    A.    Permit suspensions may be reduced in length by a negotiated consent agreement which may substitute monetary penalties for part or all of the suspension time. Negotiated consent agreements are applicable to all suspensions of permits issued under the provisions of this chapter.
    B.    These penalties apply to all permits issued pursuant to this chapter. (Ord. 7-1996 § 1 (part))

    A.    The following schedule gives the maximum allowable concentrations for carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) for both cars and trucks as determined by an approved infrared gas analyzer using the prescribed procedures. The effective date for these cut points is July 1, 1995. January 1, 1998.

The minimum dilution factor must also be reached as part of the testing requirement. The dilution factor is contained in the analyzer specifications in Section 10.12.240 and is updated as deemed necessary.

NOTE:     These should be considered as “cut points” for maximum allowable emissions levels. Vehicles must never be reset to these emission levels when readjustments are made, but rather shall be adjusted using manufacturer’ s specifications. By using manufacturer’ s specifications, the emissions levels should be well below the “cut points.”
    B.    Exhaust Emissions Standards for Enhanced Loaded Mode I/M inspections (DC98/IM240).
    1.    If the corrected, composite emission rates calculated exceed standards for any exhaust component, additional analysis of test results shall look at the second phase of the driving cycle separately. Phase 2 shall include second ninety-four (94) through second two hundred thirty-nine (239). Second-by-second emission rates in grams, and composite emission rates in grams per mile for Phase 2 and for the entire test shall be recorded for each gas. For any given exhaust component, if the composite emission level is equal to or below the composite standard or if the Phase 2 grams per mile emission level is equal to or below the applicable Phase 2 standard, then the vehicle shall pass the test for that exhaust component.
    2.    Composite Exhaust Emissions Standards. Except as provided in this subsection Section 10.12.030, exhaust emissions, in grams per mile traveled: of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from a vehicle shall not exceed the following values for the composite exhaust emissions test specified in Section 10.12.110 of this Ordinance for the indicated vehicle type or vehicle weight:
