The source is not a diesel engine.
The project is not subject to public notice requirements (the source is either more than 1000 ft. from the nearest school, or the
source does not emit any toxic compound in Table 2-5-1).
For replacement of abatement equipment, the new equipment must have an equal or greater overall abatement efficiency for all
pollutants than the equipment being replaced.
For alterations of existing sources, for all pollutants the alteration does not result in an increase in emissions.
Payment of applicable fees (the minimum permit fee to install and operate each source). See Regulation 3 or contact the
Engineering Division for help in determining your fees.
