NAC 445B.22095 Emission limitation for BART. (NRS 445B.210) The emission limitation for BART 

must be established on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration: 

 1. The technology available; 

 2. The costs of compliance; 

 3. The energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of compliance; 

 4. Any pollution control equipment in use or in existence at the source or unit; 

 5. The remaining useful life of the source or unit; and 

 6. The degree of improvement in visibility which may reasonably be anticipated to result from the use 

of such technology.

 2. The control measures established in subsection 1 may be replaced or supplemented with alternative 

technologies approved in advance by the Director, provided that the emission limits in subsection 1 are 

met. The established or approved control measures must be installed and operating: 

 (a) For NV Energy’s Fort Churchill, Tracy and Reid Gardner generating stations: 

 (1) On or before January 1, 2015; or 

 (2) Not later than 5 years after approval of Nevada’s state implementation plan for regional haze by 

the United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 9, 

¬ whichever occurs first. 

 (b) For Southern California Edison’s Mohave Generating Station, at the time that each unit resumes 

operation. 

 3. If the ownership of any BART regulated emission unit changes, the new owner must comply with 

the requirements set forth in subsection 2. 

 4. For purposes of this section, emissions of PM10 include the components of PM2.5 as a subset.
