(a) As used in this section, the term “rendering plant” includes the land, buildings, machinery, apparatus and fixtures employed in a process by which animal, poultry or fish, which is unsalable, spoiled, contaminated or otherwise unfit for human consumption, is treated, through the use of heat or other methods, so as to convert it into fats and oils, food for poultry, livestock or pets, fertilizer or other products.
(b) No person shall operate or cause to be operated a rendering plant unless:
(1) All vents to the atmosphere from such rendering plant are substantially free of any odor causing air pollution;
(2) Appropriate and suitable air cleaning equipment is so placed and operated and air pollution control measures are so instituted that air contaminants are removed or recycled to the process in such manner that the effluent air will not create air pollution;
(3) Odor-producing materials are confined, processed, stored, handled and disposed of in such a manner that odors produced within or outside the rendering plant from this source can be controlled;
(4) Excessive accumulations of odor- producing materials resulting from spillage or escape do not occur;
(5) Air contaminant emissions arising from unit operations or unit processes, as well as from the handling of general materials, are confined at the point of origin;
(6) All finished products, by-products and waste materials are either odor free or so treated as to eliminate or prevent air pollution.
