12.12.4 National Visibility Goal. The CowrRoi.. OFFIcER shàll only issue an AumoRrrv

To CoNsTRucT/OPERATING PERMrr to those sources whose EMISSIONS will be

consistent with making reasonable proaress toward the national goal of

preventing any future, and remedying any existing. impairment of visibility in

visibility protection areas which impairment results from man-made air

pollution. In making the decision to issue an AumoRnv TO

CoNsmucT/OPERATING PERMIT, the CONTROL OFFIcER may take into account

the costs of compliance, the time necessary for compliance, the energy and

non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance.and the useful life of the

source.
