INTRODUCTION
This package contains instructions and Forms for making application for new, relocation, and modification of construction and operating permits for minor and synthetic minor sources only. It has been developed to address a wide range of industry types and emissions units. Thus, some portions may not be applicable to your facility. Other more specific minor source applications are available for a particular industry type and should be used whenever possible. These are available from Air Quality Division:
(i) Minor Source Permit Application for a Natural Gas Compressor Station
(ii) Minor Source Permit Application for a Rock Crushing Facility or a Sand and Gravel Operation
Please read all directions carefully before filling out this form. Answer all questions by checking the appropriate box or filling in a response. If an item does not apply to you, enter “N/A” (for not applicable) to show that you considered the question. An original signature from a responsible official is required on Form 100-884. Please note that delays in processing your application may occur if an incomplete application is submitted. It is your 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. If you need additional information on completing this Form, or would like to meet with us before submitting your application, please call the AQD office at (405) 702-4100 for assistance.
Information submitted using this package should be adequate to determine that a proposed source will meet applicable air quality rules and standards. Required information will vary according to the type of facility to be constructed or operated. The following specific instructions should be followed to assure that all-necessary information is provided to draft the appropriate permit:
Instruction No. l - Process Operations
Instruction No. 2 - (Reserved)
Instruction No. 3 - Hydrocarbon Storage Tanks
Instruction No. 4 - Fuel Burning Equipment
Instruction No. 5 - Incinerators
Instruction No. 6 - Asphalt Plants
Instruction No. 7 - Stationary IC Engine/Turbine Facilities
BACKGROUND
Oklahoma operates a dual permitting 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. A relocation permit may be obtained for relocation of portable minor sources from one site to another only in attainment areas (DEQ Form #100-886). Relocation of such a source without a permit will automatically void the operating permit or the grandfather exemptions for that source. Relocation permits are good for two years, and failure to change a source’s location within two years shall subject it to the requirement to obtain a stationary source operating permit. Applicants may request modification to existing permits by submission of an application to modify. Modification to a source operation shall subject the facility at which the source operation is located to issuance of an operating permit for the entire facility.
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.
Minor Source Application Guide 2 Instructions Revised March 1, 2012
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 actual emissions to the minor source level. Such restrictions may include any of the following: hours of operation, emission control devices, and throughput. Applications for synthetic 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. 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. An instruction sheet is provided showing classification of air quality applications. This may be used to make a preliminary determination of the Tier classification. This determination will be verified before permit issuance.
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 the following schedule. Please reference the facility name (or existing permit or application number) on the check. The emissions level is based on the single criteria pollutant with the highest emissions rate. See DEQ Form #100-815 for fee details.
ANNUAL EMISSIONS INVENTORY
An annual Emissions Inventory (sometimes called a Turn Around Document) must be submitted to the Air Quality Division by April 1 of the year following issuance of your construction or operating permit, and provide emissions information for the previous year. [Note: This document should NOT be submitted with your permit application unless requested by the permit writer.] This information is used to calculate the annual operating fee. All calculations and assumptions used to estimate emissions must be verified by proper documentation. All supporting data, including actual production, throughput and measurement records along with engineering calculations and other data utilized in accordance with OAC 252:100-5-2.1(c) & (d) must be maintained at the facility or provided or request. Annual Emissions Inventory information may be found at:

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.
OAC 252:4-7-32. Air quality applications - Tier I
(1) New construction, operating and relocation permit for a minor facility.
(2) Modification of a construction permit for a minor facility that will remain minor after the modification.
(3) Modification of an operating permit that will not change the facility’s classification from minor to major.
(4) Extension of expiration date of a minor facility construction permit.
(5) New construction permit for an existing Part 70 source for any facility change considered minor under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(1).
(6) New operating permit for a Part 70 source that is based on a construction permit that was processed under Tier II or III, 252:100-8-8 and has conditions which do not differ from the construction permit’s operating conditions in any way considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
(7) Modification of any Part 70 source operating permit condition that is based on the operating conditions of a construction permit that was processed under Tier II or Tier III and OAC 252:100-8-8, and does not differ from those construction permit conditions in any way considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
(8) A construction or operating permit modification that is minor under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(1).
(9) Extension of expiration date of a Part 70 source’s construction permit with no or minor modifications.
(10) New, modified and renewed individual authorizations under general operating permits for which a schedule of compliance is not required by OAC 252:100-8-5(e)(8)(B)(i).
(11) Burn approvals.
(12) Administrative amendments of all air quality permits and other authorizations.
OAC 252:4-7-33. Air quality applications - Tier II
(1) A minor facility seeking a permit for a facility modification that when completed would turn it into a Part 70 source.
(2) New construction permit for a new Part 70 source not classified under Tier III.
(3) New construction permit for an existing Part 70 source for any facility change considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2) and which is not classified under Tier III.
(4) New operating permit for a Part 70 source that did not have an underlying construction permit processed under Tier II or Tier III, and OAC 252:100-8-8.
(5) New operating permit for a Part 70 source with one or more conditions that differ from the underlying Tier II or Tier III construction permit’s operating conditions in a way considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
(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.
(8) Significant modification, as described in OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2), of a Part 70 operating permit that is not based on an underlying construction permit processed under Tier II or Tier III, and OAC 52:100-8-8.
(9) Modification of a Part 70 operating permit when the conditions proposed for modification differ from the underlying construction permit’s operating conditions is an way considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2).
(10) A Part 70 construction permit modification considered significant under OAC 252:100-8-7.2(b)(2) and which is not classified under Tier III.
(11) Renewals of operating permits for Part 70 sources.
(12) New, modified and renewed general operating permits.
(13) Individual authorizations under any general operating permit for which a schedule of compliance is required by OAC 252:100-8-5(c)(8)(B)(i).
(14) Plant-wide emission plan approval under OAC 252:100-37-25(b) or OAC 252:100-39-46(j).
(15) Alternative emissions reduction authorizations.
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,
(T) primary copper smelters,
(U) primary lead smelters,
(V) primary zinc smelters,
(W) secondary metal production plants,
(X) sintering plants,
(Y) sulfur recovery plants, or
(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.
