REGULATIONS III - INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

RULE 1 Immediate Correction

When in the opinion of the Director an air pollution control ordinance violation caused by internal combustion engine equipment requires immediate correction, the person liable for the equipment shall be notified promptly to expedite the appropriate maintenance and repair.

RULE 2 Public Transportation Terminus Points

Whenever any public transportation automotive power equipment lays over at a terminus point for greater than five (5) minutes, the engine shall be turned off. This rule shall apply when outside air temperatures do not fall below twenty degrees Fahrenheit (20°F) above zero unless the equipment is disabled and it is necessary to continue operation.

[blocks in formation]

The Director is hereby authorized to conduct, or cause to be conducted, any test or tests of any new or existing process equipment the operation of which, in his opinion, can be expected to result in emissions in excess of the limitations in the Milwaukee County Air Pollution Control Ordinance, or when, in his judgment, there is evidence that any such process equipment is exceeding any emission limitation prescribed in said ordinance. Upon notification by the Director that performance emission tests are considered necessary, a person may elect to conduct such tests himself. In this event, the person shall notify the Director of this decision and of the time and date of such testing. The Director, or his representative, may witness such testing. All tests so conducted shall be in a manner acceptable to the Director and a complete detailed test report of such tests shall be submitted to the Director.

RULE 2 Departmental Tests

Nothing in these Rules and Regulations concerning tests conducted by and paid for by any person or his authorized agent shall be deemed to abridge the rights of the Director or his representatives to conduct separate or additional tests of any process equipment on behalf of Milwaukee County Department of Air Pollution Control at a time which is mutually agreeable and at the Department's expense, except as in Rule 3 of this Regulation below.

RULE 3 Test Openings, Scaffolding and Facilities

When tests of existing process equipment are deemed necessary by the Director and the person does not elect to conduct such tests himself, he shall at his expense provide test openings, access scaffolding and other pertinent facilities as requested by the Director. If he refuses to supply the requested test openings, access scaffolding and other pertinent facilities, the Director shall notify such person to show cause before the Director on a day certain, not less than ten nor more than twenty days from the day of notice, why the equipment shall not be sealed. The results of all tests conducted by the Director
