Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 17, § 93102.12 - Recordkeeping Requirements

(a) Inspection records. The Owner or Operator shall maintain inspection records to document that the inspection and maintenance requirements of section 93102.10 and Table 93102.10, and the provisions of the operation and maintenance plan required by section 93102.11 have been met. The record can take the form of a checklist and shall identify:

(1) The device inspected,

(2) The date and time of inspection,

(3) A brief description of the working condition of the device during the inspection,

(4) Maintenance activities performed on the components of the air pollution control system (i.e. duct work replacement, filter pad replacement, fan replacement, etc.), and

(5) Actions taken to correct deficiencies found during the inspection.

(b) Source Test records. The Owner or Operator shall maintain test reports documenting the conditions and results of all Source Tests.

(c) Monitoring data records. The Owner or Operator shall maintain records of monitoring data required by section 93102.9 that are used to demonstrate compliance, including the date and time the data are collected.

(1) Cumulative rectifier usage records. Record the cumulative rectifier usage expended at the end of each month of the reporting period, and the total usage expended to date.

(2) Pressure drop. The Owner or Operator shall record the pressure drop Weekly.

(3) Inlet Velocity Pressure. The Owner or Operator shall record the inlet velocity pressure Weekly.

(4) Surface Tension.

(A) For Facilities that are required to use a Chemical Fume Suppressant as specified in section 93102.8 to comply with section 93102.4:

The Owner or Operator shall record the Surface Tension Daily for 20 Operating Days, and Weekly thereafter as long as there is no violation of the Surface Tension requirement. If the Surface Tension of the Chrome Plating Bath exceeds levels specified in section 93102.8, the Owner or Operator shall again record the Surface Tension Daily for 20 Operating Days, and Weekly thereafter.

(B) For Facilities not required to use a Chemical Fume Suppressant as specified in section 93102.8 to comply with section 93102.4:

The Owner or Operator shall record the Surface Tension Daily for 20 Operating Days, and Weekly thereafter as long as there is no violation of the Surface Tension requirement. If the Surface Tension of the Chrome Plating Bath exceeds 45 dynes/centimeter, as measured with a Stalagmometer, or exceeds 35 dynes/centimeter, as measured with a Tensiometer, the Owner or Operator shall again record the Surface Tension Daily for 20 Operating Days, and Weekly thereafter.

(C) Facilities with an approved alternative method of compliance as specified in section 93102.14 and using Chemical Fume Suppressants as all or partial control of Hexavalent Chromium emissions must record the Surface Tension of the Chrome Plating Bath Daily. The Surface Tension must be maintained at or below the Surface Tension measured during the Source Test.

(5) Mechanical Fume Suppressants. Facilities with an approved alternative method of compliance as specified in section 93102.14 and using Mechanical Fume Suppressants as all or partial control of Hexavalent Chromium emissions must record the coverage on the Chrome Plating Bath Daily. Coverage shall be reported as a percentage of Bath surface area.

(6) Foam thickness. The Owner or Operator shall record the foam thickness Hourly for 15 Operating Days, and Daily thereafter as long as there is no violation of the foam thickness requirement. If a violation occurs, the measurement frequency shall return to Hourly for 15 Operating Days, and Daily thereafter.

(d) Breakdown records. The Owner or Operator shall maintain records of the occurrence, duration, and cause (if known) and action taken on each Breakdown.

(e) Records of excesses. The Owner or Operator shall maintain records of exceedances of the Emission Limitations in section 93102.4, the monitoring parameter values established under section 93102.9, or any site-specific operating parameters established for alternative equipment. The records shall include the date of the occurrence, the duration, cause (if known), and, where possible, the magnitude of any excess emissions.

(f) Records of annual Ampere-Hour use. Facilities shall maintain Monthly records of total Ampere-Hour use per calendar year. The record shall be submitted to the District as part of their ongoing compliance status reports, as specified in Appendix 3.

(g) Records of Chemical Fume Suppressant additions. For Facilities using Chemical Fume Suppressants to comply with the standards, or requirements, the Owner or Operator shall maintain records of the date, time, approximate volume, and product identification of the Chemical Fume Suppressant that is added to the Bath.

(h) Records of Trivalent Chromium Plating components. For Facilities complying with section 93102.6(a)(1)(B), the Owner or Operator shall maintain records of the Bath Components purchased, including the trade or brand names, with the Wetting Agent clearly identified as a Bath Component.

(i) Housekeeping records. The Owner or Operator shall maintain records demonstrating compliance with housekeeping requirements, as required by section 93102.5, including the dates on which specific activities were completed, and records showing that chromium or chromium-containing wastes have been stored, disposed of, recovered, or recycled using practices that do not lead to Fugitive Emissions.

(j) Records retention. All records shall be maintained for five years, at least two years on site.
