(1)The opacity limit is 10 percent (6-minute average) for air curtain incinerators that can combust at least 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste and no more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.
(2)The opacity limit is 35 percent (6-minute average) during the startup period that is within the first 30 minutes of operation.
