(2) “Biodiesel” means a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats that is 99-100 percent biodiesel by volume (B100 or B99) and meets the specifications set forth by ASTM International in the latest version of Standard Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle Distillate Fuels D6751 contained in the ASTM publication entitled: Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Section 5, as defined in CCR, title 4, section 4140(a).
(4) “Blend Level” means the ratio of an ADF to the CARB diesel it is blended with, expressed as a percent by volume. The blend level may also be expressed as “AXX,” where “A” represents the particular ADF and “XX” represents the percent by volume that ADF is present in the blend with CARB diesel (e.g., a 20 percent by volume biodiesel/CARB diesel blend is denoted as “B20”).
(9) “CARB Diesel” means a light or middle distillate fuel that may be comingled with up to five (5) volume percent biodiesel and meets the definition and requirements for “diesel fuel” or “California nonvehicular diesel fuel” as specified in CCR, title 13, division 3, chapter 5, article 2 (commencing with section 2281). “CARB diesel” may include: renewable hydrocarbon diesel; gas-to-liquid fuels; Fischer-Tropsch diesel; diesel fuel produced from renewable crude; CARB diesel blended with additives specifically formulated to reduce emissions of one or more criteria or toxic air contaminants relative to reference CARB diesel; and CARB diesel specifically formulated to reduce emissions of one or more criteria or toxic air contaminants relative to reference CARB diesel.
(10.5) “Designated Equivalent Limits Diesel” means a commercial California diesel fuel or blend of commercial California diesel fuels, produced at a California refinery or refineries, that meets the requirements of 13 CCR 2282(h) and may contain 2-ethyl-hexyl nitrate. Designated Equivalent Limits Diesel does not contain biodiesel or di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP).
(12) “Executive Order” or “EO” means a document signed by the Executive Officer or his or her designee under this subarticle that: a) provides an exemption from in-use requirements, b) approves a formulation under the certification procedures as an equivalent CARB diesel formulation, or c) specifies the stage under which a regulated party(ies) for an ADF or candidate ADF is or will be operating. An Executive Order includes any enforceable terms, conditions, and requirements that the regulated party(ies) must meet in order to sell, offer for sale, or supply that ADF or candidate ADF for use in California.
(20) “Person” has the same meaning as defined in California Health and Safety Code section 39047 and includes, but is not limited to, ADF producers, importers, marketers and blenders. “Person” includes the plural when two or more persons are subject to an executed Executive Order or an interim or final fuel specification issued pursuant to the requirements of this subarticle.
(26) “Toxic Air Contaminant” means any substance identified or designated by the Air Resources Board as a toxic air contaminant pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 39657, or is designated as a hazardous air pollutant under section 112 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7412).
