In the case of late fees, DEQ will issue a new invoice specifying applicable fees.

4. (4) Permit Content. Each Simple ACDP must include the following:

   1. (a) All relevant applicable requirements for source operation, including general ACDP conditions for incorporating generally applicable requirements, but excluding any federal requirements not adopted by the EQC;
   2. (b) PSELs at less than the SER for all regulated pollutants emitted at more than the de minimis emission level under OAR chapter 340, division 222;

   3. (c) To ensure the source’s emission will not cause or contribute to a new exceedance of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard adopted under OAR chapter 340, division 202:

      1. (A) Any physical or operational limitation, including any combination of the use of control devices, restrictions on hours of operation, or restrictions on the type or amount of materials combusted, stored, or processed, will be included as permit conditions to limit short term emissions for all devices and activities that require controls or limitations; or
      2. (B) A requirement to conduct ambient monitoring to confirm a new exceedance of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Ambient monitoring and meteorological monitoring must be conducted in accordance with a DEQ approved monitoring plan for a period of not less than 12 months. There must be at least 12 months of valid data with greater than 75 percent data completeness per quarter.
   4. (d) Testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements sufficient to determine compliance with the PSEL and other emission limits and standards, as necessary; and
   5. (e) A permit duration not to exceed 10 years.

5. (5) Permit issuance public notice procedures:

   1. (a) Issuance of a new or renewed Simple ACDP requires public notice as a Category III permit according to OAR chapter 340, division 209.

      1. (A) Public notice as a Category I permit action for non-technical and basic and simple technical modifications according to OAR chapter 340, division 209; or

      2. (B) Public notice as a Category III permit action for moderate and complex technical modifications according to OAR chapter 340, division 209.
