(1)
In determining whether a net emission increase has occurred, all creditable increases and decreases of actual emissions shall be included occurring at the installation since the most recent permit was issued to the installation pursuant to 10 CSR 10-6.060(1)(B). If no permit has been issued to the installation, then all increases and decreases shall be included occurring since:

(2)
Rules for determining creditability of increases and decreases.
a.
An increase or decrease in actual emissions is creditable only if the director has not relied on it in issuing a permit for the installation pursuant to 10 CSR 10-6.060(1)(B), which permit is in effect when the increase in actual emissions from the particular change occurs.
b.
An increase or decrease in actual emissions of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter or nitrogen oxides which occurs before the applicable baseline date is creditable only if it is required to be considered in calculating the amount of maximum allowable increases remaining available.
c.
An increase in actual emissions is creditable only to the extent that the new level of actual emissions exceeds the old level.
d.
A decrease in actual emissions is creditable only to the extent that the old level of actual emissions or the old level of allowable emissions, whichever is lower, exceeds the new level of actual emissions; the decrease is enforceable at and after the time that actual construction to bring about the proposed increase begins, and the decrease has approximately the same qualitative significance for public health and welfare as that attributed to the proposed increase.
e.
If credit for a decrease in actual emissions has been banked in accordance with 10 CSR 10-6.060(12)(D) credit must be withdrawn from the bank in order for the decrease to be creditable.
f.
A decrease in actual emissions is creditable only if the director has not relied on it in demonstrating attainment or reasonable further progress.
(3)
An increase that results from a physical change at a source occurs when the emissions unit on which construction occurred becomes operational and begins to emit a particular pollutant.

Offset means a decrease in actual emissions from source operation or installation which is greater than the amount of emissions anticipated from a modification or construction of a source operation or installation. The decrease must be of the same pollutant and have substantially similar environmental and health effects on the impacted area as the new emissions. Any ratio of decrease to increase greater than one to one (1:1) constitutes offset. The exceptions to this are ozone nonattainment areas where VOC and NOx emissions will require an offset ratio of actual emission reduction to new emissions according to the following schedule: marginal area = 1.1:1; moderate area = 1.15:1, serious area = 1.2:1 severe area = 1.3:1, and extreme area = 1.5:1.
