Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-07-.04 - LIMITING ALLOWABLE EMISSIONS

(1) Irrespective of the maximum allowable emission as determined by any of the preceding equations or Process Weight Tables in this chapter, the concentration of particulate process emissions shall not be required to be less than 0.02 grain per dry cubic foot of stack gases corrected to 70°F and 1 atmosphere unless a lesser concentration is found by the Board to be necessary.

(2) Irrespective of the maximum allowable emission as determined by any of the preceding equations or Process Weight Tables in this chapter, the maximum allowable concentration of particulate process emissions shall be 0.25 grains per dry cubic foot of stack gases corrected to 70°F and 1 atmosphere. This shall be achieved by all air contaminant sources on or before August 9, 1973. Air contaminant sources constructed after August 9, 1969, shall meet the above emission standard when they commence operation. This paragraph shall not apply to vents from storage tanks for liquids.

(3) Irrespective of the maximum allowable emission as determined by any of the preceding equations or Process Weight Tables in this chapter, the maximum allowable particulate emissions for processes which are relocated more than 1.0 km from the previous position after November 6, 1988, shall not exceed the greater of the actual emissions at its previous location or the allowable emissions for a new process source.
