Section 591-B - Meteorological data collection1.Data requirements. A minimum of one year of acceptable on-site meteorological data is required for any modeling analysis. If more than one year of on-site data is available, all acceptable data must be used, up to a maximum of 5 years of data. If less than 5 consecutive years of acceptable on-site data is available, the source must continue to collect meteorological data to obtain an acceptable 5-year data base. Acceptable data means that the data meets the department's requirements based on the federal Environmental Protection Agency's guidelines on air quality models. [1991, c. 384, §12(NEW); 1991, c. 384, §16(AFF).]

The department's requirements based on federal requirements for meteorological data change; [1991, c. 384, §12(NEW); 1991, c. 384, §16(AFF).]B. Sufficient ambient air quality violations occur to make collection of additional meteorological data necessary; or [1991, c. 384, §12(NEW); 1991, c. 384, §16(AFF).]C. The emission source configuration is significantly changed. [1991, c. 384, §12(NEW); 1991, c. 384, §16(AFF).] [1991, c. 384, §12(NEW); 1991, c. 384, §16(AFF).]
