     "Modification" means any physical change, change in the method of operation of, or addition to an existing Part 70 source that would result in a net emissions increase of any regulated pollutant at that source. In this context, a physical change does not include routine maintenance or repair. Also, unless previously limited by a federally enforceable permit condition, the following shall not be considered changes in the method of operation:
      
      1.	An increase in the production rate if such increase does not exceed the operating design capacity or the demonstrated actual maximum capacity of the equipment;

      2.	The change is not a Title I modification.
      
      3.	The change does not violate any applicable requirements nor any existing permit terms or conditions.
      
      4.	The change does not cause a net emissions increase which triggers a significant permit modification.
      
      5.	The change is not subject to any requirements under Title IV (Acid Rain) of the CAA and its implementing regulations.
      
      A non-federal minor permit change requires approval through the District's NSR process and incorporation into the facility operating permit prior to its implementation. 

     "Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) source" includes any equipment, activity, or facility which:

     "Potential to Emit" means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit any air pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a source to emit an air pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on the hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitations are set forth in permit conditions or in rules or regulations that are legally and practically enforceable by the USEPA and citizens or by the District. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source. Secondary emissions are defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(18). The fugitive emissions of a stationary source shall be included in the potential to emit for the stationary source if such source category is specified by the USEPA as qualified to include fugitive emissions, e.g., source categories listed under 40 CFR 70.2 or fugitive HAP emissions from HAP sources.

USEPA will include the plan in the state implementation plan within one year after submittal by the District if finds that the emission reductions are real, quantifiable, surplus and enforceable. The Control Officer may extend that time for good cause.

                  3.	Final Project Agreement. The responsible official shall enter into a Final Project Agreement with the Control Officer and the USEPA which commits the Department of Defense to the emission reductions specified in paragraph (1)(b)(1) "Emission Reductions; Plan Submittal And Requirements," above.

       Department of Defense Facilities  -  Expiration. The provisions of paragraph (1) "Department of Defense Facilities," above, shall expire if any of the following conditions occur: 

             The stationary source becomes subject to permit under this Regulation.

             The stationary source does not achieve the emissions reductions required by this Regulation pursuant to a schedule of milestones included in the Plan approved by the Control Officer pursuant to paragraph (1)(b), above.
                  
             US does not approve the plan for inclusion in the state implementation plan within one year of approval of the plan by the Control Officer. The Control Officer may extend this period for up to one year or until such time as USEPA takes action on the plan, whichever occurs earlier.

       Department of Defense Facilities - Applicable Requirements After Expiration. 
             Stationary Source Designations. Upon expiration of paragraph (1) "Department of Defense Facilities," the stationary source shall include all applicable activities and sources consistent with federal and state law and these Rules and Regulations. If such inclusion subjects the stationary source to the permitting requirements of this Regulation, the responsible official shall apply for and obtain a permit in accordance with this Regulation and applicable federal regulations.
                  
             Achieved Emission Reductions Remain Enforceable. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Regulation, any achieved emission reductions shall remain in place and shall be enforceable. Achieved emission reductions shall be emission reductions required in an approved plan that have been implemented or are being retrofitted at the time of expiration. Failure to maintain any achieved and verified reductions obtained through execution of the plan shall constitute a violation of District Rules and Regulations.
      
       This definition ("Department of Defense Facilities," "Expiration", and "Applicable Requirements After Expiration") shall remain in effect only until January 1, 1998, and as of such date is repealed, unless a later enacted rule, which is adopted before January 1, 1998, deletes or extends such date or unless a plan is filed with the Control Officer by that date and later approved by the Control Officer.

      
           "Building, structure or facility" as referred to in the stationary source definition includes all pollutant emitting activities, including activities located in California coastal waters adjacent to the District boundaries and those areas of Outer Continental Shelf waters for which the District is the corresponding onshore area which:
            
            1.	belong to the same industrial grouping, and
            
            2.	are located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties (except for activities located in California coastal waters or are on the Outer Continental Shelf), and
            
            3.	are under the same or common ownership, operation, or control or which are owned or operated by entities which are under common control.
            
            Pollutant emitting activities shall be considered as part of the same industrial grouping if they are part of a common production process. (Common production process includes industrial processes, manufacturing processes, and any connected processes involving a common raw material.)
      
           "Common operations" include operations which are related through dependent processes, storage or transportation of the same or similar products or raw material. Emissions from all marine vessels, including cargo carriers, servicing or associated with a stationary source shall be considered emissions from the stationary source while operating within:

            1.	the District, including California Coastal Waters adjacent to the District (Figure 1301);
            
            2.	the Outer Continental Shelf for which the District is the corresponding onshore area; and
            
            3.	25 miles of an Outer Continental Shelf source for which the District is the corresponding onshore area.
      
            The emissions from marine vessels, including cargo carriers, shall include reactive organic compound vapors that are displaced into the atmosphere; fugitive emissions; combustion emissions in the waters described above; and emissions from the loading and unloading of cargo. The term "Cargo Carrier" shall not include trains or vehicles.

           "Building Maintenance Equipment" as referred to in the stationary source definition means internal combustion engines used exclusively at a Department of Defense facility for the maintenance of buildings that meet the definition of "nonroad engine," and are exempt from permit under Regulation II.
           
           "Infrastructure Maintenance Equipment" as referred to in the stationary source definition means internal combustion engines used exclusively at a Department of Defense facility to maintain roads and public service utilities that meet the definition of "nonroad engine" and are exempt from permit under Regulation II.
           
           "Installation" as referred to in the stationary source definition includes any operation, article, machine, equipment, contrivance or grouping of equipment belonging to the same two-digit standard industrial classification code, which emits or may emit any regulated pollutant or HAP, and are located on one or more contiguous properties and under common control.
           
           "Internal Combustion Engine" shall mean a reciprocating internal combustion engine.
           
           "Military Tactical Support Equipment" as referred to in the stationary source definition means a portable internal combustion engine that meets the definition of "nonroad engine" that is built to military specifications, owned by the U.S. Department of Defense, and/or the U.S. military services, and is used in combat, combat support, combat service support, tactical or relief operations, or training for such operations. Examples include, but are not limited to, engines associated with portable generators, aircraft start carts, heaters, and lighting carts.
           
           "Nonroad Engines" as used in the definitions of "Building Maintenance Equipment," "Infrastructure Maintenance Equipment" and "Military Tactical Support Equipment," mean any internal combustion engine:
            
            1.	in or on a piece of equipment that is self propelled or serves a dual purpose by both propelling itself and performing another function; or
            
            2.	in or on a piece of equipment that is intended to be propelled while performing its function (such as lawn mowers), or 
            
            3.	that, by itself or in or on a piece of equipment, is portable or transportable, meaning designed to be and capable of being carried or moved from one location to another. Indications of transportability include, but are not limited to, wheels, skids, carrying handles, dolly, trailer, or platform.
      
            An internal combustion engine is not a nonroad engine if:

            1.	the engine is regulated by a federal New Source Performance Standard promulgated under Section 111 of the federal Clean Air Act, or
            
            2.	the engine otherwise included in paragraph 3 above and remains or will remain at a location for more than 12 consecutive months or a shorter period of time for an engine located at a seasonal source. A location is any single site at a building, structure, facility, or installation. Any engine (or engines) that replaces an engine at a location and that is intended to perform the same or similar function as the engine replaced will be included in calculating the consecutive time period. An engine located at a seasonal source is an engine that remains at a seasonal source during the full annual operating period of the seasonal source. A seasonal source is a stationary source that remains in a single location on a permanent basis (that is, at least two years) and that operates at that single location approximately three months (or more) each year. This paragraph does not apply to an engine after the engine is removed from the location.
      
      	As applied to an attainment pollutant, "stationary source" shall be interpreted to mean facility-wide. The term "installation" shall have the same meaning as "building, structure, or facility."

     "Title I (or Major) Modification" means a modification that meets any of the following criteria:

      1.	The potential to emit from any new or modified emissions unit(s) at the major stationary source which are covered by the application(s) for such permit modification(s) plus all other net emissions increases at the source which occurred during the specified contemporaneous evaluation period listed below, are equal to or greater than the limits in Table 1301-A. 

                                       Table 1301-A

      2.	The potential to emit any regulated hazardous air pollutant (HAP) from any new or modified emission unit(s) at the Part 70 source which are covered by the application(s) for such permit modification(s) plus all other net emissions increase at the source which occurred during the specified contemporaneous period would be equal to or greater than the de minimis level for such regulated HAP specified by USEPA rulemaking pursuant to Section 112(g) of the federal CAA.

      3.	For the purpose of defining Title I modification, the specified contemporaneous evaluation period to compute emissions increase shall consist of a period of five (5) consecutive calendar years, ending with the calendar year during which the complete application for such proposed change is submitted to the District. For computing Title I emission decreases, the period shall expand and extend further to the date on which operation begins for the proposed modified emissions unit.

            4.	Title I modifications include all modifications under part 60.

D.	Requirements

      All Part 70 source permits and permit applications for issuance, amendments, modifications and renewals shall be drafted based on the definitions listed in this rule along with the provisions listed in Regulation XIII.

      A person shall operate all equipment and emission units located at a Part 70 source in compliance with all terms, applicable requirements and conditions specified in the Part 70 permit at all times. Any noncompliance with a Part 70 permit term, requirement or condition is a violation of Regulation XIII. Additionally, any noncompliance with a federally enforceable requirement or resultant permit term or condition constitutes a violation of the federal CAA and its implementing regulations. Each day during any portion of which a violation occurs is a separate offense. Any Part 70 permit noncompliance shall be grounds for appropriate enforcement action under the California Health & Safety Code and/or the federal CAA and its implementing regulations.

E.	Compliance Schedule

      Provisions of this rule become effective on the date this rule is approved by the USEPA. All Part 70 sources subject to this rule, except the outer continental shelf (OCS) sources, shall comply with this rule effective that date. All OCS sources shall comply with this rule either on the USEPA's approval date for this rule or on the date USEPA delegates the OCS program to the District, whichever is later.
