- 20. Terms defined.

"Actual emissions rate" means the actual rate of emissions of a pollutant

from an emissions unit. In general actual emissions shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which th e unit actually emitted the pollutant during the most recent two

- year period or some other two

- year period which is representative of normal source operation.

If the board determines that no two

- year period is representative of normal source operation, the board shall allow the use of an alternative period of time upon a determination by the board that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and typ es of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.

"Administrator" means the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or an authorized representative.

"Affected facility" means, with reference to a stationary source, any part, equipment, facility, installation, apparatus, process or operation to which an emission standard is applicable or any other facility so designated. The term “affected facility” includes any affected source as defined in 40 CFR 63.2.

"Air pollution" means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one or more substances which are or may be harmful or injurious to human health, welfare or safety; to animal or plant life; or to property; or which unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment by the people of life or property.

STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

REGULATIONS FOR THE CONTROL AND ABATEMENT OF AIR POLLUTION (9VAC5

originally designed and constructed with such merged gas streams;

ethers with no unsaturations;

(3) Cycl ic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated tertiary amines with no unsaturations; and

(4) Sulfur containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations and with sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine.

2. For purposes of determining compliance w ith emissions standards, volatile organic compounds shall be measured by the appropriate reference method in accordance with the provisions of 9VAC5

- 40

- 30 or 9VAC5

- 50

- 30, as applicable. Where such a method also measures compounds with negligible photochemi cal reactivity, these negligibly

- reactive compounds may be excluded as a volatile organic compound if the amount of such compounds is accurately quantified, and such exclusion is approved by the board.

3. As a precondition to excluding these compounds as volatile organic compounds or at any time thereafter, the board may require an owner to provide monitoring or testing methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the board, the amount of negligibly

- reactive compounds in the emissions of th e source.

4. Exclusion of the above compounds in this definition in effect exempts such compounds from the provisions of emission standards for volatile organic compounds. The compounds are exempted on the basis of being so inactive that they

will not contribute significantly to the formation of ozone in the troposphere. However, this exemption does not extend to other properties of the exempted compounds which, at some future date, may require regulation and limitation of their use in accordance

with r equirements of the federal Clean Air Act.

5. The following compound is a VOC for purposes of all recordkeeping, emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory requirements which apply to VOCs and shall be uniquely identified in em ission reports, but is not a VOC for purposes of VOC emission s standards, VOC emission limitations, or VOC content requirements: t

- butyl acetate.
