| (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
method specified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 51, or by
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.
(85) Reasonable further progress--Annual incremental
reductions in emissions of the applicable air contaminant that are
sufficient to provide for attainment of the applicable national ambient
air quality standard in the designated nonattainment areas by the
date required in the state implementation plan.
(86) Regulated entity--All regulated units, facilities,
equipment, structures, or sources at one street address or location
that are owned or operated by the same person. The term includes any
property under common ownership or control identified in a permit
or used in conjunction with the regulated activity at the same street
address or location. Owners or operators of pipelines, gathering lines,
and flowlines under common ownership or control in a particular county
may be treated as a single regulated entity for purposes of assessment
and regulation of emissions events.
(87) Remote reservoir cold solvent cleaning--Any cold
solvent cleaning operation in which liquid solvent is pumped to a
sink-like work area that drains solvent back into an enclosed container
while parts are being cleaned, allowing no solvent to pool in the
work area.
(88) Reportable emissions event--Any emissions event
that in any 24-hour period, results in an unauthorized emission from
any emissions point equal to or in excess of the reportable quantity
as defined in this section.
(89) Reportable quantity (RQ)--Is as follows:
(A) for individual air contaminant compounds and specifically
listed mixtures by name or Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number,
