Section 1200-03-05-.04 - EXEMPTION(1) Visible emissions from fuel-burning equipment used exclusively to provide space heating in a building containing not more than two (2) dwelling units shall not be subject to the provisions of this chapter.(2) Unless the visible emission standard was set under the authority of paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of Rule 1200-03-05-.01, the visible emission standards of this chapter shall not apply where a source has an applicable visible emissions standard under Chapter 0400-30-39.(3) If the installation of an in-stack opacity monitor is required by a standard contained in Chapter 0400-30-39, then for an identical existing source to obtain the less restrictive opacity standard contained in Chapter 0400-30-39, the installation of an in-stack opacity monitor meeting the specifications contained in part (1)(d)1. of Rule 1200-03-10-.02 shall be required. For situations where the installation of an in-stack opacity monitor would be required to obtain an opacity standard for an existing source equivalent to that set forth for an identical new source subject to Chapter 0400-30-39, it is the responsibility of the source owner or operator to notify the Technical Secretary in writing that this revision to the source's existing opacity standard is requested and that the required in-stack opacity monitor will be installed in accordance with Rule 1200-03-10-.02.(4) The standards in this chapter shall not apply to fog obscurant screens generated for training purposes by the United States military on military bases. Provided that: (a) No hazardous air pollutants, as defined in Paragraph 1200-03-31-.02(6) of these Regulations, shall be used for the generation of the fog obscurant screens.(b) The fog obscurant screens shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 1200-03-08 and Paragraph 1200-03-09-.03(3) of these Regulations.Tenn.
