Stationary Source: A fixed-site producer of pollution, mainly power plants and other facilities using industrial combustion processes. (see Point Source) ...
Stationary Source - a fixed, non-mobile producer of pollution, usually at industrial or commercial facilities ...
Stationary Source - A place or object from which pollutants are released and which does not move around. Stationary sources include power plants, gas stations, incinerators, houses etc.
Stationary Sources: Non-mobile sources such as power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities which emit air pollutants. (See also mobile sources).
major stationary sources Term used to determine the applicability of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and new source regulations.
Any stationary source built or modified after publication of final or proposed regulations that prescribe a given standard of performance. New Source Performance Standards ...
Any non-stationary source of air pollution such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, airplanes, and locomotives. Source: Terms of the Environment ...
New Source: Any stationary source built or modified after publication of final or proposed regulations that prescribe a given standard of performance.
Offsets A concept whereby emissions from proposed new or modified stationary sources are balanced by reductions from existing sources to stabilize total emissions.
point source A stationary source or fixed facility from which pollutants are discharged. Compare non-point source. pollutant Any substance introduced into the environment that adversely affects the usefulness of a resource.
Discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources such as smokestacks, and other vents, and from surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities and mobile sources, for example, motor vehicles, locomotives and aircrafts.
Emission Cap- A limit designed to prevent projected growth in emissions from existing and future stationary sources from eroding any mandated reductions.
Mobile Source: Any non-stationary source of air pollution such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, airplanes, locomotives.
It is a major component of photochemical smog, a product of combustion from transportation and stationary sources, and a major contributor to the formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere and to acid deposition.
If, under the Clean Air Act, EPA disapproves an area's planning requirements for correcting nonattainment, EPA can ban the construction or nmodification of any major stationary source of the pollutant for which the area is in nonattainment.
It also ensures that the best available control technology is applied to major stationary sources and major modifications for regulated pollutants, and consideration of soils, vegetation and visibility affects in the permitting process.
stationary source A non-moving source of pollution, such as a factory smokestack. stratosphere The layer of air that extends from about 10 to 30 mile above the surface of the earth.
