Title V Class I Operating Permits

• Operating Permit Renewals

• >200 Permit Renewals to be processed in next two years– 71 applications in house– 70 more applications to be received in 2008– 67 applications to be received in 2009


Emission Inventory Class I/II Initiative

• Facilities With Low Actual Emissions

• Letter Describes Class II Permits and Potential Advantages

• Switching to a Class II Is Strictly Voluntary

• 16 Letters Sent to Facilities Last Year

• Permitting Staff Working with Facilities during Class I Renewals


Emission Inventory Class I/II Initiative, Continued

• Exceptions – Facilities Required to Obtain Class I Regardless of Emissions– Landfills Subject to NSPS or KAR 28-19-722– Incinerators Subject to NSPS– Affected Units (Acid Rain Sources)– Most MACT Sources

• Contact BAR if interested in Class II Permit


Class III Air Operating Permits

• 1995 - KDHE registered non-major facilities under Class III permit program– Facilities deferred by EPA for Title V permit

requirements

• 2005 - EPA excluded several non-major facilities from needing Title V permit

• 2005 - KDHE eliminated requirement to obtain Class III permit

• All existing Class III permits are void

Ethanol Permits EPA Region VII Guidance

• EPA Manual– Environmental regulatory rules

– Requirements for construction and operation of ethanol production facilities

– Agricultural Website:

http://www.epa.gov/region07/priorities/agriculture/


KDHE Regulation Update Amend 200, 300 & 500 Series

• State and federal definitions consistent with industry use

• Adds definitions for updated permitting and public notice regulations

• Updates definitions of permits and approvals

• Adds new Ethanol PSD with 200-500 series (definitions and permitting)


KDHE Regulation Update Amend 200, 300 & 500 Series

• 200 Series – Definition Update

• 204 - Public Notice

• 300 Series – Construction Permits, Approvals and Registrations

• 500 Series – Operating Permits and Approvals

Amend 28-19-300 Series

• Construction Permits, Approvals, and Registrations

• Re-focus permit program on environmental benefits

• Build more efficient permit system

• Spend less time on insignificant sources


Amend 28-19-300 Series, Continued

• Most preconstruction documents that are now called “Permits” will be approvals.

• Establishes small–source registrations

• Permits – Title V operating, PSD, Nonattainment and Acid Rain (federal)


New and Amend 28-19-500 Series

• Clarifies Operating Requirements– 500: Applicability– 501: Emissions limitations– 502: Identical procedural requirements (parallels

construction process)

• Class I Permits

• Class II Approvals


Amend 28-19-510 thru 513

• Class I Operating Permits– 510 - Application timetable

– 511 - Application contents

KDHE Regulation UpdateVacatur of CAMR

• KDHE adopted Clean Air Mercury Rules 2007

• CAMR vacated Feb., 2008 by D.C. U.S. Court of Appeals

• EPA and States awaiting final ruling (mandate) to determine next steps

• Most States agree Hg monitoring installation should proceed


KDHE Regulation UpdateVacatur of CAMR, Continued

• EPA may be required to write MACT– How and When??

• Kansas Legislature– SB327 would require 80% reduction

• US Senate– Sen. Carper introduced Clean Air Planning

Act - 90% Hg reduction by 2015carper.senate.gov/press/record.cfm?id=292972


Greenhouse Gas (GHG) IssuesIn Kansas

• May, 2007, Kansas joins The Climate Registry with 30 other states

• Beginning October, 2007– KDHE estimates potential GHG emissions for

new construction – GHG paragraph in all permit cover letters to

voluntarily reduce GHG


Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Paragraph with Permits

• In October 2007 KDHE began addressing green house gas (GHG) emissions in Kansas to protect the health and environment of Kansans. To accomplish this task, KDHE will engage industries and stakeholders to establish goals for reducing GHG emissions and strategies to achieve them. Therefore, in accordance with K.S.A. 65-3005(j), KDHE is seeking your cooperation to voluntarily implement strategies, including the development and use of innovative technologies, market-based principles and other private initiatives to reduce or prevent GHG emissions.


Greenhouse Gas (GHG) IssuesIn Nearby States

• 2000 - Nebraska - Enacted legislation– Linked agricultural policy with GHG reduction

• 2006 –Missouri and Iowa join Midwest Greenhouse Gas Registry

• 2007 - Iowa requires construction permit applications to contain potential GHG emissions

• 2007 Oklahoma joins The Climate Registry


TCR Members as of February, 2008


EPA GHG Information

• EPA website lists regional efforts to address Climate Change– Develop GHG inventories and registries– Track renewable energy generation and

sales; – Implement coordinated GHG reduction

strategies– http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/index.html

BART Permitting Issues

• Regional Haze Agreements Will Require Controls

• Control Projects May Require Construction Permits, Including PSD Permits

• Regional Haze Agreement Control Requirements Will Be Incorporated in

Title V Permits


New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)

• Section 111 of the Clean Air Act,

• New Stationary Sources Performance Standards

• Requires EPA to establish emission standards

• 88 standards and associated test methods since 1971


Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
