3. Electric generating turbines shall not discharge sulfur dioxide in excess of 0.8 pound per million btu of heat input.

4. The sulfur dioxide emissions from wood refuse boilers shall be 90% controlled and less than 0.8 pounds per million btu of heat input.

5. The fuel burning installations using natural gas or propane or fuel oil as fuel shall not discharge sulfur dioxide in excess of 0.51 pounds per million btu of heat input.

(c) Process emission sources

Process emission sources located in or significantly impacting on the New Johnsonville additional control area shall emit no emission in excess of the following:

1. Hot Mix Asphalt Plants -	800ppm
2. Sand or clay dryers -	300ppm
3. Titanium dioxide manufacturing plants
(i) Reaction stacks -	800ppm
(ii) Spray dryers -	300ppm

5. Gray iron foundries
Induction furnaces -	100ppm
Preheaters -	100ppm
Heat treat ovens -	100ppm
6. Electrolytic manganese production plants
(i) Reduction furnaces -for manganese ores	350ppm

(iv) The process emissions sources not given a specific standard above shall emit no emissions in excess of 100ppm.

8. Primary aluminum reduction plants

(i) All operating permits for primary aluminum reduction potlines shall expire on the rule certified date of 1200-3-19-.14(1)(c) 8.

(ii) The Technical Secretary shall specify on the operating permit for the sources affected by subpart 8 (i) above as a permit condition the maximum sulfur content of the carbon electrodes which may be used. This percent by weight of sulfur shall not exceed 6.0 and shall be less than that value necessary to assure compliance with the primary SO₂ ambient standards after December 31, 1982 and the secondary SO₂ ambient standard after December 31, 1987.

(iii) The Technical Secretary shall specify as a condition of the operating permit for the sources affected by subpart 8 (i) above a compliance schedule assuring attainment of the secondary standard by December 31, 1987 and the primary standard by December 31, 1982.

(iv) The sulfur dioxide emissions from melting and holding furnaces shall not exceed 0.51 pounds per million btu of heat input.
