252:100-19-1.  Purpose

     The purpose of this Subchapter is to control the amount of particulates released into the air by the use of fuel-burning equipment.

252:100-19-2.  Emission of particulate matter prohibited

     The emission or escape into the open air of particulates resulting from the combustion of fuel in any fuel-burning equipment or from any stack connected thereto in quantities in excess of that indicated in 252:100-19-6 or 252:100-19-7 is hereby prohibited.

252:100-19-3.  Existing equipment

     Any fuel-burning equipment in operation prior to the effective date of this Subchapter shall not emit particulate matter in excess of 0.6 pounds per million B.T.U. heat input provided that all such existing equipment shall comply with 252:100-19-2 within eighteen (18) months from and after July 21, 1970.

252:100-19-4.  New equipment

     The emission or escape into the open air of particulate matter resulting from the combustion of fuel in any fuel-burning equipment in quantities exceeding the limits specified in 252:100-19-6 for the size of equipment involved, is prohibited.  These limitations shall apply when the fuel-burning equipment is operating at the maximum design heat input rating.  The heat input rating of any unit discharging to a single stack shall be the maximum design input rating, including both heat available from burning of fuel and any sensible heat from materials introduced into the combustion zone of a standard temperature of 60°F.  For a heat input between any two (2) consecutive heat inputs stated in 252:100-19-6, maximum allowable emissions of particulate matter are shown in 252:100-19-7.  When one fuel-burning unit is connected to two or more stacks, the heat input of the equipment shall be the criterion for the maximum allowable total emission from all stacks combined.

252:100-19-5.  Refuse burning prohibited

     The burning of refuse in fuel-burning equipment is prohibited except in equipment specifically designed to burn refuse.

252:100-19-6.  Allowable emission of particulate matter

   The emission limits described in 252:100-19-2 and 252:100-19-4 are as follows:
 

252:100-19-7.  Particulate matter emission limits

     Particulate matter emission limits for fuel-burning equipment are set forth in Appendix C of this Chapter.
