use less than 2,000 gallons of VOC-containing material in a 12--month period. Compliance Requireme~t: A source obtaining a registration pennit under this option must maintain records of the amount of VOC-containing materials either purchased or used each month to show that it purchased or used less than 2000 gallons in the previous 12-month period. Option C: Boiler/Internal Combustion EngineNOC Sources Option C is for sources whose only emissions are from boilers, internal combustion engines, VOC-containing materials (or any combination of the three), insignificant activities and dust from roads or parking lots. The rule includes a method of deriving a number related to total emissions from operating boilers, internal combustion engines and the use ofVOC-containing materials. The rule includes emission factors and calculations to be used to determine eligibility under Option C. Compliance requirement: Recalculate the number monthly and maintain a record of fuel usage, VOC-containing material used or operating hours. Option D: Sources with Actual Emissions Under 50 Percent Of Federal Thresholds A source is eligible for a registration pennit under Option D if it has the potential to emit pollutant at levels exceeding a state or federal threshold but reduces its emissions through the use of pollution control equipment or other measure so that the annual actual emission for each pollutant are less than half the federal permit threshold. PMIO sources in a nonattainment area must have actual emissions less than 25 tons per year, and must Doc. # 3.01, Page 3 not require special facility-specific conditions in their pennit, in order to qualify. Sources can demonstrate that actual emissions are below the thresholds by calculating actual emissions based on emission factors, perfonnance tests, continuous emission monitoring and material balance methods. The rule includes control efficiencies for common types of pollution control equipment that can be used in calculating emissions. In addition to using pollution control equipment, facilities can reduce actual emissions by limiting the amount of fuel burned, the amount ofVOC-containing material used, production levels, the number of hours equipment is operated, or by employing pollution prevention practices. Compliance Requirements: Recalculate actual emissions each month. Sources with control equipment must meet the pollution control equipment perfonnance standard, 'which has additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Control equipment must be operating whenever the process equipment is in use, and standard monitoring and operation and maintenance practices must be observed. General requirements for operation, maintenance and monitoring are included in the rule. Questions and Answers Q: What if! have a registration permit and want to make a change or modification in my operations? A: Any change or modification in the operation is allowed without a pennit amendment, provided that after the change or modification, the source remains eligible for the registration pennit option that was issued. Q: What if I plan to modify my source and no longer qualify for the registration permit option I am pennitted under, but instead qualify under a different registration permit option?
