Sec. 3.
(a)
Department staff may observe field test procedures and source or emissions unit
operation during the emission test.
(b) The owner or operator of a source or
emissions unit shall conduct all emission tests as follows:
(1) The emissions unit being tested shall be
operating according to clause (A) or (B), except as allowed under clause (C),
as follows:
(A) At a minimum, ninety-five
percent (95%) of the permitted maximum emissions unit operating capacity
description.
(B) Under conditions
of worst case emissions, and if the worst case emission condition is not known,
then the worst case emission condition shall be assumed to be the maximum
process or operating rate of the emissions unit as listed in the permit's
emissions unit description.
(C)
Under other capacities or conditions as specified in an applicable requirement
or approved by the department. As used in this clause, "capacity" means the
design capacity of the emissions unit or other operating capacities agreed to
by the owner or operator of the emissions unit and the department, including,
but not limited to, process conditions when the department believes that
changes in the operating capacities or operating conditions have the potential
to affect emission levels.
(2) All test runs for a given pollutant shall
be conducted within forty-eight (48) hours unless process variables or
mandatory test lengths of greater than two (2) hours make this impracticable.
In these cases, the testing shall be conducted on consecutive days. Other
periods or duration may be approved by the commissioner if specific testing
circumstances require a longer testing time frame.
(c) Emissions units subject to 326 IAC
12,
326 IAC
14, or 326 IAC
20 shall be tested under conditions as specified in the
applicable provision for that emissions unit in 40 CFR
60 *, 40 CFR
61 *, or 40
CFR
63 * and this rule where appropriate.
(d) The owner or operator of a source or
emissions unit shall make available at the test site calibration results of the
various sampling components. The information shall include the following:
(1) The date or dates the test was
performed.
(2) The methods
used.
(3) The calibration
data.
(4) The results.
All components requiring calibration shall be calibrated
within sixty (60) days prior to the actual test date. Post-test calibrations
shall be performed on the components not later than forty-five (45) days after
the actual test date. Components requiring calibration are listed in the
federal test methods specified in section 5 of this rule.
(e) The department may perform or
require the performance of audits of equipment or procedures associated with
the test series up to the time of the actual performance of the test, between
test runs, or following the test series. The department reserves the right to
perform or observe all associated analyses.
(f) The original or a photocopy of the raw
field data generated during the test series shall be provided to the department
observer upon request if the request may be reasonably met under the existing
circumstances.
