, MIlJN�SOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS
AND AIft POLLUTION eONTROL F{EGULATIONS
The followi.n� air qua].ity standards and emission regulations apply to any
� souroe or emission located partially or wholly within the state of Minnesota.
-� Regulations axe of general application throughout the state unless specifically
3ndicated otherwise by their context. The official policy and purpose of the
L,
state of Minnesota in regard to air quality control is set forth in Minnesota
Statutes 1967�
Section 116.07, Subd. 2. The pollu�ion control agency
, shall adopt standards of aa.r qua.lit;r, including maximwn
allowable standards of emi.ssion of air contaminants
from motor vehicles, recognizing that due to variable
factors, no single standard of purity of air is applicable
to all areas of the state. In adopting standards, the
pollution control agency shall give due recoonition to
the fact that the quantity or charactpristics of air
contamir.ants or the duration of their presence in the
atmosphere, which may cause air pollut�on in one area
oY the state, may cause less or not cause any air
pollution in another area of the state, and it shall
take into consideration in this connection such
factors, including others which it may deea� proper,
as existing physical conditions, zoning classifications,
topography, prevailing wind direction ar.d velocities,
and the fact that a standard of air quality which may
be proper as to an essentially residential area of the
state, may not be proper as to a highZy developed
industrial erea of the state. Such standards of air
quality shall be premised upon scientific knowledge of
causesas we11 as effects based on technical],y sub-
stantiated criteria and commonly accepted practices.
Subd. !�. Pursuant and sub�ect to the provisions of
chapter 15, and the provisions hereof, the pollution
control agency may adopt, amend, and rescind regulations
and standards having the force of law relating to
ar�y purpose within the provisions of this act for the
prevention, abatement, or control of air pollution. Ar�r
such regulation or standard may be of general application
throughout the state or may be lim.ited as to tiraes, .
places, circumstances, or conditions in order to make
due allowance for variations therein. irlithout limitation,
regulations or standards may relate to sources of
emissions of air contamination or air pollution, to the
quality or composition of such emissions, or to the
quality of or composition of the ambient air or outdoor
atmosphere or to any other matter relevant to the preven-
tion, abatement, or control of air pollution.
MPCA #?_L,2-1
�
.
Subd. 5• The pollution control agency may
grant variances from the requirements of regulations
or standards upon such procedure and conditions as
it m�r by regulation prescribe in order to avoid
undue hardship and promote the effective and reasonable
application and enforcement of the laws, regulations,
and standards for prevention, abatement, and
control of air pollution.
Subd. 6. In exercising all its powers the pollu-
tion control agency shall give due consideration
to the establishment ., maintenance, operation and
expansion of business commerce, trade, industry, traffic,
and other economic factors and other material matters
affecting the feasibility and practicabil�f-�r of any
proposed action, including, but not limj.ted tio, the
burden on a municipality of any tax which �ay result
therefrom, and shall take or provide for such action
a,s may be reasonable, feasible, and practical under the
circwnstances.
Consistent with these ob3ectives, it shall be the policy of the Pollution
Control Agency that new equipment capable of becoming a e�urce of a.ir pollu-
tion be provided with the maximum control capability which is technically
practicable and economically reasonable. The Pollution Control Agency shall
encourage the development and e.r_pansion of aix' pollution control programs in
cities, counties and other political subdiviQi-ons o.f the state and provide
planning, technical and enforcement assi4tance.

�;PC I AN�I�:I�T AIR �UALITY STAP.'�aRDS
The followin� aix qual:ity stan�?ards are desirable levels of aix quaLity which
on the basis of present l�owledga axe not expected to produce health hazards or
i�npairment, injury to agricultural crops and Zivestock, damage to or deterioration
of property, and hazards to air and ground transportation. Health hazards include
not only production, aggravation or possible production of disease, but also
interference with function. Heal�h impairmant includes sensory irritation and
impairmer�t of well being b;� such phenomena as odor. The standards are based on
review and interpre�a�ion of data on air pollution exposures and associated
effects and appro�riate Federal air quality criteriae 5tandards of air quality
are not, however, �Z���nded to provide a sharp dividing li�-�e beti,�een air of

APC !+ *?�xinitnn; A1i o;aab]_e�E�nission of Darticulate
tfatter from Fuel Burnin�;EQUipment Used
For Indirect Heatin�.
a. General Provisions.
(I) This regulation applies to fuel burning installations utilized for the
primary purpose of producing steam, hot water, hot air or other indirect heating
of liquids, gases, or solids where the products of combustion do not have direct
contact with process materials. Fuel includes coal, coke, lignite, coke breeze,
fusl oiZ, and wood, but does not i.nclude refuse. When any products or by-products
of a manuEacturing process are burned for the same purpose or in conjunction with
any fuel, the same max�.mwm emission limitations shall apply.
(2) Heat content of coal sha11 be determined according to American Society
for Testing and Materials method D-271-bk Laboratory Sampling and Analysis of
Coal and Coke or method D-2015-62T Gross Calorific Value of SoLid Fuel by the
Adiabatic Bomb Calorimeter, which publications are incorparated herein by reference.
(3) As used herein "heat input" shall be the aggregate heat content of all
fuels whose combustion products pass through a stack or stacks. T2ie heat input
value used shall be the equipment manufacturer�s or desi.gnerls guaxanteed
m�����m input, whichever is greater. The total heat input of all fuel burning
units at an installation or on a premises shall deterciine the maximum allowable
amount of particula+e matter emission.
(!�) Particulate matter emission shall be measured according to the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Power Test Code - PTC - 27 dated 1957 and
entitled Determining Dust Concentration in a Gas S�ream, which publication is
incorporated herein by reference, or other approved method conducted in accordance
with good professional practice.
B. Provision for Minneapolis--St. Paul Metropolitan Area and All New Installations.
bnissions of particulate matter from the combustion of fuel for indirect
heating shall be limited by the provisions of the American Society of Mechanical
Engi.neers Standard No. APS-1 dated June 15, 1966, "Recommended Guide for the
Control of Dust Emi�sion-Combustion for Indirect Heat E�cchangers."
�242-13 1�.1
Figure 2 in such standard shall be used to estimate allowable emissions from a
plant with a si�zgle stack. The appropriate correction factor shall be applied
to multiple stack plants or instalJ_ations. Re�ardless of stack number or
height, the maxi.mum allowable emi�sion for any stack, plant or installation
shall be 0.6 pounds of particulates per million BTU input.
C. Provision for �i�ting Plants or Tnstallations Outside the Minneapolis-St.
Paul Metro�;olita.-� Area.
Particulate matter emissions fror� the combustion of fuel for indirect heating
shall be limited as in B above, except, regard?ess of stack number or htight,
the maximum allowable em.iss_,'.on for any stack, plant or installation sha11 be
0.8 pounds of particu'.ates per million ETU input.
D. Smoke Indicators.
It is recommended plants or installations burning solid fuel or Liquid fuels
of Grades 5 or 6 (PS No. 300 or PS No. 1�00) and having more than 1,000,000 BTU
input capacity be equipped with smoke indicators, mirrors, or similar approved
devices to enable the fireman to observe the breaching or the top of the stack or
stacks from the boiler room at all times, unless the top of the s�ack is readily
visible to the fire�� from the boiler room without the use of such devices. In
plants where a fireman is not in constant atterdance in the boiler room, and when
the boilers fired at cne ti.rse aggregate more than 1,000 squaxe feet of heating
surface the smoke indicators should be capable of sounding an alarm or flashing
a signal to attract the atten�ion of the fireman. Any existing plant or installa-
tion which emits smoke of a dznsity greater than permitted by appropriate re-
gulation sha11 install such indicating devices.

(1) This regulation applies to any operation, process, or activity except
the bur�i:ng of fuel for indirect heating where the products of combustion do not
� directly contact process materials, except refuse burning and procesa burning
of salvageable material.
(2) "Process weight" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in regulation
APC 2. �
Proceas weight rate for continuous or long-run steady-state sources shall
be the total process weight for the entire period of continuous operation or a
typic al portion thereof, divided by the number of hours or such period or portion
thereof. Process weight rate for cyclical or batch source sha11 be the total
process weight for a period which covers a complete operation or an integral
number of cycles, divided by the hours of actual process operation during such
period.
Where the nature of any prpcess or operation or the design of any equipment
admits more than one interpretation of this section, the interpretation resulting
in the mini.mum allowable emission value sha11 apply.
(3) bni.ssion tests for determination of com�liance with this regulation
shall follow the standards in American Society of Mechanical Engineers Power
Test Code - PTC - 27 dated 1957 and entitled "Determining D'ust Concentration in a
Gas Stream" or other approved method.
B. Emission Limitations.
(1) Except as provided in Section B (2) below, no person shall cause, suPfer,
allow, or permit the emission of particulate ma,tter in ar�y one hour from any �- -
source in excess of the amount shown in Table I for the allocated process weight.
(2) The limitations established by Section B (I) shall not require the
reduction of paxticulate matter concentration, based on the source gas volume,
below the concentration specified in Table 2 for such volume. The bu.rden of
�21,2-15

showing the source gas volume, 3ncluding all factors and methods determining
such volume, shall be on the person seeking to come w.Lthin the provisions of
this section.
(3)•�� No person shall cause, suffer, a11ow, or permit the emission of particu-
� late matter from ax�y source in a concentration in excess of 0.30 grain per
standard cubic foot of exhaust gases. Provisions of this subsection shall not
apply to existing grey iron 3obbing cupolas. For purposes of this regulation,
a �obbing cupola is defined as a cupola, which has a single melting cycle no
more than ten hours in any consecutive 24 hours and no more than 5� hours in any
consecutive seven days.

A. General Provisions
(1) This regulation applies to any incinerator used to dispose of refuse
by burning or the processing of salvageable material by burning. Notwithstanding
definif.ions i.n other regulations, as used in this regulation the word refuse
includes gaxbage, rubbish, trade wastes, leaves, salvageable ma,terial and
agricultural wastes. The word incinerator, as used in this regulation, includes
incinerators and other devices, structures, or contrivances used to burn refuse
or to process refuse b;� burning. �
(2) The burning capacity of an incinerator shall be the manufacturer�s
or designer�s guaxanteed m�ximum rate or such acceptable cther rate as is considere�
good-engineering practice.
�3) The a�nount of paxticulate matter emitted from any incinerator shall be
determined according to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Power Test
Code - PTC - 27 dated 1957 and entitled "Determining Dust Concentration in a Gas
Stream" or any other method which is consistent with good professional practice.
The above publication is hereby made a part of this regulation by reference. In
calculating the amount of particulate matter i.n stack gas, the loading shall be
ad3usted to 12 pereent caxbon dioxide in the stack gas. The carbon dioxide
produced by burning of an;� liqui.d or gaseous fua� in the incinerator shall be
excluded from the calculation to 12 percent carbon dioxide. Emissions shall be
measured under maximum operation capacity or at any other burning rate wherein
emission of paz�:.cu�ate ��ttQr is greater.
B. Restri:ction of �ni.ssions of Par�ticulate I�iatter from
Incinerators.
(1.) No person shall cause or permit the emission of paxticulate matter from
the stack or chimney of any incinerator in excess of the following:
(a) Incinerators with a maximwn refuse burning capacity of less than
200 pounds per hour, 0.3 grains of particulate natter per standard dry cubic foot
of exhaust gas.

with auxiliary fuel burners of such capacity and design as to assure a tempera-
ture in the secondary combustion chamber of at least 1200°F. for a sufficient tirse
to prevent objectionable odor eniission.
(3) No incinerator shall be used for the buring of refuse unless such in-
cinerator is a multiple chamber incinerator. Exi.sti.r_g incinerai�brs which are
not multiple cha��nber incinerators may be altered, modified or rebuilt as may be
:�ecessary to meet this requirement. 7.`he Director may ap;r�1� �'�y �ther altera--
tion or modification to an existing incinerator if such be fou�ld by him to be
equally effective for the prupose of air pollution control as a modification
or alteration which would result in a �ultiple chamber incinerator. �11 new
incinerators shall be multiple chamber incinerators, provided that the Director
may approve any other kind of 3ncinerator if he finds in advance of construction
or installation tl:at such other kind of i�cinerator is equally effective for
purposes of a�r pollution control as an approved multiple chamber ir.cinerator.

APC lt�,. Emission of Certain Settleable Acids and
Alkaline Substances Restricted.
A. General :'rovisions.
This regulation shall apply to all emissions from any sources or premises.
B. Method of Measurement.
(1) In determining compliance with this regulation, fallout sampling
devices shall consist of circular glass dishes 1� centimeters in diamenter which
shall be supported on a nearly horizontal surface not larger than the dish. The
dish bottom shall be at least three feet above the earth or other surface on
which its support is resting and the dish shall be coated with a solution of
thymol blue, ammonia water solution and gelatin dried to a yellow color in
a vacuum oven at room temperature: Prepared dishes shall be stored in a
desiccator at I�0 percent relative humidity, or in plastic bagsv
(2) Fallout sa�npling devises shall be placed at one or more locations be-
yond the pre*nises on which a source or sources are located, up-w:i.nd and down-
wind of such premises. The sampling devices shall be exposed to substa.�ces
settling out of the ambient air for a period of one hour. The presence of re3-
colored spots on the gelatin indicates that acidic substances have settled out
of the air while the presence of blue-colored spots on the gelatin indicates
that alkaline substances have settled out of the air. The number of spots visi-
ble on samplers exposed up-wind of premises to be subt,racted from the number
of spots visible on samplers.exposed down-wind of the same preraises. The differ�
ence in the number of spots, if any, shall be construed to be attributable to
emis:;ions occurriiig on the premises under inves�igation.
(3) In lie�u of the �est methods specified in b (1) and (2), any other
method approved by the Director may be used.
C. Emissions Restricted.
No person shall cause or permi.t the emission from any source or premises of

� . APC 15 Restriction of Emissions of Sulfur Dioxide
fro� Use of Fuel in the �iinneapolis-St.
Paul P�:etro,politan Area.
A. General Provisions
(1) This regul��tion shall apply only during a period declared by the Direc-
tor to be an air pollution aler�:period. An air pollutian alert will be declared
at ar�y time in the 24-hour average concentration of sulfur.d�.o�.de in the ambient
air based upon uniform sampling exceeds the value of 0.1 parts per million as
specified i.n APC l.
(2) Notification of an air pollution warning will be issued at any time
the average concentration of sulfur dioxide in the ambient air exceeds 0.1 parts
per million for a 12-hour period and the meteorological forecast indicates a
cc�tinuation of conditions unfavorable for dispersion of air pollutants for an
additional period of 12 hours or more. This warning period is to provide time
for users of fuel with a sulfur content in excess of that given in Sections B and
C of this regulation to prepare to change to a fuel which will meet the require-
ments of this regula�ion for use during an air pollu+ion alert.
(3) Notification of an air pollution alert will be made by the most �xaedi-
tious means to users of fuel containing a higher sulfur content t3�an tnat given
in this regulation. Upon such notification all fuel burned must comply with the
provisions of :ections B and C of this regulat�on. i�d:ien meteorological conditions
have cha.nged sufficiently to assure +hat the ambient air quality standard for sul-
fur dioxide wi.11 no longer be exceeded such fuel users will be advised that the
alert period is term�n�ted and ma.y then revert to the fuel of their choice.
(4) This regulation shall apply to any installation in which fuel is burned
and in which the sulfur dioxS.de emission is substa.ntially due to the content of
the fuel burr�ed, and in which the fuel is burned primarily to produce heat.
(5) For purposes of this regulation, a fuel burr.ing ir_stallation is any
single fuel burning furnace or boiler or other unit, device, or contrivan_ce in
which fuel is burned or any grouping of two or more such furn3ces or boilers or
other units, devices, or contrivances on the same premises or otnerwise located
#242-36 15.1
� '
� in close pro�.mit�r to each other and under control of the same person. The
capacity of such installations shall be the manufacturer's or designer's
guaranteed maximum heat input rate.
' (6) The method for determ.ining the percent of sulfur in coal shall be
that described in ASTM D-271-bk Laboratory Samp7.ing and Analysis of Coa1 and
� _
Coke or equivalent method approved by the Supervisor, Air Pollution Control. The
method for determining the heat content of coal shall be as described in A,STM
D-271-6k Laboratory Sampling and Analys3.s of Coa1 and Coke or D-2415-62T Grosa
Calorific Value of Solid Fuel by the Adiabatic Bomb Calorimeter. Sulfur content
of coal as atated in this regulation shall be as analyzed on a dry basis, but
calculated to include normal moisture.
The method for determining the sulfur content of fuel oil shall be that
described in ASTM D-129-61� Standard Method of Test for Sulfur in Petroleum
P�oducts and Lubricants by the Bomb Method.
The method for determining the heat content of fuel oil shall be that
des.cribed in ASTM D-240-61� Standard Method of Test for Heat of Ccmbustion of
I,iquid Hydrocarbons by Bomb Calorimeter or other method giving comparable results.
The testing methods specified in this subsection are hereby made a part
of this regulation by reference.
(7) The Director is authorized to take or cause to have taken samples of
any fuel by ar�y appropriate means, in at�y quantity which he finds necessary, at
any reasonable time or place, for purposes of determining compliance with this
regulation. Where applicable, the followi.ng methods will be used:

sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere during an air pollution alert from any �iel
burning installation with a capacity of 2,000 million or mote British Thermal
Units per hour in an amount greater than 2.3 pounds of sulfur dioxide per
million British Thermal Ilnits o� heat 3nput to the installa.tion.
(2) During an air pollution alert and until the requirements of subsection
B(1) of this regulation axe in effect, no fuel burning installation with a
capacity of 2,000 millior� or more British Thermal Units per hour shall burn a
fuel or fuels having a sulfur content in excess of two percent.
C. Restriction Applicable to Fuel Burning Installations With a Capacity of Less
than 2,000 I�311ion British Thermal Units Per Hour.
� (1) During an air pollution alert no person shall burn or permit the
buring of any coal containing mcre than two persent sulfur or of any fuel oil
containing more than two percent sulfur, in ar�,y fuel burning installation having
a capacity of less than 2,000 mi.11ion British Thermal Units per hour.
(2) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to an;r fuel burr,ir,g
installations if it can be shown that emissions of sulfur dioxide from such
installation into the atmosphere will not exceed 2.3 pounds per million British
Thermal Units of heat input to the installation.
