(a) Emissions of any air contaminant from any wood waste burner discharged into the atmosphere for a period or periods aggregating more than 6 minutes in any one hour shall not exceed:

  • (i) An opacity of 20 percent as determined by a qualified observer.

(b) Operational requirements for all wood waste burners shall include:

  • (i) A thermocouple and recording pyrometer or other temperature measurement and recording device approved by the Division shall be installed and maintained;
  • (ii) A daily written log of the wood waste burner operation shall be maintained to determine optimum operational patterns for different fuel and atmospheric conditions. Such log shall include, but not be limited to, the time of day, draft settings, exit gas temperature, type of fuel, and atmospheric conditions. It must be shown that there is adequate time and responsibility delegated for proper burner maintenance, operation, and control; such log or a copy shall be made available to the Division within 10 days upon request;
  • (iii) Asphaltic materials, rubber products, or materials which cause dense smoke discharges shall not be burned or disposed in wood waste burners;
  • (iv) Continuous flow conveying methods shall be utilized to convey process wood waste to the combustion chamber of the wood waste burners.

(c) During startup and building of fires, in wood waste burners, the particulate, opacity, and darkness limits specified in this regulation may be exceeded for not more than 60 minutes in eight hours. Materials prohibited in Subsection (b)(iii) shall not be used for startup and building of fires in wood waste burners.

(d) The Administrator may waive the temperature monitoring and recordkeeping requirements of Subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) upon written request of the owner or operator, provided the owner or operator adequately demonstrates operational practices which satisfy the other requirements of this regulation. Any waiver granted under this paragraph may be revoked should the Administrator determine that the operational requirements of Subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) should be reinstated in order to achieve compliance with other provisions of this regulation.
