(4) Building, structure, facility, or installation - All of the pollutant-emitting activities which belong to the same industrial grouping, are located in one or more contiguous or adjacent properties, and are under the control of the same person (or persons under common control) except the activities of any vessel. Pollutant-emitting activities shall be considered as part of the same industrial grouping if they belong to the same "major group" (i.e., which have the same two-digit code) as described in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1972, as amended by the 1977 supplement.
(9) Lowest achievable emission rate - For any emitting facility, that rate of emissions of a contaminant which does not exceed the amount allowable under applicable New Source Performance Standards promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Clean Air Act, § 111, and which reflects the following:
(10) Major facility/stationary source - Any facility/stationary source which emits, or has the potential to emit, the amount specified in the MAJOR SOURCE column of Table I of this section or more of any air contaminant (including volatile organic compounds) for which a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) has been issued. Any physical change that would occur at a stationary source not qualifying as a major stationary source in Table I of this section, if the change would constitute a major stationary source by itself. A major stationary source that is major for volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides shall be considered major for ozone. The fugitive emissions of a stationary source shall not be included in determining for any of the purposes of this definition whether it is a major stationary source, unless the source belongs to one of the categories of stationary sources listed in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 51.165(a)(1)(iv)(C).
2 The major modification threshold is applicable only to existing major sources and shall be evaluated after netting, unless the applicant chooses to apply nonattainment new source review (NNSR) directly to the project. The appropriate netting triggers for existing major sources of NOx and VOC are specified in § 116.150 of this title (relating to New Major Source or Major Modification in Ozone Nonattainment Area) and for other pollutants are equal to the major modification level listed in Table I.
3 VOC and NOx are precursors to ozone formation and should be quantified individually to determine whether a source is subject to NNSR under §116.150 of this title. For those counties which are designated nonattainment for ozone, but have been granted a permanent exemption for NOx under the FCAA, § 182(f), as specified in § 116.150(b) of this title, the NNSR rules apply to sources of VOC, but not to sources of NOx.
(15) Potential to emit - The maximum capacity of a facility/stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or enforceable operational limitation on the capacity of the facility/stationary source to emit a pollutant, 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 its design only if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is federally enforceable. Secondary emissions, as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 51.165(a)(1)(viii), do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source.
(17) Secondary emissions - Emissions which would occur as a result of the construction or operation of a major stationary source or major modification, but do not come from the source or modification itself. Secondary emissions must be specific, well-defined, quantifiable, and impact the same general area as the stationary source or modification which causes the secondary emissions. Secondary emissions include emissions from any off-site support facility which would not be constructed or increase its 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 which come directly from a mobile source such as emissions from the tail pipe of a motor vehicle, from a train, or from a vessel.
(18) Stationary source - Any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any air pollutant subject to regulation under the Federal Clean Air Act.
