A.
Every person
and every employee of every person in either actual or constructive
control, maintenance or supervision thereof shall at all times so
maintain, control and supervise all steam boilers, furnaces, devices,
contrivances, smokestacks and chimneys located in, or which may be
a part of, any house, building, place or premises, so that the same
does not emit dense smoke in quantities that shall be considered either
a nuisance or a hazard to health.
B.
Furthermore,
no person shall permit smoke, the shade or appearance of which is
darker than No. 2 of the Ringelmann Smoke Chart, to be emitted into
the open air from any fuel-burning equipment, internal combustion
engine, open fire, stack or chimney.
Each day, or part thereof, that dense smoke
is emitted in violation of this article shall be deemed to be a separate
violation, unless an extension of time to continue such violation
is granted by the Board therefor based upon a factually supported
claim that extensive alterations are required for the purpose of complying
with the provisions of this article and based further upon the promise
that such alterations will be made within such time as the Board may
determine to be reasonable. The granting or denial of such extension
of time shall, at all times, be discretionary with the Board.[1]
