A. Persons subject to 20.2.32.113 NMAC shall submit reports to the Department for each semi-annual period, each report to be received by the Department within 30 days after the end of the period. The semi-annual report shall contain the following information:

(1) Date of test;

(2) Reference method used for the test;

(3) Coal burning equipment tested;

(4) Emissions data obtained by sample number, expressed in pounds nitrogen dioxide emitted per million BTU;

(5) Arithmetic average of sample data, expressed in pounds nitrogen dioxide emitted per million BTU;

(6) Any variances from the reference method.

B. Persons subject to 20.2.32.111 NMAC shall submit reports on the CEMS-based data to the Department for each calendar quarter, each report to be received by the Department within 45 days after the end of the quarterly period. The quarterly reports for each unit of coal burning equipment shall contain the following:

(1) Hourly and daily averages of the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, expressed in pounds per million BTU, in the gases which are being emitted to the atmosphere, except for periods of instrument calibration and zero adjustments;

(2) Hourly and daily averages of the percent excess oxygen in the gases coming from the coal burning equipment;

(3) Hourly and daily average generation output of the coal burning equipment, expressed in megawatts;

(4) Daily average heat input into each unit of coal burning equipment;

(5) Total nitrogen dioxide discharged per day, on a station-wide basis, expressed in pounds per day, measured midnight to midnight;

(6) Nitrogen dioxide discharged per day per unit of coal burning equipment, measured from midnight to midnight, expressed as pounds per day and the number of hours used to calculate the limits in subsection B of 20.2.32.111 NMAC;

(7) The date and time identifying each period during which the CEMS was inoperative except for zero and span checks and the nature of the systems repairs or adjustments;

(8) Identification of the times when daily average emission data have been obtained by other monitoring systems or reference methods pursuant to subsection C of 20.2.32.114 NMAC;

(9) Identification of the days for which nitrogen dioxide or diluent data have not been obtained by an approved method for at least 18 hours of operation of the facility; justification for not obtaining sufficient data; and description of corrective actions taken;

(10) Identification of times when the nitrogen dioxide concentration as measured by the CEMS exceeded the full span of the CEMS;

(11) A report of emissions in excess of the limitation contained in 20.2.32.111 NMAC, the magnitude of the excess emissions and the time period(s) when the excess emissions occurred;

(12) Specific identification of each period of emissions in excess of the limitation contained in 20.2.32.111 NMAC that occurred during startup, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the affected facility, including the nature and causes of any malfunctions and the corrective action taken or preventative measures taken;

(13) Description of any modifications to the CEMS which could affect the ability of the continuous monitoring system to comply with the operating specifications of subsection D of 20.2.32.114 NMAC.
