2.2 The provisions of Section 2.1 shall not apply to:

(a) Smoke emitted during the cleaning of a fire box or the building of a new fire, the shade or appearance of which is not darker than No. 3 of the Ringelmann Smoke Chart for a period or periods aggregating no more than 3 minutes in any 15 consecutive minutes.

(b) Smoke from locomotives the shade or appearance of which is equal to but not darker than No. 3 of the Ringelmann Smoke Chart for a period or periods aggregating no more than 30 seconds in any 3 consecutive minutes, or smoke of said density for a period or periods aggregating no more than 4 minutes in any 15 consecutive minutes when building a new fire.

(c) Smoke resulting from any fire ignited solely for the purpose of training or research in fire protection or prevention.

CHAPTER V

CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF AIR POLLUTION

FROM COMBUSTION OF SOLID FUEL

[blocks in formation]

1.1 SOLID FUEL: shall mean a fuel which is fired as a solid, such as anthracite or semianthracite, bituminous or subbituminous coal, lignite, coke breeze, wood, or any solid by-product of a manufacturing process that may be substituted for any of the above specifically mentioned fuels.

1.2 FLY ASH: for the purposes of this Chapter shall mean particles of gas-borne solid matter arising from the combustion of solid fuel, and does not include process materials.

SECTION 2 CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF FLY ASH

2.1 No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit fly ash caused by the combustion of solid fuel to be discharged from any stack or chimney into the open air in excess of the quantity set forth in the following table:

[blocks in formation]

For the purposes hereof, the heat in solid fuel burned shall be the aggregate heat content, based on the higher heating value, of all solid fuels whose products of combustion pass through such stack or chimney. For a heat content between any two consecutive heat contents stated in this table, the fly ash limitation shall be as determined by interpolation.

2.2

(a) Persons burning solid fuel, whose products of combustion are discharged into the open air from a stack or chimney, shall submit to the State Department of Health information for each such stack or chimney relating to place, type of fuel burned, heat in fuel burned, quantity of fuel burned per hour, description of combustion equipment, period of operation, height and size of outlet, and description of dust-removal equipment, on forms provided for that purpose by the State. Department of Health.

2.2 (b) Such information shall be submitted to the State Department of Health in the case of existing installations within 90 days from the effective date of this Chapter and in the case of new or altered installations within 90 days after being placed in service. From time to time, additional reports concerning these items may be requested by the Commission.

2.3 The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply:

1.1

2.1

2.2

(a) when the heat in solid fuel burned is less than one million British thermal units per hour, nor

(b) to marine installations, vehicles, or other movable or portable equipment.

[blocks in formation]

ECONOMIC POISONS: shall mean those chemicals used as insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, nematocides or defoliants.

[merged small][ocr errors]

No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit to be emitted into the outdoor atmosphere substances in quantities which shall result in air pollution.

The provisions of Section 2.1 shall not apply to:

(a) any condition or occurrence which is subject to the provisions of existing or future code chapters promulgated by the Commission.

(b) the use of economic poisons.

NOTICE OF HEARING RELATIVE TO ADOPTION
OF CHAPTER VII OF CODE

NEW JERSEY STATE

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

TAKE NOTICE, that the AIR POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION of the STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH will hold a public hearing on a proposed new CHAPTER of the NEW JERSEY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL CODE on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1964, beginning at 10:00 A. M. at the WAR MEMORIAL BUILDING, VETERANS ROOM, STACY PARK, TRENTON, NEW JERSEY, pursuant to the provisions of CHAPTER 212, SECTION 8, of the PAMPHLET LAWS of 1954 (N. J. S. A. 26:2C-8).

It is recommended that at the time of the public hearing or prior thereto, a brief or briefs be submitted to the AIR POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION on all matters desired to be brought to the attention of said COMMISSION concerning the provisions of the proposed new CHAPTER of the NEW JERSEY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL CODE.

The text of the CHAPTER to be considered in said public hearing is as follows:

NEW JERSEY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL CODE

CHAPTER VII

CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF AIR POLLUTION
FROM SOLID PARTICLES

Section 1

1.1

1.2

1.3

DEFINITIONS

AIR CONTAMINANTS: Coarse and fine solid particles, liquid
particles, vapors or gases which are discharged into the
outdoor atmosphere.

SOLID PARTICLES: Particles of rigid shape and definite volume.

COARSE SOLID PARTICLES: Solid particles having a size equal to or greater than 44 microns and solid particles when such particles are contained in or on liquid particles.

1.4

1.5

1.6

1.7

1.8

1.9

FINE SOLID PARTICLES: Solid particles, including fumes,
having a size less than 44 microns.

LIQUID PARTICLES: Particles which have volume but are not
of rigid shape and which upon collection tend to coalesce and
create uniform homogeneous films upon the surface of the
collecting media.

FUME: Solid particles generated by condensation from the vapor
state, generally after volatilization from molten metals, etc.

GASES: Formless fluids which, under standard conditions, occupy the space of enclosure and which can be changed to the liquid or solid state only by the combined effect of increased pressure and decreased temperature.

VAPORS: The gaseous form of substances which, under standard conditions, are in the solid or liquid state and which can be changed to these states by either increasing the pressure or decreasing the temperature.

STANDARD CONDITIONS: Shall be 70°F and one atmosphere
pressure (14. 7 psia or 760 mm Hg).

1.10 EFFECT FACTOR: A value assigned to an air contaminant in the form of a numerical modifier which when multiplied by the basic emission yields the allowable emission.

1.11 BASIC EMISSION: The emission in pounds per hour computed from basic emission charts.

1.12 ALLOWABLE EMISSION: The basic emission as modified by the effect factor.

1. 13 STACK OR CHIMNEY: A flue, conduit or opening permitting particulate or gaseous emissions into the open air, or constructed or arranged for such purpose.

1. 14 DISTANCE FROM STACK TO NEAREST PROPERTY LINE:
The horizontal distance measured in feet from the centerline of
a stack or chimney to the nearest land which is not owned or
controlled by the person emitting air contaminants from such
stack or chimney. In cases where property lines are adjacent
to streets, highways, railroads, pipe lines, power lines, or
other rights-of-way, rivers or lakes, the measurement may
be extended to the far side of such areas.
