Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following definitions apply to this Chapter. Where the
				  same term is defined in this Section and in the definitions Section for an
				  Article of this Chapter, the Article-specific definition shall apply.
1. "Act" means the Clean Air Act of 1963 (
				P.L. 88-206;
				42 U.S.C.
				7401 through
				7671q )
				as amended through December 31, 2011 (and no future editions).
2. "Actual emissions" means the actual rate
				of emissions of a regulated NSR pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined
				in subsections (2)(a) through (e), except that this definition shall not apply
				for calculating whether a significant emissions increase as defined in
				R18-2-401
				has occurred, or for establishing a plantwide applicability limitation as
				defined in
				R18-2-401.
				Instead, the definitions of projected actual emissions and baseline actual
				emissions in
				R18-2-401
				shall apply for those purposes.
a. In
				general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate,
				in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a
				consecutive 24-month period that precedes the particular date and that is
				representative of normal source operation. The Director may allow the use of a
				different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of
				normal source operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the 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
				source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual
				emissions of the unit.
c. For any
				emissions unit that is or will be located at a source with a Class I permit and
				has not begun normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall
				equal the unit's potential to emit on that date.
d. For any emissions unit that is or will be
				located at a source with a Class II permit and has not begun normal operations
				on the particular date, actual emissions shall be based on applicable control
				equipment requirements and projected conditions of operation.
e. This definition shall not apply for
				calculating whether a significant emissions increase has occurred, or for
				establishing a PAL. Instead, the definitions of projected actual emissions and
				baseline actual emissions in
				R18-2-401
				shall apply for those purposes.
