SC Minor-Source Permit Rules Changed
The EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove changes South Carolina made to its minor source permit program and minor New Source Review (NSR). The State submitted these revisions on October 1, 2007; July 18, 2011; June 17, 2013; August 8, 2014; January 20, 2016; July 27, 2016; and April 24, 2020, and the action is proposed under the Clean Air Act. If you run a business in South Carolina that needs a minor source permit, these proposed changes could alter how you obtain permits and how much you spend; some approved parts will take effect soon, so watch for follow-up rules.
