APPENDIX A. ALLOWABLE PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSION RATE FOR INCINERATORS [NEW]

The following information is for use only in conjunction with OAC 252:100-17-4.

The allowable particulate matter emission rate for incinerators with a capacity of 75 lb/hr or 
less is 0.01 pounds per hour of refuse charged, including any solid fuel, on an as-loaded basis.

The allowable particulate matter emission rate for incinerators with a capacity greater than 
75 lb/hr may be calculated using one of the following formulas, where Y equals the allowable
particulate matter emission rate in pounds per hour and X equals the refuse charged, including any
solid fuel, in pounds per hour on an as-loaded basis.

For incinerators with a capacity greater than 75 lb/hr but less than 100 lb/hr, the formula is:

                    Y 9.213 x 10-11 X4.818

or incinerators with a capacity of 100 lb/hr or more, the formula is:

                    0.221 x 10-2 X0.7577
