Section 326IAC2-3.4-6. Establishing a 10 year actuals PAL level

   (a) The actuals PAL level for a major stationary source shall be established as the sum of the baseline actual emissions of the PAL pollutant for each emissions unit at the source plus an amount equal to the least of the following levels:

(1) The applicable significant level in 326 IAC 2-3-1(qq) for the PAL pollutant.

(2) The de minimis level in 326 IAC 2-3-1(q) in case of the PAL for VOC emissions for sources located in severe or serious nonattainment areas.

(3) The level specified under CAA.

  (b) For establishing the actuals PAL level for a PAL pollutant, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four (24) month period shall be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for all existing emissions units. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period may be used for each different PAL pollutant.

  (c) Emissions associated with units that were permanently shutdown after this twenty-four (24) month period must be subtracted from the PAL level.

  (d) Emissions from units, except modifications to existing units, on which actual construction began after the twenty-four (24) month period must be added to the PAL level in an amount equal to the potential to emit of the units.

  (e) The department shall specify a reduced PAL level, in tons per year, in the PAL permit to become effective on the future compliance date of any applicable federal or state regulatory requirement that the department is aware of prior to issuance of the PAL permit.
