§ 8-117. City adoption and enforcement of more stringent Federal and State requirements.

(a) Adoption.

If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the State of Maryland adopts a more stringent standard, limit, or requirement for the emission of air contaminants, a more stringent standard of performance for any facility regulated by this Part II, or a more stringent standard of performance for stationary sources that would apply to a facility than is imposed by this Part II, the facility must meet the more stringent requirement.

(b) Enforcement.

It is expressly the intent of the City in adopting the standards, limits, requirements, and standards of performance referenced in subsection (a) of this section to make those more stringent requirements independently enforceable by the City of Baltimore.
