Rule 116. As used in these rules:
(a) "Packaging rotogravure printing" means rotogravure printing on a substrate that, in
subsequent operations, is formed into a packaging product or label, or both.
(b) "Paint manufacturing" means the grinding or mixing of a combination of pigments,
resins, and liquids to produce a surface coating as listed in standard industrial classification
code 2851.
(c) "Particulate matter" means any air contaminant existing as a finely divided liquid or
solid, other than uncombined water, as measured by a reference test specified in R
336.2004(5) or by an equivalent or alternative method.
(d) "Perchloroethylene dry cleaning equipment" means equipment utilized in the cleaning
of fabrics for which perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene) is the predominant cleaning
medium.
(e) "Performance test" means the taking of a source sample at a stationary source by
employing department-approved methods to determine either of the following:
(i) Compliance with the department's rules, orders, or emission limitations.
(ii) Compliance with the conditions of a permit to install or renewable operating permit.
(f) "Permit to install" means a permit issued by the department authorizing the
construction, installation, relocation, or alteration of any process, fuel-burning, refuse-
burning, or control equipment in accordance with approved plans and specifications.
(g) "Permit to operate" means a permit issued by the department authorizing the use of
any process, fuel-burning, refuse-burning, or control equipment for the period indicated
after it has been demonstrated that it can be operated in compliance with these rules. The
requirement to obtain a permit to operate was removed from these rules effective July 26,
1995. Permits to operate issued before that date remain effective and legally enforceable
unless they are voided pursuant to R 336.1201(6).
(h) "Person" means any of the following:
(i) An individual person.
(ii) Trustee.
(iii) Court-appointed representative.
(iv) Syndicate.
(v) Association.
(vi) Partnership.
(vii) Firm.

(xii) Institution.
(xiii) Agency.
(xiv) Government corporation.
(xv) Municipal corporation.
(xvi) City.
(xvii) County.
(xviii) Municipality.
(xix) District.
(xx) Other political subdivision, department, bureau, agency, or instrumentality of
federal, state, or local government.
(xxi) Other entity recognized by law as the subject of rights and duties.
(i) "Petroleum" means the crude oil removed from the earth and the oils derived from tar
sands, shale, and coal gasification or liquefaction.
(j) "Petroleum refinery" means any facility engaged in producing gasoline, kerosene,
distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, lubricants, or other products through distillation of
petroleum or through redistillation, cracking, or the reforming of unfinished petroleum
derivatives.
(k) "PM-10" means particulate matter that has an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal
to a nominal 10 micrometers, as measured by a reference test specified in 40 CFR part 51,
appendix M, adopted by reference in R 336.1902. PM-10 emissions must include gaseous
emissions from a source or activity that condense to form particulate matter at ambient
temperatures. The condensable particulate matter must be accounted for in applicability
determinations and in establishing emissions limitations for PM-10.
(l) “PM 2.5” means particulate matter that has an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal
to a nominal 2.5 micrometers, as measured by a reference test specified in 40 CFR part 51,
appendix M, adopted by reference in R 336.1902. PM 2.5 emissions must include gaseous
emissions from a source or activity that condense to form particulate matter at ambient
temperatures. The condensable particulate matter must be accounted for in applicability
determinations and in establishing emissions limitations for PM 2.5.
(m) "Potential emissions" means those emissions expected to occur without control
equipment, unless this control equipment is, aside from air pollution control requirements,
vital to production of the normal product of the source or to its normal operation. Annual
potential emissions must be based on the maximum annual-rated capacity of the source,
unless the source is subject to enforceable permit conditions or enforceable orders that limit
the operating rate or the hours of operation, or both. Enforceable agreements or permit
conditions on the type or amount of materials combusted or processed must be used in
determining the potential emission rate of a source.
(n) "Potential to emit" means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit an air
contaminant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limit
on the capacity of the stationary source to emit an air contaminant, including air pollution
control equipment and restrictions on the hours of operation or the type or amount of
material combusted, stored, or processed, must be treated as part of its design only if the
limit, or the effect it would have on emissions, is legally enforceable. Secondary emissions
do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source. For hazardous air
pollutants that have been listed pursuant to section 112(b) of the clean air act, 42 USC
7412, quantifiable fugitive emissions must be included in determining the potential to emit
of any stationary source. For all other air contaminants, quantifiable fugitive emissions
must be included in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source only if the
stationary source belongs to 1 of the following categories:
(i) Coal cleaning plants that have thermal dryers.
(ii) Kraft pulp mills.
(iii) Portland cement plants.
(iv) Primary zinc smelters.
(v) Iron and steel mills.
(vi) Primary aluminum ore reduction plants.
