Section 326IAC2-2.4-9. Expiration of a PAL

   (a) Any PAL that is not renewed in accordance with the procedures in section 10 of this rule shall expire at the end of the PAL effective period, and the requirements in this section shall apply.

  (b) Each emissions unit or each group of emissions units that existed under the PAL shall comply with an allowable emission limitation under a revised permit established according to the following procedures:

(1) Within the time frame specified for PAL renewals in section 10(b) of this rule, the major stationary source shall submit a proposed allowable emission limitation for each emissions unit or each group of emissions units, if the distribution is more appropriate as decided by the department by distributing the PAL allowable emissions for the major stationary source among each of the emissions units that existed under the PAL. If the PAL had not yet been adjusted for an applicable requirement that became effective during the PAL effective period, as required under section 10(e) of this rule, the distribution shall be made as if the PAL had been adjusted.

(2) The department shall decide whether and how the PAL allowable emissions will be distributed and issue a revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as the department determines is appropriate.

  (c) Each emissions unit shall comply with the allowable emission limitation on a twelve (12) month rolling basis. The department may approve the use of monitoring systems other than CEMS, CERMS, PEMS, or CPMS to demonstrate compliance with the allowable emission limitation.

  (d) Until the department issues the revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emissions unit, or each group of emissions units, as required under subsection (b)(2), the source shall continue to comply with a source-wide, multiunit emissions cap equivalent to the level of the PAL emission limitation.

  (e) Any physical change or change in the method of operation at the major stationary source will be subject to major NSR requirements if the change meets the definition of major modification in 326 IAC 2-2-1(ee).

  (f) The major stationary source owner or operator shall continue to comply with any state or federal applicable requirements that may have applied either during the PAL effective period or prior to the PAL effective period except for those emission limitations that had been established under 326 IAC 2-2-8(a)(3), but were eliminated by the PAL in accordance with section 1(c)(3) of this rule.
