9 Va. Admin. Code § 5-60-210
"Fugitive emissions" means those emissions that could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney, vent, or other functionally equivalent opening.
"Pesticide" means the same as the definition given in § 3.1-249.27 of the Virginia Pesticide Control Act.
"Potential to emit" means an emission rate based on the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit a toxic pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a toxic pollutant, including air pollution control equipment, and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design only if the limitation or its effect on emissions is state or federally enforceable. Fugitive emissions shall be included in determining a stationary source's potential to emit.
"Significant ambient air concentration" means the concentration of a toxic pollutant in the ambient air that if exceeded may have the potential to injure human health.
"Source category schedule for standards" means the schedule issued pursuant to § 112(e) of the federal Clean Air Act for promulgating MACT standards issued pursuant to § 112(d) of the federal Clean Air Act and published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 6521, February 12, 2002.
"Threshold limit value (TLV®)" means the maximum airborne concentration of a substance to which the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) believes that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effects and which is published in the ACGIH Handbook (see 9VAC5-20-21) . The TLV® is divided into three categories: TLV-Time-Weighted Average® (TLV-TWA®), TLV-Short-Term Exposure Limit® (TLV-STEL®), and TLV-Ceiling® (TLV-C®).
"TLV-TWA®" means the time-weighted average concentration for a normal eight-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect (as defined in the ACGIH Handbook).
"TLV-STEL®" means the concentration to which workers may be exposed continuously for a short period of time without suffering from irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue damage, or narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair self-rescue or materially reduce work efficiency. The TLV-STEL® supplements the TLV-TWA® where there are recognized acute effects from a substance whose toxic effects are primarily of a chronic nature.
"TLV-C®" means the concentration that should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
"Toxic pollutant" means any air pollutant listed in § 112(b) of the federal Clean Air Act, as revised by 40 CFR 63.60, or any other air pollutant that the board determines, through adoption of regulation, to present a significant risk to public health. This term excludes asbestos, fine mineral fibers, radionuclides, and any glycol ether that does not have a TLV®.
