In the following examples, the permitted maximum pound per hour rate for pollutant is 500 pounds per A hour and the RQ for pollutant is 1000 pounds. In all cases, the unauthorized discharge does not cause A an emergency condition. An unauthorized discharge of 1400 pounds of originates from a permitted flare. A In this example, the unauthorized discharge does have to be reported per LAC 33:I.3917.A not because excess emissions of are less than 1500 pounds (i.e., the permitted maximum pound per A hour rate plus the RQ). An unauthorized discharge of 1400 pounds of originates from a previously undetected and A unpermitted leak in a pipeline. In this example, the unauthorized discharge has to be reported per LAC 33:I.3917.A because excess emissions of exceed 1000 pounds (i.e., the RQ of zero plus the RQ). A “floor” An unauthorized discharge of 1600 pounds of originates from a permitted flare. A In this example, the unauthorized discharge has to be reported per LAC 33:I.3917.A because excess emissions of exceed 1500 pounds (i.e., the permitted maximum pound per hour rate plus the RQ). A An unauthorized discharge of 900 pounds of originates from a previously undetected and A unpermitted leak in a pipeline. In this example, the unauthorized discharge does have to be reported per LAC 33:I.3917.A not because excess emissions of are less than 1000 pounds (i.e., the RQ of zero plus the RQ). A “floor”

In this example, the unauthorized discharge has to be reported per LAC 33:I.3917.A because excess emissions of A exceed 1000 pounds (i.e., the RQ “floor” of zero plus the RQ).
