AQ 2013-005	New Source Review	The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the Maricopa County Air Quality Department’s NSR rules in order to secure their approval as part of the SIP under the federal Clean Air Act. The update will be consistent with revisions the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made to the NSR Program required by the federal Clean Air Act. NSR is a long-standing Clean Air Act permitting program that requires businesses to get an air pollution control permit before they start construction or make major modifications to their business. NSR must ensure that air quality is not significantly degraded from the addition of new or modified businesses, while also providing flexibility to businesses to improve or modernize their operations. Air quality permits must include an air quality analysis to demonstrate that new emissions emitted from the business will not cause or contribute to a violation of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Maricopa County Air Quality Department permit fees are not changing due to this rulemaking. The revisions were adopted by the BOS on February 3, 2016 and take immediate effect.
