W. Va. Code R. § 45-10-10

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 45-10-10 - Exemptions and Recommendations

10.1. Any fuel burning units having a design heat input under 10 million BTU's per hour will be exempt from section 3 and sections 6 through 8. However, failure to attain acceptable air quality in parts of some urban areas may require the mandatory control of these sources at a later date.

10.2. In an effort to avoid the necessity for such mandatory controls the Secretary strongly recommends that specific fuel quality objectives be met. In Priority I and Priority II regions and in cities in Priority III regions with a population of more than 10,000 (based on the latest census) the Secretary recommends that no person use or provide for sale fuel having a sulfur content greater than that listed in the following table (at the end of this rule) Table 45-10B for use in residential and other fuel burning units not otherwise restricted by this rule.

10.3. The owner or operator of a fuel burning unit(s) which combusts natural gas, wood or distillate oil, alone or in combination, shall be exempt from the requirements of section 8. Manufacturing operations in which the process is to partially combust wood during the manufacture of charcoal shall be exempt from the requirements of section 8.
