(b) 1979 and Newer Model Year without catalyst: 3.0%;

(c) 1985 and Newer Model Year with catalyst: 1.0%.

(2) Gross CO emissions exceed the applicable model year CO standard by a factor of one and one-half (1.5).

(b) 1979 and Newer Model Year without catalyst: 350 PPM;

(c) 1985 and Newer Model Year with catalyst: 220 PPM.

(4) Gross HC emissions exceed the applicable model year HC standard by a factor of three (3).

(5) Visible emission must not occur during the steady-state unloaded engine idle and raised rpm portion of the emission test from either the vehicle's exhaust system or the engine crankcase.

(6) The Director may grant a waiver from standards listed in sections (1)-(4) for vehicle classes that DEQ determines present prohibitive inspection problems meeting the listed standards in sections (1) - (4) if DEQ deems the motor vehicle pollution system otherwise meets the standards of this Division.
