Quick Screen
To determine whether your facility qualifies for this PBR, first consider this quick screen:
- This PBR does not apply to asbestos-handling facilities.
- The facility (including associated stationary equipment and stockpiles) must be at least 300 feet from the nearest:
- Recreational area,
- School,
- Residence, other than that of the facility owner, facility operator, or site owner, or
- Other structure, unless that structure is used by only the facility owner, facility operator, or site owner.
If your facility complies with these limitations:
- Complete our PBR Applicability Checklist, TCEQ Form - 10149, to find out whether your facility meets the general conditions for a PBR, and
- To find out whether it meets the specific conditions for this PBR, complete our PBR 106.144 Checklist, TCEQ Form - 10106.
If your facility cannot comply with the conditions indicated in these checklists, see Types of New Source Review Authorizations for other options.
