Section 111.72. Process Weight Method.
(Approved by EPA 07/26/82 (47 FR 32126) at 52.2270(c)(44) effective 09/24/82.)
No person affected by Section 3.10(e) of the Texas Clean Air Act may cause, suffer, allow, or permit emissions of particulate matter from any or all sources associated with a specific process to exceed the allowable levels specified in Table 3 and/or Figure 3, except as provided by Section 111.73 of this title (relating to Alternate Method).

ALLOWABLE RATE OF EMISSION BASED ON PROCESS WEIGHT RATE
| PROCESS WEIGHT RATE lb/hr |
RATE OF EMISSION lb/hr |
PROCESS WEIGHT RATE lb/hr |
RATE OF EMISSION lb/hr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | 1.6 | 16,000 | 24.2 |
| 1,500 | 2.4 | 18,000 | 27.2 |
| 2,000 | 3.1 | 20,000 | 30.1 |

| 3,000 | 4.7 | 40,000 | 59.7 |
| 3,500 | 5.4 | 50,000 | 64.0 |

Interpolation of the data in this table for process weights up to 40,000 pounds per hour (lb/hr) shall be accomplished by the use of the equation E = 3.12 (p^0.985), and interpolation and extrapolation of the data for process weight rates in excess of 40,000 lb/hr shall be accomplished by use of the equation E = 25.4 (p^0.287) where E = rate of emission in lb/hr and p = process weight rate in tons per hour.
FIGURE 3, ALLOWABLE EMISSIONS LEVELS BASED ON PROCESS WEIGHT RATE, is not included here because it is not possible to computerize Figure 3. It is a log-log graph with Process Weight Rate (1000 lb/hr to 1,000,000 lb/hr) on the horizontal axis and Rate of Emission (1.0 lb/hr to 200 lb/hr) on the vertical axis.

Section 111.73. Alternate Method.
(Approved by EPA 07/26/82 (47 FR 32126) at 52.2270(c)(44) effective 09/24/82.)
44 Any person affected by Section 3.10(e) of the Texas Clean Air Act who does not wish to be controlled by the process weight method, established by Section 111.72 of this title (relating to Process Weight Method), may select an alternate method of control which the Executive Director finds will provide emission control efficiency and measurement to achieve the same goal as Section 111.72 of this title (relating to Process Weight Method).

Section 111.74. Failure to Select Alternate Method.
(Approved by EPA 07/26/82 (47 FR 32126) at 52.2270(c)(44) effective 09/24/82.)
44 Any person affected by Section 3.10(e) of the Texas Clean Air Act who does not select an alternate method and notify the Executive Director, in writing, prior to any plant investigation by the staff of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission shall be controlled by the process weight method established by Section 111.72 of this title (relating to Process Weight Method), unless the Executive Director, at his discretion, chooses to accept proposals for an alternate method at that time.
