You will be prompted to attach a copy of the edited active permit when you reach the Attachments page. You should use this option where you are proposing revisions to existing permit language.

Subject Item — Select a subject item (emission unit, control equipment, monitor, etc.) from the drop-down list to add associated permit requirements. Only select subject items you wish to edit. If the subject item you wish to select is not present, first save any progress you have made. Then, navigate to the appropriate page via the navigation panel on the left and make sure that the subject item is added there.

Click Add Row to add requirements. Under Standard Language, this will add a set of multiple requirements for the regulation chosen from the drop-down lists.

Under Other Proposed Requirements, click Add Row to add a blank row and enter the proposed requirement text.

Click the Delete icon to erase a row that you have added. Existing rows may be modified but not deleted.

The first row of Standard Language cannot be deleted but can be cleared by selecting the blank option in the first Regulation drop-down list and clicking Retrieve Requirements. If there are additional Standard Language rows that have been populated, you must populate the first row with a requirement profile in order to continue to the next page. If your first row is blank and you have no more requirements to add, select the same profile as your last row and delete the last row to avoid an error when you click Continue.

In the Other Proposed Requirements section, if you need to delete the first row and do not have additional information to replace it with, and there is data in the subsequent rows, then as with the Standard Language section, there is not an option to delete the first row. Instead, copy the information you entered in the last row to the first row and then delete the last row.

Standard Language — Use this option when you wish to add MPCA-provided standard language. Standard language eliminates manually entering individual requirements. You can view the list of available options in the Regulation drop-down list.

Regulation — Start at the left drop-down list. Select a regulation category to include in your permit. Each drop-down list is a sublevel for the category at left. The drop-down lists will be filtered in a waterfall manner.

Retrieve Requirements — Click this button after you have filled in each applicable regulation drop-down. The standard requirements for the selected regulation will then auto-populate in the requirement text rows below.

Requirement Text — This is auto-populated with requirement text based on Regulation drop-down lists. This text is not editable. If no text populates in the Requirement Text boxes, you most likely need to select additional options from the drop-down lists further to the right.

Upper Limit and Lower Limit Proposed Value — For numeric limits, you must provide a proposed value for the requirement text. These fields are not always mandatory and allow numbers from 0.000000 to 999,999,999,999.99.

Comment — Enter the reason for the proposed value for the requirement text as well as any other comments you wish to include for any retrieved requirement (e.g., value based on stack test, this requirement does not apply to my facility because of...., the proposed upper limit value should be “less than or equal to”, etc.). This field is mandatory when a Proposed Value was provided and allows up to 1,000 characters.

Other Proposed Requirements — Use this option when you wish to propose custom permit requirements (e.g., not standard language). For each proposed limit, you must also include proposed compliance demonstration requirements such as daily recordkeeping, stack testing, etc.

Requirement Text — Provide the proposed requirement text in this field. This field is mandatory and allows up to 1,000 characters.

Proposed Citation — Provide a citation for the requirement. This field is mandatory and allows up to 25 characters.

Comment — Enter the reason for the proposed requirement, as well as any other comments you wish to include. This field is mandatory and allows up to 1,000 characters.

Are you in compliance with all current permit requirements as well as all permit requirements proposed above? — Select Yes or No from the drop-down list to answer this question. If you select No, you must provide an explanation in the text box below the question. This field allows up to 500 characters.

Click Next Subject Item to go to the next subject item. This action will take you away from the current page if all mandatory fields are entered. You will not be able to move to the next subject item if you are currently viewing the last item.

Click Previous Subject Item to go back to the previous subject item. This action will take you away from the current page if all mandatory fields are entered. You will not be able to view the previous subject item if you are currently viewing the first item.
