b| Emissions of wter and water vapor. Sections 212.122 and 212.121 shall not apply to
emissions of water or water vapor from an emission source.
c) Adjusted standards. An emission source which has obtained an adjusted opacity standard pursuant- to Section 212.126 shall be subject to that standard rather than the limitations of Section 212.122 or 212.12).
d) Compl lance with the particulate regulations of this Part shall constitute a defense.
1) For all emission sources which are. not subject to Chapters 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. 7401 et seq.) end Sections 212.201. 212.202. 212.20) or '212.204 but which are subject to Sections 212.122 or 212.123:
The opacity limitations of Sections 212.122 and 212.123 shall not apply if it is shown, that (he emission source was. at the time.of such .'.* emission. In-compliance with-the - applicable particulate emissions limitations of Subparts 0-T of this Part.
2)- For all emission sources which are not subject to Chapters ill or 112 of the Clean Air Act but which are subject to Sections 212.201. 212.202'. 2121203 or 212.204 arid either Section 212.122 or 212.123:
"A) An- exceedance of the limitations of ' Section 212.122 or 212.123 shall constitute a violation of the applicable particulate limitations of Subparts 0-T of this Part. It shall be a defense to a.violation of the applicable particulate limitations if* during a subsequent performance test conducted within a.reasonable time not to exceed 60 days, wider the same operating, conditions for the source and the control devtce(s). and in accordance with.Hethod S. 40 CFR 60. Incorporated by reference in Section 212.113,.the owner or operator shows that the source is in compliance with the particulate emission limitations.
B) It.shall be a defense to an exceedance of the opacity limit if. during a subsequent performance test conducted' within a reasonable time not to exceed 60 days, under the same operating conditions of the source and the control device(s). and in accordance with Method S. 40 CFR 60. Appendix A. incorporated by reference in Section 212.113. the owner or operator shows that the source is in compliance with the allowable particulate emissions limitation while, simultaneously, having visible emissions equal to or greater than the opacity exceedance as originally
observed.
