(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1), where a new fire is started in combustion process equipment, the visible emission may have an opacity not exceeding density No. 3 on the visible emission chart for a period not more than 3 minutes in the aggregate in a quarter hour period up to one hour after the new fire is started.

Notification of pollution potential

9. Where, at a stationary source which has the potential to pollute the air, a failure to operate in the normal manner or change in operating conditions occurs, or a shut‑down of the source or part of it is made for some purpose resulting in the emission of air contaminants that may result in quantities or concentrations in excess of those allowed in sections 4, 5 and 8

(a) the owner or operator of the source shall

(i) immediately notify a department official and furnish him or her with particulars of such failure, change or shutdown, and

(ii) furnish the department official with the particulars in writing, as soon as it is practicable, of such failure, change or shutdown; and

(b) notwithstanding subsections 5(2) and (4) and section 8, the minister, where he or she considers it advisable, may authorize, in writing, the continuance of the operation for such period of time as he or she considers reasonable in circumstances and may impose upon the owner or operator the terms and conditions for such continued operation as he or she considers necessary in the circumstances.

Burning of materials in combustion process

10. (1) A person shall not burn or permit to be burned in a combustion process equipment fuel, waste or other material except the fuel, waste or other material for the burning of which the equipment is designed.

Fluoride Vegetation Standards

1. Forage

(a) Running averages of monthly samples collected through the growing season, May to November inclusive, of forage or hay or silage grown in the area as feed must not exceed 35 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in unwashed samples.

(b) The average of 2 consecutive months samples of forage or hay or silage grown in the area as feed must not exceed 60 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in unwashed samples.

(c) A monthly sample of forage or hay or silage grown in the area as feed must not exceed 80 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in unwashed samples.

(d) Cut forage, to be fed to livestock for a period exceeding 30 days must not exceed 35 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in unwashed samples.

2. Deciduous Trees. Fully expanded functional leaves of Alder trees, Alnus crispa or Alnus rugosa, sampled in September of each year, must not exceed 130 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed sample.

3. Conifers. Buds or needles from balsam fir, Abies balsamea, must not exceed 45 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed samples for the current growth season and must not exceed 75 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed samples for the previous growth season. Sampling is to take place during May and September of each year.

4. Grasses and Sedges. Grasses and sedges not subject to browsing, grazing or harvest for use in feeds or food must not exceed 60 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed samples.

5. Sampling Areas. Samples shall be collected from plots, approved by the department, that are representative of the areas of maximum impact from fluoride emitting sources. These areas should be clearly marked and designated. In the case of deciduous and conifer trees and grasses and sedges, all plots shall be outside the property line of the emitting source. In the case of forage crops, plots may be designated within the property line of the emitting source.

6. Sample Collection. Leaves and needles from exposed trees shall be collected from the side of each tree exposed to the emitting source and at a height sufficient to minimize obstruction from surrounding vegetation. Each sample shall be a composite of a minimum of 5 clippings from a minimum of 5 trees in each sampling plot. In the case of forage or grasses and sedges, the sample shall consist of a minimum of 15 clippings from a random path through the whole plot. Methods for measuring the fluoride content of any plant tissue shall be by suitable methods approved by the department.
