What is a Pollution Control Project (PCP)?
A Pollution Control Project (PCP) is a project that is overall environmentally beneficial, despite a possible increase in emissions. It is an activity, set of work practices or project undertaken at an existing emissions unit that reduces emissions of air pollutants from such unit. It may include the replacement or upgrade of an existing emissions control technology with a more effective unit (C.F.R. 52.21(b)(39). Permit applications must include information listed in 40 C.F.R.52.21 (z)(3)(1)-(v). If the department concludes that a project is a PCP, the project will not be required to undergo major New Source Review.
