Fugitive emissions, to the extent quantifiable, will be considered in determining annual potential for those stationary sources whose fugitive emissions are regulated by the applicable state implementation plan.(l)Source means any source of air pollution subject to applicable legal requirements as defined in paragraph (c).(m)Technical Support Document means the Noncompliance Penalties Technical Support Document which accompanies these regulations. The Technical Support Document appears as appendix A to these regulations. All other terms are defined as they are in the Act.
