Rule 118. As used in these rules:
(a) "Reactor" means a vessel which may be jacketed to permit temperature control and
which is designed to contain materials during chemical reaction.
(b) "Reconstruction" means the replacement of components of an existing facility so that
the fixed capital cost of the new components is more than 50% of the fixed capital cost that
would be required to construct a comparable entirely new emission unit and so that it is
technologically and economically feasible to meet the applicable requirement. "Fixed
capital cost," as used in this subdivision, means the capital needed to provide all of the
depreciable components.
(c) "Red coating" means a coating that meets all of the following criteria:
(i) Yellow limit: the hue of hostaperm scarlet.
(ii) Blue limit: the hue of monastral red-violet.
(iii) Lightness limit for metallics: 35% aluminum flake.
(iv) Lightness limit for solids: 50% titanium dioxide white.
(v) Solid reds: hue angle of -11 to 38 degrees and maximum lightness of 23 to 45 units.
(vi) Metallic reds: hue angle of -16 to 35 degrees and maximum lightness of 28 to 45
units. These criteria are based on Cielab color space, 0/45 geometry. For spherical
geometry, specular included, the upper limit is 49 units. The maximum lightness varies as
the hue moves from violet to orange. This is a natural consequence of the strength of the
colorants, and real colors show this effect.
(d) "Reference test method," with respect to source sampling, means a method or set of
procedures, as described in appendix A to these rules, for obtaining source samples.
(e) "Refinery unit" means a set of components and other equipment that are a part of a
basic process operation, such as distillation, hydrotreating, cracking, or reforming of
hydrocarbons.
(f) "Reid vapor pressure" means the absolute vapor pressure of an organic compound at
100 degrees Fahrenheit as measured by the standard test method set forth in ASTM D323,
adopted by reference in R 336.1902, or approved equivalent.
(g) "Repetitive production of a product" means production, for purposes other than
clinical testing of pharmaceuticals, that meets the following criteria:
(i) Batch processes or process equipment producing 10 or more batches of product.
(ii) Continuous processes or process equipment running for a period of more than 10 times
the length of time for the raw materials to become finished product or 24 hours, whichever
is longer.
(h) "Research and development activities" means activities conducted for the primary
purpose of developing new production processes and products, testing more efficient
production processes, or testing methods for preventing or reducing adverse environmental
impacts, if the activities are in compliance with both of the following provisions:
(i) The activities do not include the production of an intermediate or final product for sale
or exchange for commercial profit, except in a de minimis manner.
(ii) The activities are conducted at a research or laboratory facility that is operated under
the close supervision of technically trained personnel.
(i) "Resist coat" means a coating that is applied to a plastic part before metallic plating to
prevent deposits of metal on portions of the plastic part.
(j) "Responsible official" means, for the purposes of signing and certifying the truth,
accuracy, and completeness of permit applications, monitoring and other reports, and
compliance certifications, any of the following:
(i) For a corporation, a president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation
who is in charge of a principal business function or any other person who performs similar
policy or decision-making functions for the corporation. The person identified in this
paragraph may appoint another person as his or her authorized representative under either
of the following circumstances:
(A) The representative is responsible for the overall operation of 1 or more manufacturing,
production, or operating facilities applying for or subject to a permit and either the facilities
employ more than 250 persons or have gross annual sales or expenditures of more than
$25,000,000.00.
(B) The representative has responsibilities for the overall operation of a source and is
approved in advance by the department. A responsible official shall submit a written
request for approval from the department to designate an authorized representative
pursuant to this paragraph. The department shall respond, in writing, within 30 days of
receipt of the request.
(ii) For a partnership or sole proprietorship, a general partner or the proprietor.
(iii) For a county, city, village, township, state, federal, or other public agency, either a
principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For this purpose, a principal
executive officer includes the chief executive officer who has responsibility for the
overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency.
(iv) For affected sources under title IV of the clean air act, the designated representative
as defined in title IV.
(k) "Rotogravure printing" means the application of words, designs, pictures, or surface
coating to a substrate by means of a roll printing technique that involves intaglio or recessed
image areas in the form of cells.
