    (b) The facility-wide emission limitations in subdivision (a) of this section represent the allowable mercury emissions for each MRP facility for the control periods in 2010 through 2014.
    (1) The sum of mass mercury emissions (in lb) from each applicable existing MRP unit at a MRP facility identified in Table 1 below shall not exceed the facility-wide mercury emission limitation (in lb/year) set forth in Table 1 beginning in the MRP control period of 2010 and continuing through 2014.
    (2) Compliance with the facility-wide mercury emission cap for each MRP control period will be based upon a 12-month total, rolled monthly, reported quarterly.
    (c) Forty pounds of mercury emissions are set aside for new MRP units and existing MRP units not in Table 1 of this section.
