(1) Manually fired equipment shall not be installed as new or replacement equipment, except for the burning of anthracite, coke, or smokeless fuel.

(2) (i) For new units, except during startup, cleaning of fires, or soot blowing, the density of any emission to the atmosphere shall not exceed No. 1 on the Ringelmann Scale or the Smoke Inspection Guide.

(ii) For existing units, except during startup, cleaning of fires, or soot blowing, the density of any emission to the atmosphere shall not exceed No. 2 on the Ringelmann Scale or Smoke Inspection Guide.

(4) During routine operation, the emission of particles larger than 60 microns shall not normally occur.

(5) Means shall be provided in all newly constructed units and wherever practicable in existing units to allow the periodic measurement of fly ash and other particulate matter.

(6) All new or replacement spreader stoker installations shall be of a type that automatically discharges ashes to the ash pit either continuously or in very frequent small increments, and flyash shall be reinjected only from boiler passes.

(ii) In the Chicago Standard Consolidated Area and in the Philadelphia Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, the emission rate of sulfur oxides (calculated as sulfur dioxide) from fuels used in combusion units shall not exceed a maximum emission rate of 0.65 pounds per million B.t.u. (gross value) heat input.

(2) If compliance with the above emission standard is to be accomplished by means of controlled fuel quality, the agency responsible for each Federal facility in the designated areas shall establish appropriate fuel specifications

sulfur content of fuels shall be determined in accordance with current recognized testing procedures of the American Society for Testing and Materials. The sulfur content of the flue gases shall be determined in accordance with current recognized testing procedures of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

(3) The limitations and measures established in subparagrah (1) of this paragraph shall be revised or amended only after consultation with appropriate Federal, State, and local officials and affected parties. Not less than 30 days prior to prescribing such revised or amended limits or measures, the Secretary will publish in the FEDERAL REGISTER notice of his intention to adopt such limits or measures, and will thereafter publish in the FEDERAL REGISTER the limits or measures established. The Secretary may at any time designate other urban areas which suffer from extremely high air pollution levels, and after similar consultation, and publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER, prescribe such limits or measures as he determines are necessary to carry out the intent of Executive Order 11282.

(d) The emission of the oxides of sulfur the atmosphere shall be monitored at regular intervals by determining the sulfur content of the fuel used or by determining the sulfur content of flue gases. [31 F.R. 7902, June 3, 1966, as amended at 32 F.R. 4415, Mar. 23, 1967] § 76.6

Stacks.

For buildings or facilities in nonurbanized areas, the particle emission standards of 76.4(a) (7) and (8) may be revised for an individual installation by an amount to be determined by the Secretary, when:

(a) The stack height exceeds by 22 times the height of the highest building in that area, and

(b) The pollution level in any area will not be significantly increased thereby. For large plants the determination of chimney height shall be based on air quality criteria, land use, and meteor

ological, topographical, aesthetic, and operating factors.

§ 76.7 Storage and handling of fuels and ash.

(a) Solid fuels and ash shall be stored and handled so as not to release to the atmosphere dust in significant quantities.

(b) In quantities of 40,000 gallons or more, gasoline or any volatile petroleum distillate or organic liquid having a vapor pressure of 1.5 p.s.i.a. or greater under actual storage conditions shall be stored in pressure tanks or reservoirs or shall be stored in containers equipped with a floating roof or vapor recovery system or other vapor emission control device.

(c) Stationary gasoline storage tanks with a capacity of 250 gallons or more shall be equipped with either submerged filling inlets or with vapor recovery or emission control systems such that loss of vapor to the atmosphere during filling operations shall be minimized.

(d) Gasoline or petroleum distillate tank car or tank truck loading facilities handling 20,000 gallons per day or more shall be equiped with submersible filling arms or other vapor emission control systems.

§ 76.8 Disposal of refuse.

(a) Refuse shall not be burned in open fires in urban areas. In nonurban areas there shall not be burned in open fires, within a 24-hour period, more than 25 pounds of material at a single site nor more than 500 pounds of material at any number of sites within a 1-mile radius, except that these quantities may be exceeded when the open burning occurs at diverse sites such as are associated with railroad rights-of-way, interurban highways, irrigation canals, forests, agricultural operations, etc. Deteriorated or unused explosives, munitions, and certain hazardous materials may be burned in open fires, in accordance with recognized procedures. Refuse shall not be left in dumps without being covered with inert matter within a reasonably short time.

(b) Refuse shall be incinerated only in facilities specially designed for that purpose. Incinerators shall meet the emission visibility standards of § 76.4 (a) (2) and (a) (3). In addition, for installations burning 200 pounds of refuse or more per hour, emissions shall not exceed 0.2 grain of particulate matter per standard cubic foot of dry flue gas corrected to 12 percent carbon dioxide (without the contri

bution of auxiliary fuel), and shall not normally include particles larger than 60 microns. For installations burning fewer than 200 pounds of refuse per hour, emissions shall not exceed 0.3 grain of particulate matter per standard cubic foot of dry flue gas corrected to 12 percent carbon dioxide (without the contribution of auxiliary fuel).

§ 76.9 Other pollution producing proc

esses.

For dusts, fumes, or gases from any process not heretofore described, except for discharges of radioactive effluents regulated by the Atomic Energy Commission, whatever measures may be necessary to comply with the intent of these regulations shall be applied. This will generally require the installation of equipment or devices to minimize such emissions to the point where they will meet the standards contained in these regulations. For processes which emit toxic substances in quantities which might endanger health or welfare and for fires which emit smoke or fumes at official firefighting schools, the appropriate department, agency, or establishment shall seek special advice from the Secretary.

(NOTE: The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare will, from time to time, and after consultation with industries concerned, issue "Guides of Good Practice" for specific operations to aid Federal departments, agencies, and establishments in the selection of equipment and methods for meeting the performance standards. For emissions not covered herein, or for which there have been issued no applicable "Guides of Good Practice," the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare will provide technical material and consultation to departments, agencies, and establishments requesting such assistance. Requests for "Guides of Good Practice," technical material, or consultation should be directed either to the Federal Facilities Section, Abatement Branch, Division of Air Pollution, Public Health Service, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D.C. 20201, or to the appropriate Regional Air Pollution Program Director of the Public Health Service located in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Regional Offices.)
