(1) Permanent shutdown of one or more
			 existing air contaminant sources or a facility.
(2) Permanent curtailment in production or
			 operating hours at an existing air contaminant source or facility operating in

			 operation of pollution control equipment that reduces emissions below the level
			 required from an existing air contaminant source or facility to less than that
			 required by applicable laws.

(A)
								"Air stripping operation" is a desorption operation
			 employed to transfer one or more volatile components from a liquid mixture into
			 a gas (air) either with or without the application of heat to the liquid.
			 Packed towers, spray towers, and bubble-cap, sieve, or valve-type plate towers
			 are among the process configurations used for contacting the air and a
			 liquid.

			 receive and collect the heavier bottoms fractions of the distillation feed
			 stream that remain in the liquid phase.
(C)
(1)

			 the atmosphere and that is composed of piping, connections, and, if necessary,
			 flow-inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from a piece or pieces of
			 equipment to a control device.

									"Condenser" means
			 a heat-transfer device that reduces a thermodynamic fluid from its vapor phase
			 to its liquid phase.
(3)
									"Connector" means flanged, screwed, welded, or other
			 joined fittings used to connect two pipelines or a pipeline and a piece of
