Technology required to reduce emissions of air pollutant. Defined in the Great Lakes Permitting Agreement as: "emission limits, operating stipulations, and/or technology requirements based on the maximum degree of reduction which each Great Lakes state determines is achievable through application of processes or available methods, systems, and techniques for the control of listed pollutants, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts, and other costs."
An emission limitation based on the maximum degree of reduction of each air contaminant from stationary sources subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act of 1977 which the Air Pollution Control Officer, determines is achievable. This determination is made on a case by case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs for such stationary source through application of production processes and available methods, systems, and techniques for control of such air contaminants.
A concept taken from the Clean Air Act designed to preserve air quality from degradation by requiring that emissions from new facilities, temporary facilities, and even existing facilities in some instances be controlled to the extent possible using the best available technology.
an emission limitation based on using the most up-to-date methods, systems, techniques, and production processes available to achieve the greatest feasible emission reductions. These are the most stringent requirements for new or modified sources and are determined on a case-by-case basis as part of New Source Review
An emission limit based on the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant regulated by the Clean Air Act. The permitting authority, taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts determines what emission limits facilities should achieve in an attainment area on a case-by-case basis by considering production processes, available methods, systems, and techniques.
Technology required on new major sources that are built in attainment areas and on major modifications to existing facilities in such areas. BACT is established on a caseby- case basis through a permitting process required under the Clean Air Act. Controls required as BACT can be, but are not necessarily, less stringent than Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER).
An emission limitation based on using the most up-to-date methods, systems, techniques, and production processes available to achieve the greatest feasible reductions with the consideration of energy, environmental, and economic impacts. These limitations are determined on a case-by-case basis as part of the PSD program.
Compare? The application of the most advanced methods, systems, and techniques for eliminating or minimizing discharges and emissions on a case-by-case basis as determined by EPA. BACT represents an emission limit based on the maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant as described in regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The determination of BACT takes into account energy, environmental, economic effects, and other costs.
The most up-to-date methods, systems, techniques, and production processes available to achieve the greatest feasible emission reductions for given regulated pollutants and processes. BACT is a requirement of NSR (New Source Review) and PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration). BACT as used in federal law under PSD is defined as an emission limitation based on the maximum degree of emissions reductions allowable taking into account energy, environmental & economic impacts and other costs. [(CAA Section 169(3)]. The term BACT as used in state law means an emission limitation that will achieve the lowest achievable emission rates, which means the most stringent of either the most stringent emission limits contained in the SIP for the class or category of source, (unless it is demonstrated that one limitation is not achievable) or the most stringent emission limit achieved in practice by that class in category of source. "BACT" under state law is more stringent than federal BACT and is equivalent to federal LAER (lowest achievable emission rate) which applies to NSR permit actions.
That pollution control method that is recognized as the one removing the greatest amount of air pollutants for a particular industry or process. Cost is considered in requiring BACT.
That pollution control method which is recognized as the one which removes the greatest amount of pollutants for a particular industry or process. Cost is considered in requiring BACT.
An emission limitation based on the maximum degree of reduction which DEC determines is achievable taking in to account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs. CAA ยง 169(3).
An emission limitation (including a visible emission standard) based on the maximum degree of reduction for each pollutant subject to regulation under the [Clean Air] act which would be emitted from any proposed major stationary source or major modification which the Administrator, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such source or modification through application of production processes or available methods, systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of such pollutant.
An emission limitation based on the maximum degree of emission reduction (considering energy, environmental, and economic impacts) achievable through application of production processes and available methods, systems, and techniques. BACT does not permit emissions in excess of those allowed under any applicable Clean Air Act provisions. Use of the BACT concept is allowable on a case-by-case basis for major new or modified emissions sources in attainment areas and applies to each regulated pollutant.
For any specific source, the currently available technology producing the greatest reduction of air pollutant emissions, taking into account energy, environmental, economic, and other costs. The most stringent technology available for controlling emissions; major sources are required to use BACT, unless it can be demonstrated that it is not feasible for energy, environmental, or economic reasons.
Best Available Control Technology (BACT) is an emission limitation based on the maximum degree of reduction for each regulated air pollutant emitted from or that results from any new or modified stationary source. BACT is the emission rates that are achievable for a source or modification, determined on a case-by-case basis and taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts, and other costs.
