Best available control technology definition

Best available control technology or “BACT” means an emissions limitation, including a visible emissions standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated NSR pollutant which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the reviewing authority, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combination techniques for control of such pollutant. In no event shall application of best available control technology result in emissions of any pollutant which would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 567—subrules 23.1(2) through 23.1(5) (standards for new stationary sources, federal standards for hazardous air pollutants, and federal emissions guidelines), or federal regulations as set forth in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61 and 63 but not yet adopted by the state. If the department determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard or combination thereof may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of best available control technology. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice or operation and shall provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.
Best available control technology means best available control technology as defined in section 169 of subpart I of part C of title I of the clean air act, chapter 360, 91 stat. 740, 42 U.S.C. 7479.
Best available control technology or "BACT" means an emissions limitation, including a visible emission standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated NSR pollutant that would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification that the commissioner, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for the source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of the pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Part 60* or 40 CFR Part 61*. If the commissioner determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of BACT. The standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction achievable by implementation of the design, equipment, work practice, or operation and shall provide for compliance by means that achieve equivalent results.

Examples of Best available control technology in a sentence

  • Best available control technology for toxics (tBACT) is defined in WAC 173-460-020 as, “the term defined in WAC 173-400-030, as applied to TAP.” Fiberglass boat manufacturing involves the atomized (small particles of liquid or solid suspended in air as occurs with a spray gun) and non-atomized (as occurs with hand rolling) application of VOC containing compounds which include gelcoats, resins, and small pieces of fiberglass.


More Definitions of Best available control technology

Best available control technology means an emissions limitation (includ- ing a visible emission standard) based on the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant subject to regulation under Act which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the Ad- ministrator, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environ- mental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such source or modification through application of production proc- esses or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel com- bustion techniques for control of such pollutant. In no event shall application of best available control technology re- sult in emissions of any pollutant which would exceed the emissions al- lowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR parts 60 and 61. If the Adminis- trator determines that technological or economic limitations on the applica- tion of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emissions stand- ard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof, may be pre- scribed instead to satisfy the require- ment for the application of best avail- able control technology. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equip- ment, work practice or operation, and shall provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.
Best available control technology or "BACT" means an emission limitation, including, but not limited to, a visible emission standard, based on the maximum degree of reduction of each air contaminant subject to regulation under the FCAA which would be emitted from any proposed major source or major modification which, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, is achievable for such source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of such air contaminant. In no event may the application of BACT result in emissions of any air contaminant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable new source performance standard or any standard for hazardous air pollutant. If an emission limitation is not feasible, a design, equipment, work practice, or operational standard, or combination thereof, may be required. Such standard must, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable and provide for compliance by prescribing appropriate permit conditions.
Best available control technology or "BACT" means the best control technology that is currently available as determined by the Division Director on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs of alternative control systems.

In no event shall application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutant that would exceed the emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63. If the director determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of an emission standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard, or combination thereof, may be approved by the director instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of BACT. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emission reduction achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice or operation and shall provide for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.
