What is Ohio EPA’s timeline and strategy for changing the approach?
Ohio EPA can continue to apply BAT under the current case-by-case approach in permits issued through August 3, 2009. Moving forward under a rule-based approach presents challenges to the Agency given the time allotted by the legislature to establish the requirements via rule. Historically there are numerous categories of sources for which BAT has applied. We want to ensure we initially focus on source categories that we, and you, think are important source categories that should continue to be controlled at BAT levels for NAAQS pollutants. Sifting through large number of source-specific BAT requirements will be resource intensive for the Agency. Due to limited resources and time, we will have to prioritize the promulgation of the rules necessary to apply BAT going forward. Our strategy includes the following Activity Timeline Identify and prioritize air pollution source categories that should be regulated through a BAT rule.
