WAC 173-400-050 Emission standards for combustion and
incineration units. (1) Combustion and incineration emissions
units must meet all requirements of WAC 173-400-040 and, in

matter in excess of 0.23 gram per dry cubic meter at standard
conditions (0.1 grain/dscf), except, for an emissions unit
combusting wood derived fuels for the production of steam. No

procedures contained in "Source Test Manual - Procedures For
Compliance Testing," state of Washington, department of ecology, as

provisions of WAC 173-400-040 (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) and:
(i) No person shall cause or allow the emission for more than
three minutes, in any one hour, of an air contaminant from any
catalytic cracking unit which at the emission point, or within a
reasonable distance of the emission point, exceeds forty percent
opacity.
(ii) No person shall cause or allow the emission of
particulate material in excess of 0.46 grams per dry cubic meter at

040 and 173-400-050(1), except that emissions may exceed twenty
percent opacity for up to fifteen consecutive minutes once in any
eight hours. The intent of this provision is to allow soot blowing
and grate cleaning necessary to the operation of these units. This
practice is to be scheduled for the same specific times each day
and the permitting authority shall be notified of the schedule or
any changes
(3) Orchard heating.
(a) Burning of rubber materials, asphaltic products, crankcase
oil or petroleum wastes, plastic, or garbage is prohibited.
(b) It is unlawful to burn any material or operate any
orchard-heating device that causes a visible emission exceeding
twenty percent opacity, except during the first thirty minutes
after such device or material is ignited.

02. Standards for Exempted Sources. Except as provided in Section 626, for sources exempted from the provisions of this section, a person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any point of emission, for any air pollutant for a period or periods aggregating more than three (3) minutes in any sixty (60) minute period which is greater than forty percent (40%) opacity as determined by this section.
626.GENERAL RESTRICTIONS ON VISIBLE EMISSIONS FROM WIGWAM BURNERS.
Except for a period of one (1) hour following start up a person shall not discharge into the atmosphere from any wigwam burner any air pollutant for a period or periods aggregating more than three (3) minutes in any sixty (60) minute period which is greater than twenty percent (20%) opacity as determined by the procedures contained in Section 625.
04. Visible Emissions Standards for Roads and Stockpiles.
