      (d) The requirements of Subpart AA 40 CFR do not apply to the pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, commonly referred to as the Stonewall Plant, located at Route 340 South, Elkton, Virginia, provided that facility is operated in compliance with the requirements contained in a permit issued pursuant to 40 CFR 52.2454. The requirements of Supbart AA 40 CFR shall apply to the facility upon termination of the permit issued pursuant to the 40 CFR 52.2454.

      (e) The requirements of Sections R315-264-1030 through 1036 do not apply to the process vents at a facility where the facility owner or operator certifies that all of the process vents that would otherwise be subject to Sections R315-264-1030 through 1036 are equipped with and operating air emission controls in accordance with the process vent requirements of an applicable regulation codified under the Utah Air Conservation Act. The documentation of compliance under regulations codified under the Utah Air Conservation Act shall be kept with, or made readily available with, the facility operating record.
