Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
Terms used but not defined in this division are defined
						in the Federal Clean Air Act and 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 60,
						Subparts A and B.
(1)
					 Administrator--The administrator of the United States Environmental Protection
					 Agency or his/her authorized representative or administrator of a state air
					 pollution control agency.
(2)
					 Agricultural waste--Vegetative agricultural materials such as nut and grain
					 hulls and chaff (e.g., almond, walnut, peanut, rice, and wheat), bagasse,
					 orchard prunings, corn stalks, coffee bean hulls and grounds, and other
					 vegetative waste materials generated as a result of agricultural
					 operations.
(3) Air curtain
					 incinerator--An incinerator that operates by forcefully projecting a curtain of
					 air across an open chamber or pit in which combustion occurs. Incinerators of
					 this type can be constructed above or below ground and with or without
					 refractory walls and floor. (Air curtain incinerators are not to be confused
					 with conventional combustion devices with enclosed fireboxes and controlled air
					 technology such as mass burn, modular, and fluidized bed combustors.)
(4) Auxiliary fuel--Natural gas, liquified
					 petroleum gas, fuel oil, or diesel fuel.
(5) Bag leak detection system--An instrument
					 that is capable of monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a
					 fabric filter (i.e., baghouse) in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak
					 detection system includes, but is not limited to, an instrument that operates
					 on triboelectric, light scattering, light transmittance, or other principle to
					 monitor relative particulate matter loadings.
(6) Calendar quarter--Three consecutive
					 months (nonoverlapping) beginning on: January 1, April 1, July 1, or October
					 1.
(7) Calendar year--365
					 consecutive days starting on January 1 and ending on December 31.
(8) Chemotherapeutic waste--Waste material
					 resulting from the production or use of antineoplastic agents used for the
					 purpose of stopping or reversing the growth of malignant cells.
(9) Clean lumber--Wood or wood products that
					 have been cut or shaped and include wet, air-dried, and kiln-dried wood
					 products. Clean lumber does not include wood products that have been painted,
					 pigment-stained, or pressure-treated by compounds such as chromate copper
					 arsenate, pentachlorophenol, and creosote.
(10) Commercial and industrial solid waste
					 incineration (CISWI) unit--Any combustion device that combusts commercial and
					 industrial waste, as defined in this division. The boundaries of a CISWI unit
					 are defined as, but not limited to, the commercial or industrial solid waste
					 fuel feed system, grate system, flue gas system, and bottom ash. The CISWI unit
					 does not include air pollution control equipment or the stack. The CISWI unit
					 boundary starts at the commercial and industrial solid waste hopper (if
					 applicable) and extends through two areas:
(A) The combustion unit flue gas system,
					 which ends immediately after the last combustion chamber.
(B) The combustion unit bottom ash system,
					 which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment that transfers the
					 ash to final disposal. It includes all ash handling systems connected to the
					 bottom ash handling system.
