(ii) The emissions are not preventing or interfering with the attainment or maintenance of an ambient air quality standard.

(b) The Permittee may not permit fugitive particulate matter from a source specified in paragraphs 1(a)(1)-1(a)(6) if the emissions are visible at the point the emissions pass outside the facility’s property. In addition, the Permittee shall take all reasonable actions to prevent particulate matter emitted from a source identified in paragraphs 1(a)(1)-1(a)(6) from becoming airborne. These actions include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Equal to or greater than 20% for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any one hour.

(2) Equal to or greater than 60% at any time.

(b) These emission limitations do not apply when: [25 Pa Code §123.42]

(1) The presence of uncombined water is the only reason for failure of the emission to meet the limitations.

Grades Commercial Fuel Oil

No. 2 and lighter oil 0.0015% (15 ppm)

No. 4 oil 0.2500% (2500 ppm)

No. 5, No. 6 and heavier oil 0.5000% (5000 ppm)

(2) No. 2 grade commercial fuel oil that was stored by the ultimate consumer at its Facility prior to July 1, 2015, and that met the applicable maximum allowable sulfur content for commercial fuel oil through June 30, 2015 at the time it was stored, may be used by the ultimate consumer at its Facility on and after July 1, 2015, provided that all of the following shall apply:

(i) Any such ultimate consumer demonstrates to the Department, by means of written records (including but not limited to documentation from fuel suppliers), that any fuel oil delivered to the Facility after April 1, 2015 met the sulfur content standard effective July 1, 2015 under this Section 3-207, which records shall be maintained until July 1, 2016, or until such time as the consumer no longer relies on the exemption in subsection 3-207(c) or (d), whichever is later;

(ii) Any such fuel oil may only be used at the Facility where such fuel oil was delivered and stored on or before June 30, 2015; and
