Sec. 971.423  Best available technology.



    The Administrator will require in all activities under new permits, 

and wherever practicable in activities under existing permits, the use 

of the best available technologies for the protection of safety, health, 

and the environment wherever such activities would have a significant 

adverse effect on safety, health, or the environment, (see Sec. Sec. 

971.203(b)(3), 971.602(f), and 971.604(a)), except where the 

Administrator determines that the incremental benefits are clearly 

insufficient to justify the incremental costs of using such 

technologies.
