65-3002.Definitions.As used in this act, unless the context clearly requires otherwise:
(a) "Air contaminant" means dust, fumes, smoke, other particulatematter, vapor, gas, odorous substances, or any combination thereof, but notincluding water vapor or steam condensate.
(b) "Air contamination" means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere ofone or more air contaminants.
(c) "Air pollution" means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of oneor more air contaminants in such quantities and duration as is, or tendssignificantly to be, injurious to human health or welfare, animal or plantlife, or property, or would unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment oflife or property, or would contribute to the formation of regional haze.
(d) "Alter" means any physical change in, or change in the method ofoperation of, an air contaminant emission stationary source which increases theamount of any regulated air pollutant emitted by such source or which resultsin the emission of any regulated air pollutant not previously emitted.
(e) "Emission" means a release into the outdoor atmosphere of aircontaminants.
(f) "Deciview" means an atmospheric haze index that expresses changes invisibility conditions as defined in 40 C.F.R. 51.301 as in effect on July 1,2005.
(g) "Facility" means any building, structure, machine,equipment, deviceor installation (or group of buildings, structures, machines, equipment,devices or installations), whether temporary or permanent, located on one ormore contiguous or adjacent properties and under common control of the sameperson (or persons under common control).Such term shall not include locomotives, diesel trucks or truck tractorsunless otherwise required by the federal clean air act, as amended in November1990.
(h) "Modify" or "modification," when used in conjunctionwith an approvalor permit action, means an amendment to an existing approval or permitinitiated by the permittee. When used to describe a change in any aircontaminant emission stationary source, "modify" shall have the same meaning asthe term "alter."
(i) "Permittee" means the holder of an approval or theholder of a permitand includes both the owner and the operator of any approved or permitted aircontaminant emission source.
(j) "Person" means any individual, partnership, firm,association,municipality, public or private corporation, subdivision or agency of thestate or federal government, trust, estate or any other legal entity.
(k) "Regional haze" means visibility impairment, measured in deciviews,occurring over a large geographic area caused by the cumulative emissions ofgaseous and particulate air contaminants from numerous sources.
(l) "Reopen" means to seek an amendment to an existingapproval or permitinitiated by any person other than the permittee.
(m) "Secretary" means the secretary of health andenvironment.
(n) "Stationary source" means any building, structure,facility orinstallation which emits or may emit any air contaminant.
