The code enforcement officer or any court may order the abatement of objectionable odors by ordering:
   A.   Any person who operates or uses any device, machine, equipment or other contrivance for the rendering of animal matter to provide that all gases, vapors, and gas entrailed effluents from such facility are incinerated at a temperature of not less than one thousand two hundred degrees Fahrenheit (1,200°F) for a period not less than 0.3 second, or processed by condensation or such manner which will provide the best available control technology.
   B.   Any person incinerating or processing gas, vapor, or gas entrailed effluents to provide, properly install, and maintain in good working order and in operation, devices to monitor temperature, pressure, or other operating conditions.
   C.   Effective new or existing odor control devices, systems, or measures be installed and operated such that no vent, exhaust pipe, blowoff pipe, or opening of any kind shall discharge into the ambient air any odorous matter, vapor, gases, or dust, or any combination thereof, which create objectionable odors.
   D.   Odor producing materials to be stored, transported, and handled in a manner that:
      1.   Odors produced from materials are confined, abated or treated using the best available control technology and that accumulation of such materials resulting from spillage or other escape is prevented.
      2.   Whenever dust, fumes, gases, mist, odorous matter, vapors, or any contamination thereof escapes from a building used for rendering animal or marine matter in such a manner and amount as to cause an objectionable odor, the code enforcement officer or court may require that the building or buildings in which rendering, handling, and storage are done be tightly closed and ventilated in such a manner that all airborne effluent materials leaving the building be treated by an effective means using the best available control technology to treat odorous matter before release to the ambient air.
