NEW SOURCE:
A.   Any building, structure, facility, or installation from which there is (or may be) a discharge of pollutants, the construction of which commenced after the publication of proposed pretreatment standards under Section 307 (c) of the Act which will be applicable to such source if such standards are thereafter promulgated in accordance with that section, provided that one of the following is true:
   1.   The building, structure, facility, or installation is constructed at a site which no other source is located;
   2.   The building, structure, facility, or installation totally replaces the process or production equipment that causes the discharge of pollutants at an existing source; or
   3.   The production or wastewater generating processes of the building, structure, facility, or installations are substantially independent of an existing source at the same site. In determining whether these are substantially independent, factors such as the extent to which the new facility is integrated with the existing plant, and the extent to which the new facility is engaged in the same general type of activity as the existing source, should be considered.
B.   Construction on a site at which an existing source is located results in a modification rather than a new source if the construction does not create a new building, structure, facility, or installation meeting the criteria of subsection A2 or A3 of this definition but otherwise alters, replaces, or adds to existing process or production equipment.
C.   Construction of a new source as defined under this paragraph has commenced if the owner of operator has done one of the following:
   1.   Begun, or caused one of the following to begin as part of a continuous onsite construction program:
      a.   Any placement, assembly, or installation of facilities or equipment; or
      b.   Significant site preparation work including, clearing, excavation, or removal of existing buildings, structures, or facilities which is necessary for the placement, assembly, or installation of new source facilities or equipment; or
   2.   Entered into a binding contractual obligation for the purchase of facilities or equipment which are intended to be used in its operation within a reasonable time. Options to purchase or contracts which can be terminated or modified without substantial loss, and contracts for feasibility, engineering, and design studies do not constitute a contractual obligation under this paragraph.
D.   New sources shall install and have in operating condition and shall "start-up" all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning to discharge. Within the shortest feasible time (not to exceed ninety (90) days), new sources shall meet all applicable standards.

PPM:
Parts per million.
PRETREATMENT:
The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater to a less harmful state prior to, or in lieu of, discharging or otherwise introducing such Pollutants into the POTW.
