A. If an emissions unit that is a major source of sulfur dioxide located in a sulfur dioxide nonattainment area has not operated for more than twenty-four consecutive calendar months, it may only be restarted if the owner or operator of such source does all of the following:
2. Demonstrates that startup of that unit will not require reconstruction; and
3. Submits a startup plan that includes a source testing plan.
B. The demonstration and plan shall be submitted at least one hundred eighty days prior to the expected day when the restarting of the non-operating unit will commence. The control officer may request additional information, as necessary to evaluate the submittals. The unit shall not be restarted unless the control officer approves the submittal.
C. If the control officer disapproves a demonstration or plan required in subsection A of this section, or such demonstration or plan, including additional information requested by the control officer, is not submitted in a timely manner, the source shall be required to obtain a permit pursuant to the requirements for a new major source or major modification as contained in this chapter.
D. The conduct of performance tests that comply with the requirements of Section 17.11.210 and demonstrate compliance with emission limits prescribed in a permit for that source or an applicable rule shall constitute operation of an emitting unit for the purposes of this section.
