Or. Admin. Code § 340-212-0220 - Compliance Assurance Monitoring: Submittal Requirements
(1) The owner or operator must submit to DEQ
monitoring plans that satisfy the design requirements in OAR
340-212-0210. The submission
must include the following information:
(a)
The indicators to be monitored to satisfy OAR
340-212-0210(1)(a) and
(b);
(b) The ranges or designated conditions for
such indicators, or the process by which such indicator ranges or designated
conditions will be established;
(c)
The performance criteria for the monitoring to satisfy OAR
340-212-0210(2);
and
(d) If applicable, the
indicator ranges and performance criteria for a CEMS, COMS or PEMS pursuant to
OAR 340-212-0210(4).
(2) As part of the information
submitted, the owner or operator must submit a justification for the proposed
elements of the monitoring plans. If the performance specifications proposed to
satisfy OAR 340-212-0210(2)(b) or
(c) include differences from manufacturer
recommendations, the owner or operator must explain the reasons for the
differences. The owner or operator also must submit any data supporting the
justification and may refer to generally available sources of information used
to support the justification, such as generally available air pollution
engineering manuals, or EPA or DEQ publications on appropriate monitoring for
various types of control devices or capture systems. To justify the
appropriateness of the monitoring elements proposed, the owner or operator may
rely in part on existing applicable requirements that establish the monitoring
for the applicable regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit or a similar
unit. If an owner or operator relies on presumptively acceptable monitoring, no
further justification for the appropriateness of that monitoring should be
necessary other than an explanation of the applicability of such monitoring to
the unit in question, unless data or information is brought forward to rebut
the assumption. Presumptively acceptable monitoring includes:
(a) Presumptively acceptable or required
monitoring approaches, established by DEQ in a rule that constitutes part of
the applicable implementation plan required pursuant to title I of the FCAA,
that are designed to achieve compliance with OAR
340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280 for particular
regulated pollutant-specific emissions units;
(b) Continuous emission, opacity, or
predictive emission monitoring systems that satisfy applicable monitoring
requirements and performance specifications contained in OAR
340-212-0210(d);
(c) Excepted or alternative monitoring
methods allowed or approved pursuant to 40 CFR part 75;
(d) Monitoring included for standards exempt
from OAR 340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280 pursuant to OAR
340-212-0200(2)(a)(A) through
(F) to the extent such monitoring is
applicable to the performance of the control device and associated capture
system for the regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit; and
(e) Presumptively acceptable monitoring
methods identified in guidance by EPA.
(3)
(a)
Except as provided in section (4), the owner or operator must submit control
device and process and capture system, if applicable, operating parameter data
obtained during the conduct of the applicable compliance or performance test
conducted under conditions specified by the applicable rule. If the applicable
rule does not specify testing conditions or only partially specifies test
conditions, the performance test generally must be conducted under conditions
representative of maximum emissions potential under anticipated operating
conditions at the regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit. Such data may be
supplemented by engineering assessments and manufacturer's recommendations to
justify the indicator ranges or, if applicable, the procedures for establishing
such indicator ranges. Emission testing is not required to be conducted over
the entire indicator range or range of potential emissions;
(b) The owner or operator must document that
no changes to the regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit, including the
control device and capture system, have taken place that could result in a
significant change in the control system performance or the selected ranges or
designated conditions for the indicators to be monitored since the performance
or compliance tests were conducted.
(4) If existing data from unit-specific
compliance or performance testing specified in section (3) are unavailable, the
owner or operator:
(a) Must submit a test
plan and schedule for obtaining such data in accordance with section (5);
or
(b) May submit indicator ranges,
or procedures for establishing indicator ranges, that rely on engineering
assessments and other data, if the owner or operator demonstrates that factors
specific to the type of monitoring, control device, or regulated
pollutant-specific emissions unit make compliance or performance testing
unnecessary to establish indicator ranges at levels that satisfy the criteria
in OAR 340-212-0210(1).
(5) If the monitoring plans
submitted by the owner or operator require installation, testing, or other
necessary activities before conducting the monitoring for purposes of OAR
340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280, the owner or
operator must include an implementation plan and schedule for installing,
testing and performing any other appropriate activities before conducting the
monitoring. The implementation plan and schedule must provide for conducting
the monitoring as expeditiously as practicable after DEQ approves the
monitoring plans in the Oregon Title V Operating Permit pursuant to OAR
340-212-0240. In no case may the
schedule for completing installation and beginning operation of the monitoring
exceed 180 days after approval of the permit.
(6) If a control device is common to more
than one regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit, the owner or operator may
submit monitoring plans for the control device and identify the regulated
pollutant-specific emissions units affected and any process or associated
capture device conditions that must be maintained or monitored in accordance
with OAR 340-212-0210(1)
rather than submit separate monitoring plans for each regulated
pollutant-specific emissions unit.
(7) If a single regulated pollutant-specific
emissions unit is controlled by more than one control device that is similar in
design and operation, the owner or operator may submit monitoring plans that
apply to all the control devices and identify the control devices affected and
any process or associated capture device conditions that must be maintained or
monitored in accordance with OAR
340-212-0210(1)
rather than submit a separate description for each control device.
