TUOLUMNE COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT
RULE 410 - CALCULATION OF EMISSIONS
- The maximum design capacity of a new facility or modification shall be used to
determine the emissions from the new facility or modification unless the applicant, as a condition to receiving
Authorities to Construct and Permits to Operate for such new facility or modification, agrees to a limitation on
the operation of the new facility or modification. Such limitation shall be used to establish the maximum emissions
from the new facility or modification and shall be attached as a condition to the Permits to Operate. Allowable
emissions shall be calculated on the basis of the emissions limitation contained in these Rules and Regulations
as of the date the Air Pollution Control Officer deems the application for Authority to Construct complete.
- The maximum emissions for an existing facility shall be based on the actual operating
conditions averaged over the two year period preceding the date of application, or such other averaging period
as determined by the Air Pollution Control Officer if the source did not operate, or operated irregularly, during
the preceding two year period. If violation of laws, rules, regulations, permit conditions or orders of the District,
the Air Resources Board or the Environmental Protection Agency occurred during the period used to determine the
actual operating conditions, then adjustments to the operating conditions shall be made to determine the emissions
the existing facility would have caused without such violations.
- When computing the net increases in emissions for modifications, the Air Pollution
Control Officer shall take into account the cumulative net emissions changes which are represented by Authorities
to Construct associated with the existing facility, and issued after January 1, 1981, excluding any emissions reductions
required to comply with federal, state, or District laws, rules or regulations.
