cleanings, dead animals, abandoned automobiles, and all other solid
waste except industrial solid waste.
(65) Municipal solid waste facility--All contiguous
land, structures, other appurtenances, and improvements on the land
used for processing, storing, or disposing of solid waste. A facility
may be publicly or privately owned and may consist of several processing,
storage, or disposal operational units, e.g., one or more landfills,
surface impoundments, or combinations of them.
(66) Municipal solid waste landfill--A discrete area
of land or an excavation that receives household waste and that is
not a land application unit, surface impoundment, injection well,
or waste pile, as those terms are defined under 40 Code of Federal
Regulations §257.2. A municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF)
unit also may receive other types of Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act Subtitle D wastes, such as commercial solid waste, nonhazardous
sludge, conditionally exempt small-quantity generator waste, and industrial
solid waste. Such a landfill may be publicly or privately owned. An
MSWLF unit may be a new MSWLF unit, an existing MSWLF unit, or a lateral

matter, and sulfur dioxide.
(68) Net ground-level concentration--The concentration
of an air contaminant as measured at or beyond the property boundary
minus the representative concentration flowing onto a property as
measured at any point. Where there is no expected influence of the
air contaminant flowing onto a property from other sources, the net
ground level concentration may be determined by a measurement at or
beyond the property boundary.
(69) New source--Any stationary source, the construction
or modification of which was commenced after March 5, 1972.
(70) Nitrogen oxides (NOX )--The
sum of the nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission

(71) Nonattainment area--A defined region within the
state that is designated by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as failing to meet the national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS or standard) for a pollutant for which a standard exists. The
EPA will designate the area as nonattainment under the provisions
of 42 United States Code, §7407(d). For the official list and
boundaries of nonattainment areas, see 40 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 81 and pertinent Federal Register notices.
The designations and classifications for the one-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standard in 40 CFR Part 81 were retained for the
purpose of anti-backsliding and upon determination by the EPA that
any requirement is no longer required for purposes of anti-backsliding,
then that requirement no longer applies.
(72) Non-reportable emissions event--Any emissions
event that in any 24-hour period does not result in an unauthorized
emission from any emissions point equal to or in excess of the reportable
quantity as defined in this section.
(73) Opacity--The degree to which an emission of air
contaminants obstructs the transmission of light expressed as the
percentage of light obstructed as measured by an optical instrument
or trained observer.
(74) Open-top vapor degreasing--A batch solvent cleaning
process that is open to the air and that uses boiling solvent to create
solvent vapor used to clean or dry parts through condensation of the
hot solvent vapors on the parts.
(75) Outdoor burning--Any fire or smoke-producing process
that is not conducted in a combustion unit.
(76) Particulate matter--Any material, except uncombined
water, that exists as a solid or liquid in the atmosphere or in a
gas stream at standard conditions.
(A) Particulate matter with diameters less than 10
micrometers (PM10 )--Particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal ten micrometers
as measured by a reference method based on 40 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 50, Appendix J, and designated in accordance with 40 CFR
Part 53, or by an equivalent method designated with that Part 53.
(B) Particulate matter with diameters less than 2.5
micrometers (PM2.5 )--Particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers
as measured by a reference method based on 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix
L, and designated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 53, or by an equivalent
method designated with that Part 53.
(77) Particulate matter emissions--All finely-divided
solid or liquid material, other than uncombined water, emitted to
the ambient air as measured by United States Environmental Protection
Agency Reference Method 5, as specified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 60, Appendix A, modified to include particulate caught
by an impinger train; by an equivalent or alternative method, as specified
at 40 CFR Part 51; or by a test method specified in an approved state
implementation plan.
(A) Direct PM emissions--Solid particles emitted directly
from an air emissions source or activity, or gaseous emissions or
liquid droplets from an air emissions source or activity which condense
to form particulate matter at ambient temperatures. Direct 2.5 micrometers
(PM2.5 ) emissions include elemental carbon,
directly emitted organic carbon, directly emitted sulfate, directly
emitted nitrate, and other inorganic particles (including but not
limited to crustal materials, metals, and sea salt).
(B) Secondary PM emissions--Those air pollutants other
than PM2.5 direct emissions that contribute
to the formation of PM2.5 . PM2.5 precursors include sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX ),
volatile organic compounds, and ammonia.
(78) Petroleum refinery--Any facility engaged in producing
gasoline, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, lubricants,
or other products through distillation of crude oil, or through the
redistillation, cracking, extraction, reforming, or other processing
of unfinished petroleum derivatives.
(79) PM2.5 emissions--Finely-divided
solid or liquid material with an aerodynamic diameter less than or
equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers emitted to the ambient air as measured
by an applicable reference method, or an equivalent or alternative
method specified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 51, or by
a test method approved under a state implementation plan or under
a United States Environmental Protection Agency delegation or approval.
(80) PM10 emissions--Finely-divided
solid or liquid material with an aerodynamic diameter less than or
equal to a nominal ten micrometers emitted to the ambient air as measured
by an applicable reference method, or an equivalent or alternative

a test method specified in an approved state implementation plan.
(81) Polychlorinated biphenyl compound--A compound
subject to 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 761.
(82) Process or processes--Any action, operation, or
treatment embracing chemical, commercial, industrial, or manufacturing
factors such as combustion units, kilns, stills, dryers, roasters,
and equipment used in connection therewith, and all other methods
or forms of manufacturing or processing that may emit smoke, particulate
matter, gaseous matter, or visible emissions.
(83) Process weight per hour--"Process weight" is the
total weight of all materials introduced or recirculated into any
specific process that may cause any discharge of air contaminants
into the atmosphere. Solid fuels charged into the process will be
considered as part of the process weight, but liquid and gaseous fuels
and combustion air will not. The "process weight per hour" will be
derived by dividing the total process weight by the number of hours
in one complete operation from the beginning of any given process
to the completion thereof, excluding any time during that the equipment
used to conduct the process is idle. For continuous operation, the
"process weight per hour" will be derived by dividing the total process
weight for a 24-hour period by 24.
(84) Property--All land under common control or ownership
coupled with all improvements on such land, and all fixed or movable
objects on such land, or any vessel on the waters of this state.
