In addition to the definitions in 20.11.61 NMAC, the definitions in 20.11.1 NMAC,
A.
B.
-
(1) This definition shall not apply for
calculating whether a significant emissions increase has occurred, or for
establishing a PAL under 20.11.61.20 NMAC. Instead, Subsections I and VV of
20.11.61.7 NMAC shall apply for those purposes.
-
(2) In general, actual emissions as of a
particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which the
unit actually emitted the pollutant during a consecutive 24-month period which
precedes the particular date and which is representative of normal source
operation. The department shall allow the use of a different time period upon a
determination that it is more representative of normal source operation. Actual
emissions shall be calculated using the unit's actual operating hours
production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during
the selected time period.
-
(3) The
department may presume that source-specific allowable emissions for the unit
are equivalent to the actual emissions of the unit.
-
(4) For any emissions unit that has not begun
normal operations on the particular date, actual emissions shall equal the
potential to emit of the unit on that date.
C.

-
(1) times of visitor use of the federal class
I area; and
-
(2) the frequency and
timing of natural conditions that reduce visibility. This term does not include
effects on integral vistas as defined in
40
CFR
51.301
E.
F.
-
(1) the
applicable standards as set forth in 40 CFR Parts 60 and 61;
-
(2) the applicable state implementation plan
emissions limitation, including those with a future compliance date
or
-
(3) the emissions rate specified
as a federally enforceable permit condition, including those with a future
compliance date.

H.
I.
-
(1) For any
existing electric utility steam generating unit, baseline actual emissions
means the average rate, in tons per year, at which the unit actually emitted
the pollutant during any consecutive 24-month period selected by the owner or
operator within the five year period immediately preceding when the owner or
operator begins actual construction of the project. The department shall allow
the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more
representative of normal source operation
-
(2) For an
existing emissions unit (other than an electric utility steam generating unit)
baseline actual emissions means the average rate, in tons per year, at which
the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during any consecutive
24-month period selected by the owner or operator within the 10 year period
immediately preceding either the date the owner or operator begins actual
construction of the project, or the date a complete permit application is
received by the department for a permit required either under 20.11.61 NMAC or
under a plan approved by the administrator, whichever is earlier, except that
the 10 year period shall not include any period earlier than November 15, 1990.
-
(3) For a new emissions unit, the baseline
actual emissions for purposes of determining the emissions increase that will
result from the initial construction and operation of such unit shall equal
zero; and thereafter, for all other purposes, shall equal the unit's potential
to emit.
-
(4) For a PAL for a
stationary source, the baseline actual emissions shall be calculated for
existing...
