Section 20-899. DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
-
899.1When used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed:
Asbestos abatement - the removal, encapsulation, enclosure, disposal, or transportation of asbestos or material that contains asbestos.
Asbestos worker - a person who is engaged in asbestos abatement.
Business entity - a partnership, firm, association, corporation, or sole proprietorship that is engaged in asbestos abatement.
Carrier – A distributor who does not take title to or otherwise have ownership of the commercial fuel oil or gasoline, and does not alter either the quality or quantity of the commercial fuel oil or gasoline.
Commercial fuel oil – A fuel oil specifically produced, manufactured for sale, and intended for use in fuel burning equipment. A mixture of commercial fuel oil with noncommercial fuel where greater than fifty percent (50%) of the heat content is derived from the commercial fuel oil portion is considered a commercial fuel oil.
Distributor – A person who transports, stores or causes the transportation or storage of commercial fuel oil or gasoline at any point between a refinery, a blending facility or terminal and a retail outlet, wholesale purchaser-consumer's facility or ultimate consumer. The term includes a refinery, a blending facility, or a terminal.
Emergency renovation operation - a renovation operation that was not planned but results from a sudden, unexpected event that, if not immediately attended to, presents a safety or public health hazard, is necessary to protect equipment from damage, or is necessary to avoid imposing an unreasonable financial burden. This term includes operations necessitated by non-routine failures of equipment.
Encapsulate - the coating, binding, or resurfacing of a wall, ceiling, pipe, or other structure to prevent friable asbestos or material that contains asbestos from becoming airborne.
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter - a filter capable of trapping and retaining at least ninety-nine and ninety-seven hundredths percent (99.97%) of all monodispersed particles three tenths (0.3) micrometers ([mu] m) in diameter or larger.
Negative pressure system - equipment that ensures that the static pressure in an enclosed work area is lower than that of the environment outside the containment barriers.
Noncommercial fuel – A gaseous or liquid fuel generated as a byproduct or waste product that is not specifically produced and manufactured for sale. A mixture of a noncommercial fuel and a commercial fuel oil when at least fifty percent (50%) of the heat content is derived from the noncommercial fuel portion is considered a noncommercial fuel.
Person - an individual or non-business entity, including a District of Columbia government employee.
Retail outlet – An establishment where commercial fuel oil or gasoline is sold or offered for sale to the ultimate consumer for use in a combustion unit or motor vehicle, respectively.
Terminal – A facility that is capable of receiving commercial fuel oil or gasoline in bulk, that is, by pipeline, barge, ship or other transport, and where commercial fuel oil or gasoline is sold or transferred into trucks for transportation to retail outlets, wholesale purchaser-consumer’s facilities, or ultimate consumers. The term includes bulk gasoline terminals and bulk gasoline plants.
Transferee – A person who is the recipient of a sale or transfer. The term includes the following:
(a)Terminal owner or operator;
(b)Carrier;
(c)Distributor;
(d) Retail outlet owner or operator; and
(e)Ultimate consumer.
Transferor – A person who initiates a sale or transfer. The term includes the following:
(a) Refinery owner or operator;
(b) Terminal owner or operator;
(c) Carrier;
(d) Distributor; and
(e) Retail outlet owner or operator.
Ultimate consumer – With respect to a commercial fuel oil transfer or purchase, the last person, facility owner or operator or entity who in good faith receives the commercial fuel oil for the purpose of using it in a combustion unit or for purposes other than resale.

APPENDIX 8-1
EMISSION LIMITS FOR NITROGEN OXIDE
Emission limits for nitrogen oxide in fossil-fuel-fired steam generating units of more than one hundred million (100,000,000) British Thermal Units (BTU.) per hour heat input are as follows:
(a)Two tenths (0.2) lb. per million BTU heat input (0.36 g. per million cal.) maximum two (2) hour average, expressed in NO2, when gaseous fossil fuel is burned:
(b)Three tenths (0.3) lb. per million BTU heat input (0.54 g. per million cal.) maximum two (2) hour average, express as NO2, when liquid fossil fuel is burned;
(c)Seven tenths (0.7) lb. per million BTU heat input (1.26 g.per million cal.) maximum two (2) hour average. expressed NO2, when solid fossil fuel (except lignite) is burned; and
(d)When different fossil fuels are burned simultaneously in any combination the applicable standard shall be determined by proration, according to the following formula:
x(0.2)+y(0.3)+z(0.7)
x+y+z
xis the percent of total heat input derived from gaseous fossil fuel;
yis the percent of total heat input derived from liquid fossil fuel; and
zis the percent of total heat input derived from solid fossil fuel.
