ASPHALT CONCRETE PLANTS

Air General Permit Registration Worksheet

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“Department” or “FDEP”) has established

an air general permit under paragraph 62-210.310(4)(g), Florida Administrative Code
(“F.A.C.”), for asphalt concrete plants. An air general permit is an authorization by rule to
construct or operate a specific type of air pollutant emitting facility. Use of such authorization by
any individual facility does not require action by the Department. The terms and conditions of
the air general permit are set forth in the rule, rather than in a separately issued air construction
or air operation permit.

If you are the owner or operator of an eligible facility comprising one or more asphalt concrete
plants, you may register to use the air general permit under paragraph 62-210.310(4)(g), F.A.C.,
by following the general procedures and conditions given under subsections 62-210.310(2) and
62-210.310(3), F.A.C.

To register, you may complete this registration worksheet and submit it to the address below,
along with the air general permit registration processing fee ($100.00), payable to FDEP.

Department of Environmental Protection

Attn: FDEP Air General Permits
2600 Blair Stone Road, MS 5500
Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-2400

If you properly register to use an air general permit, and are not denied use of the air general
permit by the Department, you are authorized to construct and operate the facility in accordance
with the general terms and conditions of Rule 62-210.310, F.A.C., and the specific terms and
conditions of paragraph 62-210.310(4)(g), F.A.C. Your facility may vary, so be sure your
registration describes the operations at your facility in sufficient detail to demonstrate the
facility’s eligibility for use of the air general permit and to provide a basis for tracking any future
equipment or process changes. Your registration should describe all air pollutant-emitting
processes and equipment at the facility, and it should identify any air pollution control measures
or equipment used.

The rules do not require any specific format for the registration. This worksheet, however, has
been designed to assist owners and operators. Using it as a template for a general permit
registration will help ensure that all necessary information is submitted.

Additional information can be found on the Department’s air general permit program website
(https://floridadep.gov/air/permitting-compliance/content/air-general-permits) or by calling the
Small Business Environmental Assistance Program Hotline at 1-800-722-7457.

AIR GENERAL PERMIT REGISTRATION WORKSHEET

Facility Identification Number (For existing permitted facilities, enter the seven-digit facility ID
number. Please include any leading zeros necessary to reach seven digits.)

Registration Type
Check one of the seven options below:

INITIAL REGISTRATION - Notification of intent to:

Construct and operate a proposed new facility.
Operate an existing permitted facility not currently using an air general permit (e.g., a facility proposing to
go from an air operation permit to an air general permit). If the facility currently holds one or more air
operation permits, such permit(s) must be surrendered by the owner or operator upon the effective date of
this air general permit. (See “Surrender of Existing Air Operation Permit(s)” below.)
Operate an existing facility not currently permitted or using an air general permit.

RE-REGISTRATION (for facilities currently using an air general permit) - Notification of intent to:
Continue operating the facility after expiration of the current term of air general permit use.
Continue operating the facility after a change of ownership.
Make an equipment change requiring re-registration pursuant to paragraph 62-210.310(2)(e), F.A.C.
Any other change not considered an administrative correction under paragraph 62-210.310(2)(d), F.A.C.

Surrender of Existing Air Operation Permit(s) - For Initial Registrations, if Applicable

All existing air operation permits for this facility are hereby surrendered upon the effective date of this air general
permit; specifically permit number(s):

General Facility Information

Facility Owner/Company Name (Name of corporation, agency, or individual owner who or which owns, leases,
operates, controls, or supervises the facility.)

Site Name (Name, if any, of the facility site; e.g., Plant A, Metropolis Plant, etc. If more than one facility is owned,
a complete registration must be submitted for each.)

Type of Facility
Check one:
Stationary Facility Relocatable Facility*
* Only one Relocatable Asphalt Concrete Plant can operate under this Air General Permit.

Process Type(s)
Check all that apply:
Continuous Drum Mix Batch Mix

Asphalt Concrete Production Rate

If this is an initial registration for an Asphalt Concrete Plant, provide an estimate of the total production rate of
asphaltic concrete, in tons, expected in the initial 12-month period.

If this is a re-registration for an Asphalt Concrete Plant, provide the highest 12-month total production rate of
asphaltic concrete, in tons, in the last five years. Indicate the 12-month period over which this production occurred.

Note: To be eligible for this air general permit, the production rate of asphaltic concrete shall not exceed 600,000
tons in any consecutive twelve-month period for a drum mix process or 300,000 tons in any consecutive twelve-
month period for a batch mix process or an equivalent prorated amount if multiple processes are used.
