Section 428.04. Requirements and performance standards for new or modified sources.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to emissions units described in this section that are located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Washington or Waukesha and that are constructed or that undergo a major modification, as that term is described in ch. NR 405 or 408 , after February 1, 2001. When determining whether an emissions unit undergoes a major modification for purposes of this section, any increase in CO emissions resulting from the operation of the emissions unit, or operation of NO x emissions control equipment for purposes of meeting state or federal NO x emission requirements, will not be considered in the emissions calculations.
