The emissions caps for individual criteria pollutants shall be as follows:
1. For SO2, the emissions cap shall be 539 tpy.2. For PM10, the emissions cap shall be 42 tpy.3. For NOX, the emissions cap shall be 262 tpy.C. Upon completion of the stack test for the powerhouse required by Table 4.2 of the PSD permit, the emissions cap for PM10 prescribed in subsection B of this section may be adjusted by the DEQ based on the results of the stack test and in accordance with Section 4.3.2 of the PSD permit.9 Va.
