is desirable to adopt appropriate regulations to r�duce air pollution caused
by excessive aoot� cxnders, fly aah� dus�t, noxious acids, fumes and gases.

SECTION 2. �estrz�ticr_ af �.:.;.�s�ion af P4rticulate Matter From
Industrial Processes. !
A. General Provisions:
1. Tr.is regulation applies to any op�ration, process. or activity
except the buring of £uel for indirect heating in which the products of com-
bustion do not come into direct contact with process materials and except
the buaing of refuse and except the processing of salvageable material by burning.
2. Process w+eight means the total wei�ht of all znaterials introduced
into a source operation. includin� sclid fuels. bu� excluding liquids and gases
u�ed solely as fuels. and excluding air intro3uced for purposea of combusti�n.
Procees wei;�:t �-�c� _��eans a ra�e established as follows:
. . y � . ,
- page four -
a. For continuous or long-run steady-state source operations.
� the total process weight for the entire period of continuoua
operation or for a typical portion thereof. divided by the number
of hours bf such period or portion thereof.
b. For cyclical or batch source operations, the total process
weight for a period whfch covers a complete operation or an integral
� number of cycles� divided by the hours of actual process operation
during euch period.
Where the na.ture o� any procegs or ogrer;�tion or the design
of any equipr�ent is such as to perma� more than one interpretation
of this section. that inter�reta�ion which �esults in fihe minimum
value for allowable er.zissio:� shall zpply.
3. Emission tests relating to tnis re;ulation shall be made following
the standarde in American Society of IVTechanical �ngineers Power Test
Codes - PTC-27 dated 1957 and entitled Determining Duet Concentration in a
Gas Stream.
� B. Emission Limitationa:
1. Except as prov3ded for in Section B (2), no person ehall cauae.
suffer. allaw. or permit the emission of particulate matter in any one hour
from any source in excesa of,the amount ehown in Table 1 for the process weight
allocated to such source.
2. The limitations established b�r Section B (1) ehall not require the
reduction of particulate matter concen�ration, based on the source gae volume.
below the concentration specified in Table 2 for such volume; provided that�
for the purposes of this section the person responsible for the emisaion may
elect to sub�titute a volume determined according to the provisions of Section
B (3); and provided further that the burden of showin�; the source gas volume
- page five -
or other volume substituted therefor, including all the factors which determine
such volume and the methoda of determinging and computing such volume� aha.11
be on the person seeking to come within the provisions of this Section.
3. Any volume of gases passing through and leaving an air pollution
abatement operation may be aubstituted for the source gas volume of the
source operation served by auch air pollution abatement operation, for the
purposes of Section B (2), provided such air pollution abatement operation
emits no more than 5�0 per cent of the weight of particulate matter entering
thereto; and provided further that such substituted volume shall be corrected
to atandard conditions and to a moisture content no greater than tha.t of any
gas stream entering such air pollution abatement operation.
4. No peraon shall cause, suffer, allow or permit the emisaion
of particulate matter from any source in a concentration in exceas of 0. 30
grain per standard cubic foot of exhaust gases. If provisions of this sub-
section would permit a greater emission of particulate matter per hour than
allawed by aubsection B (1) , the provision of this subsection (B-4) ahall not
1
apply. .
a. Exception. The foll.owing exceptions to the provisions of
Regulations IV shall be permitted:
(1) When building a new fire, and

of Mines Information Circular 7718 or the U. 5. Public HeaTth Service Smoke
Inspection Guide as deacribed in the Federal Register, Title 42, Chapter 1�
Subchapter F, Part 75, shall be used in grading the shade or opacity of visible
air contaminant emissions. The Executive Secretary may specify other meana
of ineasurement which give comparable result.s or resulta of greater accuracy.
The two publications described in this subsection are hereby made a part of this
regulation by reference.
SECTION 6. Emission of Dense Smoke Prohibited. It shall be
unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to permit the emission of

that density described as No. 2 on the Ringlemann Chart, published by
the United States Bureau of Mines, the standards of which are hereby fully
adopted by the enactment of this Ordinance and set forth in full in Section
herein. The emission of such dense smoke is declared to be a
