INTRODUCTION
ğ
This document has been produced in compliance with Section llO(h)O)
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977- TherFederal ly enforceable^
regulations contained in the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands). They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as Indicated In the Federal
Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
indicated in the Federal Register. Regulations which fall into one of
the above categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated. As
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually. State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.
There have been recent changes 1n the Federal enforceabillty of
parking management regulations and Indirect source regulations. The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing legislation. Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended Indefinitely. Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act~Amendments, Indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP. Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source regulations contained In an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable. More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which are specific to Federally
funded, operated, or owned facilities or projects. Therefore, the
Federally promulgated--indirect source regulations appearing in this
document are not enforceable by EPA except as they relate to Federal
facilities.
Since State air quality regulations vary widely in their organization,
content, and language, a standardized subject Index is utilized in this
document. Index listings consist of both contaminant and activity oriented
categories to facilitate usage. For example, for regulations which apply
to copper smelters, one might look under sulfur compounds (50.2), particu-
late matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters (51.15). Federal
regulations pertaining to a given State Immediately follow the approved
State and local regulations.
Additionally, a summary sheet of the information included in each
comprehensive document is presented prior to the regulatory text to
allow one to quickly assess the contents of the document. Specifically,
the summary sheets contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision
Hi
-------
to the SIP and the date of the Federal Register 1n which the revision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA"YFinally., a brief description
or reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.
This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given regulation. As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation of those regulations
which are incorporated directly or by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code of Federal Regulatibns. Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation. Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this
document does not, in itself, render the regulation enforceable.

ltural operations constructed prior to the enactment of these
Regulations, no person shall discharge into the atmosphere from
any source particulate matter in excess of 0.3 grains per cubic
foot of gas at standard conditions. When the source involves a
combustion process, the concentration must be calculated to
12 percent carbon dioxide (COg). In measuring the combustion
contaminants from incinerators used to dispose of combustible
refuse by burning, the carbon dioxide (C02) produced by combustion
of any liquid or gaseous fuels shall be excluded from the cal-
culation to 12 percent of carbon dioxide

To use the table, take the process weight per hour as such Is
defined in Section 2 of these Regulations. Then find this
figure on the table, opposite which 1s the maximum number of
pounds of contaminants which may be dishcarged into the
atmopshere 1n any one hour. As an example, if A has a process
which emits contaminants Into the atmosphere and which process
takes 4 hours to complete, he will divide the weight of all
materials 1n the specific process, 1n this example, 2,400 Ibs.
by 4 giving a process weight per hour of 600 Ibs. The table
shows that A may not discharge more, than 1.83 Ibs. in any one
hour during the process. Interpolation of the data in the
table for process weights up to 60,000 pounds/hour shall be
accomplished by use of the equation:
E = 4.10 P0'67
and interpoltation and extrapolation of the data for process
weight rates in excess of 60,000 pounds/hour shall be accom-
plished by use of the equation:
E = 55.0 P0*11 - 40
E = Rate of emission in pounds/hour.

that Regulation shall not apply. The burden of proof
which establishes the application of the Regulation, shall
be upon the person seeking to come within its provisions.
SEPARATION OF EMISSIONS. If air contaminants from a single source
operation are emitted through two or more emission points, the
total emitted quantity of any air contaminant limited in this
Regulation cannot exceed the quantity which would be the allowable
emission through a single emission point, the total emitted
quantity of any such air contaminant shall be taken as the
product of the highest concentration measured in any of the
emission points and the combined exhaust gas volume from all
emission points, unless the person responsible for the source
operation establishes, to the satisfaction of the Air Pollution
Control Officer, the correct total emitted quantity.
COMBINATION OF EMISSIONS.
(a) If air contaminants from two or more source operations
are combined prior to emission and there are adequate and
reliable means reasonably susceptible to confirmation and
use by the Air Pollution Control Officer for establishing a
separation of the components of the combined emission to
indicate the nature, extent, quantity and degree of emission
arising from each such source operation, then all of the
applicable prohibitions shall apply to each such source
operation separately.
(b) If air contaminants from two or more source operations are
combined prior to emission, and the combined emissions
cannot be separated according to the requirements of Part A
of the prohibition, then all applicable prohibitions shall
be applied to the combined emission as if 1t originated in
a single source operation, subject to the most stringent
limitations and requirements placed by these prohibitions
on any of the source operations whose air contaminants are
so combined.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED. The Board at any time may require from any
person such information or analysis as will disclose the nature,
extent, quantity or degree of air contaminants which are or may
be discharged by such source, and may require that such disclo-
sures be certified by a professional engineer registered in the
State. In the event the findings show that no excess contaminants
are in fact being discharged, then the Air Pollution Control
District shall be responsible for the entire cost of the investi-
gation.
