Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

Section 7:27-6.2 - Standard for the emission of particles

(a) No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit particles as measured by the performance test principles set forth in section 3 of this subchapter to be emitted from any source operation, except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, through any stack or chimney into the outdoor air in excess of the maximum allowable emission rate as determined below:

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE EMISSION RATE FOR PARTICLES
1	2	3	4
Potential	Allowable	Source Gas Emitted	Allowable
Emission Rate	Emission Rate	from Source Operation	Emission Rate
from Source	(lbs. per hr.)	(Standard cu. ft.	(lbs. per hr.)
Operation (lbs.	Based on 99%	per min.)	Based on 0.02
per hr.)	efficiency of	grains per SCF.
Collection.
50 or less	0.5	3,000 or less	0.5
100	1.0	6,000	1.0
1000	10.0	35,000	6.0
2000	20.0	70,000	12.0
3000 or greater	30.0	140,000	24.0
175,000 or greater	30.0
Instructions:
1. From columns 1 and 2 above, determine the allowable emission rate based
upon the potential emission rate of particles from the source operation as
measured by the performance test principles set forth in subsections 3(a)
and 3(b) of this subchapter;
2. From columns 3 and 4 above, determine the allowable emission rate based
upon the source gas emitted from the source operation. Whenever dilution
gas is, for any purpose, added to the source gas from a source operation,
the source gas emitted shall be considered to be the gas discharge rate
prior to such dilution;
3. The greater of the two emission rates as determined from 1 and 2 above
shall be the maximum allowable emission rate. For rates between any two
consecutive values stated in columns 1 and 3, the corresponding allowable
emission rates shall be as determined by interpolation.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall not apply to any glass manufacturing furnace. Such furnace(s) shall be subject to the following:

1. No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit particles as measured by the performance test principles set forth in section 3(a) and (b) of this subchapter to be emitted from any glass manufacturing furnace through any stack or chimney into the outdoor air in excess of the maximum allowable emission rate, as determined from the equation below:

i.	A	=	5 + (.48 x W);
ii.	A	=	maximum allowable emission rate (lbs. per hr.);
iii.	W	=	process weight per hour (tons per hr.).

(c) The provisions of subsection (b) of this section and section 5(b) of this subchapter shall not apply to any glass manufacturing furnace used for the production of lead glass.

(d) No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit particles to be emitted from any stack or chimney into the outdoor air the shade or appearance of which is greater than 20 per cent opacity, exclusive of visible condensed water vapor.

(e) The provisions of subsection (d) of this section shall not apply to particles the shade or appearance of which is greater than 20 per cent opacity, exclusive of visible condensed water vapor, for a period of not longer than three minutes in any consecutive 30-minute period.

(f) If a paint spray operation meets the definition of a significant source operation under N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 or 22, as applicable, and the operation is constructed, reconstructed, installed, or modified on or after March 31, 1991, the operation shall, at a minimum, be served by particulate control apparatus.
