1 Attachment 3 Suggested Format for BART Analysis The MPCA suggests using the following format to provide the information necessary for a BART analysis. 1.0 Executive Summary < Source Description> Table <1>. Summary of Proposed BART Unit Proposed BART Pollutant(s) led <EU, description> <control device or work practice> <,, or > Proposed BART emission limit <describe limit> Visibility Improvement on Percentile Day (delta ) Class I Area(s) Impacted 2.0 Introduction <Source Description and Background> <Identification of BART-eligible units at the facility> <BART analysis methodology> 3.0 BART-Eligible Units Subject to MACT Standard (Include this section only if appropriate) <Describe only those BART-eligible units for which a MACT applies and it addresses a visibilityimpairing pollutant. Describe your rationale as to why the MACT limit represents BART for that pollutant.> Page 1 of 8

For example. if stack test data was used, include the date of the test and fuel combusted. ) Table <5>. Baseline Visibility Modeling Results. Unit ID Class I Area with Greatest Impact Combined <If a facility wishes to provide additional information about visibility modeling results regarding the extent and magnitude of improvement such as number of 1.0, number of receptors affected, or figures depicting modeling results, please include these metrics as an appendix to the BART analysis. This additional information is optional.> Page 2 of 8
