(1) Any visibility
impairment reasonable attribution study pertaining to class I areas shall be subject
to balanced peer review by a panel including scientists with appropriate expertise
who do not have any substantive involvement with any party, shall be site-specific
with respect to any suspected source of impairment and to any impacted area, shall
be conducted under the oversight of the division, including, but not limited to,
determination of deadlines for such study, and shall utilize study design and data
collection and analytical techniques, including, but not limited to, contemporaneous
ambient air quality, visibility, and meteorological sampling that allows correlation of
the data relevant to any such study. With the exception of emissions from
agricultural, horticultural, or floricultural activities that are exempted under section
25-7-109 (8), relevant data shall include a reasonable assessment of the
contributions of emissions from reasonably identifiable sources, including natural
sources, within the state and region. Any remedy selection must include relevant
economic impact data. In order to minimize delay in the process, the study shall
proceed as expeditiously as sound science will allow. The cost of any such study
shall not be required to be paid by the department of public health and
environment.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section, as amended by House Bill 05-1180, as enacted at the first regular session of the sixty-fifth general assembly,
shall be construed as changing the property tax classification of property owned by
a horticultural or floricultural operation.
