326 IAC 3-6-5 - Specific testing procedures; particulate matter; PM[10]; PM[2.5]; sulfur dioxide; nitrogen oxides; volatile organic compounds
Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4; IC 13-17-3-11
Affected: IC 13-14-4-3; IC 13-15; IC 13-17
Sec. 5.
(a) Tests for
particulate matter (PM), PM10, and
PM2.5 shall be conducted in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) For PM: 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 5*, 5A*, 5B*, 5C*, 5D*, 5E*, or 5F*, or Method 17*, as
applicable, or other procedures approved by the department and U.S.
EPA.
(2) For
PM10 and PM2.5: 40 CFR 51,
Appendix M, Method 201* or 201A*, and 202*. The measurement of condensable
PM10 using the procedures described in Method 202* is
not required if the applicable emission limitation is contained at
326 IAC 6.8-2, unless otherwise
specified by 326 IAC 6.5 or 326 IAC 6.8. 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 5*, in
conjunction with Method 202*, may also be used, subject to the approval of the
department and U.S. EPA. Other procedures to measure PM10
and PM2.5 may be approved by the department
and U.S. EPA.
(3) Visible emissions
(VE) evaluations shall be performed in conjunction with a PM,
PM10, PM2.5, or other mass
emission rate test of air pollutants, as required by the department. The VE
evaluations shall be conducted by a qualified observer in accordance with the
procedures contained in
326 IAC 5-1-4. VE readings shall
be continuously recorded for at least thirty (30) minutes per hour of sampling
time for each sampling repetition, unless a longer time is otherwise mandated
by federal regulation. A waiver from this requirement may be granted by the
department or on-site department staff person if adverse conditions exist that
would invalidate the VE readings. Complete waivers from the requirement to
conduct VE readings during a compliance test may not be granted for the
emissions unit required to complete opacity testing pursuant to
40 CFR
60.8 * or 40 CFR 63 *. VE readings are not
required for units when operating a certified PM CEMS. Emissions units equipped
with continuous opacity monitors may submit the six (6) minute integrated
readings of the monitors during the sampling period, instead of performing VE
evaluations, provided:
(A) the monitoring
system meets the performance specifications as specified in 40 CFR 60, Appendix
B*, and is, or will be, certified by the department;
(B) the monitor readings submitted with the
test include a zero (0) and upscale calibration check before the first test run
and following the end of the final run; and
(C) if more than one (1) day of testing is
required to complete the three (3) runs, the zero (0) and span checks shall be
performed at the beginning of each day's testing and at the conclusion of each
day's final run.
(4) At
least three (3) repetitions of the test shall be performed under consistent
emissions unit operating conditions unless otherwise allowed by the department.
For boiler emissions testing, at least one (1) of the three (3) repetitions
shall be conducted during a normal sootblowing cycle that is consistent with
frequency and duration normally experienced.
(5) At Richmond Power and Light's Whitewater
Generating Station, when sootblowing occurs during one (1) of the three (3)
repetitions, emission test results shall be evaluated using either a time
weighted averaging period (TWAP) or a straight averaging technique. When using
TWAP, the following equation shall be used to ensure proper weighting of an
intermittent cleaning cycle performance test run regardless of the length of
the cleaning cycle and regardless of the number and duration of the test runs
made on the unit. When using TWAP, the representative pounds per hour of
particulate emissions shall be calculated using the following equation:

Where: E = Pounds per hour of particulate emissions.
Ecc = Average E of sample containing cleaning cycle.
Encc = Average E of sample containing no cleaning cycle.
A = Hours of cleaning cycle operation during sample.
B = Hours with no cleaning cycle operation during sample.
R = Average hours of operation per twenty-four (24) hours.
S = Average hours of cleaning cycle operation per twenty-four (24) hours.
(6) Only those
fuels representative of normal fuel quality used during normal operations shall
be combusted.
(7) During each
repetition, each sampling point shall be sampled for a minimum of two (2)
minutes.
(8) The total test time
per repetition shall be no less than sixty (60) minutes.
(9) The total sample volume per repetition
shall be no less than thirty (30) dry standard cubic feet (dscf).
(10) The total particulate weight collected
from the sampling nozzle, probe, cyclone (if used), filter holder (front half),
filter, connecting glassware, and, if required in subdivision (2), the impinger
catch, shall be reported to the department.
(b) The owner or operator shall conduct
sulfur dioxide (SO2) tests in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) 40 CFR 60, Appendix
A, Method 6*, 6A*, 6C*, or 8*, as applicable, or other procedures approved by
the department and U.S. EPA.
(2) At
least three (3) repetitions of two (2) samples, each according to 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 6* or 6A*, or three (3) repetitions according to 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 6C* or 8*, performed under identical emissions unit
operating conditions, shall constitute a test. For boiler emissions testing,
only those fuels representative of fuel quality during normal operations shall
be combusted.
(3) The total test
time per repetition shall be as follows:
(A)
For tests using 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 6* or 6A*, a minimum of twenty
(20) minutes per run with a thirty (30) minute interval between each
run.
(B) For tests using 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 6C*, a minimum of sixty (60) minutes per run.
(C) For tests using 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
Method 8*, a minimum of sixty (60) minutes per run, with the following
criteria:
(i) During each of the repetitions,
each sampling point shall be sampled for a minimum of two (2)
minutes.
(ii) The total sample
volume per repetition shall be no less than forty (40) dry standard cubic feet
(dscf).
(iii) During each of the
repetitions, the sample rate shall not exceed one (1) cubic foot per minute
(cfm).
(c) The owner or operator shall conduct
nitrogen oxide (NOx) tests according to the following
procedures:
(1) 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method
7*, 7A*, 7B*, 7C*, or 7E*, as applicable, or other procedures approved by the
department and U.S. EPA.
(2) For
Methods 7*, 7A*, 7B*, or 7C*, at least three (3) repetitions of four (4)
samples each shall constitute a test.
(3) For Method 7E*, three (3) test runs, each
a minimum of sixty (60) minutes, shall constitute a test.
(d) The owner or operator shall conduct
volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions tests in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) 40 CFR 60, Appendix
A, Method 25*, or other procedures approved by the department and U.S. EPA,
shall be used for the total nonmethane organic emissions.
(2) At least three (3) samples shall be
collected and analyzed.
(3) The
total test time per repetition shall be a minimum of sixty (60)
minutes.
(4) Bulk gasoline
terminals subject to
326 IAC 20-10 shall be tested in
accordance with 40 CFR 63, Subpart R*. All other bulk gasoline terminals shall
be tested in accordance with the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at 40
CFR 60, Subpart XX*. During all compliance tests, 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method
21* shall be used for determining whether there are any leaks from the hatches
or flanges of the gasoline transports. If any leak is detected, the transport
shall not be used for the capacity of the compliance test of the bulk gasoline
terminal. The threshold for leaks shall be as follows:
(A) Five hundred (500) parts per million
methane for all bulk gasoline terminals subject to 40 CFR 63, Subpart
R*.
(B) Ten thousand (10,000) parts
per million (as methane) for all bulk gasoline terminals subject to 40 CFR 60,
Subpart XX* and for all other bulk gasoline terminals.
