Section 335-3-4-.06 - Cotton Gins

(1) No person shall cause or permit the emission of particulate matter in any one (1) hour from any cotton gin operation in excess of the amount shown in Table 4-4 for the process weight per hour allocated to such operation. Particulate matter emissions subject to this Rule include process emissions and incinerator emissions if any; provided, however, that this shall in no way relieve or affect the application of Chapter 335-3-3 to open burning and incineration at cotton gin operations.

(2) Where the nature of any process or operation or the design of any equipment is such as to permit more than one interpretation of this Rule, the interpretation that results in the minimum value for allowable emission shall apply.

(3) For purposes of this Rule, the total process weight from all similar process units at a plant or premises shall be used for determining the maximum allowable emission of particulate matter that passes through a stack or stacks.
