VENTURA COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT
Rule 26.1. New Source Review - Definitions
(Adopted 10/22/91, Revised 2/13/96, Revised 1/13/98)
For the purposes of this rule the following definitions shall apply:
A change in ownership, or routine maintenance or repair, shall not be considered a physical change or change
in method of operation.
The potential to emit shall be calculated based on the maximum design capacity or other operating conditions
which reflect the maximum potential emissions, unless specific limiting conditions on the Authority to Construct
and/or Permit to Operate restrict emissions to a lower level. Other operating conditions may include, but are not
limited to, production bottlenecks where other equipment may limit the throughput of an emissions unit.

"Cargo Carriers" includes trains dedicated to a specific source, and marine vessels. The emissions from all marine vessels which load or unload at the source shall be considered as emissions from the stationary source while such vessels are operating in District waters and in California coastal waters adjacent to the District. The emissions from vessels shall include reactive organic compound vapors that are displaced into the atmosphere; fugitive emissions; combustion emissions in District waters; and emissions from the loading and unloading of cargo. The emissions from all trains dedicated to a specified stationary source, while operating in the District, including directly emitted and fugitive emissions, shall be considered as emissions from the stationary source.
"Common operations" includes operations which are related through dependent processes, storage, or transportation of the same or similar products or raw material. The emissions within District boundaries and California coastal waters from cargo carriers associated with the stationary source shall be considered emissions from the stationary source.
"Contiguous Property" means two or more parcels of land with a common boundary or separated solely by a private roadway or other public right-of-way.
"Fugitive emissions" means those emissions which could not reasonably
pass through a stack, chimney, vent or other functionally equivalent opening.
