Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) For the purpose
				  of this Rule, the following definitions apply:
(1) "Asphalt" means a dark-brown to black
				  cementitious material, solid, semisolid, or liquid in consistency, in which the
				  predominating constituents are bitumens that occur in nature as such or that
				  are obtained as residue in refining petroleum.
(2) "Cutback asphalt" means asphalt cement
				  that has been liquefied by blending with petroleum solvents or diluents. Upon

				  necessity of maintaining an untreated base course prior to placing the asphalt
				  pavement.

				  addition to the proposed alternative operational or equipment controls, to
				  reduce, where technologically and economically feasible, volatile organic
				  compound emissions from other source operations at the facility, further than
				  that required by the rules of this Section, if these sources exist at the
