Unless otherwise required by law, the Department will consider any period of excess emissions to be a violation of law, regardless of the cause. Information submitted pursuant to §§C and D of this regulation will be considered, however, in determining whether the excess emissions are the result of a malfunction and whether to commence an administrative or judicial proceeding authorized by State and federal law.
C.
Report of Excess Emissions.
