285.63(7)(d) (d) Notwithstanding pars. (a) and (b) (intro.), the department may not grant use of the growth accommodation under this subsection for an air pollution control permit application submitted after July 1, 1992, as long as the growth accommodation area is designated under 42 USC 7407 as an ozone nonattainment area.
285.63(8) (8)Forfeiture of growth accommodation credits. Within 4 years after the department certifies, under sub. (7), a growth accommodation credit to an applicant or reserves for the future use of an applicant a growth accommodation credit, and at least every 4 years thereafter, the department shall determine whether the certified or reserved growth accommodation credit is reasonably necessary for the applicant's current use and future plans. If the department determines that any amount of the certified or reserved growth accommodation credit is not reasonably necessary for the applicant's current use and if the applicant cannot demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that any amount of the certified or reserved growth accommodation credit is reasonably necessary for the applicant's future plans, the applicant shall forfeit an amount of the growth accommodation credit, as determined by the department. The department shall deposit the forfeited amount of the growth accommodation credit in the growth accommodation replenishment.
285.63(9) (9)Restriction on emission reduction option programs.

285.63(9)(a)2. 2. The emissions of volatile organic compounds specified in the program are from a recorded source.
285.63(9)(b) (b) In this subsection, "recorded source" means a stationary source in the volatile organic compound accommodation area owned or operated by any person who owns or operates on May 17, 1988, a stationary source whose actual 1980 emissions of volatile organic compounds are recorded as zero in the 1982 plan approved by the U.S. environmental protection agency under 42 USC 7502 (a).
285.63(10) (10)Requirements for medical waste incinerators.
285.63(10)(a)(a) In this subsection, "medical waste incinerator" has the meaning given in s. 287.07 (7) (c) 1. cr.
285.63(10)(b) (b) In addition to the requirements under subs. (1) to (3), the department may approve an application submitted after May 14, 1992, for a permit required or allowed under s. 285.60 for the construction of a medical waste incinerator or for the modification of a medical waste incinerator that expands the capacity of the medical waste incinerator only if it finds that the new or modified medical waste incinerator will be needed and that the site of the medical waste incinerator is appropriate.
285.63(10)(c) (c) The department shall consider all of the following in evaluating the need for the proposed medical waste incinerator:
285.63(10)(c)1. 1. An approximate service area for the proposed medical waste incinerator that encompasses all sources of waste that could potentially be burned in the medical waste incinerator. The department shall delineate the service area based on the economics of waste collection, transportation and treatment.
285.63(10)(c)2. 2. The quantity of waste that could potentially be burned in the proposed medical waste incinerator and that is generated within the anticipated service area.
285.63(10)(c)3. 3. The remaining capacity or design capacity of other solid waste facilities, if those facilities are located within the anticipated service area of the proposed medical waste incinerator and are currently providing or are expected to provide solid waste management for any sources of solid waste that could potentially be burned in the medical waste incinerator.
285.63(10)(c)4. 4. The quantity of waste having the potential to be burned in the medical waste incinerator that may be managed in an effective recycling program created under s. 287.11.
285.63(10)(c)5. 5. The potential for reducing the quantity of waste having the potential to be burned in the medical waste incinerator by reducing the amount of waste that is generated within the anticipated service area and the potential for using alternative technologies for disposing of the waste.
285.63(10)(d) (d) The department may not determine that the site of a proposed medical waste incinerator is appropriate if the medical waste incinerator or the transportation of solid waste to the medical waste incinerator will have an adverse effect that is both substantial and unreasonable on any of the following:
285.63(10)(d)1. 1. Existing recreational land uses.
285.63(10)(d)2. 2. Land or surface water that has any of the characteristics under s. 23.27 (2).

285.66(2)(b)3. 3. The department may specify a term of 5 years or less for coverage under a registration permit or for coverage under a general permit if required by the federal clean air act.
285.66(2)(c) (c) Notwithstanding par. (a), the department may specify a term of longer than 5 years for an operation permit or specify that an operation permit does not expire if all of the following apply:
