12. (Replaced, O.C. 501-2011)General standards: Subject to cases provided for in sections 13 and 14, a stationary source other than those mentioned in section 15 may not emit into the atmosphere:

(a)  more than 6.8 kg per day and 1.3 kg per hour of organic compounds in the case where organic solvents or substances which contain them are submitted to a baking process or come in contact with a flame;

(b)  more than 15 kg per day and 3 kg per hour of organic compounds for photochemically reactive organic compounds which are not submitted to a baking process or do not come in contact with a flame;

(c)  more than 1 400 kg per day or 200 kg per hour of organic compounds where non-photochemically reactive solvents are not submitted to a baking process or do not come in contact with a flame.

For the purposes of enforcing this section, the different portions of a continuing process constitute only one stationary source. Organic compound emissions mentioned in subparagraphs b and c of the first paragraph comprise all emissions produced during the 12 hours used for drying, following the last application of organic solvents or substances which contain them.
