(a) The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, have the meanings given below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
"Air quality impact analysis" means a procedure, entailing the use of an air quality simulation model, for determining whether air contaminant emissions will result in ambient air concentrations that exceed standards established for the protection of human health and welfare and the environment.
"Air quality simulation model" means a mathematical procedure, taking into account the dispersive capacity of the atmosphere, meteorological data, topography, and other relevant factors, to predict the concentration of an air contaminant in the ambient air. Such procedure may entail use of a mathematical model or a physical model.
"Ash" means the residue remaining after the burning of a material as tested according to ASTM Standard Test Method for Ash from Petroleum Products by ASTM D482-91, incorporated herein by reference. This specification can be obtained from the ASTM, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
"Brake fluid" means oil drained from the braking system of a conveyance.
"Combustion unit" means a unit into which fuel is charged and heated to the point at which oxidation occurs and energy is generated.
"Commercial fuel" means solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel normally produced or manufactured, and sold for the purpose of creating useful heat.
"Crankcase oil" means oil drained from the crankcase of a conveyance.
"Do-it-yourselfer used oil collection center" means any site or facility that accepts and/or aggregates and stores used oil collected only from household do-it-yourselfer used oil generators.
"Energy recovery" means the use of heat from combustion for a useful purpose, such as the heating of air or water for space heating or wash water.
"Facility" means the combination of all structures, buildings, equipment, control apparatus, storage tanks, source operations, and other operations that are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and that are under common control of the same person or persons. Research and development facilities that are located with other facilities shall be considered separate and independent entities for the purposes of complying with the operating permit requirements of P.L. 1954, c.212 (26:2C-1 et seq.) or any codes, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
"Fluid catalytic cracking unit" means a refinery process unit in which petroleum derivatives are continuously charged. The hydrocarbon molecules in the presence of a catalyst suspended in a fluidized bed are fractured into smaller molecules, or react with a contact material suspended in a fluidized bed. This is meant to improve feed stock quality for additional processing, and the catalyst or contact material is continuously regenerated by burning off coke or other deposits.
"Fuel" means combustible material burned in boilers, furnaces, or other machinery to generate heat or other forms of energy. This term includes commercial fuel and non-commercial fuel.
"Fuel oil" means a liquid or liquefiable petroleum product burned for lighting or for the generation of heat or power and derived directly or indirectly from crude oil.
"Household do-it-yourselfer used oil" means oil that is derived from households, such as used oil generated by individuals who generate used oil through the maintenance of their personal motor vehicles.
"Household do-it-yourselfer used oil generator" means an individual who generates household do-it-yourselfer used oil.
"Noncommercial fuel" means solid, liquid or gaseous fuel which is not ordinarily produced, manufactured, or sold for the purpose of creating heat or other forms of energy. This includes fuels which are derived from used oil or other waste materials.
"Number 1 fuel oil" means fuel oil of the grade that is classified as Number 1, according to ASTM Standard Specification for Classification of Fuel Oils by ASTM D396-84. This specification can be obtained from the ASTM, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
"Number 2 fuel oil" means fuel oil of the grade that is classified as Number 2, according to ASTM Standard Specification for Classification of Fuel Oils by ASTM D396-84. This specification can be obtained from the ASTM, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
"Number 6 fuel oil" means fuel oil of the grade that is classified as Number 6, according to ASTM Standard Specification for Classification of Fuel Oils by ASTM D396-84. This specification can be obtained from the ASTM, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
"Off-specification used oil" means used oil which is not on-specification used oil.
"On-specification used oil" means used oil which meets the specifications, established in the solid waste rules at 7:26A-6.2(a)  and any amendments thereto. These specifications are currently as follows:
Constituent/Property
Allowable Level
Arsenic
5 ppmw maximum

"Petroleum refinery" means any facility engaged in producing gasoline, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, lubricants, or other products through distillation of petroleum.
"Processed used oil fuel" means on-specification used oil which has been treated to improve its combustion characteristics and is combusted consistent with an approved Air Pollution Control Permit to Construct and Certificate to Operate or is burned consistent with the provisions of 7:27-20.6(a).
"Power steering fluid" means oil drained from the power steering system of a conveyance.
"Registration" means the registering of a space heater with the Department on forms provided by the Department and containing such information as may be required in accordance with 7:27-20.3(a)2  and 3.
"Risk assessment" means a procedure for characterizing the probability that potential exposure to air contaminants will result in adverse effects on human health or welfare or the environment.
