Potential emissions definition

Potential emissions means the quantity of a pollutant which would be emitted at the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit the pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation 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 described or contained as a condition in the federally enforceable permit. Secondary emissions do not count in determining potential emissions of a stationary source. Fugitive emissions count, to the extent quantifiable, in determining the potential emissions only in these cases:
Potential emissions means the rate of emissions of any air pollutant that would occur at the facility’s maximum capacity to emit any air pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a facility to emit an air pollutant shall be treated as a part of its design if the limitation is federally enforceable. Such physical or operational limitations shall include the air pollution control equipment, restriction on hours of operation or the type or amount of material combusted, stored or processed. Potential emissions shall include fugitive emissions as specified in the definition of major source in 40 CFR 70.2. Potential emissions shall not include a facility’s secondary emissions such as those from motor vehicles associated with the facility and shall not include emissions from insignificant activities because of category as defined in MCAPCO Regulation 1.5503 - “Definitions”. If MCAPCO Regulation 1.5211 - “Applicability” or a Rule or Regulation in 40 CFR Part 63 uses a different methodology to calculate potential emissions, that methodology shall be used for sources and pollutants regulated pursuant to that Regulation.
Potential emissions means a facility's potential emissions as defined in 326 IAC 1-2-55 for the baseline year.

Examples of Potential emissions in a sentence

  • Potential emissions of particulate matter, from these sources based on TSP, are less than 25 tons per year per process line or unit in each group.

  • E.1.B. Fugitive and Potential emissions Give summary details of fugitive and potential emissions in Table E.1(v).

  • Potential emissions for the project must include all vessel emissions associated with the proposed project in accordance with the definition of potential emissions in § 55.2 of this part.

  • Potential emissions from the facility would be relatively small by industrial standards.

  • Potential emissions increased slightly; however, continued to remain below significance levels with respect to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review.


More Definitions of Potential emissions

Potential emissions means the rate of emissions of any air pollutant that would occur at the facility's maximum capacity to emit any air pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a facility to emit an air pollutant shall be treated as a part of its design if the limitation is federally enforceable. Such physical or operational limitations include air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed. Potential emissions include fugitive emissions as specified in the definition of major source in
Potential emissions means the quantity of NOx that would be emitted at the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit NOx under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit NOx shall be treated as a part of its design if the limitation is federally enforceable. Such physical or operational limitations include air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed.
Potential emissions or “potential to emit” means the maximum capacity of a stationary source, including all physical and operational limitations, to emit any air pollutant, including fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable, provided that:
Potential emissions means the maximum capacity of a source to emit air contaminants, including fugitive emissions, under the physical and operational design of the source. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity to emit air contaminants, including air pollution control equipment and techniques and permit conditions limiting the operating rate, hours of operation, or fuels or raw materials used, shall be treated as part of the design of the source to the extent such limitation, or its effect on emissions, is federally enforceable under the provisions of the Clean Air Act.
Potential emissions means the rate of emissions of any air pollutant that would occur at the
Potential emissions means fugitive particulate matter emissions calculated after the application of air pollution control measures or air pollution control equipment.
Potential emissions means the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit, 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 legally enforceable. Secondary emissions do not count in determining the potential to emit of a stationary source.‌
