Except as provided in Section VI.A.4.b., the owner or operator of a bakery operation must vent bakery oven emissions to an emission control device with a VOC destruction efficiency of at least 95%.VI.A.4.b. Bakery operations that are not controlling bakery oven emissions as in Section VI.A.4.a. as of May 1, 2023, must install and operate the required emission control device by May 1, 2025.VI.A.4.c.
