RULE 404-A - PARTICULATE MATTER
(Adopted 9/05/74; Revised 2/09/81)

1. Concentration

A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever, particulate matter in excess of 0.3 grain per standard dry cubic foot of exhaust gas.

2. Process Weight: A person shall not discharge in any one hour from any source whatsoever, particulate matter in excess of the amount shown in Table II.

* Sum of emissions from all emission points of process

3. Geothermal Well Drilling

A person shall not discharge particulates into the atmosphere from any geothermal steam source in excess of the quantity established by the following formula:

y = .00069X + 1.4

where:

y = is the particulate emission rate limitation in kilograms per hour (averaged over one hour) and X is the steam rate in kilograms per hour passing through a geothermal well drilling operation or an geothermal well being vented for clean out.
