Latest version.
  • a)         No person, while simultaneously burning more than one type of fuel in a fuel combustion emission unit, shall cause or allow the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere in any one hour period in excess of the following equation:

    where

     

    E

    =

    Allowable emission rate;

    A

    =

    Solid fuel particulate emission standard which is applicable;

    B

    =

    Constant determined from the table in subsection (b);

    S

    =

    Actual heat input from solid fuel;

    L

    =

    Actual heat input from liquid fuel.
