What is a “New Facility”?

§ 95373.

  • 95373. Part of Definition
  • ns

“New Facility” means any of the following: (1) New construction; (2) An existing facility not previously used for cold storage, or refrigeration used in retail food, commercial, industrial refrigeration; or (3) …with a replacement of 75 percent or more of evaporators (by number) and, 100 percent of compressors racks, and 100 percent of condensers. Exce xception: : § 95375(c) and § 95375(d) Appr pprov

Does es t the he IPR PR def efini nition n match t h the he U.S. S.EPA d def efini nitions ns?

A: A: Yes, but edited to align even more closely with EPA definitions under Rule 608 and SNAP rules.

“Industrial Process Refrigeration” means to cool process streams at a specific location in manufacturing and other

forms of industrial processes and applications, and are complex, customized systems that are directly linked to the industrial process. Where one appliance is used for both industrial process refrigeration and other applications, it will be considered an industrial process refrigeration system if 50 percent or more of its operating capacity is used for industrial process refrigeration. Industrial process refrigeration or cooling using a chiller is regulated as a chiller. Industrial process refrigeration not using a chiller is regulated as industrial process refrigeration equipment.

Proposed Variance Provision

63

§ 95377. Variance. There are two types of variances:

(1) Impossibility

  • Criteria to apply for an Impossibility variance: A lower risk substitute is not

currently or potentially available, an exemption will not increase the overall risk to human health or the environment, the Applicant has a niche end-use or circumstance, and the Applicant used best efforts to anticipate and address the Impossibility and any potential noncompliance (2) Force Majeure

  • Criteria to apply for a Force Majeure variance: Non-compliance is due to a Force

Majeure event and the Applicant used best efforts to anticipate and address the Force Majeure and any potential noncompliance

slide-64
SLIDE 64

Application Process

64

The Executive Officer may approve a variance for a force majeure event prior to the close of a public comment period if an immediate variance is needed to protect human health or the environment Following the public comment period the Executive Officer may revoke or modify the Executive Order

slide-65
SLIDE 65

Application Process

  • A variance is only approved for the applicant and

cannot be retroactively applied

  • A variance may be modified or revoked if:
  • Any terms and/or conditions specified in the

executive order are not followed

  • The applicant no longer meets the variance criteria
