DECLARATION OF POLICY

Pollution prevention is recognized as the preferred strategy (over pollution control) for reducing risk to air resources. Accordingly, pollution prevention measures should be integrated into air pollution control programs wherever possible, and the adoption by sources of cost-effective compliance strategies, incorporating pollution prevention, is encouraged. The Department will give expedited consideration to any permit modification request based on pollution prevention principles.

The permittee is subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. These terms and conditions constitute provisions of Allegheny County Health Department Rules and Regulations, Article XXI Air Pollution Control.

The subject equipment has been conditionally approved for operation. The equipment shall be operated in conformity with the plans, specifications, conditions, and instructions which are part of your application, and may be periodically inspected for compliance by the Department. In the event that the terms and conditions of this permit or the applicable provisions of Article XXI conflict with the application for this permit, these terms and conditions and the applicable provisions of Article XXI shall prevail. Additionally, nothing in this permit relieves the permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable Federal, State and Local laws and regulations.

III. GENERAL CONDITIONS - Minor Source

It shall be a violation of this permit to fail to comply with, or to cause or assist in the violation of, any requirement of this permit, or any order or permit issued pursuant to authority granted by Article XXI.

The permittee shall not willfully, negligently, or through the failure to provide and operate necessary control equipment or to take necessary precautions, operate any source of air contaminants in such manner that emissions from such source:

a. Exceed the amounts permitted by this permit or by any order or permit issued pursuant to Article

XXI;

b. Cause an exceedance of the ambient air quality standards established by Article XXI §2101.10; or

c. May reasonably be anticipated to endanger the public health, safety, or welfare.

2. Definitions (§2101.20)

a. Except as specifically provided in this permit, terms used retain the meaning accorded them under the applicable provisions and requirements of Article XXI or the applicable federal or state regulation. Whenever used in this permit, or in any action taken pursuant to this permit, the words and phrases shall have the meanings stated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

b. Unless specified otherwise in this permit or in the applicable regulation, the term “year” shall mean any twelve (12) consecutive months.

3. Conditions (§2102.03.c)

It shall be a violation of this permit giving rise to the remedies provided by Article XXI §2109.02, for any person to fail to comply with any terms or conditions set forth in this permit.

PA Air Guard - minop.doc 9 Issued: March 3, 2011

4. Certification (§2102.01)

25. Other Requirements not Affected (§2104.08, §2105.02)

Compliance with the requirements of this permit shall not in any manner relieve any person from the duty to fully comply with any other applicable Federal, State, or County statute, rule, regulation, or the like, including but not limited to the odor emission standards under Article XXI §2104.04, any applicable NSPSs, NESHAPs, MACTs, or Generally Achievable Control Technology (GACT) standards now or hereafter established by the EPA, and any applicable requirements of BACT or LAER as provided by Article XXI, any condition contained in any applicable Installation or Operating Permit and/or any additional or more stringent requirements contained in an order issued to such person pursuant to Article XXI Part I.

26. Termination of Operation (§2108.01.a)

In the event that operation of any source of air contaminants is permanently terminated, the person responsible for such source shall so report, in writing, to the Department within 60 days of such termination.

27. Tests by the Department (§2108.02.d)

29. Enforcement and Emergency Orders (§2109.03, §2109.05)

a. The person responsible for this source shall be subject to any and all enforcement and emergency orders issued to it by the Department in accordance with Article XXI §2109.03, §2109.04 and §2109.05.

b. Upon request, any person aggrieved by an Enforcement Order or Emergency Order shall be granted a hearing as provided by Article XXI §2109.03.d; provided however, that an Emergency Order shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the pendency of any such appeal.

c. Failure to comply with an Enforcement Order or immediately comply with an Emergency Order shall be a violation of this permit thus giving rise to the remedies provided by Article XXI §2109.02.

30. Penalties, Fines, and Interest (§2109.07.a)

A source that fails to pay any fee required under this permit when due shall pay a civil penalty of 50% of the fee amount, plus interest on the fee amount computed in accordance with Article XXI §2109.06.a.4 from the date the fee was required to be paid. In addition, the source may have this permit revoked for failure to pay any fee required.

31. Appeals (§2109.10)
