(c)

DEQ determines that a General ACDP would appropriately regulate the source.

(3)

Short Term Activity ACDP. A Short Term Activity ACDP is a letter permit that authorizes the activity and includes any conditions placed upon the method or methods of operation of the activity. DEQ may issue a Short Term Activity ACDP for unexpected or emergency activities, operations, or emissions.

(4)

Basic ACDP. A Basic ACDP is a permit that authorizes the regulated source to operate in conformance with the rules contained in OAR 340 divisions 200 to 268.
