For the purposes of this regulation, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Act" shall mean the federal clean air act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.(2) "Class I, II or III area" shall mean a classification assigned to any area of the state under the provisions of sections 162 and 164 of the act, 42 U.S.C. 7472 and 7474, and amendments thereto.(3) "State" shall mean the state of Kansas, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.(f) Ambient air ceiling protection. In relation to ambient air ceilings, the following requirements shall apply:(1) Except as stated in paragraph (f)(2) of this regulation, a permit shall not be issued for any new major stationary source or major modification as defined in 40 C.F.R. 52.21(b) if the source or modification will be located in an attainment area or an unclassifiable area for any national ambient air quality standard and if the source or modification would cause or contribute to a violation of any national ambient air quality standard. A major source or major modification shall be considered to cause or contribute to a violation of a national ambient air quality standard if the air quality impact of the source or modification would exceed the following levels at any locality that does not or would not meet the applicable national standard: | Averaging Time |
| Pollutant | Annual | 24 hrs. | 8 hrs. | 3 hrs. | 1 hr. |
| Sulphur dioxide | 1.0 µg/m3 | 5 µg/m3 | -------- | 25 µg/m3 | -------- |
| PM10 | 1.0 µg/m3 | 5 µg/m3 | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| 0.3 µg/m3 | 1.2 µg/m3 | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| 1.0 µg/m3 | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| -------- | -------- | 0.5 µg/m3 | -------- | 2 µg/m3 |
(2) A permit may be granted for a major stationary source or major modification as identified in paragraph (f)(1) of this regulation if the impact of the major stationary source's or major modification's emissions upon air quality is reduced by a sufficient amount to compensate for any adverse impact at the location where the major source or modification would otherwise cause or contribute to a violation of any national ambient air quality standard. Subsection (f) shall not apply to a major stationary source or major modification with respect to a particular pollutant if the owner or operator demonstrates that the source is located in an area that has been identified as not meeting either the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard for that particular pollutant.(g) Stack height requirements. K.A.R. 28-19-18 through K.A.R. 28-19-18f, regarding stack height requirements, shall apply to the sources subject to this regulation.(h) Application required.

The administrator, through the appropriate regional office, shall also be notified of every action taken concerning the application.(j) Permit suspension or revocation. Any permit issued under this regulation may be suspended or revoked by the secretary upon a finding that the owner or operator has failed to comply with any requirement specified in the permit or with any other statutory or regulatory requirement.
