The secretary may issue a general permit to a category of air pollution sources that meets the following:

1. (1) Involve the same or substantially similar types of operations;
2. (2) Require the same or similar type of air emission limits; and

3. (3) Require the same or similar record keeping and monitoring.

   If a general permit has been issued by the secretary, all sources covered by the general permit shall apply for permission to operate under the general permit. Such sources may not be constructed or operate until they are granted coverage under the general permit, or until they obtain an individual permit if required by the secretary.

   Note: The procedural requirements for obtaining a general permit under this chapter are similar to the procedural requirements for a Part 70 source, such as a timely and complete application, completeness review, public participation, and departmental recommendation, as outlined in §§ 74:36:05:08 to 74:36:05:23, inclusive.
