SB622,179,22 13(6) (a) After considering any public comments concerning an application, the
14department may prepare a proposed operation permit or deny the application for an
15operation permit. If the criteria in ss. 144.393 and 144.3935 285.63 and 285.64 are
16met, the department shall prepare a proposed operation permit. If required by the
17federal clean air act, the department shall provide a copy of a proposed operation
18permit to the federal environmental protection agency. If a state has submitted
19recommendations in response to the notice under sub. (3) (b) 7. and the department
20has not accepted those recommendations, the department shall notify that state and
21the federal environmental protection agency in writing of its decision not to accept
22the recommendations and the reasons for that decision.
SB622,180,523 (b) The federal environmental protection agency may object in writing to the
24issuance of an operation permit that it determines is not in compliance with the
25federal clean air act or an implementation plan prepared under s. 144.31 (1) (f) 285.11

1(6)
. The department shall respond in writing to the objection if the federal
2environmental protection agency provides the reasons for the objection and submits
3the objection to the department and the applicant within 45 days after receiving
4either a copy of the proposed operation permit under par. (a) or notice under par. (a)
5of the department's decision not to accept the recommendations of another state.
SB622,180,15 6(7) (a) The department shall approve or deny the operation permit application
7for an existing source. The department shall issue the operation permit for an
8existing source if the criteria established under ss. 144.393 and 144.3935 285.63 and
9285.64
are met. The department shall issue an operation permit for an existing
10source or deny the application within 18 months after receiving a complete
11application, except that the department may, by rule, extend the 18-month period
12for specified existing sources by establishing a phased schedule for acting on
13applications received within one year after the effective date of the rule promulgated
14under sub. (1) that specifies the content of applications for operation permits. The
15phased schedule may not extend the 18-month period for more than 3 years.
SB622,180,2216 (b) The department shall approve or deny the operation permit application for
17a new source or modified source. The department shall issue the operation permit
18for a new source or modified source if the criteria established under ss. 144.393 and
19144.3935
285.63 and 285.64 are met. The department shall issue an operation
20permit for a new source or modified source or deny the application within 180 days
21after the permit applicant submits to the department the results of all equipment
22testing and emission monitoring required under the construction permit.
SB622,181,3 23(8) Operation continued during application. If a person timely submits a
24complete application for an existing source under sub. (1) and submits any additional
25information requested by the department within the time set by the department, the

1existing source may not be required to discontinue operation and the person may not
2be prosecuted for lack of an operation permit until the department acts under sub.
3(6) (7).
SB622,181,8 4(9) (a) If the department fails to issue an operation permit or to deny the
5application within the period specified in sub. (6) (7) or in a rule promulgated under
6sub. (6) (7), that failure is considered a final decision on the application solely for the
7purpose of obtaining judicial review under ss. 227.52 and 227.53 to require the
8department to act on the application without additional delay.
SB622,181,16 9(10) Effect of permit. (a) Except as provided in par. (b), the issuance of an
10operation permit, including an operation permit that contains a compliance
11schedule, does not preclude enforcement actions based on violations of ss. 144.30 to
12144.426
this chapter that occur before, on or after the date that the operation permit
13is issued. The inclusion of a compliance schedule in an operation permit does not
14preclude enforcement actions based on violations of ss. 144.30 to 144.426 this chapter
15to which the compliance schedule relates, whether or not the source is violating the
16compliance schedule.
SB622,181,2517 (b) Unless precluded by the administrator of the federal environmental
18protection agency under 42 USC 7661c (f), compliance with all emission limitations
19included in an operation permit is considered to be compliance with all emission
20limitations established under ss. 144.30 to 144.426 this chapter and emission
21limitations under the federal clean air act that are applicable to the stationary source
22as of the date of issuance of the operation permit if the permit includes the applicable
23emission limitations or the department, in acting on the application for the operation
24permit, determines in writing that the emission limitations do not apply to the
25stationary source and the operation permit includes that determination.

8a growth accommodation credit in the amount determined under this section if,
9because of facility shutdowns or replenishment activities under s. 144.40 285.39 that
10have occurred, the growth accommodation for the next succeeding year after

21determines that it is unlikely that the growth accommodation will exceed 2,500 tons
22in the report under sub. (2) (b) 1. for the following year because of the inadequacy of
23replenishment activities at the time or because of facility shutdowns, the department
24shall implement the rules that specify emission limitations for emissions of volatile
25organic compounds from stationary sources located in the volatile organic compound

1accommodation area that were required to report their emissions under s. 144.96
2299.15 during calendar year 1987. The emission limitations shall be designed to
3ensure that the growth accommodation in the subsequent year is not less than 2,500
4tons. The emission limitations may not be more restrictive than the lowest
5achievable emission rate. The department shall implement the emission limitations
6by source category. For the purpose of this section, the department shall determine
7a source category according to the type and level of emissions. The department may
8also use other characteristics which relate to air pollution to determine source
9categories. The department shall implement the emission limitations based upon
10ease of implementation, cost-effectiveness and the relative equity of imposing a
11limitation upon a source category, given any prior limitations of emissions imposed
12upon that source category. To the extent feasible, the emission limitations shall
13provide affected sources the opportunity to choose to be subject to either an annual
14emission limitation or a more restrictive applicable reasonably available control
15technology rule than was in effect in 1987.
