Unless required under the federal clean air act, in determining whether a person is required to obtain a construction permit or an operation permit for a stationary source under this section based on emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from the combustion or decomposition of nonfossilized and biodegradable organic material originating from plants, animals, or microorganisms, the department may only consider carbon dioxide emissions consistent with 40 CFR 51.166 (b) (48) and the definition of “subject to regulation” in 40 CFR 70.2. 285.60(4)(4) Permit flexibility. The department shall allow a person to make a change to a stationary source that has an operation permit, or for which the person has submitted a timely and complete application for an operation permit, for which the department would otherwise first require an operation permit revision, without first requiring a revision of the operation permit if the change is not a modification, as defined by the department by rule, and the change will not cause the stationary source to exceed the emissions allowable under the operation permit, whether expressed as an emission rate or in terms of total emissions. Except in the case of an emergency, a person shall notify the department and, for permits required under the federal clean air act, the administrator of the federal environmental protection agency in writing at least 21 days before the date on which the person proposes to make a change to a stationary source under this subsection. A person may not make a proposed change to a stationary source if the department informs the person before the end of that 21-day period that the proposed change is not a change authorized under this subsection. The department shall promulgate rules establishing a shorter time for advance notification of changes under this subsection in case of emergency. 285.60(5)(5) Exemption from additional permit requirements for approved relocated sources. 285.60(5)(a)(a) Approved relocated source.

The owner or operator of the source provides written notice to the department at least 20 days prior to relocation and the department does not object to the relocation. 285.60(5)(a)5.5. The source in its new location meets all applicable emission limitations and any visibility requirements in the department’s rules and does not violate an ambient air increment or ambient air quality standard. 285.60(5)(b)(b) Exempt from additional permits. Notwithstanding subs. (1) and (2), no additional permit is required if a source is an approved relocated source. 285.60(5m)(5m) Waiver of construction permit requirements. 285.60(5m)(a)(a) Subject to sub. (8), the department shall promulgate rules under which a person is allowed to commence construction, reconstruction, replacement, or modification of a stationary source prior to the issuance of a construction permit upon a showing that commencing construction, reconstruction, replacement, or modification prior to the issuance of the permit is necessary to avoid undue hardship. 285.60(5m)(b)(b) Subject to sub. (8), the department may allow a person to commence construction, reconstruction, replacement, or modification of a stationary source prior to the issuance of a construction permit on a case-by-case basis or on bases specified in a rule. 285.60(5m)(c)(c) The department shall act on a waiver request under this subsection within 15 days after it receives the request. 285.60(6)(a)(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section the department may, by rule, exempt types of stationary sources from any requirement of this section if the potential emissions from the sources do not present a significant hazard to public health, safety or welfare or to the environment. 285.60(6)(b)(b) Subject to sub.
