aClass I units mean small municipal waste combustion units subject to this division that are located at municipal waste combustion plants with an aggregate plan combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.  See §113.2100 of this title for definitions.

bAll emission limits (except for opacity) are measured at 7 percent oxygen.
