LAC 33:IX.4711. May alternative requirements be authorized?

A. Any interested person may request that alternative requirements less stringent than those specified in LAC 33:IX.4709.A-E be imposed in the permit. The state administrative authority may establish alternative requirements less stringent than the requirements of LAC 33:IX.4709.A-E only if: 1. there is an applicable requirement under LAC 33:IX.4709.A-E; 2. the state administrative authority determines that data specific to the facility indicate that compliance with the requirement at issue would result in compliance costs wholly out of proportion to those EPA considered in establishing the requirement at issue or would result in significant adverse impacts on local air quality, significant adverse impacts on local water resources other than impingement or entrainment, or significant adverse impacts on local energy markets; 3. the alternative requirement requested is no less stringent than justified by the wholly out of proportion cost or the significant adverse impacts on local air quality, significant adverse impacts on local water resources other than impingement or entrainment, or significant adverse impacts on local energy markets; and 4. the alternative requirement will ensure compliance with other applicable provisions of the CWA and any applicable requirement of state law. B. The burden is on the person requesting the alternative requirement to demonstrate that the alternative requirements should be authorized.
