the compliance date under subparagraph (b)3.(i) of this paragraph is not during
a control period. May 1 immediately following the compliance date under
subparagraph (b)3.(i) of this paragraph.
4. For the owner or operator of a CAIR NOx
Ozone Season unit for which construction of a new stack or flue or installation
of add-on NOx emission controls is completed after the applicable deadline
under subparagraphs (b)1., 2., 6., or 7. of this paragraph and that reports on
an annual basis under subparagraph (5)(d) of this Rule, by 90 unit operating
days or 180 calendar days, whichever occurs first, after the date on which
emissions first exit to the atmosphere through the new stack or flue or add-on
NOx emissions controls.
5. For the
owner or operator of a CAIR NOx Ozone Season unit for which construction of a
new stack or flue or installation of add-on NOx emission controls is completed
after the applicable deadline under subparagraphs (b)1., 3., 6., or 7. of this
paragraph and that reports on a control period basis under subparagraph
(5)(d)2.(ii), by the later of the following dates:
(i) 90 unit operating days or 180 calendar
days, whichever occurs first, after the date on which emissions first exit to
the atmosphere through the new stack or flue or add-on NOx emissions controls;
or
(ii) If the compliance date
under subparagraph (b)5.(i) of this paragraph is not during a control period.
May 1 immediately following the compliance date under subparagraph (b)5.(i) of
this paragraph.
6.
Notwithstanding the dates in subparagraphs (b)1., 2., and 3. of this paragraph,
for the owner or operator of a unit for which a CAIR NOx Ozone Season opt-in
permit application is submitted and not withdrawn and a CAIR opt-in permit is
not yet issued or denied under Rule
335-3-8-.33,
