310 CMR 7.00  Definitions

AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING AND REWORK OPERATIONS means manufacturing, rework, repair or specialized service (such as chemical milling, rather than actual component production or assembly), of an aerospace vehicle or component including, but not limited to, any fabricated part, processed part, assembly of parts, or completed unit of any aircraft including, but not limited to, airplanes, helicopters, missiles, rockets, and space vehicles. In general, aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities are covered by the SIC codes 3720, 3721, 3724, 3728, 3760, 3761, 3764, 3769, 4512, 4581 and 9711. However, facilities classified under other SIC codes may also perform operations that meet the definition of aerospace manufacturing and rework operations.

PAPER, FILM AND FOIL SURFACE COATING means the application of a continuous layer of coating across the width or any portion of the width of a paper, film or foil substrate to: (i) create a functional or protective layer; (ii) saturate a substrate for lamination; or (iii) provide adhesion between two substrates for lamination; for a variety of decorative and functional products including, but not limited to, adhesive tapes, adhesive labels, metal foil, decorated, coated and glazed paper, book covers, office copier paper (zinc oxide coated), carbon paper, typewriter ribbons, and photographic films. Coating performed on or in-line with any offset lithographic, screen, letterpress, flexographic, retrogravure, or digital printing press is part of a printing process and is not part of the paper, film, and foil surface category.

      (j) Emission Control Plan
            1. General Applicability.

Additional requirements may be included in the approval if the Department determines that the emissions from a municipal waste combustor plant's unit(s) alone or cumulatively with other municipal waste combustor plant's unit(s) cause or contribute to a condition of air pollution or a violation of any other regulation.  Such requirements include but are not limited to, emission limits on air contaminants, and additional stack testing or emission monitoring requirements.
            The Department may modify the ECP at any time if the Department determines that a municipal waste combustor plant's unit(s) alone or cumulatively with other municipal waste combustor plant's unit(s) cause or contribute to a condition of air pollution or a violation of any other regulation.  Such modification must comply with the requirements in 310 CMR 7.08(2)(j)7.
            6. Compliance Schedule.  The ECP shall incorporate a compliance schedule that at a minimum contains the requirements in 310 CMR 7.08(2)(k).
