Actual emissions as of a particular date equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the uni t emitted the pollutant during a consecutive 24-month period that precedes the particular date and is representative o f normal source operation. The Department will allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it i s more representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions must be calculated using the unit’s actual operatin g hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period. (3-28-23) b.

Agricultural activities and services do not include manufacturing, bulk storage, handling for resale or the formulation of any agricultural chemical listed in Sections 585 or 586. (3-28-23) 02. Baseline Actual Emissions. The rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated air pollutant as determined by the following provisions: (3-28-23) a. For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions means the averag e rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the regulated air pollutant during any consecutive twenty-fou r (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when th e owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The Department will allow the use of a different tim e period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. The average rate must: (3-28-23) i. Include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups , shutdowns, and malfunctions. (3-28-23) ii. Be adjusted downward to exclude any non-compliant emissions that occurred while the source wa s operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) mont h period. (3-28-23) iii. For a regulated air pollutant, when a project involves multiple emissions units, use only one (1 ) consecutive twenty-four (24) month period to determine the baseline actual emissions for all the emissions unit s being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each regulated air pollutant. (3-28-23) iv. Not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequat e information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required b y Subsection 007.02.a.ii.

Not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequat e information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required b y Subsection 007.02.a.ii. (3-28-23) b. For an existing emissions unit (other than an electric utility steam generating unit), baseline actua l emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the regulated ai r pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten (10) year period immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project, o r the date a complete permit application is received by the Department for a permit required under these rules , whichever is earlier, except that the ten (10) year period must not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990 . The average rate must: (3-28-23) i. Include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups , shutdowns, and malfunctions. (3-28-23) ii. Be adjusted downward to exclude any non-compliant emissions that occurred while the source wa s operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) mont h period. (3-28-23) iii. Be adjusted downward to exclude any emission limitation with which the source must currentl y comply, had such source been required to comply with such limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24 ) month period; however, if an emission limitation is part of a standard or other requirement under 40 CFR Part 63, th e baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the Department has taken credit for such emissions reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan. (3-28-23) iv

had such source been required to comply with such limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24 ) month period; however, if an emission limitation is part of a standard or other requirement under 40 CFR Part 63, th e baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the Department has taken credit for such emissions reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan. (3-28-23) iv.

A different consecutive twenty-four (24) month period can be used for each regulated air pollutant. (3-28-23) v. Not be based on any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequat e information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required b y Subsections 007.02.b.ii. and 007.02.b.iii. (3-28-23) c. For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emission s increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of such unit must: equal zero (0) and, thereafter, for all other purposes, equal the unit’s potential to emit. (3-28-23) d. For a plant-wide applicability limit (PAL) for a stationary source, the baseline actual emission s must be calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units in accordance with the procedures contained i n Subsection 007.02.a, for other existing emissions units in accordance with the procedures contained in Subsection 007.02.b., and for a new emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in Subsection 007.02.c. (3-28-23) 03. Emissions Increase. The amount by which projected actual emissions exceed baseline actua l emissions of an emissions unit. (3-28-23) 04. Net Emissions Increase. For purposes of Sections 204 and 205, a net emissions increase is define d by the federal regulations incorporated by reference

The amount by which projected actual emissions exceed baseline actua l emissions of an emissions unit. (3-28-23) 04. Net Emissions Increase. For purposes of Sections 204 and 205, a net emissions increase is define d by the federal regulations incorporated by reference. For purposes of Section 210, a net emissions increase is an emissions increase from a particular modification plus any other increases and decreases in actual emissions at th e facility that are creditable and contemporaneous with the particular modification, where: (3-28-23) a. A creditable increase or decrease in actual emissions is contemporaneous with a particular modification if it occurs between the date five (5) years before the commencement of construction or modification o n the particular change and the date that the increase from the particular modification occurs. Any replacement unit that requires shakedown becomes operational only after a reasonable shakedown period, not to exceed one hundred an d eighty (180) days; (3-28-23) b. A decrease in actual emissions is creditable only if it satisfies the requirements for emission reduction credits (Section 460) and has approximately the same qualitative significance for public health and welfar e as that attributed to the increase from the particular modification and is federally enforceable at and after the time tha t construction of the modification commences. (3-28-23) c. The increase in toxic air pollutant emissions from an already operating or permitted source is no t included in the calculation of the net emissions increase for a proposed new source or modification if: (3-28-23) i. The already operating or permitted source commenced construction or modification prior to July 1 , 1995; or (3-28-23) ii

tha t construction of the modification commences. (3-28-23) c. The increase in toxic air pollutant emissions from an already operating or permitted source is no t included in the calculation of the net emissions increase for a proposed new source or modification if: (3-28-23) i. The already operating or permitted source commenced construction or modification prior to July 1 , 1995; or (3-28-23) ii. The uncontrolled emission rate from the already operating or permitted source is ten per cent (10% ) or less of the applicable screening emissions level listed in Section 585 or 586; or (3-28-23) iii. The already operating or permitted source is an environmental remediation source subject to o r regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901-6992k) and IDAPA 58.01.05 , “Idaho Rules and Standards for Hazardous Waste,” (IDAPA 58.01.05.000 et seq.) or the Comprehensiv e Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 6901-6992k) or a consent order. (3-28-23) 05. Projected Actual Emissions. (3-28-23) a. The maximum annual rate, in tons per year, at which an existing emissions unit is projected to emi t a regulated air pollutant in any one (1) of the five (5) years (twelve (12) month period) following the date the uni t resumes regular operation after the project, or in any one (1) of the ten (10) years following that date, if the projec t involves increasing the emissions unit’s design capacity or its potential to emit that regulated air pollutant and ful l utilization of the unit would result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase at an existing major stationary source. (3-28-23) b. In determining the projected actual emissions, the owner or operator of the stationary source: (3-28-23) i

ojec t involves increasing the emissions unit’s design capacity or its potential to emit that regulated air pollutant and ful l utilization of the unit would result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase at an existing major stationary source. (3-28-23) b. In determining the projected actual emissions, the owner or operator of the stationary source: (3-28-23) i. Shall consider all relevant information including, but not limited to, historical operational data, th e company’s own representations, the company’s expected business activity and the company’s highest projections o f business activity, the company’s filings with state or federal regulatory authorities, and compliance plans under th e approved state implementation plan; and (3-28-23) ii. Shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with startups , shutdowns, and malfunctions; and (3-28-23) iii. Shall exclude, in calculating any increase in emissions that results from the particular project, tha t portion of the unit’s emissions following the project that an existing unit could have accommodated during th e consecutive twenty-four (24) month period used to establish the baseline actual emissions and that are also unrelate d to the particular project, including any increased utilization due to product demand growth; or (3-28-23) iv. In lieu of using the method set out in Subsections 007.05.b.i. through 007.05.b.iii., may elect to us e the emissions unit’s potential to emit, in tons per year. (3-28-23) 06. Reasonable Further Progress (RFP). Annual incremental reductions in emissions of the applicable air pollutant as identified in the SIP which are sufficient to provide for attainment of the applicabl e ambient air quality standard by the required date.
