b) "Significant"
means, in reference to a net emissions increase or the potential of a source to
emit a regulated NSR pollutant that subsection (a) does not list, any emissions
rate.
c) Notwithstanding
subsection (a), "significant" means any emissions rate or any net
emissions increase associated with a major stationary source or major
modification that would construct within 10 kilometers of a Class I area, and
have an impact on that area equal to or greater than 1 μg/m

(24-hr average).
