Alternatives to Title V Permits for Mid-sized Facilities

Any facility subject to Title V because its potential emissions exceed the trigger levels in the District's program, but which has actual annual emissions that are always below those levels, may opt out of Title V through one of the following two approaches:

  1. A facility may apply for and receive a Synthetic Minor Operating Permit (SMOP). The requirements for a SMOP are laid out in Regulation 2, Rule 6, Major Facility Review; or
  2. A facility may show that its Potential to Emit (PTE) is below each Major Facility pollutant threshold by using the procedure set forth in the Manual of Procedures Volume II, Part 3, Major Facility Review.
