(“installation”) “heater” means a piece of equipment that includes a combustion source and that is used to transfer heat directly or indirectly to material that is being processed; (“four industriel”) “higher heating value” means, when used in reference to the reporting of thermal efficiency, heat input capacity or heat output capacity in respect of the combustion of a fuel in a combustion source, the total amount of heat released during combustion including the latent heat content of the water vapour component of the flue gas; (“pouvoir calorifique supérieur”) “land disposal”, with respect to waste, has the same meaning as in Regulation 347 (General —Waste Management) made under the Act; (“élimination terrestre”) “licensed engineering practitioner” means a person who holds a licence, limited licence or temporary licence under the Professional Engineers Act;

(“modification”) “NAICS” means the North American Industry Classification System maintained for Canada by Statistics Canada, as amended from time to time; (“SCIAN”) “point of noise reception” means a point described in Chapter 3 of the EASR publication at which sound discharged into the air from a source of sound at a facility is received; (“point de réception de bruit”) “point of odour reception” means a point described in Chapter 4 of the EASR publication at which odour discharged into the air from a source of odour at a facility is received; (“point de réception d’odeurs”) “Primary Noise Screening Method” means the method, published by the Ministry as updated from time to time and available on a Government of Ontario website, for determining the minimum separation distance that would result in sound levels less than or equal to the sound level limits set out in Chapter 3 of the EASR publication; (“méthode principale d’évaluation du bruit”) “Registry” means the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry established under Part II.2 of the Act; (“Registre”) “Secondary Noise Screening Method” means the method, published by the Ministry as updated from time to time and available on a Government of Ontario website, for determining the combined sound level at an affected point of noise reception; (“méthode secondaire d’évaluation du bruit”) “site”, with respect to a facility, means the property on which the facility is located; (“site”) “small wood-fired combustor” means a wood-fired combustor that has a nominal load heat input capacity reported on a higher heating value basis of less than three megawatts; (“petit dispositif de combustion au bois”) “thermal treatment” has the same meaning as in Regulation 347; (“traitement thermique”) “wood-fired combustor” means a combustion source designed to burn wood fuel such as hogged wood fuel, wood chips, wood pellets, bark, sawdust, woodwaste, cellulosic plant material, paper or paper sludge.
