|
A number of questions/answers are presented for clarifying the revised stack height regulations
for Clarification of interpretation of the regulation, SIP requirements and modeling analyses are
presented. Interpretation of the regulation issues include: 1) Criteria to use with respect to
grandfathering dates; 2) The source definition to use when determining whether tie-ins to grandfathered
stacks should be permitted or prohibited; 3) definition of a "facility"; 4) How to determine GEP
