REGULATION FOR THE CONTROL OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION AMENDMENT (Rule 102, 210 and 425)

(B) If a new measure/control is promulgated and scheduled to be implemented at the federal or state level, and that measure/control is determined to be sufficient to address a violation of the SO₂ NAAQS, additional local measures may be unnecessary. Furthermore, DNER will submit to U.S. EPA an analysis to demonstrate the proposed measures are adequate to return the area to attainment. (C) The DNER may require, any owner or operator responsible for any source of sulfur dioxide emissions which may be contributing to air pollution, to install, operate, and maintain monitoring devices; to maintain records; and file periodic reports to the DNER. (1) The DNER may require the owner or operator to submit an "Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Plan". Such plan shall include an air quality and meteorological measurement network consistent with the objective of obtaining an accurate assessment of the sulfur dioxide air quality and meteorology within the zone impacted by sulfur dioxide emissions from the source. The plan shall comply with the USEPA guidelines. The DNER may issue additional orders pursuant to this paragraph to require that a previously submitted plan be clarified, updated, corrected, supplemented, or otherwise amended.
