  13. Enhanced ApplicationReview • Purpose • AIROG notification e.a.r

  14. AIROG In an effort to process your registration request more efficiently, please respond to the following: 1. To confirm if the company agrees to receive the response letter electronically and that no hard copy will need to be sent. All completed projects can be viewed at: https://webmail.tceq.state.tx.us/gw/webpub. 2. If the company has implemented the project. 3. If the company is waiting on a response from the TCEQ before starting construction. 4. If you have any updates to the project listed above, please send them in now. • E-mail notification • Questions:

  33. Permitting of Greenhouse Gases Tasha Burns Air Permits Division Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Advanced Air Permitting Seminar 2013

  34. Introduction House Bill 788 Process to gain authority Proposed timeline Applicability

  35. HB 788 • Signed by Governor June 14th • Effective immediately • Amended THSC §382.0621 • New THSC §382.05102

  36. Process to Gain Authority TCEQ rulemaking TCEQ SIP revision submittal EPA SIP approval EPA FIP removal

  37. TCEQ Rulemaking • ‘Concept’ phase • Proposal phase • Public comment period • Adoption phase

  38. TCEQ Timeline • Anticipated rulemaking timeline • October 23, 2013 – proposal • November 8 to December 9 – public comment period • March 26, 2014 - adoption

  39. EPA Process • EPA SIP approval & FIP removal • Propose approval of SIP revisions • Public comment period • Adopt approval of SIP revision & remove FIP

  40. Parallel Processing

  41. Parallel Processing TCEQ Permitting GHGs Rule Adoption Rule Proposal FIP Removal SIP Adoption SIP Proposal Oct 23 March 26 30 days

  42. TCEQ Permitting GHGs

  43. Affected 30 TAC Chapters 39 – Public Notice 55 – Contested Case Hearings 101 – General Air Quality Rules 106 – Permits by Rule

  44. Affected 30 TAC Chapters 116 – Control of Air Pollution by Permits for New Construction or Modification 122 – Federal Operating Permits Program

  45. GHGs hydrofluorocarbons perfluorocarbons sulfur hexafluoride Aggregate group • carbon dioxide • methane • nitrous oxide

  46. CO2e GHG tpy multiplied by the GWP (4000 tpy methane)(21) = 84,000 CO2e

  47. Applicability No “call-in” Tailored thresholds consistent with EPA Title V PSD

  48. Title V Applicability • Potential to Emit • 100 tpy or more GHGs on mass basis, and • 100,000 tpy or more CO2e

  49. Title V Applicability Example • Mass basis (condition 1) • 25,000 tpy CO2 • 5,000 tpy methane • 1,000 tpy N2O = 31,000 tpy GHGs

  50. Title V Applicability Example • CO2e (condition 2) • (25,000 tpy CO2)(1 GWP) • (5,000 tpy methane)(21 GWP) • (1,000 tpy N2O)(310 GWP) = 440,000 tpy CO2e
