INTRODUCTION
This package contains the State of Oklahoma Air Quality Permit Application for a Minor Source. Please read all the directions carefully before you fill it out. Answer all questions by checking the appropriate box or filling in a response. Original signature from a responsible official is required on Form 884. Please note that delays in processing your application may occur if an incomplete application is submitted. It is the applicant’s responsibility to submit a complete application well in advance of anticipated commencement of construction, start up dates, or the effective date of operating permit program requirements to allow sufficient time for proper application review and permit issuance.
BACKGROUND
Oklahoma operates a dual air quality permit system under Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 252:100. A construction permit is to be obtained prior to the commencement of construction, installation or modification of any source which will increase the amount of air contaminant emissions by more than the de minimis levels given in OAC 252:100-7-2. After construction is completed, application for an operating permit must be submitted within 60 days after start up. If you are uncertain whether a permit is required, a request for an applicability determination may be submitted to DEQ and a written determination will be made based on the data submitted. An applicability determination can also be performed to determine whether a facility is a major or minor source.
DEFINITIONS
Criteria Pollutant: Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Lead (Pb), Ozone (O3, i.e., regulated as non-methane hydrocarbon or NMHC as a precursor to O3), Particulate Matter less than 10 microns (PM10), Carbon Monoxide (CO).
Minor Source: A source that has the potential to emit less than 100 tons/year of a criteria pollutant, less than 10 tons/year of any single hazardous air pollutant, and less than 25 tons/year total hazardous air pollutants in the aggregate. These sources are classified as Tier I sources and follow the simplest type of application process.
Synthetic Minor Source: A source which has the potential under maximum operating conditions to emit at the Major Source level but which has a permit which restricts emissions to the minor source level. Such restrictions may include any of the following: hours of operation, emission control devices, and throughput. Applications for minor source permits are classified as either Tier I or Tier II, depending on several factors.
Major Source: A source that has the potential to emit more than 100 tons/year for criteria pollutants, 25 tons/year of hazardous air pollutants, or 10 tons/year of any single hazardous air pollutant. Additionally, a Major Source will not have permit requirements which restrict all actual criteria pollutant and hazardous air pollutant emissions to less than these levels. These sources are complex in their potential impact and are subject to the Tier II or Tier III application process.
TIER DETERMINATION
DEQ’s “Uniform Permitting” system, under OAC 252:002, categorizes applications as Tier I, II, or III, depending on their complexity and the amount of public interest. The main effect of a Tier classification is the amount of public review given the application. For Air Quality permits, Tier I basically includes minor sources and most synthetic minor sources. Tier II covers major sources, and Tier III covers only very large sources such as those requiring PSD review. This packet is designed (only) to meet the application requirements for most Rock Crushing Facilities and Sand & Gravel Operations which are minor sources or synthetic minor sources and qualify as Tier I applications. Other facilities, including those with emission units not covered in this application packet and those that need emissions modeling assistance, should contact Air Quality for information or additional forms and/or worksheets.
PERMIT FEES
Applicants must attach a check or money order (no cash will be accepted) payable to the DEQ Air Quality Division in accordance with Form 100-815, which is included in this packet.

In the table below, please list all emission units, (e.g., hoppers, crushers, grinders, screens, stockpiles, organic liquid storage tanks, and other miscellaneous equipment) located at the facility. For each unit, give an unique identifier (e.g. facility numbering system or emissions inventory ID#), number of operation hours per year, the equipment installation date (actual or projected), and the date the equipment was manufactured or modified. In the last column, indicate whether the unit is a subject of the requested permit action (Construction or Operating Permit, or Modification of an existing permit).

This form is used to document both a preliminary determination of the Tier classification and any associated Application Fee.
Step 1: APPLICATION CLASSIFICATION AND TIER DETERMINATION
DEQ’s “Uniform Permitting” system, under OAC 252:004, categorizes different types of applications as Tier I, II, or III, depending on their complexity and the amount of public interest. The main effect of a Tier classification is the amount of public review given the application. For Air Quality permits, Tier I basically includes minor facilities and most synthetic minor facilities. Tier II covers major sources, and Tier III covers only very large sources such as those requiring PSD review. Additional information to make a preliminary determination of the Tier classification is provided on the next page. This determination will be verified before permit issuance.
Note that all Tier II and III applications require public notice of the application in one newspaper local to the site or facility as soon after the filing date as possible. Other public participation requirements, such as notice of draft and proposed permit, and notice of public meeting may also be required. Contact our office for more information on these requirements.

TIER DETERMINATION INFORMATION
OAC 252:004-7 categorizes different types of Air Quality applications as Tier I, II, or III, depending on their complexity and the amount of public interest under DEQ’s “Uniform Permitting” system. The Tier classification affects the amount of public review given the application. Applicants may use the following format as a checklist for determining Tier classification.

(6) New acid rain permit that is independent of a Part 70 permit application.
(7) New temporary source permit under OAC 252:100-8-6.2.

OAC 252:4-7-34. Air quality applications - Tier III
(a) A construction permit for any new major stationary source listed in this subsection requires a Tier III application. For purposes of this section, "Major stationary source" means:
(1) Any of the following sources of air pollutants which emits, or has the PTE, 100 TPY or more of any pollutant subject to regulation:
(A) carbon black plants (furnace process),
(B) charcoal production plants,
(C) chemical process plants,
(D) coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers),
(E) coke oven batteries,
(F) fossil-fuel boilers (or combustion thereof),totaling more than 250 million BTU per hour heat input,
(G) fossil fuel-fired steam electric plants of more than 250 million BTU per hour heat input,
(H) fuel conversion plants,
(I) glass fiber processing plants,
(J) hydrofluoric, sulfuric or nitric acid plants,
(K) iron and steel mill plants,
(L) kraft pulp mills,
(M) lime plants,
(N) incinerators, except where used exclusively as air pollution control devices,
(O) petroleum refineries,
(P) petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels,
(Q) phosphate rock processing plant,
(R) portland cement plants,
(S) primary aluminum ore reduction plants,

(Z) taconite ore processing plants, and
(2) Any other source not specified in paragraph (1) of this definition which emits, or has the PTE, 250 TPY or more of any pollutant subject to regulation.
(b) Existing incinerators. An application for any change in emissions or potential to emit, or any change in any permit condition, that would have caused an incinerator to be defined as a major stationary source when originally permitted shall require a Tier III application.
(c) Potential to emit. For purposes of this section, "potential to emit" means emissions resulting from the application of all enforceable permit limitations as defined in OAC 252:100-1-3.
