(M) The owner or operator of any facility with equipment that is subject to rules 3745-256-50 to 3745-256-64 of the Administrative Code and to leak detection, monitoring, and repair requirements under regulations at 40 CFR Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63 may elect to determine compliance with rules 3745-256-50 to 3745-256-64 of the Administrative Code either by documentation pursuant to rule 3745-256-64 of the Administrative Code, or by documentation of compliance with the regulations at 40 CFR Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63 pursuant to the relevant provisions of the regulations at 40 Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63. The documentation of compliance under regulation at 40 CFR Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63 shall be kept with or made readily available with the facility operating record.
