Subchapter 6: Emission Standards
No person shall cause or permit the emission of an odorous air contaminant or steam or water vapor, if the air contaminant or steam or water vapor causes or may cause detriment to the health, safety, welfare or comfort of any person, or injury to plant and animal life, or causes or may cause damage to property or business, or if it reacts or is likely to react with any other air contaminant or natural air, or is induced to react by solar energy to produce a solid, liquid or gas or any combination thereof which causes or may cause detriment to the health, safety, welfare or comfort of any person, or injury to plant and animal life, or which causes or may cause damage to property or business.
(Am. L.L. 2015/038, 5/6/2015, eff. 5/6/2016)
(a) No person shall cause or permit the emission of an air contaminant of:
(1) A density which appears as dark or darker than number two on the standard smoke chart or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree equal to or greater than smoke of number two density on the standard smoke chart; or
(2) A density which appears as dark or darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, but less than number two on said chart, or of such opacity as to obscure vision to a degree equal to or greater than smoke of number one density on the standard smoke chart, but less than number two on said chart, if such an emission continues for longer than two minutes in the aggregate in any sixty minute period.
(b) (1) The density or opacity of an air contaminant shall be measured in accordance with the procedures set forth in "Method 9 - Visual determination of the opacity of emissions from stationary sources," Appendix A-4 to 40 CFR part 60.
(2) The density or opacity of an air contaminant shall be measured at the point of its emission provided that:
(i) When the point of emission cannot be readily observed, it may be measured at an observable point on the plume nearest the point of emission; or
(ii) In the case of an air contaminant emitted from a source outside of the city of New York, it shall be measured after the plume crosses the jurisdictional boundary of the city of New York.
(Am. L.L. 2015/038, 5/6/2015, eff. 5/6/2016)
No person shall cause or permit the emission of a visible air contaminant from the internal combustion engine of:
(a) A motor vehicle while the vehicle is stationary for longer than ten consecutive seconds; or
(b) A motor vehicle after the vehicle has moved continuously for more than ninety yards.
(c) The operator or registered owner of a vehicle in violation of this section shall be responsible for such violation.

(a) Refuse burning equipment.
(1) Refuse burning equipment used at a crematorium that is covered by subpart 219-4 of part two-hundred nineteen of title six of the New York codes, rules and regulations, must meet the emission limits for particulates set forth in section 219-4.3 of such title.
(2) Refuse burning equipment used to burn infectious waste that is covered by subdivision a of section 219-3.3 of title six of the New York codes, rules and regulations must meet the emission limits for particulates set forth in such subdivision.
(3) Refuse burning equipment used to burn waste material for the purpose of energy generation or that is not otherwise covered under paragraph one or two of this subdivision, and that is covered by subdivision b of section 219-3.3 of title six of the New York codes, rules and regulations must meet the emission limits for particulates set forth in such section.
(b) Equipment used in a process.
(1) Equipment used in a process that is covered by section 212.3 of title six of the New York codes, rules and regulations must meet the emission limits for particulates set forth in such section.
(2) Equipment used in a process that is covered by section 212.4 of title six of the New York codes, rules and regulations must meet the emission limits for particulates set forth in such section.
(c) Fuel burning equipment that meets the definition of a new oil-fired boiler, as such term is used in subpart JJJJJJ of 40 CFR part 63, with a heat input capacity of ten million Btu per hour or greater and that does not meet the definition of a seasonal boiler or limited-use boiler, as such terms are used in such subpart, must meet emission limits for particulate matter applicable to such new oil-fired boilers set forth in table one to such subpart.
