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.
