N.M. Code R. § 20.2.43.116 – Gas Burning Boilers - Particulate Matter

A. No person owning or operating gas-burning boilers in conjunction with a gasification plant shall permit, cause, suffer or allow particulate matter emissions to the atmosphere in excess of 0.03 pounds per million British Thermal Units of heat input (lower heating value) to the boilers. For purposes of this section (20.2.43.116 NMAC) all gas-fired boilers will be considered as one unit for each gasification plant.
B. Particulate matter emissions governed by this section shall be determined by the method described in 36 Federal Register No. 247, p. 24888 (Dec. 23, 1971) where technically feasible. Where not technically feasible to use this method, samples shall consist of at least one cubic foot of gas and collected over a period of at least twenty minutes.
