Florida Administrative Code's regulations limiting FPC's emissions
62-296.500 Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Nitrogen
Oxides (NOx) Emitting Facilities.
(3) Exceptions.
(a) Emissions units which in combination with all other emissions units at the facility subject
to the same specific emission limitation under Rule 62-296.501 through 62-296.516, F.A.C., emit
VOC at rates of not more than 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) in any one day and not more than 3 pounds
(1.4 kilograms) in any one hour. (b) Emissions units used exclusively for chemical or physical
analysis, or for the determination of product quality and commercial acceptance, provided:
1. The operation of the emissions unit is not an integral part of any production process; and,
2. The emissions from the emissions unit do not exceed 800 pounds (363 kilograms) in any one calendar
month.
62-210.300
(3) Exemptions.
A facility, emissions unit or pollutant-emitting activity shall be exempt from the permitting requirements of
this chapter, Chapters 62-212 and 62-4, F.A.C., if it satisfies the applicable criteria of paragraph 62-210.300(3)(a) or (b), F.A.C., or
if it has been exempted from permitting pursuant to Rule 62-4.040, F.A.C. Failure of a facility, emissions unit or activity to satisfy
the exemption criteria of paragraph 62-210.300(3)(a) or (b), F.A.C., does not preclude such facility, unit or activity from being
considered for exemption pursuant to Rule 62-4.040, F.A.C. Emissions units and pollutant-emitting activities exempt from
permitting under this rule shall not be exempt from the permitting requirements of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C., if they are contained
within a Title V source; however, such emissions units and activities shall be considered insignificant for Title V purposes provided
they also meet the criteria of subparagraph 62-213.300(2)(a)1. or paragraph 62-213.430(6)(b), F.A.C. Any proposed new emissions
unit or activity that would be exempt from permitting under this rule shall not be required to obtain an air construction permit
pursuant to this chapter, Chapter 62-212 or 62-4, F.A.C., even if such unit or activity would be contained within a Title V source.
No emissions unit shall be entitled to an exemption from permitting under this rule if its emissions, in combination with the
emissions of other units and activities at the facility, would cause the facility to emit or have the potential to emit any pollutant in
such amount as to make the facility a Title V source. Neither shall any emissions unit be entitled to an exemption from permitting
under this rule if it would be subject to any unit-specific applicable requirement. Notwithstanding its exemption from air
permitting, an exempt emissions unit or activity shall be subject to any general, facility-level applicable requirements, and its
emissions shall be considered in determining the applicability of permitting requirements to other emissions units at the facility or
to the facility as a whole.
