Section 250-RICR-120-05-22.7 - Requirement for Registration

A. The owner or operator of a stationary source which emits a listed toxic air contaminant in an amount greater than the Minimum Quantity for that substance specified in § 22.11 of this Part, during a calendar year shall register in writing with the Department on or before April 15 of the following calendar year. The registration shall be signed by the owner or operator of the stationary source. An annual emissions summary submitted to comply with Part 14 of this Subchapter (Record Keeping and Reporting), shall satisfy this requirement provided that it includes all of the information listed in § 22.7(B) of this Part.

B. Registrations shall include, at a minimum, the following information:

1. The name and address of the facility;

2. The name and telephone number of the owner or operator of the facility and of a technical contact person for the facility; and

3. For each of the listed toxic air contaminants emitted by the facility in an amount greater than the Minimum Quantity for that substance during the previous calendar year:

a. The name of the substance;

b. The process that emitted the substance;

c. The amount of the substance used at the facility during the previous calendar year,

d. The amount of the substance emitted by the facility during the previous calendar year, and

e. The method used to calculate emissions from the facility.

C. Any listed toxic substance that is present in a mixture shall be included in the registration provided that:

1. The substance is listed on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for that mixture prepared pursuant to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 C.F.R. § 1910.1200). If the chemical manufacturer claims on the SDS that the content of the mixture is proprietary information, it is the responsibility of the owner or the operator of the facility using that mixture to determine whether the mixture contains listed toxic substances. A certification from the manufacturer shall be deemed an acceptable determination of whether the mixture contains listed toxic substances; or

2. For a mixture which does not have a SDS, the concentration of the listed toxic substance in the mixture is at least one percent (1%). A listed toxic substance that is a carcinogen, as defined in this regulation, shall be included in the registration if the concentration of that substance is at least 0.1% of the mixture.
