B. Except as provided in subsections C and D of this section, interpretation of the emission standard in subsection A of this section shall be in accordance with 9VAC5-40-22.

C. The process weight rate entry to be used in Table 4-20 for feed manufacturing process units shall be considered as the production rate.

D. The process weight rate entry to be used in Table 4-20 for feed manufacturing operations involving physically connected dissimilar process operations shall be the sum of the process weight rates of each of the dissimilar process operations. The materials handling equipment shall not be considered as a part of the process operation for determination of process weight rate.

E. The provisions of this section shall not apply to affected facilities identified in subsection A of this section and located in AQCR 7; however, the provisions of 9VAC5-40-270 shall apply to the facilities.
