Rule 3745-31-01 | Definitions.

 

[Comment: For dates and availability of non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized organizations and associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see paragraph (AA) of this rule titled "referenced materials."]

Except as otherwise provided in this rule, the definitions in rules 3745-15-01 and 3745-21-01 of the Administrative Code apply to this chapter.

(A)

(1) "Acid rain program" means the program contained within Title IV of the Clean Air Act.

(2) "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined under this paragraph, except that this definition shall not apply for calculating whether a significant emissions increase, as defined in this rule, has occurred, or for establishing a PAL under rule 3745-31-33 of the Administrative Code.

(a) Actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive twenty-four-month period which precedes the particular date and which is representative of normal emissions unit operation. The director shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that the time period is more representative of normal emissions unit operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the emissions unit's actual operating hours, production rates and types of materials processed, stored or combusted during the selected time period.

(b) The director may presume that emissions unit-specific allowable emissions for the emissions unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the emissions unit.

(c) For any emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions equal the potential to emit of the emissions unit on that date.

(3) "Actuals PAL" for a major stationary source means a PAL based on the baseline actual emissions of all emissions units at the source that emit or have the potential to emit the PAL pollutant.

(4) "Adhesive" means any substance that is used to bond one surface to another surface.

(5) "Administrative modification" means a change to a permit to install or a PTIO that does not meet the definition of a modification under this rule.

(6) "Affected sources" has the meaning given to it in the regulations promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.

(7) "Air contaminant" means particulate matter, dust, fumes, gas, mist, radionuclides, smoke, vapor or odorous substances, or any combination thereof.

(8) "Air contaminant source," for the purpose of this chapter, means each separate operation, or activity that results or may result in the emission of any of the following air contaminants:

(a) An air contaminant or precursor of an air contaminant for which a national ambient air quality standard has been adopted under the Clean Air Act.

(b) An air contaminant for which the source is regulated under the Clean Air Act.

(c) A toxic air contaminant as listed in rule 3745-114-01 of the Administrative Code.

(9) "Air contaminant source project" means the installation or modification of one or more air contaminant sources (and any structures associated with such installations or modifications), all of which results from a discrete production goal or objective.

(10) "Allowable emissions" means the emission rate of an air contaminant source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the air contaminant source (unless the air contaminant source is subject to limits that are federally enforceable or legally and practically enforceable by the state that restrict the operating rate or hours of operation, or both), and the most stringent of the following:

(a) The applicable standards as set forth in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61 and 63.

(b) The applicable Ohio state implementation plan emission limitation, including those with a future compliance date.

(c) The emission rate by a permit condition that is federally enforceable or legally and practically enforceable by the state, including those with a future compliance date.

(11) "Applicable laws" means any applicable provisions of Chapters 3704. and 3745. of the Revised Code; rules, regulations, and orders of the Ohio environmental protection agency, the Clean Air Act; and rules and regulations of the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency (including any Ohio rule, law, or provision of the Ohio state implementation plan that has been approved or promulgated by the United States environmental protection agency.).

(12) "Auto body refinishing facility" means a facility engaged primarily in collision repair and refinishing of automobiles and trucks. Automobile paint-only and customizing facilities, which are engaged in repainting used motor vehicles and trucks, but do not perform collision repair work, are also included in this definition. Mobile auto body painting operations, which employ temporary spray booths meeting the design criteria specified by paragraph (A)(4)(g) of rule 3745-31-03 of the Administrative Code, are also included in this definition.

(13) "Available information" means, for purposes of identifying control technology options for a major MACT source, information contained in the following information sources as of the date of the MACT determination by the director:

(a) A relevant proposed regulation, including all supporting documentation.

(b) Background information documents for a draft or proposed regulation.

(c) Data and information available from the "Control Technology Center" developed pursuant to Section 113 of the Clean Air Act.

(d) Data and information contained in the "Aerometric Informational Retrieval System" including information in the MACT database.

(e) Any additional information that can be expeditiously provided by the administrator.

(f) Any additional information provided by the applicant or others, and any additional information considered available by the director.

(B)

(1) "Baseline actual emissions" means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated NSR pollutant, as determined under this rule.

(a) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four-month period selected by the owner or operator within the five-year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins actual construction of the NSR project. The director shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that the time period is more representative of normal source operation.

(i) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(ii) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any non-compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four-month period.

(iii) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a NSR project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive twenty-four-month period shall be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four-month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(iv) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four-month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraph (B)(1)(b) of this rule.

(b) For an existing emissions unit (other than an electric utility steam generating unit), baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four-month period selected by the owner or operator within the ten-year period immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the NSR project, or the date a complete permit application is received by the director for a permit required either under this rule or under a plan approved by the administrator, whichever is earlier, except that the ten-year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990.

(i) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(ii) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any non-compliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four-month period.

(iii) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an emission limitation with which the major stationary source shall currently comply, had such major stationary source been required to comply with such limitations during the consecutive twenty-four-month period. However, if an emission limitation is part of a MACT standard that the administrator proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR Part 63, the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the state has taken credit for such emission reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan consistent with rule 3745-31-22 of the Administrative Code.

(iv) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a NSR project involves multiple emissions units, only one consecutive twenty-four-month period shall be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four-month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.

(v) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive twenty-four-month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraphs (B)(2)(b) and (B)(2)(c) of this rule.

(c) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of such unit shall equal zero if the operation of the new emissions unit has not yet begun, or equal the unit's potential to emit if operation of the new emissions unit has begun.

(d) For a PAL for a major stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, for other existing emissions units in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule, and for a new emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in paragraph (B)(3) of this rule.

(2) "Baseline area" means any intrastate area (and every part thereof) designated as attainment or unclassifiable under Section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act in which the major stationary source or major modification establishing the minor source baseline date would construct or would have an air quality impact for the pollutant for which the baseline date is established, as follows: equal to or greater than one microgram per cubic meter (annual average) for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide or PM10; or equal to or greater than 0.3 microgram per cubic meter for PM2.5.

Any baseline area established originally for the TSP increments shall remain in effect and apply for purposes of determining the amount of available PM10 increments, except that such baseline area shall not remain in effect if the permit authority rescinds the corresponding minor source baseline date in accordance with paragraph (M)(8)(e) of this rule.

Area redesignations under Section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act cannot intersect or be smaller than the area of impact of any major stationary source or major modification that does either of the following:

(a) Establishes a minor source baseline date.

(b) Is subject to 40 CFR 52.21 or under regulations approved pursuant to 40 CFR 51.166, and would be constructed in the same state as the state proposing the redesignation.

(3) "Baseline concentration" means that ambient concentration level that exists in the baseline area at the time of the applicable minor source baseline date. A baseline concentration is determined for each pollutant for which a minor source baseline date is established and include the following:

(a) The actual emissions, as defined in this rule, representative of sources in existence on the applicable minor source baseline date, except as provided in paragraph (B)(3)(c) of this rule.

(b) The allowable emissions of major stationary sources that commenced construction before the major source baseline date, but were not in operation by the applicable minor source baseline date.

(c) The following will not be included in the baseline concentration and will affect the applicable maximum allowable increase:

(i) Actual emissions, as defined in this rule, from any major stationary source on which construction commenced after the major source baseline date.

(ii) Actual emissions increases and decreases, as defined in this rule, at any stationary source occurring after the minor source baseline date.

(4) "Begin actual construction" means, in general, initiation of physical on-site construction activities on an air contaminant source project that are of a permanent nature. Activities that are considered to be included and excluded from this definition are further identified in rule 3745-31-33 of the Administrative Code.

(5) "Best available control technology" or "BACT" means an emission limitation (including a visible emission standard) based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated NSR pollutant which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the director, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such major stationary source or major modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63. If the director determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emission standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof, may be approved by the director instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of BACT. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice or operation and provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.

(6) "Best available technology" or "BAT" means any combination of work practices, raw material specifications, throughput limitations, source design characteristics, an evaluation of the annualized cost per ton of air pollutant removed, and air pollution control devices that have been previously demonstrated to the director of environmental protection to operate satisfactorily in this state or other states with similar air quality on substantially similar air pollution sources.

(C)

(1) "Carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent" or "CO2e" means the mass of GHG emissions adjusted on the global warming potential for each GHG and is calculated using the following method:

(a) Multiply the mass amount of emissions in tons per year (tpy), for each of the six greenhouse gase"s in the pollutant GHGs, by the gas's associated global warming potential published at Table A-1 to subpart A of 40 CFR part 98 - "Global Warming Potentials."

(b) Sum the resultant values from paragraph (C)(2)(b) of this rule for each gas to compute total tpy of CO2e.

(2) "Clean Air Act" means the federal Clean Air Act; 42 USC 7401 to 7671q.

(3) "Clean coal technology" means any technology, including technologies applied at the precombustion, combustion, or postcombustion stage, at a new or existing facility that will achieve significant reductions in air emissions of sulfur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen associated with the utilization of coal in the generation of electricity, or process steam, and that is not in widespread use as of November 15, 1990.

(4) "Clean coal technology demonstration project" means a project using funds appropriated under the heading "Department of Energy-Clean Coal Technology," up to a total amount of two billion five hundred million dollars for commercial demonstration of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through appropriations for the United States environmental protection agency. The federal contribution for a qualifying clean coal technology demonstration project shall be at least twenty per cent of the total cost of the clean coal technology demonstration project.

(5) "Cleaning solution" means liquid solvents or solutions used to remove ink and debris from the operating surfaces of the printing press and its parts.

(6) "Commence" as applied to construction of a major stationary source or major modification means that the owner or operator has all necessary preconstruction approvals or permits and has done either of the following:

(a) Begun, or caused to begin, a continuous program of actual on-site construction or the major stationary source or major modification, to be completed within a reasonable time.

(b) Entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations (which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss to the owner or operator) to undertake a program of actual construction of the major stationary source or major modification to be completed within a reasonable time.

(7) "Commercial bakery" means an establishment that is primarily engaged in manufacturing fresh or frozen bread, bread-type rolls and dry bakery products (e.g. biscuits, crackers, and cookies). This definition does not include establishments that produce bakery products primarily for direct sale on the premises to household consumers.

(8) "Complete," in reference to an application for a permit, means that the application contains all the information necessary for processing the application. Designating an application complete for purposes of permit processing does not preclude the director from requesting or accepting any additional information.

(9) "Construct a major MACT source" means any of the following:

(a) Fabricate, erect, or install at any greenfield site a stationary source or group of stationary sources which is located within a contiguous area and under common control and which emits or has the potential to emit ten tons per year or more of any HAP or twenty-five tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs.

(b) Fabricate, erect, or install, at any developed site a new process or production unit which in and of itself emits or has the potential to emit ten tons per year or more of any HAP or twenty-five tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs, unless the process or production unit satisfies the following criteria:

(i) All HAPs emitted by the process or production unit that would otherwise be controlled under the requirements of rule 3745-31-28 of the Administrative Code will be controlled by emission control equipment which was previously installed at the same site as the process or production unit.

(ii) One of the following determinations has been made:

(a) The director has determined within a period of five years prior to the fabrication, erection, or installation of the process or production unit that the existing control equipment represented the BACT, LAER, BAT, or MACT based on air toxics rules for the category of pollutants which includes those HAPs to be emitted by the process or production unit.

(b) The director determines that the control of HAP emissions provided by the existing equipment will be equivalent to that level of control currently achieved by other well-controlled similar sources (i.e., will be equivalent to the level of control that would be provided by a current BACT, LAER, BAT, or air toxic MACT determination).

(iii) The director determines that the per cent control efficiency for emissions of HAPs from all sources to be controlled by the existing control equipment will be equivalent to the per cent control efficiency provided by the control equipment prior to the inclusion of the new process or production unit.

(iv) The director has provided notice and an opportunity for public comment concerning its determination that criteria in paragraphs (C)(9)(b)(i), (C)(9)(b)(ii), and (C)(9)(b)(iii) of this rule apply and concerning the continued adequacy of any prior LAER, BACT, BAT, or air toxic MACT determination.

(v) If any commenter has asserted that a prior LAER, BACT, BAT, or air toxic MACT determination is no longer adequate, the director has determined that the level of control required by that prior determination remains adequate.

(vi) Any emission limitations, work practice requirements, or other terms and conditions upon which the above determinations by the permitting authority are predicated, will be construed as applicable requirements under Section 504(a) of the Clean Air Act and either have been incorporated into any existing Title V permit for the affected facility or will be incorporated into such permit upon issuance.

(14) "Control technology" means measures, processes, methods, systems, or techniques, to limit the emission of HAPs including, but not limited to, measures that do any of the following:

(a) Reduce the quantity of, or eliminate emissions of, such pollutants through process changes, substitution of materials or other modifications.

(b) Enclose systems or processes to eliminate emissions.

(c) Collect, capture, or treat such pollutants when released from a process, stack, storage or fugitive emissions point.

(2) "High terrain" means any area having an elevation of nine hundred feet or more above the base of the stack of a stationary source.

(I)

(1) "Innovative control technology" means any system of air pollution control that has not been adequately demonstrated in practice, but would have a substantial likelihood of achieving greater continuous emission reduction than any control system in current practice or of achieving at least comparable reductions at lower cost in terms of energy, economics or non air quality environmental impacts.

(2) "Install" or "installation" means to begin actual construction, erect, locate or affix any air contaminant source.

(2) "List of source categories" means the source category list required by Section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act.

(3) "Low terrain" means any area other than high terrain.

(4) "Lowest achievable emission rate" or "LAER," for any emissions unit, means the more stringent rate of emissions based on the following:

(a) The most stringent emission limitation that is contained in the implementation plan of any state for such class or category of emissions unit, unless the owner or operator of the proposed emissions unit demonstrates that such limitations are not achievable.

(b) The most stringent emission limitation that is achieved in practice by such class or category of emissions unit. This limitation, when applied to a major modification, means LAER for the new or modified emissions units within the stationary source. In no event shall the application of this term permit a proposed new or modified emissions unit to emit any air pollutant in excess of the amount allowable under applicable new source standards of performance.

(M)

(1) "MACT determination" means any combination of emission limitations, work practices, raw material specifications, throughput limitations, source design characteristics, and air pollution control devices that achieve the level of HAP control required by paragraph (E) of rule 3745-31-28 of the Administrative Code.

(2) "Major MACT source" means any process or production unit that in and of itself has the potential to emit ten tons per year or more of any single HAP or twenty-five tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs.

(3) "Major modification" means the following:

(a) Any physical change in or change in the method of operation of a major stationary source that would result in any combination of the following:

(i) A significant emissions increase of a regulated NSR pollutant other than the pollutant greenhouse gases.

(ii) A significant net emissions increase of that pollutant from the major stationary source.

[Comment: Except as otherwise provided in rule 3745-31-32 of the Administrative Code, and consistent with the definition of major modification, a NSR project is a major modification for a regulated NSR pollutant if the NSR project causes two types of emissions increases; a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase. The NSR project is not a major modification if the NSR project does not cause a significant emissions increase. If the NSR project causes a significant emissions increase, then the NSR project is a major modification only if the NSR project also results in a significant net emissions increase.]

(b) Any significant emissions increase from any emissions units or net emissions increase at a major stationary source that is considered significant for VOCs or nitrogen oxides shall be considered significant for ozone.

(c) The procedure for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant emissions increase (i.e., the first step of the process) will occur depends upon the type of emissions units being modified, according to paragraphs (M)(3)(c)(i) to (M)(3)(c)(iii) of this rule. The procedure for calculating (before beginning actual construction) whether a significant net emissions increase will occur at the major stationary source (i.e., the second step of the process) is contained in paragraph (N)(2) of this rule. Regardless of any such preconstruction projections, a major modification results if the NSR project causes a significant emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase.

(i) Actual-to-projected-actual applicability test for NSR projects that only involve existing emissions units.

(22) "Portable source" means an air contaminant source that, in the director's judgment, is specifically designed to be transferred to a new site as needs warrant.

(23) "Potential to emit" means the maximum capacity of an emissions unit or stationary source to emit an air pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the emissions unit or stationary source to emit an air pollutant, which includes any federally regulated air pollutant as defined in paragraph (DD) of rule 3745-77-01 of the Administrative Code, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored or processed, shall be treated as part of the emission unit's or stationary source's design if the limitation or the effect the limitation would have on emissions is federally enforceable or legally and practicably enforceable by the state. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source.

(24) "Predictive emissions monitoring system" or "PEMS" means all of the equipment necessary to monitor process and control device operational parameters (for example, control device secondary voltages and electric currents) and other information (for example, gas flow rate, oxygen or carbon dioxide concentrations), and calculate and record the mass emission rate (for example, pounds per hour) on a continuous basis.

(25) "Prevention of significant deterioration increment" or "PSD increment" means an allowable increment specified in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-31-11 of the Administrative Code.

(26) "Prevention of significant deterioration permit" or "PSD permit" means any permit that is issued under a major source preconstruction permit program that has been approved by the administrator and incorporated into the plan to implement the requirements of 40 CFR 51.166, or under the program in 40 CFR 52.21.

(27) "Process or production unit" means any collection of structures or equipment that processes, assembles, applies, or otherwise uses material inputs to produce or store an intermediate or final product. A single facility may contain more than one process or production unit.

[Comment: The definition of a process or production unit can be determined by the intermediate product of a process. For example, at a plant which manufactures fiberglass reinforced plastic boats, the owners wish to add more spray guns to an existing fabrication line to supplement existing spray guns in laminating a particular model of boat hulls. The new spray guns will have a potential to emit greater than ten tons per year of a single HAP. In this example, the fiberglass hull of a boat is an intermediate product in the manufacture of a final product (a boat). The collection of equipment needed to manufacture the intermediate product includes the new spray guns, the existing spray guns, the laminating operation, and other supporting equipment. Because the new spray guns in and of themselves do not produce the intermediate product, the spray guns are not in and of themselves a process or production unit, and therefore are not subject to review under rule 3745-31-28 of the Administrative Code. Other examples of the applicability of this definition are found at 61 Fed. Reg. 68391-68392 (December 27, 1996).]

(28) "Projected actual emissions" means, the maximum annual rate, in tons per year, at which an existing emissions unit is projected to emit a regulated NSR pollutant in any one of the five years (twelve-month period) following the date the emissions unit resumes regular operation after the NSR project, or in any one of the ten years following that date, if the NSR project involves increasing the emissions unit's design capacity or its potential to emit of that regulated NSR pollutant and full utilization of the emissions unit would result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase at the major stationary source.

In determining the projected actual emissions under this rule before beginning actual construction, the owner or operator of the major stationary source shall do the following:

(a) Consider all relevant information, including but not limited to, historical operational data, the company's own representations, the company's expected business activity and the company's highest projections of business activity, the company's filings with the state or federal regulatory authorities, and compliance plans under the approved plan.

(b) Include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.

(c) Exclude, in calculating any increase in emissions that results from the particular NSR project, that portion of the emissions unit's emissions following the NSR project that an existing emissions unit could have accommodated during the consecutive twenty-four-month period used to establish the baseline actual emissions under paragraph (B)(1) of this rule and that are also unrelated to the particular NSR project, including any increased utilization due to product demand growth.

(d) In lieu of using the method set out in paragraphs (P)(28)(a) to (P)(28)(c) of this rule, the owner or operator may elect to use the emissions unit's potential to emit, in tons per year, as defined under paragraph (P)(23) of this rule.

(29) "PTIO" or "permit-to-install and operate" means a permit-to-install and a permit-to-operate applicable to air contaminant sources not located at facilities subject to Chapter 3745-77 of the Administrative Code.

(a) A projected actual emissions increase of at least fifty per cent of the amount that is a "significant emissions increase," as defined in this rule (without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase), for the regulated NSR pollutant.

(b) A projected actual emissions increase that, added to the amount of emissions excluded under paragraph (P)(28)(c) of this rule, sums to at least fifty per cent of the amount that is a "significant emissions increase," as defined in this rule (without reference to the amount that is a significant net emissions increase), for the regulated NSR pollutant. For a project for which a reasonable possibility occurs only within the meaning of paragraph (R)(5) of this rule, and not also within the meaning of paragraph (R)(2)(a) of this rule, then provisions under paragraphs (A)(2) to (A)(5) of rule 3745-31-10 of the Administrative Code do not apply to the project.

(3) "Reconstruct a major MACT source" means the replacement of components at an existing process or production unit that in and of itself emits or has the potential to emit ten tons per year or more of any HAP or twenty-five tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs, whenever the following occur:

Compliance with emissions limitations for PM2.5 and PM10 issued prior to this date shall not be based on condensable particulate matter unless required by the terms and conditions of the permit or the applicable implementation plan. Applicability determinations made prior to this date without accounting for condensable particulate matter shall not be considered in violation of this section unless the applicable implementation plan required condensable particulate matter to be included.

(b) Any pollutant identified under this paragraph as a constituent or precursor to a pollutant for which a national ambient air quality standard has been promulgated. Precursors identified for purposes of new source review are the following:

For the purpose of this rule, secondary emissions shall be specific, well defined, quantifiable, and impact the same general areas as the stationary source or major modification that causes the secondary emissions. Secondary emissions include emissions from any off-site support operation that would not be constructed or increase their emissions except as a result of the construction or operation of the major stationary source or major modification. Secondary emissions do not include any emissions that come directly from a mobile source, such as emissions from the tailpipe of a motor vehicle, from a train or from a vessel.

(3) "Semi-public disposal system" means a disposal system which treats the sanitary sewage discharged from publicly or privately owned buildings or place of assemblage, entertainment, recreation, education, correction, hospitalization, housing or employment, but does not include a disposal system which treats sewage in amounts of more than twenty-five thousand gallons per day; a disposal system for the treatment of sewage that is exempt from the requirements of division (F) of section 6111.04 of the Revised Code; or a disposal system for the treatment of industrial waste.
