The purpose of this bill is to require the Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Air Quality to issue flexible permits with alternative operating scenarios, and that would specify how emissions were to be limited at certain oil and gas facilities. It would set shorter time limits for making completeness determinations, start the time period running for permit issuance if a completeness determination is not promptly made, and allow construction without a permit if general permits were not promptly issued. It would also require the Division of Air Quality to develop general permits for similar types of sources that have similar emissions limitations and would not require an application process. The bill would prohibit duplicative public notice periods.
