If this permit specifically states that final authorization has been granted, then the remainder of this condition is not applicable. Otherwise, the issuance of this construction permit does not provide "final" authority for this activity or operation of this source. Final authorization of the permit must be secured from the APCD in writing in accordance with the provisions of 25-7-114.5(12)(a) C.R.S. and AQCC Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section III.G. Final authorization cannot be granted until the operation or activity commences and has been verified by the APCD as conforming in all respects with the conditions of the permit. Once self-certification of all points has been reviewed and approved by the Division, it will provide written documentation of such final authorization. Details for obtaining final authorization to operate are located in the Requirements to Self- Certify for Final Authorization section of this permit. 21. This permit is issued in reliance upon the accuracy and completeness of information supplied by the owner or operator and is conditioned upon conduct of the activity, or construction, installation and operation of the source, in accordance with this information and with representations made by the owner or operator or owner or operator's agents. It is valid only for the equipment and operations or activity specifically identified on the permit. 22. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the general and specific conditions contained in this permit have been determined by the APCD to be necessary to assure compliance with the provisions of Section 25-7-114.5(7)(a), C.R.S. 23.

Any challenge to or appeal of a condition hereof shall constitute a rejection of the entire permit and upon such occurrence, this permit shall be deemed denied ab initio. This permit may be revoked at any time prior to self-certification and final authorization by the Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) on grounds set forth in the Colorado Air Quality Control Act and regulations of the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC), including failure to meet any express term or condition of the permit. If the Division denies a permit, conditions imposed upon a permit are contested by the owner or operator, or the Division revokes a permit, the owner or operator of a source may request a hearing before the AQCC for review of the Division's action.

AQCC Regulation 2 Section I.A applies to all emission sources."No person,wherever located,shall cause or allow the emission of odorous air contaminants from any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are measured in excess of the following limits: For areas used predominantly for residential or commercial purposes it is a violation if odors are detected after the odorous air has been diluted with seven(7)or more volumes of odor free air."
