     The following words and terms when used in this 
part and Part 4 of this subchapter shall have the 
following meaning unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
     "Capacity" means the maximum design charging
rate of refuse in pounds per hour (lb/hr)
an incinerator is designed to receive.
     "Particulate matter" or "total particulate matter" 
means the sum of all filterable and condensable particulate
matter emitted to the ambient air as measured by applicable 
reference methods, or an equivalent or alternative method.
     "Primary combustion chamber" means the initial 
incinerator chamber where refuse is charged, ignited and burned.
     "Secondary combustion chamber" means 
a component of the general purpose incinerator that receives
combustion gases from the primary
combustion chamber and in which the combustion process is completed.

device in each combustion chamber shall be in operation
at all times when refuse is being incinerated.
