(b) A person shall not cause or permit visible contaminant emissions from any indirect heating equipment which equals or exceeds the following opacities:

(1) Existing equipment: 40 percent opacity;

(2) New equipment: 20 percent opacity.

(c) A person responsible for operation of any indirect heating equipment having a heat input of 250 million BTU/hr or greater shall not cause or permit the emission of more than 3.0 pounds of sulfur dioxide per million BTU of heat input unless an alternative sulfur dioxide emission limit applicable to such indirect heating equipment is specified in a permit issued pursuant to K.A.R. 28-19-14.
