RULE 42. (Amended 3-14-63) HEARING BOARD FEES. a. plicant or petitioner for variance, or for the extension, revocation or modification of a variance, or for an appeal from deni al or conditional approval of an authority to construct, permit to operate or permit to sell or rent, except any state or local governmental agency or public district, shall pay to the Clerk of the Hearing Board, on filing, a fee in the sum of $16.50. It is hereby determined that the cost of administration of Article 5, Chapter 2, Division 20, Health and Safety Code, or Rule 25 of these Rules and Regulations, exceeds $16.50 per petition.

b. (Amended 3-14-63) Any person requesting a transcript of the hearing shall pay the cost of such transcript.

c. This rule shall not apply to petitions filed by the Air Pollution Control Officer.

RULE 43. ANALYSIS FEES. Whenever the Air Pollution Control Officer finds that an analysis of the emission from any source is necessary to determine the extent and amount of pollutants being discharged into the atmosphere which cannot be determined by visual observatior, he may order the collection of samples and the analysis made by qualified personnel of the Air Pollution Control District. The time required for collecting samples, making the analysis and preparing the necessary reports, but excluding time required in going to and from such premises shall be charged against the owner wner or operator of said premises in a reasonable sum to be determined by the Air Pollution Control Officer, which said sum is not to exceed the actual cost of such work.

RULE 44. TECHNICAL REPORTS - CHARGES FOR: Information, circulars, reports of technical work, and other reports prepared by the Air Pollution Control District when supplied to other governmental agencies or individuals or groups requesting copies of the same may be charged for by the District in a sum not to exceed the cost of preparation and distribution of such documents. All such monies collected shall be turned into the general funds of the said District.

REGULATION IV. PROHIBITIONS.

RULE 50. RINGELMANN CHART. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any air contaminant for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour which is:

a. As dark or darker in shade as that designated as No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart, as published by the United States Bureau of

Mines, or

b. Of such opacity as to obscure an observer's view to a degree equal to or greater than does smoke described in subsection (a) of this Rule.

RULE 51. NUISANCE. A person shall not discharge from any Source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public or which cause or have a natural tendency to cau se injury or damage to business or property.

RULE 52. (Amended 1-16-58) PARTICULATE MATTER. Except as otherwise provided in Rules 53 and 54, a person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any source particulate matter in excess of 0.4 grain per cubic foot of gas at standard conditions.

RULE 53. (Amended 1-16-58) SPECIFIC CONTAMINANTS. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any single source of emission whatsoever any one or more of the following contaminants, in n any state or combination thereof, exceeding in concentration at the point of discharge:

a. Sulphur Compounds calculated as sulphur dioxide (SO2): 0.2 per cent, by volume.

0.3 grain per

b. (Amended 1-16-58) Combustion Contaminants: cubic foot of gas calculated to 12 per cent of carbon dioxide (CO2) at standard conditions. In measuring the combustion contaminants from incinerators used to dispose of combustible refuse by burning, the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by combustion of any liquid or gaseous fuels shall be excluded from the calculation to 12 per cent of carbon dioxide (CO2).

RULE 53.1. SCAVENGER PLANTS. Where a separate source of air pollution is a scavenger or recovery plant, recovering pollutants which would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere, the Air Pollution Control Officer may grant a permit to operate where the total emission of pollutants is substantially less with the plant in operation than when closed, even though the concentration exceeds that permitted by Rule 53 (a). The Air Pollution Control Officer shall report immediately in writing to the Air Pollution Control Board the granting of any such permit, together with the facts and reasons therefor.

RULE 54. DUST AND FUMES. A person shall not discharge in any one hour from any source whatsoever dust or fumes in total quantities in excess of the amount shown in the following table: (see next page)

To use the following table, take the process weight per hour as such is defined in Rule 2(j). Then find this figure on the table, opposite which is the maximum number of pounds of contaminants which may be discharged into the atmosphere in any one hour. As an example, if A has a process which emits contaminants into the atmosphere and which process takes 3 hours to complete, he will divide the weight of all materials in the specific process, in this example, 1,500 lbs. by 3 giving a process weight per hour of 500 lbs. The table shows that A may not discharge more than 1.77 lbs. in any one hour during the process. Where the process weight per hour falls between figures in the left hand column, the exact weight of permitted discharge may be interpolated.
