Source Emission Reduction Plans
(1)
OAR 340-206-8010 (Air Pollution Episode ALERT Conditions Source Emission Reduction Plan Emission Control Actions to be Taken as Appropriate in Alert Episode Area) through 340-206-8030 (Air Pollution Episode EMERGENCY Conditions Emission Reduction Plan) set forth specific emission reduction measures which must be taken upon the declaration of an air pollution alert, air pollution warning, or air pollution emergency. Any person responsible for a source of air contamination within a Priority I AQCR must, upon declaration of any air pollution episode condition affecting the locality of the air contamination source, take all appropriate actions specified in the applicable rule and must take appropriate actions specified in an approved source emission reduction plan which has been submitted and is on file with DEQ.(2)
Any person responsible for the operation of any point source of air pollution which is located in a Priority I AQCR, located within an AQMA or located within a nonattainment area listed in 40 CFR, Part 81, and emits 100 tons or more of any regulated pollutant specified by subsection (a) or (b) must file a Source Emission Reduction Plan (SERP) with DEQ in accordance with the schedule described in section (4). Persons responsible for other point sources of air pollution located in a Priority I AQCR may optionally file a SERP with DEQ for approval. Such plans must specify procedures to implement the actions required by OAR 340-206-8010 (Air Pollution Episode ALERT Conditions Source Emission Reduction Plan Emission Control Actions to be Taken as Appropriate in Alert Episode Area) through 340-206-8030 (Air Pollution Episode EMERGENCY Conditions Emission Reduction Plan) and must be consistent with good engineering practice and safe operating procedures. Source emission reduction plans specified by this section are mandatory only for those sources which:(a)
Emit 100 tons per year or more of any regulated pollutant for which the nonattainment area, AQMA, or any portion of the AQMA is designated nonattainment; or(b)
Emit 100 tons per year or more of volatile organic compounds when the nonattainment area, AQMA or any portion of the AQMA is designated nonattainment for ozone.(3)
Municipal and county governments or other governmental body having jurisdiction in nonattainment areas where ambient levels of carbon monoxide, ozone or nitrogen dioxide qualify for Priority I ACQR classification, must cooperate with DEQ in developing a traffic control plan to be implemented during air pollution episodes of motor vehicle related emissions. Such plans must implement the actions required by OAR 340-206-8010 (Air Pollution Episode ALERT Conditions Source Emission Reduction Plan Emission Control Actions to be Taken as Appropriate in Alert Episode Area) through 340-206-8030 (Air Pollution Episode EMERGENCY Conditions Emission Reduction Plan) and must be consistent with good traffic management practice and public safety.(4)
DEQ must periodically review the source emission reduction plans to assure that they meet the requirements of this division. If deficiencies are found, DEQ must notify the persons responsible for the source. Within 60 days of such notice the person responsible for the source must prepare a corrected plan for approval by DEQ. Source emission reduction plans must not be effective until approved by DEQ.(5)
During an air pollution alert, warning or emergency episode, source emission reduction plans required by this rule must be available on the source premises for inspection by any person authorized to enforce the provisions of this division.
