§ 34A-1-56. General permits for categories of air pollution sources--Terms and conditions--Modification, suspension or revocation--Violation.
Upon the recommendation of the secretary and after public notice in at least three newspapers of general circulation in this state and notice to all municipalities, counties, and tribal governments and opportunity for public hearing, the board may issue general permits for categories of air pollution sources. However, a general permit may only be issued to sources that are required by federal law to be permitted and may be no more stringent than any federal law, rule, or regulation that is applicable to the source being permitted. Air pollution control activities conducted in conformity with a general permit do not require a permit issued under § 34A-1-21.
A general permit remains in effect until suspended, revoked, or modified by the board. A general permit may be modified after public notice and opportunity for public hearing. A general permit may be suspended or revoked after publication of notice and order of suspension and revocation in at least three newspapers of general circulation in this state. If an affected facility or interested party wishes to contest the order, a request for hearing shall be filed with the department within twenty days. A hearing on the matter shall be held as soon thereafter as practicable. Notice of hearing shall be published in at least three newspapers of general circulation in this state. Any facility operating under a general permit pursuant to this section, upon the filing of a complaint to the board, and upon action by the board in accordance with the contested case provisions of chapter 1-26, may be removed from the jurisdiction of the general permit and required to obtain an individual permit.
A violation of a condition of a permit issued pursuant to this section, or the operation of a source covered by this section without a permit is subject to § 34A-1-39.
