2. "Type A source" means large point sources with actual annual emissions greater than or equal to any of the emissions thresholds listed in subparagraphs (a)2.(i) through (a)2.(vii) below.

(i) = 2,500 TPY Sulfur oxides.

(ii) = 250 TPY VOC.

(iii) = 2,500 TPY NOx.

(iii) = 100 TPY NOx.

(iv) = 1,000 TPY CO. If the source is located in an ozone nonattainment area, then the threshold is = 100 TPY.

(v) = 5 TPY Lead.

(vi) = 100 TPY PM10.

(vii) = 100 TPY PM2.5.

(viii) = 100 TPY NH3.

(b) "Potential to Emit" shall have the same meaning ascribed in Chapters 335-3-14 and 335-3-16 of this Division.

(3) Applicability. This Rule applies to all owners or operators of point sources in the State.
