October 3, 1980 PSD and NSPS
Applicability to a Reactivated Source 3.15
EPA continues to maintain that sources
which are shutdown for more than 2 years
and are removed from the State's
emission inventory are presumed to be
permanent shutdowns, and thus subject to
PSD upon reactivation; the source can
rebut this presumption by providing
evidence that the shutdown was not
intended to be permanent. In addition,
with the inclusion of the
contemporaneous provisions in the 8/7/80
PSD amendment, it appears that shutdowns
will have to be considered in order for
sources to obtain credit for
contemporaneous decreases.
