Summary: PDEQ is interested in reorganizing Title 17. The intention is to organize Title 17 in a more coherent manner by separating Class I (major source) rules and Class II and III (minor source) rules.  This proposal is in response to PDEQ's necessity to update the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Title V (part 70) program.  The proposed separation of major and minor source rules will simplify the submittal process for PDEQ and more importantly provide a more comprehensible set of rules to stakeholders and the public.
