(1) Existing Fuel
Burning Equipment
The maximum hour allowable particulate emissions for a fuel
burning installation commenced before April 3, 1972, shall be determined from
the following equations:

Where:
E = allowable particulate emissions in lb per million
Btu.
Q = total installation heat input in million Btu per
hour.
(2) New Fuel Burning
Equipment
(a) The maximum allowable
particulate emissions for a fuel burning installation commenced on or after
April 3, 1972, shall be determine from the following equations:

where, E and Q are as defined in paragraph (1) above.
(b) Where only part of the fuel
burning equipment in a fuel burning installation is constructed or modified on
or after April 3, 1972, the maximum allowable particulate emissions is
determined by the following equation:

Where,
Et = allowable particulate emission in lb/hr,
Qx = total heat input for existing equipment in million
Btu/hr,
Ex = allowable emissions for installation of size Qx as
determined by paragraph (1) above in lb per million Btu,
Qy = total heat input for new equipment in million
Btu/hr.
Ey = allowable emissions for installation of size Qy as
determined by subparagraph (a) above in lb per million Btu.
(c) In lieu of (a) above, the maximum
allowable particulate emissions from any wood refuse boiler built after April
3, 1972, in which 3% or more of the total heat input is obtained from ammonium
sulfite spent liquor, shall not exceed .24 pounds per million BTU heat input.
This rule applies to that fuel burning equipment designed to burn wood and when
the burning of wood provides at least 30% of the heat input of the unit. This
rule does not apply to units burning coal.
(3) Incinerators
(a) The maximum allowable particulate
emissions from incinerators is 0.200 percent of the charging rate for
incinerators with a 2000 pound per hour charging rate or less and 0.100 percent
of the charging rate for incinerators with a charging rate greater than 2000
pounds per hour.
(b)
Reserved.
(c) The particulate
emission standards of this paragraph are not applicable to wigwam burners, air
curtain destructors, and air curtain incinerators.
(4) Repealed.
(5) Relocated non-portable fuel burning
equipment. The maximum allowable particulate emissions for non-portable fuel
burning equipment which is relocated more than 1.0 km from the previous
position after November 6, 1988 shall be the greater of the actual emissions at
its previous site or the allowable emissions for new fuel burning
equipment.
