OAR 340-224-0270
State New Source Review: Requirement for Sources in Attainment and Unclassified Areas


Within a designated attainment or unclassified area, a source subject to State NSR must meet the following requirements for each attainment pollutant:

(1)

Air Quality Protection:

(a)

Air Quality Analysis: The owner or operator of the source must comply with OAR 340-225-0050 (Requirements for Analysis in PSD Class II and Class III Areas)(1) and (2) and 340-225-0060 (Requirements for Demonstrating Compliance with Standards and Increments in PSD Class I Areas) for each regulated pollutant other than GHGs for which emissions will exceed the netting basis by the SER or more due to the proposed source or modification.

(b)

For increases of direct PM2.5 or PM2.5 precursors equal to or greater than the SER, the owner or operator of the source must provide an analysis of PM2.5 air quality impacts based on all increases of direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors.

(c)

The owner or operator of a federal major source must comply with OAR 340-225-0050 (Requirements for Analysis in PSD Class II and Class III Areas)(4) and 340-225-0070 (Requirements for Demonstrating Compliance with Air Quality Related Values Protection).

(d)

The owner or operator of the source must demonstrate that it will not cause or contribute to a new violation of an ambient air quality standard or PSD increment even if the single source impact is less than the significant impact level under OAR 340-225-0050 (Requirements for Analysis in PSD Class II and Class III Areas)(1).

(2)

Sources Impacting Other Designated Areas: The owner or operator of any source that will have a significant impact on air quality in a designated area other than the one the source is locating in must also meet the following requirements, as applicable:

(a)

The owner or operator of any source that emits an ozone precursor (VOC or NOx) at or above the SER over the netting basis is considered to have a significant impact if located within 100 kilometers of a designated ozone area, and must also meet the requirements for demonstrating net air quality benefit under OAR 340-224-0510 (Net Air Quality Benefit Emission Offsets: Common Offset Requirements) and 340-224-0520 (Net Air Quality Benefit Emission Offsets: Requirements for Demonstrating Net Air Quality Benefit for Ozone Areas) for ozone designated areas.

(b)

The owner or operator of any source that emits any criteria pollutant, other than NOx as an ozone precursor, at or above the SER over the netting basis and has an impact equal to or greater than the Class II SIL on another designated area must also meet the requirements for demonstrating net air quality benefit under OAR 340-224-0510 (Net Air Quality Benefit Emission Offsets: Common Offset Requirements) and 340-224-0540 (Net Air Quality Benefit Emission Offsets: Sources in a Designated Area Impacting Other Designated Areas) for designated areas other than ozone designated areas.
NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040 (State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan).
