The compliance plan may also specify, in accordance with this section, one or more of the acid rain compliance options. NR 409.09(1)(a)2.2. A complete compliance plan for NOx shall, for each affected unit included in the permit application and subject to s.

NR 409.09(1)(c)(c) Conditional approval. In the compliance plan, the designated representative of an affected unit may propose, in accordance with this section, any acid rain compliance option for conditional approval; provided that an acid rain compliance option under section 407 of the act (42 USC 7651f) may be conditionally proposed only to the extent provided in s. NR 409.065. NR 409.09(1)(c)1.1. To activate a conditionally-approved acid rain compliance option, the designated representative shall notify the department in writing that the conditionally-approved compliance option shall actually be pursued beginning January 1 of a specified year. Notification shall be subject to the limitations on activation under sub. (2) and s. NR 409.065. If the conditionally-approved compliance option includes a plan described in par.

The notification under subd. 1. shall specify the first calendar year and the last calendar year for which the conditionally-approved acid rain compliance option is to be activated. A conditionally-approved compliance option shall be activated, if at all, before the date of any enforceable milestone applicable to the compliance option. The date of activation of the compliance option is not a defense against failure to meet the requirements applicable to that compliance option during each calendar year for which the compliance option is activated. NR 409.09(1)(c)3.3. Upon submission of a notification meeting the requirements of subds. 1. and 2., the conditionally-approved acid rain compliance option becomes binding on the owners and operators and the designated representative of any unit governed by the conditionally-approved compliance option.
