Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17
Sec. 1.
(a) The
definitions in this section apply throughout this rule.
(b) "
Actual emissions" means the actual rate
of emissions of a
regulated NSR pollutant from an
emissions unit as determined
in accordance with the following:
(1) In
general,
actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate,
in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during a
consecutive twenty-four (24) month period that:
(A) precedes the particular date;
and
(B) is representative of normal
source
operation.
The commissioner shall allow the use of a different time
period upon a determination that it is more representative of normal source
operation. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual
operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or
combusted during the selected time period.
(2) The commissioner may presume that
source-specific allowable emissions for the unit are equivalent to the actual
emissions of the unit.
(3) For any
emissions unit that has not begun normal operations on the particular date,
actual emissions shall equal the potential to emit of the unit on that
date.
(4) The term shall not apply
for calculating a
significant emissions increase under section 2(c) of this
rule or for establishing a PAL under
326 IAC 2-3.4. Instead, subsections (d) and (kk) shall
apply for those purposes.
(c) "
Allowable emissions" means the emissions
rate of a source calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source
unless a source is subject to enforceable permit limits that restrict the
operating rate or hours of
operation, or both, and the most stringent of the
following:
(1) The applicable standards as
set forth in 40 CFR Part
60,
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)*, and 40
CFR Part
61, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPS)*.
(2) The emissions
limitation imposed by any rule in this title, including those with a future
compliance date.
(3) The emissions
rate specified as an enforceable permit condition, including those with a
future compliance date.
(d) "
Baseline actual emissions" means the
rate of emissions, in tons per year, of a
regulated NSR pollutant, as
determined as follows:
(1) For any existing
electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the average rate, in
tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted the pollutant during any
consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the owner or operator
within the five (5) year period immediately preceding when the owner or
operator begins actual
construction of the
project. The commissioner may allow
the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more
representative of normal source
operation. The
baseline actual emissions shall
be determined in accordance with the following:
(A) The average rate shall include fugitive
emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with start-ups,
shutdowns, and malfunctions to the extent they are affected by the
project.
(B) The average rate shall
be adjusted downward to exclude any noncompliant emissions that occurred while
the source was operating above any emission limitation that was legally
enforceable during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period.
(C) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a
project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four
(24) month period may be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for
the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24)
month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.
(D) The average rate shall not be based on
any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequate
information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and
for adjusting this amount if required by clause (B).
(2) For
an existing emissions unit, other
than an
electric utility steam generating unit, the term means the average
rate, in tons per year, at which
the emissions unit actually emitted the
pollutant during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period selected by the
owner or operator within the ten (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 under
326 IAC 2-3,
except that the ten (10) year period shall not include any period earlier than
November 15, 1990. The
baseline actual emissions shall be determined in
accordance with the following:
(A) The average
rate shall include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions
associated with start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions and to the extent they
are affected by the project.
(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 twenty-four (24)
month period.
(C) The average rate
shall be adjusted downward to exclude any emissions that would have exceeded an
emission limitation with which the
major stationary source must currently
comply had the
major stationary source been required to comply with the
limitations during the consecutive twenty-four (24) month period. However, if
an emission limitation is part of a maximum achievable control technology
standard that the U.S. EPA proposed or promulgated under 40 CFR Part
63 *, the
baseline actual emissions need only be adjusted if the state has applied the
emissions reduction to an attainment demonstration or maintenance plan
consistent with the requirements of section 3(b)(12) of this rule.
(D) For a regulated NSR pollutant, when a
project involves multiple emissions units, only one (1) consecutive twenty-four
(24) month period must be used to determine the baseline actual emissions for
the emissions units being changed. A different consecutive twenty-four (24)
month period can be used for each regulated NSR pollutant.
(E) The average rate shall not be based on
any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period for which there is inadequate
information available for determining annual emissions, in tons per year, and
for adjusting this amount if required by clauses (B) and (C).
(3) 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 the unit shall
equal zero (0) and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's
potential to emit.
(4) For a PAL
for a major stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be
calculated for existing electric utility steam generating units in accordance
with the procedures contained in subdivision (1), for other existing emissions
units in accordance with the procedures contained in subdivision (2), and for a
new emissions unit in accordance with the procedures contained in subdivision
(3).
(e) "
Begin actual
construction" means, in general, initiation of physical on-site
construction
activities on an
emissions unit that are of a permanent nature. These
activities include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Installation of building supports and
foundations.
(2) Laying underground
pipework.
(3) Construction of
permanent storage structures.
With respect to a change in method of operations, the term
refers to those on-site activities, other than preparatory activities, that
mark the initiation of the change.
(f) "
Best available control technology" or
"
BACT" means an emissions limitation, including a visible emission standard,
based on the maximum degree of reduction for each
regulated NSR pollutant that
would be emitted from any proposed
major stationary source or
major
modification that the commissioner, on a case-by-case basis, taking into
account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines
is achievable for the source or modification through application of production
processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel
cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of
the pollutant. In no event shall application of
BACT result in emissions of any
pollutant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard
under 40 CFR Part
60* or 40 CFR Part
61*. If the commissioner 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, a design, equipment, work practice, operational
standard, or combination thereof may be prescribed instead to satisfy the
requirement for the application of
BACT. 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 that achieve equivalent results.
(g) "Building, structure, facility, or
installation" means all of the pollutant-emitting activities that belong to the
same industrial grouping, are located on one (1) or more contiguous or adjacent
properties, and are under the control of the same person or persons under

the same industrial grouping if they belong to the same major group, that is,
those that have the same first two (2) digit code, as described in the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, 1972, as amended by the 1977 supplement, U.S.
Government Printing Office*.
(h)
"Clean coal technology" means any technology, including technologies applied at
the precombustion, combustion, or postcombustion stage, at a new or existing
facility that will achieve significant reductions in air emissions of sulfur

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

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.
(k)
"Complete", in reference to an application for a permit, means that the
application contains all of the information necessary for processing the
application. Designating an application complete for purposes of permit
processing does not preclude the commissioner from requesting or accepting
additional information.

operation,
including:
(1) fabrication;
(2) erection;

emissions increase of VOC or nitrogen oxides (unless a
NOX waiver is in effect) from a modification in a
serious or severe ozone nonattainment area, means an increase that does not
exceed twenty-five (25) tons per year when the net emissions increases from the
proposed modification are aggregated on a pollutant specific basis with all
other net emissions increases from the source over a five (5) consecutive

steam generating unit" means any steam electric generating unit that is
constructed for the purpose of supplying more than one-third (1/3) of its
potential electric output capacity and more than twenty-five (25) megawatts
electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Any steam
supplied to a steam distribution system for the purpose of 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 NSR pollutant. For purposes of this rule, there are the
following two (2) types of emissions units:
(1) A new emissions unit is any emissions
unit that is, or will be, newly constructed and that has existed for less than
two (2) years from the date the emissions unit first operated.
(2) An existing emissions unit is any
emissions unit that does not meet the requirements in subdivision (1). A

practice by the class or category of stationary source. This limitation, when
applied to a modification, means the LAER for the new or modified emissions
unit within the stationary source. In no event shall the application of the
LAER allow a proposed new or modified stationary source to emit any pollutant
in excess of the amount allowable under applicable new source standards of
performance.
(y) "
Major
modification" means any physical change in, or change in the method of
operation of, a
major stationary source that would result in a
significant
emissions increase and a significant net emissions increase of a
regulated NSR
pollutant from the
major stationary source or, in an area that is classified as
either a serious or severe ozone nonattainment area, an increase in VOC or
nitrogen oxides (unless a NO
X waiver is in effect)

after it is terminated.
(3) The term shall not apply to a particular
regulated NSR pollutant when the
major stationary source is complying with the
requirements under
326 IAC 2-2.4 for a PAL for that pollutant. Instead, the
definition at
326 IAC 2-2.4-2(g) shall apply.
(z) "

attainment or
reasonable further progress; and
(DD) it has approximately the same
qualitative significance for public health and welfare as that attributed to
the increase from the particular change.
(v) An increase that results from the
physical change at a source occurs when the emissions unit on which

major stationary source:
(A) shall:
(i) consider all relevant information,

unit.
(4) The replaced emissions
unit is permanently removed from the major stationary source, otherwise
permanently disabled, or permanently barred from operation by a permit that is
enforceable as a practical matter. If the replaced emissions unit is brought
back into operation, it shall constitute a new emissions unit.
(oo) "
Secondary
emission" means emissions that would occur as a result of the
construction or
operation of a
major stationary source or
major modification, but do not come
from the
major stationary source or
major modification itself. For the purpose
of this rule, secondary emissions must be specific, well-defined, quantifiable,

stationary source or modification that
causes the secondary emissions. Secondary emissions may include, but are not
limited to, emissions from:
(1) ships or
trains coming to or from the new or modified stationary source; and
(2) an off-site support facility that would
not otherwise be constructed or increase its emissions as a result of the
