Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. For the purpose
				of applying this chapter in the context of the Regulations for the Control and
				Abatement of Air Pollution and related uses, the words or terms shall have the
				meanings given them in subsection C of this section.
B. As used in this chapter, all terms not
				defined herein shall have the meanings given them in 9VAC5 Chapter 10
				(9VAC5-10), Article 6 (9VAC5-80-1100 et
				seq.), Article 8 (9VAC5-80-1700 et seq.) or Article 9
				(9VAC5-80-2000 et seq.) of Part II
				of 9VAC5-80, or commonly ascribed to them by recognized authorities, in that
				order of priority.
C. Terms
				defined.
"Control technology application" means a document that
				  includes such information as may be required by the department to determine the
				  effect of the proposed physical or operational change on the ambient air
				  quality and to determine compliance with the emission standards that are
				  applicable. The information required shall include, but is not limited to, the
				  following:
1. Company name and address
				(or plant name and address if different from the company name), owner's name
				and agent, and telephone number and name of plant site manager or contact or
				both.
2. A description of the
				source's processes and products (by Standard Industrial Classification
				Code).
3. All emissions of
				regulated air pollutants.
a. An application
				shall describe all emissions of regulated air pollutants emitted from any
				emissions unit or group of emissions units to be covered by the control
				technology approval.
b. Emissions
				shall be calculated as required in a manner acceptable to the
				department.
c. Fugitive emissions
				shall be included in the application to the extent quantifiable.
4. Emissions rates in tons per
				year and in such terms as are necessary to establish compliance consistent with
				the applicable standard reference test method.
5. Information needed to determine or
				regulate emissions as follows: fuels, fuel use, raw materials, production
				rates, loading rates, and operating schedules.
6. Identification and description of air
				pollution control equipment and compliance monitoring devices or
				activities.
7. Limitations on
				source operation affecting emissions or any work practice standards, where
				applicable, for all regulated air pollutants at the source.
8. Calculations on which the information in
				subdivisions 3 through 7 of this subsection are based. Any calculations shall
				include sufficient detail to allow assessment of the validity of such
				calculations.
9. Any additional
				information or documentation that the department deems necessary to review and
				analyze the air pollution aspects of the physical or operational change,
				including the submission of measured air quality data at the proposed site
				prior to construction of the physical or operational change. Such measurements
				shall be accomplished using procedures acceptable to the department.
"Department" means the Department of Environmental Quality,
				  an agency of the Commonwealth described in § 10.1-1183 of the Code of
				  Virginia.
"Emissions caps" means the sitewide limitations on the rate
				  of emissions of air pollutants established and identified as emissions caps in
				  9VAC5-230-40 A and B. This
				  limitation on the annual emissions of a pollutant, expressed in tons per year,
				  is derived from emissions factors and quantification methods believed to be
				  accurate at the time of adoption of this chapter. Emissions attributed to the
				  emissions caps shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and
				  emissions resulting from startup, shutdown and malfunction conditions.
"EPA" means the United States Environmental Protection
				  Agency.
"FESOP" means the federally enforceable state operating
				  permit issued under the authority of the Order, which meets the requirements of
				  Article 5 (9VAC5-80-800 et seq.) of Part II of
				  9VAC5 Chapter 80 to International Paper Franklin Paper Mill.
"International Paper" refers to International Paper Company,
				  a New York corporation authorized to conduct business in Virginia and the owner
				  and operator of a plant (the Franklin Paper Mill) located at 34040 Union Camp
				  Drive in Franklin, Virginia.
"Major new source review (major NSR) program" means a
				  program for the preconstruction review and permitting of new major stationary
				  sources or major modifications (physical changes or changes in the method of
				  operation) which are subject to review in accordance with Article 8
				  (9VAC5-80-1700 et seq.) or Article 9
				  (9VAC5-80-2000 et seq.) of Part II
				  of 9VAC5 Chapter 80.
"Minor new source review (minor NSR) program" means a
				  program for the preconstruction review and permitting of new stationary sources
				  or modifications (physical changes or changes in the method of operation) which
				  are subject to review in accordance with Article 6 (9VAC5-80-1100 et seq.) of Part II
				  of 9VAC5 Chapter 80 and which do not qualify as new major stationary sources or
				  major modifications under the major NSR program.
"Order" means the order granting this variance.
"Physical or operational change" means any physical or
				  operational change at the affected facility that involves the addition of a new
				  emissions unit.
"SAPCB Regulations" means 9VAC5 Chapters 10 through
				  80.
"Site" and "Facility" and "Franklin Paper Mill" mean the
				  Kraft paper mill located on the contiguous property at 34040 Union Camp Drive,
				  Franklin, Virginia, under common control by International Paper and its
				  successors in ownership.
"VAC" or "9 VAC" means Title 9 of the Virginia
				  Administrative Code. This title comprises the environmental regulations for the
				  Commonwealth of Virginia, including the regulations of the board.
"Variance" means this chapter.
