"Aerodynamic downwash" means the rapid descent of a plume to ground level with little dilution and dispersion as a result of alteration of background air flow characteristics caused by the presence of buildings or other obstacles in the vicinity of the emission point.

"Air quality simulation model" means a mathematical procedure for predicting the ambient air concentration of pollutants resulting from the dispersive properties of the atmosphere.

"Ambient air quality standard" means a limit on the concentration of a contaminant in the general outdoor atmosphere, which cannot be exceeded without causing or tending to cause injury to human health, welfare, animal or plant life, or property, or unreasonably interfering with the enjoyment of life and property, excluding all aspects of employer-employee relationship as to health and safety hazards.

"Carbon dioxide (CO[2])" means a colorless, odorless gas at standard conditions, having a molecular composition of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

"Fuel" means gaseous, liquid, or liquefiable petroleum product (excluding coal) which is produced, manufactured, used or sold for the purpose of creating useful heat.

"Fuel oil" means a liquid or liquefiable petroleum product burned for lighting or for the generation of heat or power and derived directly or indirectly from crude oil.

"Mathematical combination" means the summation of the emissions from two or more stacks or chimneys and the regulation of those emissions as if they came from the same sources venting through a single stack.

"Motor vehicle" means any vehicle propelled otherwise than by muscular power, excepting such vehicles as run only upon rails or tracks.

"Municipal solid waste (MSW)" means residential, commercial, and institutional non-hazardous solid waste.

"Solid fuel" means solid material or any substance derived from solid material used or to be used for the purpose of creating useful heat and includes, but is not limited to, coal, gasified coal, liquified coal, solid solvent-refined coal, municipal solid waste, refuse-derived fuel, and wood.

"SSU viscosity" means the number of seconds it takes 60 cubic centimeters of an oil to flow through the standard orifice of a Saybolt Universal viscometer at 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

"Stack or chimney" means a flue, conduit or opening designed, constructed, and/or utilized for the purpose of emitting air contaminants into the outdoor air.

"Sulfur dioxide (SO[2])" means a colorless gas at standard conditions, having a molecular composition of one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms.

"Viscosity" means the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.

"Zone 1" means Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Ocean Counties.

"Zone 2" means Hunterdon, Sussex, and Warren Counties.

"Zone 3" means Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer Counties except those municipalities included in Zone 6.
