R 336.2801 Definitions.

Rule 1801. The following definitions apply to terms used in this part. If a term defined in this part is also defined elsewhere in the rules, then the definition contained here applies for this part only. (a) “Actual emissions” means the actual rate of emissions of a regulated new source review pollutant from an emissions unit, as determined under R 336.1101(b), except that this definition shall not apply for calculating whether a significant emissions increase has occurred, or for establishing a plant wide applicability limit under R 336.2823. Instead, the terms “projected actual emissions” and “baseline actual emissions” shall apply for those purposes. (b) “Baseline actual emissions” means the rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a regulated new source review pollutant, as determined by the following: (i) For any existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24-month period selected by the owner or operator within the 5- year period immediately preceding when the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project. The department shall allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. All of the following provisions apply: (A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions. (B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24-month period. (C) For a regulated new source review pollutant, if a project involves multiple emissions units, then only 1 consecutive 24-month period shall be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24-month period may be used for each regulated new source review pollutant. (D) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24-month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by paragraph (i)(B) of this subdivision. (ii) For an existing emissions unit, other than an electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive 24-month period selected by the owner or operator within the 10-year period immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual construction of the project, or the date a complete permit application is received by the department for a permit required by R 336.1201, whichever is earlier, except that the 10-year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990. All of the following provisions apply: (A) The average rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions. (B) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while the source was operating above an emission limitation that was legally enforceable during the consecutive 24-month period. (C) The average rate shall be adjusted downward to exclude emissions that would have exceeded an emission limitation with which the major stationary source must currently comply, had such major stationary source been required to comply with such limitations during the consecutive 24-month period. However, if an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology standard that the United States environmental protection agency proposed or promulgated under 40 C.F.R. part 63, adopted by reference in R 336.1902, then the baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the state has taken credit for such emissions reductions in an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan submitted to the U.S. environmental protection agency. (D) For a regulated new source review pollutant, if a project involves multiple emissions units, then only 1 consecutive 24-month period shall be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive 24-month period may be used for each regulated new source review pollutant. (E) The average rate shall not be based on any consecutive 24-month period for which there is inadequate information for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and for adjusting this amount if required by subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph. (iii) For a new emissions unit, the baseline actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will result from the initial construction and operation of such unit shall equal zero; and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's potential to emit. (iv) For a plant wide applicability limit for a stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units under paragraph (i) of this subdivision, for other existing emissions units under paragraph (ii) of this subdivision, and for a new emissions unit under paragraph (iii) of this subdivision. (c) “Baseline area” means all of the following: (i) Any intrastate area, and every part thereof, designated as attainment or unclassifiable under section 107(d) of the clean air act in which the major source or major modification establishing the minor source baseline date would construct or would have an annual average air quality impact equal to or greater than 1 microgram per cubic meter for sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, or PM-10, or 0.3 microgram per cubic meter for PM 2.5 of the pollutant for which the minor source baseline date is established. (ii) Area redesignations under section 107(d) of the clean air act shall not intersect or be smaller than the area of impact of any major stationary source or major modification which does either of the following: (A) Establishes a minor source baseline date. (B) Is subject to PSD regulations or new source review for major sources in nonattainment areas regulations. (iii) Any baseline area established originally for the total suspended particulates increments shall remain in effect and shall apply for purposes of determining the amount of available PM-10 increments, except that the baseline area shall not remain in effect if the department rescinds the corresponding minor source baseline date under subdivision (bb)(iv) of this rule. (d) “Baseline concentration” means the value derived using the following procedures: (i) The ambient concentration level that exists in the baseline area at the time of the applicable minor source baseline date. A baseline concentration is determined for each pollutant for which a minor source baseline date is established and shall include both of the following: (A) The actual emissions representative of sources in existence on the applicable minor source baseline date. (B) The allowable emissions of major stationary sources that commenced construction before the major source baseline date, but were not in operation by the applicable minor source baseline date. (ii) The following shall not be included in the baseline concentration and shall affect the applicable maximum allowable increase: (A) Actual emissions from any major stationary source on which construction commenced after the major source baseline date. (B) Actual emissions increases and decreases at any stationary source occurring after the minor source baseline date. (e) “Begin actual construction” means, in general, initiation of physical on-site construction activities on an emissions unit which are of a permanent nature. Such activities include, but are not limited to, installation of building supports and foundations, laying of underground pipework, and construction of permanent storage structures. “A change in method of operation” refers to those on-site activities, other than preparatory activities, which mark the initiation of the change. (f) “Best available control technology” or “BACT” means an emissions limitation, including a visible emissions standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated new source review pollutant, which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the department -- on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs -- determines is achievable for such source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combination techniques for control of the pollutant. Application of best available control technology shall not result in emissions of any pollutant which would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 C.F.R. parts 60 and 61, adopted by reference in R 336.1902. If the department determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions standard infeasible, then a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof, may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of best available control technology. The standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction achievable by implementation of the design, equipment, work practice, or operation, and shall provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results. (g) “Building, structure, facility, or installation” means all of the pollutant-emitting activities which belong to the same industrial grouping, are located on 1 or more contiguous or adjacent properties, and are under the control of the same person, or persons under common control, except the activities of any vessel. Pollutant-emitting activities are part of the same industrial grouping if they have the same 2-digit major group code associated with their primary activity. Major group codes and primary activities are described in the standard industrial classification manual, 2017. (h) “Clean coal technology” means any technology, including technologies applied at the pre-combustion, combustion, or post-combustion stage, at a new or existing facility which will achieve significant reductions in air emissions of sulfur dioxide or oxides of nitrogen associated with the utilization of coal in the generation of electricity, or process steam which was not in widespread use as of November 15, 1990. (i) “Clean coal technology demonstration project” means a project using funds appropriated under the heading "Department of Energy -- Clean Coal Technology," up to a total amount of $2,500,000,000 for commercial demonstration of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through appropriations for the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

(ii) Entered into binding agreements or contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss to the owner or operator, to undertake a program of actual construction of the source to be completed within a reasonable time. (l) “Complete” means, in reference to an application for a permit, that the application contains all the information necessary for processing the application. Designating an application complete for purposes of permit processing does not preclude the department from requesting or accepting additional information.

(q) “Electric utility steam generating unit” means any steam electric generating unit that is constructed for supplying more than 1/3 of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 megawatt electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Steam supplied to a steam distribution system for providing steam to a steam-electric generator that would produce electrical energy for sale is also considered in determining the electrical energy output capacity of the affected facility. (r) “Emissions unit” means any part of a stationary source that emits or would have the potential to emit any regulated new source review pollutant and includes an electric utility steam generating unit. Both of the following are types of emissions units: (i) A new emissions unit is any emissions unit that is, or will be, newly constructed and that has existed for less than 2 years from the date the emissions unit first operated. (ii) An existing emissions unit is any emissions unit that does not meet the definition of a new emissions unit. A replacement unit is an existing emissions unit and no creditable emission reductions shall be generated from shutting down the existing emissions unit that is replaced.

(B) If a major stationary source, the pollutant would be emitted in significant amounts, or, if a major modification, there would be a significant net emissions increase of the pollutant. (iv) Any minor source baseline date established originally for the total suspended particulates increments shall remain in effect and shall apply for determining the amount of available PM-10 increments, except that the department may rescind any minor source baseline date where it can be shown, to the satisfaction of the department, that the emissions increase from the major stationary source, or the net emissions increase from the major modification, responsible for triggering that date did not result in a significant amount of PM-10 emissions.
