('81 Code, § 16-1.04) (Ord. 1971-7-18-804, passed 5-17-71)
(A) It shall be unlawful within the village for any person owning or in charge of any fuel- burning, refuse-burning combustion or process equipment or device, or portable boiler, or stacks, vents or premises, to cause, suffer or allow the emission or discharge of smoke from any single such source into the atmosphere the appearance, density, or shade of which is No. 2 or darker, of the Ringelmann Chart, except when building a new fire, when manually cleaning a fire or when blowing tubes and flues in a power plant, heating plant or domestic heating plant, smoke may be emitted of an appearance, density or shade equal to or darker than No. 2 of the Ringelmann Chart for a period or periods aggregating not more than six minutes in any observed 60 minute period.
(B) The “Ringelmann Chart,” as published and described in the U.S. Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8333, and on which are illustrated graduated shades of gray to black for use in estimating the light obscuring capacity of smoke, shall be the standard for determining the appearance, density or shade of smoke. Observations of smoke emissions under this subchapter shall be made by comparing the observed density of smoke with the Ringelmann Chart numbers.
('81 Code, § 16-1.05) (Ord. 1971-7-18-805, passed 5-17-71) Penalty, see § 10.99
A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any atmospheric pollutants other than smoke for a period or periods aggregating more than two minutes in any one hour which is:
(A) As dark as or darker in shade than that designated as No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of Mines; or
(B) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than does smoke described in division (A) of this section.
('81 Code, § 16-1.06) (Ord. 1971-7-18-806, passed 5-17-71) Penalty, see § 10.99
It shall be unlawful within the village for any person to cause, suffer or allow the emission into the air of dust, soot, cinder, or of any particulates from any process or operation that is enclosed or can reasonably be enclosed in concentrations in excess of the allowable rates of emission set forth in Table 1 of § 91.59 of this chapter.
('81 Code, § 16-1.07) (Ord. 1971-7-18-807, passed 5-17-71) Penalty, see § 10.99
Emissions of particulate matter from the combustion of fuel for indirect heating for existing equipment shall be limited by the ASME Standard No. APS-1 dated June 15, 1986, “Recommended Guide for the Control of Dust Emission - Combustion for Indirect Heat Exchangers,” hereby adopted and by this reference thereto hereby incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of this rule the allowable emission shall be calculated from equation (15) in the standard with COmax2=50. Figure 2 in the standard may be used to estimate allowable emission for each stack shall be 0.6 pounds of particulates per million BTU input. The emission rate for multiple stack installations shall be modified in accordance with said ASME Standard No. APS-1.
('81 Code, § 16-1.08) (Ord. 1971-7-18-808, passed 5-17-71) Penalty, see § 10.99
If compliance with this subchapter cannot be reached within 60 days after the effective date of this subchapter, the person responsible for the existing equipment in the village shall submit to the Building Inspector within that same period an Air Contaminant Emission Reduction Program which shall be in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.
