Q)        Primary lead smelters;

 

R)        Fuel conversion plants;

 

S)         Sintering plants;

 

T)         Secondary metal production plants;

 

U)        Chemical process plants (which does not include ethanol production facilities that produce ethanol by natural fermentation included in NAICS Codes 325193 or 312140);

 

V)        Fossil-fuel boilers (or combinations thereof) totaling more than 250 million Btu per hour heat input;

 

W)       Petroleum storage and transfer units with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels;

 

X)        Taconite ore processing plants;

 

Y)        Glass fiber processing plants; and

 

Z)        Charcoal production plants;

 

2)         Notwithstanding the stationary source size specified in subsection (a)(1), any stationary source that emits, or has the potential to emit, 250 tpy or more of a regulated NSR pollutant (except GHGs as defined in Section 204.430); or

 

3)         Any physical change that would occur at a stationary source not otherwise qualifying under this Section as a major stationary source, if the changes would constitute a major stationary source.

 

b)         A major source that is major for VOM or NO_X shall be considered major for ozone.

 

c)         The fugitive emissions of a stationary source shall not be included in determining for any of the purposes of this Part whether it is a major stationary source, unless the source belongs to one of the following categories of stationary sources:

 

1)         Coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers);

 

2)         Kraft pulp mills;

 

3)         Portland cement plants;

 

4)         Primary zinc smelters;

 

5)         Iron and steel mills;

 

6)         Primary aluminum ore reduction plants;

 

7)         Primary copper smelters;

 

8)         Municipal incinerators capable of charging more than 50 tons of refuse per day;

 

9)         Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid plants;

 

10)        Petroleum refineries;

 

11)        Lime plants;

 

12)        Phosphate rock processing plants;

 

13)        Coke oven batteries;

 

14)        Sulfur recovery plants;

 

15)        Carbon black plants (furnace process);

 

16)        Primary lead smelters;
