Current through December 10, 2024
Rule 11-2-2.6 - Compliance Testing
A. Where compliance testing is required in any permit, it shall be performed as provided herein. The Permit Board may require in any permit the installation of sampling ports with safe access and the installation, maintenance and use of monitoring equipment.
B. Requirements.
(1) The emissions sampling and analysis will be performed in accordance with EPA Test Methods and with any continuous emission monitoring requirements, if applicable, unless otherwise approved by the Permit Board and the EPA. The Permit Board may establish an appropriate method for deviation from a test method.
(2) In the event there is no applicable EPA Test Method or method required by Applicable Rules and Regulations, the Permit Board may specify an appropriate test method, taking into consideration any test methodology proposed by the applicant.
(3) The results of the emissions sampling and analysis shall be expressed both in units consistent with the emission standards as set forth in any Applicable Rules and Regulations and in units of mass per time.
(4) Compliance testing will be performed at the expense of the applicant.
(5) The Permit Board may monitor compliance tests and perform compliance tests. Proper notification of compliance tests shall be provided to the Permit Board in accordance with Applicable Rules and Regulations or as specified in the applicable permit.
(6) The emissions sampling and analysis report shall include but not be limited to the following:
(a) a detailed description of testing procedures;
(b) sample calculations;
(c) results; and
(d) a comparison of results to all Applicable Rules and Regulations and to emission limitations in the permit.
(7) Unless otherwise specified in Applicable Rules and Regulations or by a condition of a permit issued by the Permit Board, compliance testing must be performed when the stationary source is operating at capacity and is otherwise operating normally. In the event that a demonstration of compliance by testing is performed at less than capacity, the Permit Board may modify the permit to limit capacity of the stationary source to the rate at which compliance was demonstrated if the Permit Board determines the rate was not representative of the normal operation of the stationary source or compliance with Applicable Rules and Regulations was not demonstrated. In the event that the stationary source is not operating or being operated normally during a demonstration of compliance by testing, the results of such testing will not be accepted by the Permit Board as representative of normal operation and will be considered inadequate.
C. Compliance testing will be required of all facilities for which there is an applicable New Source Performance Standard or National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants in accordance with the methods and time frames allowed by the applicable standard codified at 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63 and the Federal Act.
