"Surplus emissions reductions" mean, in general, any emission reductions that are not otherwise required of a source, and, specifically, mean the emissions reductions achieved from the baseline emission rate exceed the reductions required:

1. (a) Under the Act;

2. (b) By the SIP, including:

   1. (1) Env-A 1204 (VOC RACT); and

   2. (2) Env-A 1211 (NOx RACT), which means that the reductions achieved exceed:

      1. a. The numerical emission limits required in Env-A 1211; and
      2. b. The control technology required in Env-A 1211, which means that no credit shall be granted for the installation of combustion controls (e.g., low NOx burners), regardless of the numerical emission rate achieved by their installation; and
3. (c) By any administrative or judicial order, consent agreement, or enforcement action.
