Asbestos Manufacturing and Fabrication Facilities

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has established an air general permit (AGP) under Rule 62-210.310(5)(j), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), for asbestos manufacturing and fabricating facilities that are subject to the federal requirements of Title 40 Part 61 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 61), Subparts A and M. Eligible asbestos manufacturing and fabricating facilities are not required to use the AGP, and instead may choose to obtain a regular air operating permit.

An AGP is an authorization by rule to construct or operate a specific type of air pollutant emitting facility.  Use of such authorization by any individual facility does not require action by DEP.  The terms and conditions of an AGP are set forth in the rule, rather than in a separately issued air construction or air operation permit.
