§ 15-10-63. NEW SOURCE.

(A)

The director may make a determination that construction at an existing source of discharge results in a new source.

(B)

The director may not find that an existing source becomes a new source if construction on a site where an existing source is located does not create a new building, structure, facility or installation meeting the definition of new source under this chapter but otherwise alters, replaces, or adds to existing process or production equipment.

(C)

The director may determine that a source becomes a new source if the owner or operator has:

(1)

begun placement, assembly or installation of facilities or equipment, or significant site preparation work including clearing, excavation, or removal of an existing building, structure, or facility as part of a continuous onsite construction program; or

(2)

entered a contract to purchase facilities or equipment intended for operational use within a reasonable time, excluding options to purchase or contracts subject to termination or modification without substantial loss, or feasibility, engineering, and design study contracts.
