001.02 No person will cause or allow particulate matter caused by the combustion of fuel to be emitted from any stack or chimney into the outdoor atmosphere in excess of the hourly rate set forth in Table 15-2.

001.03 For the purpose of these regulations, the total heat input will be the aggregate heat content of all fuels whose products of combustion pass through a stack or chimney, or the equipment manufacturer's or designer's guaranteed maximum input, whichever is greater. The total heat input of all fuel burning units at a plant or on a premises will be used for determining the maximum allowable amount of particulate matter which may be emitted.
001.04 No person will cause or allow emissions, from any source, which are of an opacity equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%), as evaluated by an EPA-approved method, or recorded by a continuous opacity monitoring system operated and maintained pursuant to 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B except as provided for in Section 001.05 of this Chapter. Administrator, as used in 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B, means Administrator of EPA.
001.05 Exceptions:
001.06 Section 001.01 and 001.02 of this Chapter applies unless a more stringent particulate matter standard is specified in the underlying requirements of an applicable federal regulation, is specified within a construction permit issued pursuant to this Title, or the potential-to-emit is below the rates allowed in Section 001.01 of this Chapter.
