After an initial authorization to operate (GOP) or permit
issuance (SOP), the owner or operator must certify compliance with
the terms and conditions of the permit for at least every 12 month
period following the initial issuance. Annual compliance
certifications should be submitted no later than 30 days after the
end of the certification period.
Additionally, the owner or operator shall report, in writing,
all instances of deviations, the probable cause of the deviations,
and any corrective actions or preventative measures taken for each
emission unit covered by a GOP or SOP. A deviation report should be
submitted for at least each six-month period after permit issuance
or at the frequency required by an applicable requirement which
requires more frequent reporting. However, no report is required if
no deviations occurred over the six-month reporting period. The
deviation reports should be submitted no later than 30 days after
the end of each reporting period. It is also important to note that
the 30 TAC ' 101.201 (Upset Reporting and Recordkeeping
Requirements) and 30 TAC ' 101.211 (Maintenance, Start-up and
Shutdown Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Operational Requirements)
reports do not substitute for deviation reports.
All reports should be submitted to the regional office. Owners
or operators needing information regarding annual compliance
certifications or deviation reports should contact the TCEQ Office
of Compliance and Enforcement, Field Operations Division, or
phone (512) 239-0400.
