[Comment: As of June 30, 2008, the rules in Chapter 3745-35 of the Administrative Code were moved and incorporated into the rules in Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Code and the rules in Chapter 3745-35 of the Administrative Code were rescinded. References to Chapter 3745-35 of the Administrative Code remain in this rule for historical accuracy.]
(C) Any owner or operator of an air contaminant source in violation of the limitations specified in rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code shall comply with the requirements as expeditiously as practicable, but in no event later than the following dates:
(1) Owners or operators of any recovery furnace in violation of paragraph (A)(1) of the rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code, by March 1, 1988.
(2) Owners or operators of any digester system in violation of paragraph (A)(2) of rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code, by July 1, 1986.
(3) Owners or operators of any multiple-effect evaporator system in violation of paragraph (A)(3) of rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code, by July 1, 1986.
(4) Owners or operators of any lime kiln in violation of paragraph (A)(4) of rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code, by November 1, 1986.

(6) Owners or operators of any smelt dissolving tank in violation of paragraph (A)(6) of rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code, by July 1, 1986.
(7) The director may extend the final compliance obligation for any facilities within an existing Kraft pulp mill, for a period not to exceed four years after the effective date of the "Ohio State Implementation Plan" for the control of total reduced sulfur emissions, upon a showing that because of the limited remaining useful life of such facilities, they will be replaced or modified in a manner which makes them subject to federal new source performance standards.
(D) The director may modify the requirements of rule 3745-73-03 of the Administrative Code as those requirements apply to a facility, upon a showing that compliance with a requirement within the prescribed time is technically infeasible, economically unreasonable, or impossible because of conditions beyond the control of the applicant. Any such determination by the director shall be based upon consideration of the remaining useful life of the facility and such other factors as the director deems appropriate.
