Flexible Permits
A flexible permit allows an operator more flexibility in managing his operations by staying under an overall emissions cap
or individual emission limitation. The applicant is allowed to structure the flexible permit to best serve his needs. Some
basic
rules of flexible permits are:
- Facilities are limited to one flexible permit per plant site or account; however, the applicant can choose which facilities
to
include.
- The applicant can choose to establish caps or individual emission limitations for certain pollutants with not all pollutants
emitted from the source(s) included in the flexible permit.
- The final permit may contain an overall emission cap for all sources per pollutant, combination of multiple emission caps
that
cover groups of facilities, and/or individual emission limitations for individual facilities.
- The flexible permit is not restricted to grandfathered sources. The applicant may choose to combine grandfathered, existing
permitted, and newer facilities to maximize flexibility at the site.
