operating permits for primary aluminum reduction potlines shall expire on the
rule certified date of 1200-3-19-.14(1)(c) 8.
(ii) The Technical Secretary shall specify on
the operating permit for the sources affected by subpart 8 (i) above as a
permit condition the maximum sulfur content of the carbon electrodes which may
be used. This percent by weight of sulfur shall not exceed 6.0 and shall be
less than that value necessary to assure compliance with the primary
SO2 ambient standards after December 31, 1982 and the
secondary SO2 ambient standard after December 31,
1987.
(iii) The Technical Secretary
shall specify as a condition of the operating permit for the sources affected
by subpart 8 (i) above a compliance schedule assuring attainment of the
secondary standard by December 31, 1987 and the primary standard by December
31, 1982.
