under the Clean Air Act, the rate of emissions that reflects (a) the most stringent emissions limitation in the state implementation plan identified for a source unless the owner or operator demonstrates such limitations are not achievable or (b) the most stringent emissions limitation achieved in practice, whichever is more stringent
Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate is the degree of control required pursuant to § 173 of the Clean Air Act on new major sources and major modifications in nonattainment areas; the technology must be in use or most stringent in any SIP (does not take into account cost). LAER is the most stringent emission limitation among control technologies.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. The air emission rate that is the lowest possible for a type of facility for a specific pollutant; required of air pollution sources in air quality nonattainment areas.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. That emission rate, required for air pollution sources in air quality nonattainment areas, which is the lowest possible for the type of facility for the specified pollutant.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. The rate of emissions which reflects the most stringent emission limitation which is contained in the NY SIP or, the most stringent emission limitation achieved in practice, whichever is more stringent. CAA § 171(3).
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. A requirement applying to proposed new or modified major stationary sources of pollution in nonattainment areas. LAER means the "rate of emissions that reflect the most stringent emission limitation contained in the SIP of any state for such class or category of source or the most stringent emission limitation which is achieved in practice . . . whichever is more stringent."
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (A tighter technology-based standard for pollution control, applying to new ormodified sources in nonattainment areas. The most stringent emission limit achieved in practice by the same type of source.)
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. The most stringent emission limitation achieved in practice, or which can reasonably be expected to occur in practice for a category of emission sources taking into consideration each air contamination which must be controlled. In no event shall the application of this term permit a proposed new source or modification to emit any air contaminant in excess of the amount permitted under any applicable emission standard established under state or federal regulations.
The control level required of a source subject to non-attainment review.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. The most up-to-date methods, systems, techniques, and production processes available to achieve the greatest feasible emission reductions for given regulated air pollutants and processes. Federal LAER determination does not consider cost effectiveness. (Compare to BACT.)
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. The degree of emissions control required on new major sources and major modifications in nonattainment areas. The technology must be the best in use or most stringent in any SIP (State Implementation Plan) and cost is not taken into account.
Lowest achievable emission rate. Considered to be the lowest rate of emissions from a source category which is contained in the State Implementation Plan, or which is achieve in practice by such category of sources. This term is most often associated with a nonattainment area.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. This represents the most stringent control technology achieved in practice regardless of cost. LAER is used to determine emission limits for the NSR program.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate. Under the Clean Air Act, the most stringent emission limitation derived from either (1) the most stringent emission limitation in the implementation plan of any state for such source or category of source; or (2) the most stringent emission limitation achieved in practice by such class or category of sources.
The rate of emissions that reflects either the most stringent emission limit contained in the implementation plan of any state (unless it is proved that such limitations are not achievable, or the most stringent emission limit achieved in practice, whichever is most stringent).
