Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-05-.06 – Wood-fired Fuel Burning Equipment

(1) Wood-fired fuel burning equipment, which commenced operation before March 1, 1978, with a heat input of 100 million Btu/hr or greater must meet an emission limit of forty (40) percent opacity except for four six (6) minute periods per day not to exceed one six (6) minute period per hour.
(2) Wood-fired fuel burning equipment, subject to Rule 1200-03-06-.05(1)(a), (c), (d), (e), or (2) must meet an emission limit of twenty (20) percent opacity except for one six (6) minute period per hour.
(3) Wood-fired fuel burning equipment subject to Rule 1200-03-06-.05(8)(d) must meet an emission limit of forty (40) percent opacity except for one six (6) minute period per hour.
(4) Opacity for purposes of this rule shall be determined by the reference method as specified in the Federal Register, Vol. 39, No. 219, November 12, 1974.
(5) Other emission sources constructed on or after June 16, 1978, that exhaust through the same stack as wood-fired fuel burning equipment subject to Rule 1200-03-05-.06 shall meet an opacity standard where V is: 40.0 VW + (x) VR V= ___________________ VW + VR Where, V = opacity standard in percent opacity, six (6) minute average. X = opacity standard in percent opacity that applies to other sources or sources discharging through same stack. VW = exhaust flow rate in dry standard cubic feet per minute from the wood-fired fuel burning equipment and other equipment present before June 16, 1978. VR = exhaust flow rate in dry standard cubic feet per minute from the equipment (not being wood-fired fuel burning equipment) constructed so as to exhaust through the stack and commenced on or after June 16, 1978.
(6) This rule does not apply in Davidson, Hamilton, Knox, and Shelby Counties but facilities in these counties will be subject to Rule 1200-03-05-.01.
