(c) The BART analysis under subsection (a)(1) must comply with 40 CFR 51, Appendix Y, "Guidelines for BART Determinations Under the Regional Haze Rule*" and must consider the following factors:
(1) The costs of compliance.
(2) The energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of compliance.
(3) Any existing pollution control technology in use at the source.
(4) The remaining useful life of the source.
(5) The degree of visibility improvement that may reasonably be anticipated from the use of BART.

(d) At a minimum, the BART analysis shall address SO2, NOx, and particulate matter emissions if emissions of those pollutants are equal to or greater than the following levels for the source:
(1) Forty (40) tons per year of SO2 or NOx.
(2) Fifteen (15) tons per year of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than ten (10) micrometers (PM10).

(e) The department may require additional information from sources subject to BART to complete the review of the BART analysis.

(f) Within two hundred seventy (270) days of the completeness review under subsection (b), the department shall provide a written notification to the owner or operator of a source subject to BART indicating whether the analysis is approved.

(g) For sources required to submit an analysis under this section that do not submit an approveable analysis in accordance with this section, the department shall determine BART for the source within ninety (90) days after the end of the period described in subsection (f).
