DE MINIMIS EXEMPTIONS:
Units smaller than 325 hp are exempt from permitting. No letter or notification is required, however sources
must be able to document their emissions. If a source has a potential to emit above the levels listed below it
cannot be exempted:
100 tpy of CO
40 tpy of NOx, SO2 or VOCs
15 tpy of PM-10 or
25 tpy of PM
MINOR SOURCE PERMITTING:
A general permit is available for stationary units smaller than 3,000 hp. A general permit will include enforceable
operating limits to ensure that the unit remains a minor source. In most cases units receive an operating limit
below 8,760 hours per year, however a generator less than 500 hp is not likely to have such a limit.
Larger sources must obtain a Class II permit which includes a case by case determination of limits. The state
will consider emissions and modeling data. If a unit exceeds ambient air impact levels or has emissions over 100
tpy the permit will include an hourly limit to avoid Title V permitting. A recent 3,250 hp project was permitted
in an attainment area in the state. Modeling showed that the unit exceeded ambient impacts for NOx so the stacks
were raised.
There is a 30-day public comment period for Class II permits, but none for general permits. The total permitting
time authorized for Class II permits is approximately a year, but it generally takes only 5-6 months. A general
permit is authorized to take 5-6 months, but is usually issued within 2-3 weeks.
MAJOR NSR/PSD PERMITTING:
A potential to emit 250 tons or more of any criteria pollutant triggers PSD in attainment areas.
TREATMENT OF EMERGENCY ENGINES:
Emergency engines are treated the same as other units. They receive no special treatment.
In 1971, the Arizona Legislature required that the Corporate Commission establish a power plant and line
siting committee. The Committee provides a single, independent forum to evaluate applications to build power
plants of 100 MW or more.

There are no exit fees for DG in the state of Arizona. (See below)
In Arizona, Competitive Transition Charges are not imposed on self-generation facilities even when the loads
were formerly served by the utility. The Arizona
Corporation Commission Rule 14-2-1607 provides:
F. Any reduction in electricity purchases from affected utility resulting from self-generation, demand side
management, or other demand reduction attributable to any cause other than the retail access provisions of this
Article shall not be used to calculate or recover any Stranded Cost from a consumer.
Local authorities are responsible for adopting and enforcing building codes in the state. A statewide fire code is
enforced by the state fire marshal office.
