(b) An emission unit or units for which standards have been promulgated under section 112(f) of the clean air act for hazardous air pollutants listed under section 112(b) of the clean air act.
(c) Air contaminants and emission units that are regulated by the following national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants, 40 C.F.R. part 61:
(i) Subpart B, National emission standard for radon emissions from underground uranium mines.
(ii) Subpart C, National emission standards for beryllium.

(d) Emissions of a toxic air contaminant if it is demonstrated, on a case-by-case basis, to the satisfaction of the department, that the proposed new or modified emission unit or units will not cause or contribute to a violation of the provisions of R 336.1901. The demonstration shall include all relevant scientific information such as the following:
(i) All available information on the health effects of the toxic air contaminant.
(ii) The levels at which adverse health or environmental effects have occurred.
(iii) Net air quality benefits that would occur as a result of replacing an existing facility.
(iv) Actual exposure levels and duration of exposure.
(v) The uncertainty in data or analysis.
(vi) Other supporting information requested by the department.
(e) Engines, turbines, boilers, and process heaters burning solely natural gas, diesel fuel (No. 2 fuel oil), or biodiesel, of up to 100 MMBTU per hour, provided that the effective stack is vertical and unobstructed and is at least 1.5 times the building height, and the building setback is at least 100 feet from the property line.
(f) Natural gas fuel burning equipment or natural gas fired equipment that meet all the following:
