AMENDATORY SECTIONREGULATION I SECTION 1.07 DEFINITIONS
When used herein:
(a) ACTUAL EMISSIONS means the average rate at which the source actually emitted air contaminants during the 2-year period preceding a specific date, and which is representative of normal source operations. To account for unusual circumstances such as strikes, the Control Officer may approve or require the use of another time period that is more representative of normal operations than is the immediately preceding 2-year period.
(b) AGENCY means the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency.
(c) AIR CONTAMINANT means dust, fumes, mist, smoke, other particulate matter, vapor, gas, odorous substance, or any combination thereof.
(d) AIR POLLUTION means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one or more air contaminants in sufficient quantities and of such characteristics and duration as is, or is likely to be, injurious to human health, plant or animal life, or property, or which unreasonably interferes with enjoyment of life and property. Air pollution shall not include air contaminants emitted in compliance with chapter 17.21 RCW, the Washington Pesticide Application Act, which regulates the application and control of the use of various pesticides.
(e) ALLOWABLE EMISSIONS means the emission rate calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the source (unless the source is subject to a federally enforceable permit that limits the operating rate, or hours of operation, or both) and the most stringent of the following:
(1) Any applicable standard under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63;
(2) Any applicable emission standard under Regulation I, II, or III;
(3) Any applicable State Implementation Plan emission standard, including those with a future compliance date; or

(f) AMBIENT AIR means the portion of the atmosphere, external to buildings, to which the general public has access.
(g) BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY means technology that will result in an emission standard, including a visible emission standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction which the Agency, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts, and other costs, determines is achievable for such source through application of production processes, available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment, clean fuels, or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of each air contaminant. In no event shall application of the best available control technology result in emissions of any air contaminant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63. The Agency may prescribe a design, equipment, work practice, or operational standard, or combination thereof, to meet the requirements of best available control technology. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice, or operation and shall provide for compliance by means that achieve equivalent results.
(h) BOARD means the Board of Directors of the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency.
(i) COMBUSTIBLE REFUSE means solid or liquid combustible waste material.

air contaminant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation
on the capacity of the facility to emit an air contaminant, including control equipment and

on emissions is federally enforceable.
(((ii))) (ll) REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY means the lowest
emission standard that a particular source or source category is capable of meeting by the
application of control technology that is reasonably available considering technological and
economic feasibility. Reasonably available control technology is determined on a case-by-case
basis for an individual source or source category taking into account the impact of the source
upon air quality, the availability of additional controls, the emission reduction to be achieved by
additional controls, the impact of additional controls on air quality, and the capital and operating

references to the provisions of this Regulation that would not be met. Such Order shall become
final unless, no later than 15 days after the date the Order is served, the applicant petitions for a
reconsideration of the Order, with reasons for the reconsideration. The Control Officer shall
consider the petition, and shall within 30 days give written Order of Approval or final
disapproval of the Notice of Construction setting forth the reasons for disapproval.))
