HB2677 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes § 49-457 to clarify that fugitive PM-10 emissions from regulated agricultural activities subject to an agricultural general permit are not subject to individual permits under § 49-426, except when the source requires a permit for other reasons or when the general permit has been revoked.

• Establishes that if a regulated agricultural activity is located at a stationary source otherwise required to obtain a § 49-426 permit, the permit must include conditions to ensure compliance with federal, state, and county air quality regulations.

• Requires persons whose agricultural general permit has been revoked to obtain an individual § 49-426 permit that includes enforceable best management practice conditions for fugitive PM-10 emissions.

• Clarifies preemption language to specify that state regulation of fugitive PM-10 emissions from regulated agricultural activities preempts local regulation except for rules incorporated into the applicable state implementation plan.

• Defines "fugitive PM-10 emissions" throughout the statute and makes related technical amendments to terminology, such as changing "chairman" to "chairperson" and "recordkeeping" formatting.
