burning curtailment program in a nonattainment area if needed.
These rules will
also be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to
the Oregon State Implementation Plan under OAR 340-200-0040.

State of Oregon Clean Air Act
Implementation Plan
(1) This implementation plan, consisting of Volumes 2
and 3 of the State of Oregon Air Quality Control Program, contains control
strategies, rules and standards prepared by the Department of Environmental
Quality and is adopted as the state implementation plan (SIP) of the State of
Oregon pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.A 7401 to 7671q.
(2) Except as provided in section (3), revisions to the
SIP will be made pursuant to the Commission’s rulemaking procedures in division
11 of this chapter and any other requirements contained in the SIP and will be
submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The State Implementation Plan was last modified by the Commission on February
18, 2011.
(3) Notwithstanding any other requirement contained in
the SIP, the Department may:
(a) Submit to the Environmental Protection Agency any
permit condition implementing a rule that is part of the federally-approved SIP
as a source-specific SIP revision after the Department has complied with the
public hearings provisions of 40 CFR 51.102 (July 1, 2002); and
(b) Approve the standards submitted by a regional
authority if the regional authority adopts verbatim any standard that the
Commission has adopted, and submit the standards to EPA for approval as a SIP
revision.
NOTE: Revisions to the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation
Plan become federally enforceable upon approval by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency. If any provision of the federally approved
Implementation Plan conflicts with any provision adopted by the Commission, the
Department shall enforce the more stringent provision.

Wood Burning and Other Heating
Devices Curtailment Program
(1) Applicability.
(a) The wood burning and other heating devices
curtailment program applies to any portion of the state where required as an
emission reduction strategy or contingency plan for PM10 or PM 2.5
nonattainment or maintenance areas as an element of the State of Oregon Clean
Air Act Implementation Plan adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
(b) If a local government or regional authority has not
adopted or is not adequately implementing a curtailment program in any area of
the state where such a program is required, the Department will operate and
enforce a program to curtail solid fuel heating during periods of air
stagnation.
(c) To determine whether a local government or regional
authority has failed to adopt or adequately implement a curtailment program,
the Department shall consider whether a local government or regional authority:
(A) Has adopted an ordinance that requires the curtailment
of solid fuel heating at forecasted air pollution levels which are consistent
with the curtailment conditions and requirements specified in sections (3) and
(4);
(B) Is issuing on a daily basis, curtailment advisories
to the public consistent with section (5); and
(C) Is conducting surveillance for compliance and is
taking adequate enforcement actions consistent with sections (6) to (8).
(2) Exempt from this rule. Curtailed heating
under this rule does not apply to:
(a) Solid fuel burning devices or other solid fuel
heating operated within a household classified to be less than or equal to 125
percent of the current federal poverty income guidelines accessible through the
Oregon Center for Public Policy;
(b) Solid fuel burning devices operated in a residence
where the solid fuel burning device is the sole heating source; and
(c) Pellet stoves, unless the pellet stove is located
in a nonattainment area in this state that does not attain compliance with
standards for particulate matter established by the commission pursuant to ORS
468A.025.
(3) Air stagnation levels. DEQ or DEQ’s
representative must use appropriate data and technology to establish the air
stagnation levels used to curtail burning in PM10 or PM 2.5 nonattainment
areas. The program must designate a:
(a) Stage I advisory when the PM10 or PM 2.5
standard is being approached; and
(b) Stage II advisory when an exceedance of the
PM10 or PM 2.5 standard is forecast as imminent.
(4) Curtailed burning. Unless exempt under
section (2), the wood burning curtailment program prohibits operation of:
(a) All heating by means of solid fuel, including but
not limited to solid fuel burning devices, fireplaces, masonry heaters, pellet
stoves, trash burners and all devices described in ORS 468A.485(4)(b), that
were not certified for sale as new by DEQ or EPA, during a designated Stage I
advisory when the PM10 or PM2.5 standard is being approached.
(b) All heating by means of solid fuel, including but
not limited to solid fuel burning devices, fireplaces, masonry heaters, pellet
stoves, trash burners and all devices described in ORS 468A.485(4)(b), whether
or not those devices were certified for sale as new by DEQ or EPA, during a
designated Stage II advisory when an exceedance of the PM10 or PM2.5 standard is
forecasted to be imminent.
(5) Daily air pollution advisories. DEQ or the
DEQ representative (local or regional government) must disseminate daily air
pollution advisories to the local community that must include any air
stagnation levels under section (3) and curtailed burning under section (4)
during the winter wood heating season.
(6) Monitoring and enforcement. DEQ or the DEQ
representative:
(a) Must monitor compliance with the wood burning
curtailment program during curtailed burning under section (4); and
(b) May initiate enforcement action for smoke emitted
through a flue or chimney during curtailed burning under section (4). Smoke
emitted during curtailed burning raises a rebuttable presumption of a violation
subject to OAR chapter 340, division 12.
(7) Exempt from enforcement action. A person may
respond to an enforcement action initiated under subsection (6)(b) by
submitting a signed affidavit and documentation sufficient for DEQ to
establish:
(a) For a low income exemption under subsection (2)(a),
a copy of the previous year tax returns with redacted Social Security Numbers.
The tax return must reflect the total combined household income for the past
year; or
(b) For a sole-source heating exemption under
subsection (2)(b), a signed affidavit attesting to the device’s status as the
sole heating source of the residence. The exemption is valid for the current
woodheating season in which the person is claiming the exemption.
(8) Exempt status review. DEQ or the DEQ
representative must review documentation submitted under section (7) to
determine the exempt status of the household or solid fuel burning device. DEQ
shall notify the person claiming exempt status of the:
(a) Approval of exempt status and the dismissal of the
enforcement action under section (6); or
(b) Denial of exempt status including the reason.
(9) Suspension of Department program. DEQ shall
suspend the operation and enforcement of (2) through (8) of this rule if the
Department determines the local government or regional authority has adopted
and is adequately implementing a wood burning and other heating devices
curtailment program that is at least as stringent as the program outlined in
this rule.

facility permit issued by the DEQ pursuant to ORS 468B.050 for a sewage
treatment facility that has a dry weather design flow capacity of one million
gallons per day or more.
(c) “Initiation level” is the concentration of a
persistent pollutant in a permittee’s effluent that, if exceeded, necessitates
the preparation of a persistent pollutant reduction plan under ORS 468B.140.
(2) Initiation levels.
(a) Initiation levels for persistent pollutants are
those values contained in Table A, or the analytical quantitation limit
(concentration at which quantitative results can be reported with a high degree
of confidence), whichever is higher.
(b) Initiation levels are not standards of quality and
purity for the waters of this state for the purposes of ORS 468B.048 or the
federal Clean Water Act.
(c) Except as specified in subsection (f), each
permittee must measure the concentration of the persistent pollutants listed in
Table A in its effluent, compare the results of these measurements to the
initiation levels, determine whether any persistent pollutant exceeds its
initiation level, and document this proposed determination in a report to the
Department. For existing permittees, the report must be filed no later than 60
calendar days after receipt of laboratory results. For permittees that first
become subject to this rule after its effective date, the report must be filed
within 18 months after the permittee becomes subject to the rule.
(d) The Department will review this report to verify
that the proposed determination is based on reliable information. If the
Department finds that the proposed determination is not based on reliable
information, the Department will make an independent determination of whether a
initiation level has been exceeded.
(e) Except as specified in subsection (g), each
permittee must prepare and submit to the Department a written persistent
pollutant reduction plan in accordance with ORS 468B.140(1)(a) addressing
persistent pollutants that exceed the initiation level. For existing
permittees, the plan must be submitted no later than July 1, 2011. For
permittees that first become subject to this rule after the effective date of
this rule, the plan must be submitted to the Department within six months after
the report is submitted, or, if the Department makes an independent
determination, six months from the date of the Department’s independent
determination or within a timeframe established by the Department.
(f) The Department may suspend, by written order, the
requirement to measure or develop a persistent pollutant reduction plan for a
listed persistent pollutant if the Department determines it is not technically
practicable to measure the pollutant in effluent or if the Department removes a
pollutant from the Priority Persistent Pollutant List. If, based on additional
monitoring done pursuant to a persistent pollutant reduction plan, the
Department determines that it is unlikely that a pollutant exists in a
permittee’s effluent, the Department may allow the permittee to withdraw the
pollutant from inclusion in the persistent pollutant reduction plan.
(g) Permittees are not required to develop a persistent
pollutant reduction plan to address cholesterol or coprostanol based on the
absence of municipal pollution prevention activities, as well as the absence of
conclusive evidence in the scientific literature that these pollutants have
documented harmful effects on the health and well-being of humans, fish or
wildlife, in accordance with ORS 468B.139, and the absence of cost-effective
treatment options. Table A. [Table not included. See ED. NOTE.]
