(a) Except as otherwise specified in this section, no person shall cause or permit emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack in excess of the rates specified below.
(1) For fossil fuel-fired steam generating units between ten (10.0) and three hundred fifty(350) x ten (10) BTU’s per hour total rated capacity of heat input, the emission rate in pounds in sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU actual heat input shall be calculated by the following equation:
EL = 7.014Q - 0.3014
where Q is the total rated capacity of heat input in million (1,000,000) BTU per hour and EL is the allowable emission rate in pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU actual heat input.
(2) For fossil fuel-fired units equal to or greater than three hundred fifty million (350,000,000) BTU per hour total rated capacity, one and two-tenths (1.20) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input.
(3) The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company or any subsequent owner or operator of the Lake Shore Power Plant located in Cleveland shall not cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack at the Lake Shore Plant in excess of the following rates:
A. One and three-tenths (1.30) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input from unit no. 18;
B. One and nine-tenths (1.90) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input for units 91 through 94.
(4) The City of Cleveland or any subsequent owner or operator of the Division Pumping Station located at Cleveland shall not cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack at the Division Pumping Station in excess of four and two- tenths (4.20) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input.
(5) No present or subsequent owner or operator of the fossil fuel-fired steam generating units listed herein shall cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack attached to the identified boilers in excess of one (1.00) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input:

(6) No present or subsequent owner or operator of the fossil fuel-fired steam generating units listed herein shall cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack attached to the identified boilers in excess of five-tenths (0.50) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input:

(7) The Hupp Company or any subsequent owner or operator of Hupp facilities in Cleveland shall not cause or permit emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack attached to boilers 1 through 3 at this facility in excess of three and five-tenths (3.50) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input.
(8) No present or subsequent owner or operator of the Medical Center located in Cleveland shall cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack attached to boilers 3 through 8 at the Medical Center in excess of four and six-tenths (4.60) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input.
(9) The General Motors Corporation or any subsequent owner or operator of the Fisher Body Plant at Cleveland shall not cause or permit the emission of sulfur dioxide from any stack attached to boiler 7, 8 and 9 at this facility in excess of two and one-tenth (2.10) pounds of sulfur dioxide per million (1,000,000) BTU of actual heat input.
(b) Nothing in subsection (a) hereof shall prohibit the use of fuel in fuel-burning equipment with a sulfur content greater than the maximum amount permitted by this section, provided that the fuel-burning equipment is equipped with such control apparatus as to continually prevent the emission of any sulfur oxides in amounts greater than those that would be emitted from the burning in the same fuel-burning equipment without such control apparatus of fuel containing the maximum amount of sulfur by weight that is permitted in subsection (a) hereof.
(c) The percentage by weight of sulfur in the fuel shall be determined in accordance with the methods of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM).
(d) For the purpose of this section all emissions of sulfur oxides shall be expressed as concentrations of sulfur dioxide.
