(a) Emissions from Fuel-Burning Equipment.
(1) No person shall cause or permit to be emitted into the atmosphere from any fuel-burning equipment or premises or to pass a convenient measuring point near the stack outlet any particulate matter in the gases exceeding 0.60 pound per 1,000,000 BTU of heat input for installations having a total input of less than 10,000,000 BTU per hour. Figure I and Table I shall be used to determine the permitted particulate emission limitation for sources with a rated heat input equal to or greater than 10,000,000 BTU per hour.
(2) The burning of refuse in fuel-burning equipment is hereby prohibited.
(3) All fuel-burning equipment existing prior to the effective date of this Air Pollution Code (Ordinance 53-70, passed May 25, 1970) shall be in compliance with the limits established in subparagraph (a)(1) hereof sixty days after such effective date.
(b) Emissions from Refuse-Burning Equipment.
(1) No person shall cause or permit to be emitted into the atmosphere from any refuse-burning equipment or premises or to pass a convenient measuring point near the stack outlet any particulate matter in the gases exceeding 0.40 pounds per hour for installations charging not more than 175 pounds per hour of total refuse. Figure II and Table II shall be used to determine the permitted particulate emission limitation for installations charging more than 175 pounds per hour of total refuse.
(2) All refuse-burning equipment existing prior to the effective date of this Air Pollution Code (Ordinance 53-70, passed May 25, 1970) shall be in compliance with the limits established in subparagraph (b)(1) hereof sixty days after such effective date.
(c) Emissions from Process Equipment.
(1) No person shall cause or permit the emission of any particulate matter from any process equipment whatsoever in excess of the permitted emission provided in Figure III and Table III.
(2) All process equipment existing prior to the effective date of this Air Pollution Code (Ordinance 53-70, passed May 25, 1970) shall be in compliance with the limits established in subparagraph (c)(1) hereof sixty days after such effective date.
(d) Use of Table. To use the table, find the process weight per hour in the table and note the allowable rate of emissions in pounds per hour for such process weight. If two or more process units connect to a single stack or chimney, each unit shall, for the purpose of computing the maximum permitted emission rate, be considered a separate entity, with the permitted emission rate for the stack or chimney being the sum of the individual computations. A more severe limitation may be imposed, depending upon the quantity and the degree of toxicity of the individual components of the particulate emission.
