Section 3745-18-01 - Definitions and incorporation by reference(A) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (B) of this rule, the definitions in rule 3745-15-01 of the Administrative Code apply to this chapter.(B) The following definitions apply exclusively to this chapter: (1) "By-product coke oven gas" means the gas produced during the production of metallurgical coke in slot-type, by-product coke ovens.(2) "Calendar day" means the period of twenty-four hours from midnight to midnight.(3) "First quarter" means January, February and March.(4) "Fuel burning equipment" or "fossil fuel fired steam generator" means any furnace, boiler, apparatus, stack, and all appurtenances thereto, used in the process of burning fuel for the primary purpose of producing heat or power by indirect heat transfer.(5) "Fossil fuel" means natural gas, coke oven gas, petroleum, coal and any form of solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel derived from such materials.(6) "Fourth quarter" means October, November and December.(7) "Incinerator" means any equipment, machine, device, article, contrivance, structure, or part of a structure used to burn refuse or to process refuse material by burning other than by open burning.(8) "MM Btu" means millions of British thermal units.(9) "Natural gas" means a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon gases found in geologic formations beneath the earth's surface, of which the principal constituent is methane.(10) "Owner or operator" means any person who owns, leases, operates, controls, or supervises a facility, building, structure, or installation which directly or indirectly results or may result in emissions of sulfur dioxide.(11) "OEPA" means the Ohio environmental protection agency.(12) "Primary zinc smelter" means any installation engaged in the production of zinc or zinc oxide from zinc sulfide ore concentrates through the use of pyrometallurgical techniques.(13) "Process" means any source operation including any equipment, devices, or contrivances and all appurtenances thereto, for changing any material whatever or for storage or handling of any material, the use of which may cause the discharge of an air contaminant into the open air, but not including that equipment defined as a fossil fuel fired steam generator.(14) "Process weight" means the total weight of all materials introduced into the source operation including solid fuels, but excluding gaseous fuels and liquid fuels when they are used solely as fuels and excluding air introduced for the purpose of combustion.(15) "Rated capacity" or "rated heat input capacity" means the maximum capacity guaranteed by the equipment manufacturer or the maximum normally achieved during use as determined by the director, whichever is greater.(16) "Run" means the net period of time during which an emission sample is collected. Unless otherwise specified, a run may be either intermittent or continuous within the limits of good engineering practice as determined by the director.(17) "Second quarter" means April, May and June.(18) "Stationary gas turbine" means an engine in which a turbine is driven by expanding hot combustion gases. Such an engine typically consists of an axial-flow air compressor, one or more combustion chambers, and the turbine.(19) "Stationary internal combustion engine" means a stationary engine in which combustion occurs within one or more cylinders, converting heat energy into mechanical energy, which in turn drives an electric generator or other mechanical equipment.(20) "Sulfur recovery plant" means any plant that recovers elemental sulfur from any gas stream.(21) "Sulfuric acid production unit" means any facility producing sulfuric acid by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge.(22) "Third quarter" means July, August and September.(23) "Total rated capacity" means the sum of the rated capacities of all fuel burning equipment connected to a common stack.(C) Referenced materials. This chapter includes references to certain matter or materials. The text of the referenced materials is not included in the rules contained in this chapter. Information on the availability of the referenced materials as well as the date of, or the particular edition or version of the material is included in this rule. For materials subject to change, only the specific versions specified in this rule are referenced. Material is referenced as it exists on the effective date of this rule. Except for subsequent annual publication of existing (unmodified) Code of Federal Regulation compilations, any amendment or revision to a referenced document is not applicable unless and until this rule has been amended to specify the new dates.(1) Availability. The referenced materials are available as follows: Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
