Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. For the purposes
					 of Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.), Article 2
					 (9VAC5-80-310 et seq.) and Article 3
					 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter, insignificant activities shall be those activities listed in
					 9VAC5-80-720. There are three
					 categories of insignificant activities as follows:
1. Insignificant emissions units. This
					 category includes emissions units that are deemed insignificant because they
					 are sufficiently small so as to be considered insignificant for the purpose of
					 identifying the emissions units in permit applications. Emissions units in this
					 category are not required to be included in permit applications submitted
					 pursuant to Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.)
					 or Article 3 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter. Insignificant activities falling into this category are listed in
					 9VAC5-80-720 A.
2. Emissions units with insignificant
					 emissions levels. This category includes emissions units, other than those in
					 subdivision A 1 of this section, that are deemed insignificant because they
					 have emissions levels sufficiently small so as to be considered insignificant
					 for the purpose of quantifying the emissions from the emissions units in a
					 permit application. Emissions units emitting at these insignificant levels are
					 required to be identified by listing them as insignificant emissions units in
					 the permit application submitted pursuant to Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.) or Article 3
					 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter. The list of insignificant emissions units shall also specify the
					 pollutant or pollutants emitted at insignificant emissions levels for each
					 emissions unit on the list. However, information on the amount of emissions
					 from these units is not required to be provided. Insignificant activities in
					 this category are listed in
					 9VAC5-80-720 B.
3. Emissions units of an insignificant size
					 or production rate. This category includes emissions units, other than those in
					 subdivision 1 or 2 of this subsection, that are deemed insignificant because
					 the emissions from these units are considered to be of minimal or no air
					 quality concern for the purpose of quantifying the emissions from the emissions
					 units in a permit application. Emissions units in this category are required to
					 be identified by listing them as insignificant emissions unit in the permit
					 application submitted pursuant to Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.) or Article 3
					 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter. The list of insignificant emissions units shall also specify the size
					 or the production rate for each emissions unit on the list. Insignificant
					 activities in this category are listed in
					 9VAC5-80-720 C.
4. Regardless of the emissions units
					 designated in
					 9VAC5-80-720 A, B, or C, the
					 emissions from any emissions unit should be included in the permit application
					 submitted pursuant to Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.)
					 or Article 3 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter if the omission of those emissions units would interfere with the
					 determination of applicability of Article 1 (9VAC5-80-50 et seq.) or Article 3
					 (9VAC5-80-360 et seq.) of this
					 chapter, the determination of or imposition of any applicable requirement, or
					 the calculation of permit fees.
