Section 1134-7.0 - Post-Reduction Emission Rate

7.1 The ozone season and the non-ozone season post-reduction emission rate from each emission unit or units where a reduction occurred and is submitted to the Department for certification shall, prior to certification by the Department, be demonstrated using the unit's allowable or proposed allowable operating hours, production rates, and types of materials used or processed, stored, or combusted, as applicable, and, in descending order and as required by applicable requirements:

7.1.1 Continuous emission monitoring (CEM) data, parametric monitoring data, or the monitoring of other surrogates, as approved by both the Department and the Administrator of the EPA.

7.1.2 Direct measurement of emissions conducted in accordance with test methods approved by both the Department and the Administrator of the EPA, which include, but are not limited to those methods referenced in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63, or in applicable state regulations, provided that a representative of the Department was afforded the opportunity to witness the measurement.

7.1.3 Any other quantification method that is approved for use by the Department and the Administrator of the EPA.

7.2 For computation of a mobile source category ozone season and non-ozone season post reduction emission rate, the quantification method or methods shall be consistent with the method or methods established in the 1990 Base Year Emission Inventory and the Rate of Progress Plans. The applicant shall consult with the Department and the EPA in calculating the emission rate, and in establishing the assumptions to be used in said calculation(s) or calculations. The applicant shall also consult with the Department and the EPA in determining the duration of the resultant ERC or ERCs. The first such application for a mobile source category that contains the calculation for that specific category shall be the subject of a specific revision to the SIP. Any subsequent application shall be consistent with the method or methods and assumptions used in the specific mobile source category in the approved SIP.
