(1)No person shall cause or permit to be emitted into the open air from any incinerator which incinerates wood, peanut, or cotton ginning wastes, particulate matter in the exhaust gases to exceed 0.40 pounds per 100 pounds of materials charged.
(2)Emission tests shall be conducted at maximum burning capacity of the incinerator.
(3)The burning capacity of an incinerator shall be the manufacturer's or designer's guaranteed maximum rate or such other rate as may be determined by the Director in accordance with good engineering practices. In case of conflict, the determination made by the Director shall govern.
(4)Each incinerator subject to this Rule shall be properly designed, equipped, and maintained for its maximum burning capacity and shall be equipped with a temperature recorder which shall be operated continuously with the incinerator; and the temperature records shall be made available for inspection at the request of the Director and shall either:

type of material waste being charged into the incinerator, and a variable
