Owners or operators of existing emission sources were required to comply with the emission standards and limitations of Rule 202 by December 31, 1972; except that owners or operators of emission sources subject to Rule 203(g) were required to comply with the emission standards and limitations of Rule 203 by May 30, 1975.

Except as otherwise provided in Rule 203, every existing process emission source which was not in compliance with Rule 203(b) as of April 14, 1972, was required to comply with Rule 203(a), unless both of the following conditions were met:

a)                  The source was in compliance, as of April 14, 1972, with the terms and conditions of a variance granted by the Board, or, by June 13, 1972, the source was the subject of a variance petition filed with the Board, which variance was subsequently granted; and,

b)                  As of April 14, 1972, construction was commenced on equipment or modifications sufficient to achieve compliance with Rule 203(b).

Rule 203(d)(3)(A) and (B)

Corn wet milling processes subject to Rule 203(d)(3) were subject to a standard of 0.3 gr/scf of effluent gas from April 14, 1972 to May 30, 1975.

Rule 203(d)(5)(L) and (M)

Every owner or operator of an emission source the construction or modification of which was commenced after September 6, 1979 was required to comply with the emission standards and limitations of Rule 203(d)(5) upon commencement of operation.

Every owner or operator of an emission source the construction or operation of which was commenced prior to September 6, 1979 was required to comply with the emission standards and limitations of Rule 203(d)(5) no later than December 31, 1982.

From the effective date of this Rule 203(d)(5) through December 31, 1982, full compliance program and project completion schedule pursuant to Rule 104 for all sources of particulate emissions subject to Rule 203(d)(5) and 203(f) as amended under common ownership or control in the same air quality control region constituted compliance with the emission standards and limitations contained in Part II if such Compliance Program and Project Completion Schedule:

a)                  provided for compliance by all sources of particulate matter subject to Rules 203(d)(5) and 203(f), as amended, under common ownership or control in the same air quality region, as expeditiously as practicable considering what was economically reasonable and technically feasible, and

b)                  provided for reasonable further progress in achieving the reductions in particulate emissions required by Rule 203(d)(5) and 203(f), as amended, including annual increments of reductions such that at least one-third of the total reductions were achieved by December 31, 1980 and at least two-thirds of the total reduction were achieved by December 31, 1981, unless the owner or operator demonstrated in a hearing before the Board that such increments were technically infeasible or economically unreasonable or unless the owner or operator demonstrated in a hearing before the Board that some alternate schedule represents reasonable further progress within the meaning of Section 172(b) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.

The provisions of Rule 203(d)(5)(L)(iii) did not apply to any facility subject to a rule which was not in full force and effect as a matter of state law because of judicial action, and in such event the facility shall remain subject to the regulations in effect at the time these amendments were adopted.

The provisions of Rule 203(d)(5)(L) were not severable.  Should any portion thereof have been found invalid or been disapproved by USEPA as a revision of the state implementation plan pursuant to the Clean Air Act, then the entire Rule 203(d)(5)(L) would have been null and void, the provisions of Rule 203(d)(5)(A) and (B) were to have become immediately effective, and the provisions of existing Rules 203(a), (b), and (c) and prior Rules 203(d)(2) (in effect from April 14, 1972 to the effective date of this Rule) were to have been reinstated.
