Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) To
					 the extent that they are not inconsistent with the specific definitions in
					 subdivision (b) of this section, the general definitions of Part 200 and Part
					 201 of this Title apply.
(b) For
					 the purpose of this Subpart, the following definitions apply:
(1)
Actual 1990 baseline
					 emissions.
An emissions baseline established from 1990 actual
					 emissions as reported in response to the department's survey of major
					 facilities.
(2)
Forced
					 outage.
An unplanned component failure that requires the source or
					 major electrical inter-tie (345 kV or greater) be removed from service
					 immediately or before the next weekend. Such failures must not include those
					 attributable to improperly designed equipment, lack of preventive maintenance,
					 careless or improper operation, or operator error.
(3)
Large boiler.
A boiler
					 with a maximum heat input capacity greater than 100 million Btu per hour and
					 equal to or less than 250 million Btu per hour.
(4)
Mid-size boiler.
A
					 boiler with a maximum heat input capacity greater than 25 million Btu per hour
					 and equal to or less than 100 million Btu per hour.
(5)
Peaking combustion
					 turbine.
A combustion turbine used intermittently to produce energy
					 during periods of extremely high (
i.e.,
peak) power
					 demand.
(6)
Regenerative
					 combustion turbine.
Any combustion turbine which recovers heat from
					 the turbine exhaust gases to preheat combustion air.
(7)
Shutdown.
The permanent
					 removal from service of an emission source as evidenced by either a permit
					 condition or provision prohibiting the emission source from further operation,
					 the surrender of the emission source's permit, or the complete deletion of
					 mention of the emission source from the permit of the major facility of which
					 it had formerly been a part with no authorization for operation of the emission
					 source appearing in any other permit.
(8)
Small boiler.
A boiler
					 with a maximum heat input capacity equal to or greater than one million Btu per
					 hour and equal to or less than 25 million Btu per hour.
(9)
Small combustion
					 turbine.
A combustion turbine with a maximum heat input capacity less
					 than 10 mmBtu per hour.
(10)
Small stationary internal combustion engine.
A stationary
					 internal combustion engine with a maximum mechanical output rating of less than
					 200 brake horsepower in any severe ozone nonattainment area and less than 400
					 brake horsepower in the remainder of the State.
(11)
System.
As used in the
					 term
system averaging plan
, a combination of operating
					 emission sources that are located within the same ozone nonattainment area. A
					 system may consist of multiple emission sources at multiple facilities having
					 different owners and/or operators.
(12)
Tune-up.
Adjustments
					 made to a combustion installation in accordance with procedures supplied by the
					 manufacturer (or an approved specialist) to optimize the combustion
					 efficiency.
(13)
Weighted
					 average permissible emission rate.
The average emission rate of all
					 operating emission sources in a system averaging plan where the emission rate
					 of the emission sources in operation is equivalent to the emission rate
					 achieved if each emission source operated in compliance with the most stringent
					 permissible emission rate applicable to that emission source.
