These requirements include offsetting the proposed increase in emissions, complying with the lowest achievable emissions rate and conducting an analysis of alternative sites, sizes, production processes and environmental control techniques for the proposed facility. The analysis required under 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(5) (relating to special permit requirements) must demonstrate that the benefits of the proposed facility significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed within this Commonwealth as a result of the location, construction or modification of the project.
