Code of Practice for management of air emissions from pulp and paper mills: appendix 1

Appendix 1: Annual Air Emission Limits

Pulp and paper mills should limit their sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and total particulate matter (TPM) emissions to the lower of the following:

1. The annual limits of SO₂ and TPM emissions from the mill, calculated as follows:

   Annual limits = I × P
   
   where:

   P is the annual production calculated in accordance with Appendix 3, expressed in tonnes of production and
   I is the base level emission requirement, as follows:

   1. In the case of a chemical mill:
      • 4.0 kg of SO₂/tonne of production
      • 2.0 kg of TPM/tonne of production
   2. In the case of a mechanical mill:
      • 1.5 kg of SO₂/tonne of production
      • 0.5 kg of TPM/tonne of production
2. The limits or standards from federal or other jurisdictions that apply to the mill, if these are more stringent.
