Section Env-A 1401.03 - Definitions For purposes of this part, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) "Accidental release" means an unanticipated emission of an RTAP into the ambient air from a stationary source, process or device, either caused by an unintentional spill or a malfunction as defined in Env-A 104;(b) "Biodiesel" means a diesel fuel substitute that is composed of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids, is derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, and meets the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification D6751;(c) "Biofuel" means bio-oil, bio synthetic gas, or biodiesel, alone or in any combination;(d) "Biomass" means "biomass" as defined in RSA 125-C:2, III-a, reprinted in Appendix B. The term does not include any mixture containing the wood component of construction and demolition debris or any material or mixture containing sewage sludge, industrial sludge, medical waste, hazardous waste, household or municipal waste, animal or human remains, animal or human waste, or radioactive waste;(e) "Bio-oil" means a liquid fuel derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, wood, straw, forestry byproducts, or agricultural byproducts using noncombustion thermal, chemical, or biological processes, including, but not limited to, distillation, gasification, hydrolysis, or pyrolysis, but not including anaerobic digestion, composting, or incineration;(f) "Bio synthetic gas" means a gaseous fuel derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, wood, straw, forestry byproducts, or agricultural byproducts using noncombustion thermal, chemical, or biological processes, including, but not limited to, distillation, gasification, hydrolysis, or pyrolysis, but not including anaerobic digestion, composting, or incineration;(g) "Compliance boundary" means "compliance boundary" as defined in RSA 125-:2 VI, reprinted in Appendix B, which is subject to the alternate compliance boundaries described in Env-A 1404.07;(h) "Inhalable fraction" means those materials that are hazardous when deposited anywhere in the respiratory tract and have an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to 100 micrometers (µm);(i) "Inhalable fraction and vapor" means a material that might be present in both the particulate and vapor phases;(j) "Particulate RTAP" means an RTAP that is a solid at ambient temperature;(k) "Processed landfill gas" means gaseous fuel that does not contain more than 0.5 ppm of total siloxanes;(l) "Pump station" means a facility that is part of a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), that consists of pumps and service equipment designed to pump wastewater from one location to another or from one elevation to another, in order to allow continuous treatment within the POTW;(m) "Respirable fraction" means a material that is hazardous when deposited in the gas-exchange region of the lungs with an aerodynamic diameter less than 4.0 µm;(n) "Thoracic particulate matter" means a material that is hazardous when deposited anywhere within the lung airways and the gas-exchange region and is less than 25 µm in size; and(o) "Uncontrolled emission" means "uncontrolled emission" as defined in RSA 125-:2, XVI, reprinted in Appendix B.N.H.
