Chapter 15.48 INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS CODE
Section 15.48.120 Smoke, odorous matter and toxic matter.
The following minimum smoke, odorous matter and toxic matter
standards must be complied
with:
A. The density of emission of smoke
during normal operations shall not exceed Standard
Smoke Chart No. 2, and the quantity of smoke shall not exceed a maximum of ten smoke units
per hour per stack.
B. The maximum permitted emission
of dust relating to combustion for indirect heating from
any source shall not exceed the maximum number of pounds of dust per million British Thermal
Units heat input per hour as follows:
The maximum permitted emission shall be 0.50 pounds per minimum
size plants producing a
heat input of ten million or less British Thermal Units per hour and 0.15 for maximum size plants
producing a heat input of ten million or more British Thermal Units per hour. All intermediate
values shall be determined from a straight line plotted on log graph paper.
C. The emission into the atmosphere
of process dust or other particulate matter which is
unrelated to combustion for indirect heating or incineration shall not exceed .050 pounds per one
hundred (100) pounds of process weight or fifty (50) pounds for one hundred thousand (100,000)
pounds of process weight. All intermediate values shall be determined from a straight line plotted
on log graph paper.
D. The emission of odorous matter
in such quantities as to be readily detectable at any point
along lot lines or to produce a public nuisance or hazard beyond lot lines is prohibited.
E. The emission of toxic or noxious
matter, whether solid, liquid or gaseous shall be so
controlled that no concentration at or beyond lot lines shall be detrimental to or endanger the
public health, safety, comfort and other aspects of the general welfare, or cause damage or injury
to property. (Prior code § 19-1-12)
