PERMIT FLEXIBILITY Condition Number Conditions F.1 The facility may install exempt sources as allowed in S.C. Regulation 61-62.1,Section II.B, without revising or reopening the operating permit. The addition of these sources is allowed without a construction permit except when the activity triggers a new operating permit status (i.e. does not potentially subject the facility to the Title V operating permit program) and/or any activity triggers major source or synthetic minor permitting requirements. A list of exempt sources must be maintained on site, along with any necessary documentation to support the determination that the source is exempt, and shall be made available to a Department representative upon request. The list and necessary documentation shall be submitted with the next renewal application. Emissions from these sources shall be reflected in the facility-wide emissions tabulation in any subsequent construction permit application.

AMBIENT AIR STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS Condition Number Conditions G.1 Air dispersion modeling (or other method) has demonstrated that this facilitys operation will not interfere with the attainment and maintenance of any state or federal ambient air standard. Any changes in the parameters used in this demonstration may require a review by the facility to determine continuing compliance with these standards. These potential changes include any decrease in stack height, decrease in stack velocity, increase in stack diameter, decrease in stack exit temperature, increase in building height or building additions, increase in emission rates, decrease in distance between stack and property line, changes in vertical stack orientation, and installation of a rain cap that impedes vertical flow. Parameters that are not required in the determination will not invalidate the demonstration if they are modified. The emission rates used in the determination are listed in Attachment - Emission Rates for Ambient Air Standards of this permit. Higher emission rates may be administratively incorporated into Attachment - Emission Rates for Ambient Air Standards of this permit provided a demonstration using these higher emission rates shows the attainment and maintenance of any state or federal ambient air quality standard or with any other applicable requirement. Variations from the input parameters in the demonstration shall not constitute a violation unless the maximum allowable ambient concentrations identified in the standard are exceeded.
The owner/operator shall maintain this facility at or below the emission rates as listed in Attachment
- Emission Rates for Ambient Air Standards, not to exceed the pollutant limitations of this permit.
Should the facility wish to increase the emission rates listed in Attachment - Emission Rates for Ambient Air Standards, not to exceed the pollutant limitations in the body of this permit, it may do so by the administrative process specified above. This is a State Only enforceable requirement.
