Visibility monitoring

The department may require monitoring of visibility in any federal class I area near the proposed new stationary source or major modification for such purposes and by such means as the department deems necessary and appropriate. This can include preconstruction, concurrent with construction, or postconstruction monitoring or any combination thereof. The department shall provide its proposed requirements for visibility monitoring by the owner or operator to the federal land manager prior to issuing a permit to construct. The department shall consider the federal land manager's comments on the proposed monitoring in any final determinations to be placed on a permit to construct or permit to operate, or both.
