(a) The Department shall compile a list of Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment for which Replacement Technology is unavailable. This list shall be called the Exempt Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment List. Replacement Technology shall be deemed to be “unavailable” for purposes of this list if Replacement Technology does not exist, or if the Replacement Technology cannot be purchased for an amount less than or equal to 300% of the cost of the equivalent Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment, taking into account up-front costs, including electrical infrastructure supporting Replacement Technology, and operating costs over a one-year period for the Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment and equivalent Replacement Technology. As appropriate, the Department may specify on the list limited circumstances in which Replacement Technology for particular Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment is unavailable, such that Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment may be used. The Department shall review the list at least annually and make any necessary changes.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2102, Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment included on the Exempt Gas-Powered Landscaping Equipment List may be used subject to any limitations stated on that list so long as the equipment remains on the list.
