Any owner or operator of a major stationary source in El Paso, Galveston, Harris, Jefferson, and Orange Counties which emits 100 tons or more per year of any air contaminant specified in Table 1 of §118.1 of this title (relating to Generalized Air Pollution Episodes) or volatile organic compounds (VOC) shall prepare and maintain an emission reduction plan. A plan for any existing source shall be completed within six months after the effective date of this section. A plan for any new or modified source shall be completed within six months after the source begins operations. The emission reduction plan shall be made available to any representative of the Texas Air Control Board or local air pollution control agency upon request and shall contain at least the following:

1. (1) identification of all sources of air contaminants specified in Table 1 and VOC to account for at least 95% of the total major stationary source emissions for each contaminant specified in Table 1 and VOC;
2. (2) the approximate amount of each air contaminant specified in Table 1 and VOC from each facility;
3. (3) a description of the specified actions to be taken during a Level 1 episode and the amount of emissions reduction expected for each air contaminant specified in Table 1 and VOC;
4. (4) a description of specific actions to be taken to curtail or cease operations if so directed during a Level 2 episode;
5. (5) identification of processes which require relatively lengthy shutdown procedures and of practical limits of production curtailment to prevent equipment damage; and
6. (6) identification of processes which, under conditions of curtailed production, would affect adversely the activities of raw materials suppliers or product users.
