(a) No person shall cause or allow the emission of any particulate matter from any process equipment whatsoever in excess of the permitted emission as provided for in Figure III, Table III. 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 said process weight per hour. If two or more process units connect to a single back or chimney, each unit shall for the purpose of computing the maximum allowable emission rate be considered a separate entity with the allowable 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 individual components of the particulate emission.
(b) All process equipment existing prior to the effective date of this Code shall be in compliance with the limits in subsection (a) hereof by June 30, 1973.

Interpretation of the data in this table for refuse burning equipment over 175 pounds per hour capacity shall be accomplished by use of the equation E=0.00263 R0.91, where E is the rate of emission in pounds per hour and R represents refuse charged in pounds per hour.

Interpretation of the data in this table for process weight rates up to 60,000 lb/hr shall be accomplished by use of the equation E=4.10.P 0.67, and interpolation and extrapolation of the data for process weight rates in excess of 60,000 lb/hr shall be accomplished by use of the equation E=55.OP 0.11 - 40, where E=rate of emission in lb/hr and P = process weight rate in tons/hr.
