' ARTICLE 9 : EMISSION STANDARDS <br /> SECTION 9.03 EMISSION OF AIR CONTAMINANT: VISUAL STANDARD <br /> ' Adopted 03/13/68(12)Revised 07/08/70(126),04/11/73(186),06/09/88(621)05/11/89(643),09/08/94(798),04/09/98(865), <br /> 03/11/99(881),03/25/04(1024) <br /> (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow the emission of any air <br /> ' contaminant for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour, <br /> which is: <br /> (1) Darker in shade than that designated as No. 1 (20% density) on the Ringelmann <br /> ' Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of Mines; <br /> or <br /> ' (2) Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than <br /> does smoke described in Section 9.03(a)(1). <br /> (b) The density or opacity of an air contaminant shall be measured at the point of its <br /> emission, except when the point of emission cannot be readily observed, it may be <br /> measured at an observable point of the plume nearest the point of emission. <br /> (c) This section shall not apply when the presence of uncombined water is the only <br /> reason for the failure of the emission to meet the requirements of this section. <br /> (d) This section shall not apply to solid fuel burning devices, permitted fire training <br /> ' facilities, permitted obscurant usage during military training operations, outdoor fires, <br /> motor vehicles when operated on public roads, aircraft, or equipment subject to <br /> Section 9.04 of this regulation. <br /> (e) This section shall not apply to equipment with an alternate opacity standard issued <br /> under Section 3.03 or Article 6 of this regulation that is based upon a correlation with <br /> ' the particulate concentration and that accurately indicates a violation of the <br /> applicable particulate emission standards in Section 9.09 of this regulation. <br /> SECTION 9.04 OPACITY STANDARDS FOR EQUIPMENT WITH <br /> ' CONTINUOUS OPACITY MONITORING SYSTEMS Adopted 04/09/98(865) <br /> Revised 03/25/04(1024) <br /> (a) Applicability. This section shall apply to all equipment required to be equipped with a <br /> continuous emission monitoring system for opacity. <br /> (b) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow the operation of any of the <br /> ' following equipment unless equipped with a continuous emission monitoring system <br /> for opacity: <br /> (1) Cement kilns; <br /> 1 (2) Clinker coolers; <br /> (3) Glass furnaces, rated at greater than 1 ton per hour, that burn fuel; <br /> ' (4) Fuel burning equipment, rated at 100 million Btu per hour or greater, that <br /> burns wood, coal, or residual oil; and <br /> (5) Refuse burning equipment rated at greater than 12 tons per day. <br /> (c) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow the emission of any air <br /> ' contaminant from any equipment subject to this section during any hour that: <br /> Page 1 of 7 <br />
