All demonstrations of the occurrence of a net air quality benefit shall meet the following criteria.
A. Emission offsets for volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides emissions impacting an ozone nonattainment area may be obtained from sources located in the broad vicinity of the proposed new source or modification, subject to approval by the department. Atmospheric dispersion modeling will not be required to demonstrate the net air quality benefit that occurs due to reductions in volatile organic compound emissions.
B. An applicant which proposes emission offsets for sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, or any other pollutant may be required by the department to submit atmospheric dispersion modeling to demonstrate a net air quality benefit will occur. For any case involving these pollutants where stack emissions and fugitive or ground level emissions are offsetting, atmospheric dispersion modeling shall be required to demonstrate a net air quality benefit will occur.
