Section Env-A 2003.01 - Particulate Emission Standards for Fuel Burning Devices Installed on or before May 13, 1970(a) The maximum allowable particulate matter emission rate for fuel burning devices installed on or before May 13, 1970 shall be as specified in accordance with (b), below, where: (1) "E" means the maximum allowable particulate matter emission rate, measured as total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in lb/million BTU; and(2) "I" means the maximum gross heat input rate in million BTU/hr.(b) No owner or operator shall cause or allow emissions of particulate matter from fuel burning devices installed on or before May 13, 1970, to exceed the specified value of E, where: (1) For devices for which I is less than 10, E shall be 0.60;(2) For devices for which I is equal to or greater than 10,000, E shall be 0.19; and(3) For devices for which I is equal to or greater than 10 but less than 10,000, E shall be calculated by raising I to the -0.166 power and multiplying the result by 0.880, as expressed mathematically in the formula below and as illustrated in Figure 2003-1, below: E = 0.880 I-0.166
