UNNECESSARY ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN.
In addition to the grounds for granting a variance set forth in section

the Pollution Control Agency may grant variances from its rules in order to:
(1) promote reduction in overall levels of pollution beyond what is required by applicable
law, consistent with the purposes of this chapter; or
(2) reduce the administrative burden on the agency or the permittee, provided that alternative
monitoring, testing, notification, record keeping, or reporting requirements will provide the
information needed by the agency to ensure compliance.
