Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
Particulates. (a) No person shall construct, install, use or cause to be used any new incinerator or alter and use or alter and cause to be used any existing incinerator which will emit more than four-tenths pound of particulates per one thousand pounds of flue gasses adjusted to fifty per cent excess air.
(b) Three years from April 12, 1969, no person shall use or cause to be used any existing incinerator which will emit more than four-tenths pound of particulates per one thousand pounds of flue gasses adjusted to fifty per cent excess air.
Smoke. No person, including industrial and commercial establishments, shall cause or allow emissions of one or more air contaminants darker in shade than that designated as No. 2 Ringelmann, except that emissions not darker than No. 3 Ringelmann are permitted for not more than a total of five minutes in any one period of sixty minutes.
Unburned waste and ash. No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit the emission of particulates of unburned waste or ash from any incinerator which are individually large enough to be discernible by the human eye.
Odors. No person shall construct, install, use or cause to be used any incinerator which will result in odors that are either annoying or harmful to health in any area of normal human use or occupancy.
Demonstration of compliance for particulate emissions. When visual evidence or complaints indicate that an incinerator is being operated in violation of this regulation, the commissioner may undertake air sampling measurements of the particulate effluents emanating from that incinerator. Any person responsible for the construction, installation, alteration or use of such incinerator shall, when ordered by the commissioner, provide the facilities and necessary proper accessibility for determining the quantity of particulates being discharged from the stack or chimney. In lieu of such tests, the commissioner may accept results of samples collected during routine operation. All such sampling data shall be recorded in a permanent log as specified by the commissioner. The data shall be maintained for a period of not less than one year and shall be available for review by the commissioner.
