Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
[Comment: For dates and availability of non-regulatory
				government publications, publications of recognized organizations and
				associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions referenced in
				this rule, see paragraph (JJ) of this rule titled "referenced
				materials."]
(A) Except as otherwise
			 provided in this rule, the definitions in rule
			 3745-15-01 of the
			 Administrative Code  apply to this
			 chapter.
(B) As used in this
			 chapter:
(1) "AAMA" means the American
			 architectural manufacturer association.
(2) "ASTM" means the American society for
			 testing and materials also known as ASTM international.
(3) "Btu" means British thermal
			 unit.
(4) "Btu per
			 hour-foot-degree-Fahrenheit" means British thermal unit per
			 hour-foot-degree-Fahrenheit.
(5)
			 "CTG" means control technique guideline. A CTG is a USEPA guidance document
			 that triggers a responsibility under Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act for
			 states to submit reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules for
			 stationary sources of VOC emissions as part of their state implementation
			 plans. Each CTG contains a presumptive norm for RACT for a specific category,
			 based on USEPA's evaluation of that category. The following rules promulgated
			 by the Ohio EPA cover categories for which USEPA has issued a CTG:
(a) Paragraphs (C) to
			  (R), (T), (U) to (Z), (BB) to (EE),
			  (DDD) and
			 (EEE) of rule
			 3745-21-09
			 of the Administrative Code.
(b)
			 Rules
			 3745-21-13,
			 3745-21-15,
			 3745-21-19,
			 3745-21-20,
			 3745-21-22,
			 3745-21-23,
			 3745-21-24,
			 and
			 3745-21-26
			 to
			 3745-21-29
			 of the Administrative Code.
(6) "DC" means direct current.
(7) "Day" means a period of twenty-four
			 consecutive hours beginning at twelve a.m., or beginning at a time consistent
			 with a facility's operating schedule.
(8) "Exempt solvent" means any of the
			 compounds which are specifically identified as not being volatile organic
			 compounds, as defined in this rule.
(9) "Lb per mmBtu" or "lb/mmBtu" means pound
			 per million British thermal units.
(10) "Incinerator" means a combustion
			 apparatus designed for high temperature operation in which solid, semisolid,
			 liquid, or gaseous combustible wastes are ignited and burned.
(11) "Non-CTG" means all other stationary
			 sources of VOC emissions for which the USEPA has not developed a control
			 technique guideline document.
(12)
			 "Ohio EPA" means Ohio environmental protection agency.
(13) "Organic compound" means any chemical
			 compound containing carbon excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic
			 acid, metallic carbides, metallic carbonates, ammonium carbonate, methane
			 (except methane from landfill gases), and ethane.
(14) "Permit-to-install and operate" or
			 "PTIO" means a permit-to-install and a permit-to-operate applicable to air
			 contaminant sources not located at facilities subject to Chapter 3745-77 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(15)
			 "Potential to emit" means the maximum capacity of a facility or stationary
			 source to emit an organic compound or VOC under  physical and operational design. Any physical
			 or operational limitation on the capacity of the facility or stationary source
			 to emit an organic compound or VOC, 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
			 the design
			 if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is federally
			 enforceable .
(16) "USEPA"
			 means United States environmental protection agency.
(17) "Volatile organic compound" or "VOC"
			 means any organic compound which participates in atmospheric photochemical
			 reactions. (This includes any organic compound other than the compounds listed
			 in the following table and any class of perfluorocarbon compounds that consists
			 of (a) cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated alkanes, (b) cyclic,
			 branched, or linear, completely fluorinated ethers with no unsaturations, (c)
			 cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated tertiary amines with no
			 unsaturations, or (d) sulfur-containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations
			 and with sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine. These compounds have been
			 determined to have negligible photochemical reactivity. For purposes of
			 determining compliance with emission limits, VOC will be measured by the
			 approved test methods. Where such a method also inadvertently measures
			 compounds with negligible photochemical reactivity, an owner or operator may
			 exclude these negligibly reactive compounds when determining compliance with an
			 emission standard.)
