(A) more than or equal to five tons of contaminants per year; or
(B) less than five tons of contaminants per year and is a source specified in rule by the Secretary.
(2) Each day of operating an air contaminant source without a valid, current registration shall constitute a separate violation and subject the operator to a civil penalty not to exceed $100.00 per violation.
