Note:--

(i) All values of particulate matter are to be corrected at 6 per cent Carbon Dioxide.

(ii) Fugitive emission shall not exceed 10 mg/m3 from any process or plant.

(iii) Each stack shall be at least 2 metre above the top most point of the building, shed or plant in the industry excluding bucket elevator, mill house and vibrating screen.

(iv) If more than one kiln is connected to single stack, sum of the production capacity of all the kilns would be considered for determining the capacity of the kiln and accordingly depending upon the total capacity, emission standard and stack height would be implemented.

(v) Monitoring of stack shall be carried out at the time of charging and after the completion of charging and average of these two results shall be considered as emission level.
