(c) If the records maintained under Paragraph (b) of this Rule are inadequate to determine compliance with the facility's permit and all applicable requirements, the Director may require the owner or operator to use monitoring instruments, and if monitoring instruments are necessary to demonstrate compliance with rules in Subchapters 02D or 02Q of this Chapter or with an emission standard or permit condition, the owner or operator of a source shall:

(1) install, calibrate, operate, and maintain, in accordance with applicable performance specifications in 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B, process and control equipment monitoring instruments or procedures necessary to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards in Subchapters 02D and 02Q of this Chapter;
