Section 1200-03-25-.05 - EMISSION STANDARDS(1) Particulate matter shall not be in excess of 0.1 grains per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust gas corrected to 12 percent CO2.(2) The Technical Secretary shall specify on the construction and/or operating permits as permit conditions, the hydrogen chloride (HCI) emission level that is reasonable available control technology (RACT) so that the air quality impact from a source shall not exceed 70.0 micrograms per cubic meter HCI, 24-hour average. The owner or operator of the infectious waste incinerator may choose to limit the operating hours of the source to meet the impact level.(3) Visible Emission Standards (a) No owner or operator subject to the provisions of this chapter shall cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from any affected facility any gases which exhibit greater than 10 percent opacity (6-minute average), except for one 6-minute period per hour of not more than 20 percent opacity. This opacity standard shall not apply to burner startups when only firing auxiliary fuel without waste being burned.(b) Visible determination of opacity of emissions shall be determined by Method 9 as specified in the Federal Register, Vol. 39, No. 219, November 12, 1974.Tenn.
