Rule Development

Chapter 62-210: Stationary Sources-General Requirements: The adopted rule amendments (OGC No. 10-0877) include revisions to the definitions at Rule 62-210.200, F.A.C., to establish PM2.5 as a pollutant with a significant emissions rate, thereby making industrial facilities that emit PM2.5 potentially subject to preconstruction permitting requirements (at Chapter 62-212, F.A.C.). The amendments are consistent with federal regulation, policy, and guidance, and they do not impose any requirements beyond or in addition to the minimum federal program.

Chapter 62-212: Stationary Sources-Preconstruction Review: The adopted rule amendments (OGC No. 10-0878) incorporate PM2.5 into the state's preconstruction review program for major stationary sources and major modifications. The amendments are consistent with federal regulation, policy, and guidance, and they do not impose any requirements beyond or in addition to the minimum federal program.
