(1) Reasons for Proposal

This Partial Amendment aims to clarify the legal basis for a disposition to suspend operations for facilities emitting fugitive dust and facilities emitting volatile organic compounds and efficiently operate the penalty surcharge system by including facilities emitting fugitive dust and facilities emitting volatile organic compounds in those subject to penalty surcharges instead of operation suspension.

(2) Major Provisions

A. Specify in detail the legal basis for a disposition to suspend operations for facilities emitting fugitive dust and facilities emitting volatile organic compounds since the current language does not adequately specify the legal basis for such action (Article 36)

B. Include facilities emitting fugitive dust and facilities emitting volatile organic compounds in those subject to penalty surcharges instead of operation suspension (Article 37)
