					 of this title for that unit. The executive director:
(1) shall consider on a case-by-case basis
					 the technological and economic circumstances of the individual unit;
(2) shall determine that such specifications
					 are the result of the lowest emission limitation the unit is capable of meeting
					 after the application of controls to meet the nitrogen oxides emission
					 specifications of §
