EFFECT:   Adds the requirement that a generator must be in operation on the effective date of this act in order to qualify for an extended compliance period for permit provisions related to the emissions limit for sulfur established by the Department of Ecology or a local air authority. Clarifies that a generator meeting the requirements specified in the bill is granted an extended compliance period for permit provisions related to the emissions limit for sulfur established by the Department of Ecology or a local air authority, instead of not being bound by these permit provisions. Shortens the time period for an extended compliance period for a generator meeting the requirements in the bill by two years, from 2018 to 2016. Removes the requirement that a generator meeting other listed requirements in the bill be fueled by biogas that contains less than 0.1 percent sulfur by volume, after a start-up period not exceeding one-hundred eighty days.
