collection of data related to the types of emissions and the rate of discharge
of emissions from each source involved, along with stack sampling when deemed
appropriate.
b. Procedures for plan
review and the issuing of permits relating to the installation or alteration
such that the emission of air contaminants is significantly altered shall be
conducted with respect to control of emissions from new or altered sources.
