(1) Within the range of 6.0 to 9.0

(b) Increased loadings, not to exceed 11% above the limitations in par. (a) , are allowed for plants which have wet desulfurization systems but only to the extent that such systems generate an increased effluent volume.

(c) Increased loadings, not to exceed 27% above the limitations in par. (a) , are allowed for plants which include indirect ammonia recovery systems but only to the extent that such systems generate an increased effluent volume.

(3)   Merchant byproduct cokemaking.
