Section 93115.14 - ATCM for Stationary CI Engines - Test Methods(a) The following test methods shall be used to determine diesel PM, HC, NOx, CO and NMHC emission rates: (1) Diesel PM emission testing shall be done in accordance with one of the following methods: (A) California Air Resources Board Method 5 (ARB Method 5), "Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources," as amended July 28, 1997, which is incorporated herein by reference. 1. For purposes of this section, diesel PM shall be measured only by the probe catch and filter catch and shall not include PM captured in the impinger catch or solvent extract.2. The tests are to be carried out under steady state operation. Test cycles and loads shall be in accordance with ISO-8178 Part 4 or alternative test cycle approved by the District APCO.3. The District APCO may require additional engine or operational duty cycle data if an alternative test cycle is requested; or(B) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8178 Test procedures: ISO 8178-1:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 1") ISO 8178-2: 1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 2"); and ISO 8178-4:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 4"), which are incorporated herein by reference; or(C) Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2423, "Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures - Off-Road Compression Ignition Engines," which is incorporated herein by reference.(2) NOx, CO and HC emission testing shall be done in accordance with one of the following methods: (A) California Air Resources Board Method 100 (ARB Method 100), "Procedures for Continuous Gaseous Emission Stack Sampling," as amended July 28, 1997, which is incorporated herein by reference. 1. Tests using ARB Method 100 shall be carried out under steady state operation. Test cycles and loads shall be in accordance with ISO-8178 Part 4 or alternative test cycle approved by the District APCO.2. The District APCO may require additional engine or operational duty cycle data if an alternative test cycle is requested; or(B) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8178 Test procedures: ISO 8178-1:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 1") ISO 8178-2: 1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 2"); and ISO 8178-4:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 4"), which are incorporated herein by reference; or(C) Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2423, "Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures - Off-Road Compression Ignition Engines," which is incorporated herein by reference.(3) NMHC emission testing shall be done in accordance with one of the following methods: (A) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8178 Test procedures: ISO 8178-1:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 1") ISO 8178-2:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 2"); and ISO 8178-4:1996(E) ("ISO 8178 Part 4"), which are incorporated herein by reference; or(B) Title 13, California Code of Regulations, section 2423, "Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures - Off-Road Compression Ignition Engines," which is incorporated herein by reference.(b) The District APCO may approve the use of alternatives to the test methods listed in section 93115.14(a), provided the alternatives are demonstrated to the APCO's satisfaction as accurate in determining the emission rate of diesel PM, HC, NOx, NMHC, or CO.Cal.
