• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 25: Public
• Art.: Air Quality Control

Text

As used in sections 25-7-114 to 25-7-114.7, unless the context otherwise requires:

(1) Affected source means a source that includes one or more fossil-fuel-fired combustion devices subject to emission reduction requirements or limitations
under subchapter IV of the federal act or this article.

(2) Construction permit means the same as an emission permit as
required under this section as it existed prior to July 1, 1992, and is the permit
required under section 25-7-114.2 after July 1, 1992.

(3) Major source means any stationary source (or group of stationary
sources which have the same two-digit standard industrial code, are located on one
or more contiguous or adjacent properties, and are under common control) that:

(a) Subject to the provisions of section 112 (n)(4) of the federal act, emits or
has the potential to emit considering enforceable controls, in the aggregate, ten
tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or twenty-five tons per year or
more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants, or such lesser quantity of
hazardous air pollutants as may be established pursuant to the federal act; or

(b) Directly emits, or has the potential to emit, one hundred tons per year or
more of any air pollutant; or

(c) Meets any of the definitions of major source set forth in Part D of
subchapter I of the federal act.

(4) Potential to emit means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to
emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or
operational limitations on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including
air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type
or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of
its design if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is enforceable
and federally enforceable. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the
potential to emit of a stationary source.

(5) Schedule of compliance means a schedule of required measures,
including an enforceable sequence of actions or operations, leading to compliance
with an applicable implementation plan, emission standard, emission limitation,
emission prohibition, or emission control regulation.

(6) Synthetic minor source means, for purposes of this article, any source
which would otherwise meet the definition of major source for any pollutants but
for the existence of enforceable emission limitations contained in the permit or
regulation applicable to that source.
