OSTI ID:6772097

This manual provides guidance for Department of Energy (DOE) officials who are responsible for complying with the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The regulations require that new major stationary sources of air pollution or modifications to existing major sources located in attainment or unclassified areas comply with existing National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), allowable PSD increments, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), and the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Compliance with the PSD regulations entails a determination of applicability, an analysis of the best available control technology (BACT), an analysis of air quality impacts, an analysis of additional impacts, and a public participation process. This guidance manual supplements and must be used in conjunction with the DOE Environmental Compliance Guide (DOE 1981) and the appropriate PSD manuals from the US EPA and the state. Section 52.21 of the Code of Federal Regulations applies if EPA is the permitting authority, otherwise, state PSD provisions apply.
