Section 725.982  Schedule for Implementation of Air Emission Standards

a)         This subsection (a) corresponds with 40 CFR 265.1082(a), which required compliance before dates long past.  This statement maintains structural consistency with the corresponding federal rules.

b)         An owner or operator of a facility or unit in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory amendments under the Act that render the facility subject to Subpart I, J, or K must meet the following requirements:

1)         The owner or operator must install and begin operation of all control equipment required to comply with this Subpart CC and complete modifications of production or treatment processes to satisfy exemption criteria of Section 725.983(c) by the effective date of the amendment, except as provided in subsection (b)(2).

2)         When control equipment or waste management units required to comply with this Subpart CC cannot be installed and begin operation or when modifications of production or treatment processes to satisfy the exemption criteria of Section 725.983(c) cannot be completed by the effective date of the amendment, the owner or operator must undertake the following actions:

A)        Install and begin operation of the control equipment or waste management unit and complete modification of production or treatment processes as soon as possible, but no later than 30 months after the effective date of the amendment; and

B)        Maintenance of Implementation Schedule

i)          For facilities subject to the recordkeeping requirements of Section 725.173, enter and maintain the implementation schedule specified in subsection (a)(2)(B) in the operating record no later than the effective date of the amendment, or

ii)         For facilities not subject to Section 725.173, the owner or operator must enter and maintain the implementation schedule specified in subsection (a)(2)(B) in a permanent, readily available file located at the facility site no later than the effective date of the amendment.

c)         The owner or operator of a facility or unit that becomes newly subject to the requirements of this Subpart CC due to an action other than those described in subsection (b) must comply with all applicable requirements immediately (i.e., the owner or operator must have control devices installed and operating on the date the facility or unit becomes subject to the requirements of this Subpart CC; the 30-month implementation schedule does not apply to the owner or operator of such a facility).

d)         This subsection (d) corresponds with 40 CFR 265.1082(d), which allowed extension of a long-past compliance date.  This statement maintains structural consistency with the federal rule.
