2. (2) Divisions 200 through 268 apply in addition to all other rules adopted by the EQC. In cases of apparent conflict between rules within these divisions, the most stringent rule applies unless otherwise expressly stated.

3. (3) DEQ administers divisions 200 through 268 in all areas of the State of Oregon except when the EQC has designated LRAPA to administer rules within its area of jurisdiction.

LRAPA may apply any LRAPA rule in lieu of a state rule(s) provided that the LRAPA rule is at least as strict as the state rule(s), LRAPA has submitted the rule to the EQC for its approval, and the EQC has not disapproved the rule.

   NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
