Q: When are increment analyses performed?
A: A PSD increment analysis is performed any time the rules require modeling
or an AQIA to be performed.
Q: Can a source net out of Best Available Control Technology and
emission offsets for attainment pollutants?
A: Yes. New source review requirements for attainment pollutants are
triggered based on emission increases at the entire stationary source and
creditable emission decreases at the source can be used to reduce the source's
net emission increase for the purpose of avoiding Best Available Control
Technology and emission offsets.
Q: When are "secondary emissions" taken into account?
A: Secondary emissions are used when performing a PSD Air Quality Increment
Analysis (see Section K.1). The definition of secondary emissions may be found
in Rule 102. Example: A new oil and gas plant is proposed. Along with this
construction, a new oil transportation terminal will be installed to move the
oil to market. In analyzing the oil and gas plant's application, the AQIA
increment analysis would include the emissions from the new transportation
terminal.
