For an engine manufactured or last rebuilt on or after July 1, 2010, either control particulate matter emissions to a level that is the best available control technology or install, operate and maintain a certified control device that has an overall level of particulate matter emission control that is great enough to ensure that an emission rate of 0.01 grams per brake horsepower-hour is achieved. (b) Paragraph (a) notwithstanding, the department may approve the use of an alternative or equivalent control method to any certified control device specified in par. (a) 1. , 2. , 3. or 4. (c) The owner or operator of a facility that conducts any testing involving the operation of an engine or group of engines subject to this section where the engine or engines combust, in the aggregate, 40,000 gallons or more of fuel oil in any 12 consecutive month period shall control particulate matter emissions from the facility from the engine or engines subject to this section to a level that is the best available control technology. (d) Notwithstanding par. (a) , the owner or operator of a facility that combusts fuels with a sulfur content greater than 15 ppm as allowed under sub. (2) shall control particulate matter emissions to a level that is best available control technology, as determined by the department. The owner or operator shall submit a construction permit application including information describing how the best available control technology requirements will be met. Compliance with the best available control technology shall be achieved and demonstrated in accordance with the permit. (4) Compliance demonstration, notification requirements and schedule. (a) 1. Except as provided for in subd. 3. , an owner or operator complying with an emission rate requirement in sub.
