Ohio EPA Issues Draft Amendments to Air PTI/PTIO Rules

By Ryan Elliott

On November 13, 2014, Ohio EPA issued draft amendments to the rules in OAC Chapter 3745-31 governing the Permit-to-Install New Sources and Permit-to-Install and Operate Program. The draft amendments include:

·         reorganizational changes throughout OAC 3745-31-03 addressing exemptions and permits by rule (PBR) to clarify the difference between a true exemption from New Source Review and a PBR which is alternative to obtaining a paper permit;

·         additional exemptions and PBR provisions including a PBR for horizontal well completion operations;

·         revised permit processing provisions; and

·         changes to the acceptable site preparation activities prior to obtaining a final permit.

 

Comments must be submitted to Ohio EPA, Division of Air Pollution Control, by December 16, 2014.
