As a follow-up to the above question, may I keep any excess emission reduction credits (ERCs) for future use? What if I am in source compliance demonstration (SCDP)?
As indicated by the answer to question Q-6, existing offsets are unaffected by the new ROC definition. If the ERCs are requalified using the rules in effect at the time of requalification, then they may be subject to reuse for future projects. • If my permit is not reevaluated for a few years, how will compliance with my ROC emission limits be assessed? My current ROC limit is based in part on emissions from compounds that are now exempt. Does the new definition therefore give me more room under my ROC limit and allow me to increase my emissions of other ROCs? If your permitted emission limit contains limits on the use of specific exempt compounds (for example, acetone) you must comply with these limits until they are changed during your permit reevaluation or if you receive a new permit (see questions Q-1 and Q-2). If your permit does not contain compound-specific limits, you can emit up to your ROC limit using the new definition of ROC compounds. • My permit will not reevaluated for
