(b)
1. Owners or operators of facilities subject
to subparagraph (1)(b) of this rule, are required to submit a written report of
excess emissions for each calendar quarter and the nature and cause of the
excess emissions, if known. The requirements of this subparagraph must be
followed by all owners and operators when making these required
reports.
2. For opacity
measurements the summary shall consist of the magnitude in actual percent
opacity of all one minute averages of opacity greater than the opacity standard
in the applicable rule in Chapter 1200-03-05 for each hour of operation and the
facility minus the five-minute exempt period.
Average values may be obtained by integration over the
averaging period or by arithmetically averaging a minimum of four equally
spaced, instantaneous opacity measurements per minute. The averaging period
used for data reporting is one minute for opacity measurements and one hour for
measurements of sulfur dioxide; provided, however, that for opacity
measurements for fuel burning installations with fuel burning equipment of
input capacity greater than 600 x 106 Btu per hour, the summary shall consist
of the magnitude in actual percent opacity of all six-minute averages of
opacity greater than the opacity standard in the applicable plan for each hour
of operation of the facility minus one six-minute exempt period per hour of no
more than 40 percent opacity. Averaging values may be obtained by integration
over the averaging period or by arithmetically averaging a minimum of
twenty-four hours for measurements of sulfur dioxide for fuel burning
installations with fuel burning equipment of input capacity greater than 600 x
106 Btu per hour. The averaging period used for data reporting from all other
sources is one minute for opacity measurements and one hour for measurements of
sulfur dioxide except as denoted in other Chapters of these regulations.
3. For gaseous measurements the
summary shall consist of emission averages, in the units of the applicable
standard, for each averaging period during which the applicable standard was
exceeded.
4. The date and time
identifying each period during which the continuous monitoring system was
inoperative, except for zero and span checks, and the nature of system repairs
or adjustments shall be reported. The Technical Secretary may required proof of
continuous monitoring system performance whenever system repairs or adjustments
have been made.
5. When no excess
emissions have occurred and the continuous monitoring system(s) have not been
inoperative, repaired, or adjusted, such information shall be included in the
report.
6. Maintain a file of all
information reported in the quarterly summaries, and all other data collected
either by the continuous monitoring system or as necessary to convert
monitoring data to the units of the applicable standard for a minimum of two
years from the date of collection of such data or submission of such
summaries.
7. Owners or operators
of air contaminant sources subject to subparagraph (1)(b) of this Rule are
required to use the procedures outlined in the October 6, 1975, Federal
Register, Vol. 40, No. 194 (Appendix P, Paragraph 5.0), Page 46249 for
converting monitoring data to units of the standard where necessary. These
procedures are essentially the same as those in subparagraphs
1200-03-16-.02(6)(e) and (f). Where applicable, the procedures outlined in the
October 12, 1976, Federal Register, Volume 41, Number 198,
pages 44838-44839 may be used.
(c) Owners or operators of facilities subject
to Rule 1200-03-12-.04 are required to submit a written report on emissions for
each calendar quarter and the nature and cause of excess emissions, if known.
The Technical Secretary will specify details of the reports required after the
monitor has been performance tested.
1.
General Procedures:
(i) The source owner or
operator shall report all 3-hour averages in excess of the applicable emission
standard or all 24-hour averages in units of the applicable emission standard.
The 3-hour and 24-hour values shall be computed by taking the average of three
contiguous or 24 contiguous one-hour values of sulfur dioxide emissions. The
one-hour average values may be obtained by integration over the one-hour period
or be computed from four or more data points equally spaced over each one-hour
period. Data recorded during periods of monitoring system break downs, repairs,
calibration checks, and zero and span adjustments shall not be included in the
data averages.
(ii) In the event
that the fuel burning installation contains discharge points utilizing
continuous sulfur dioxide monitoring systems and discharge points which do not
require monitoring systems (or where an individual monitoring system is
inoperative), and the data from the monitoring system indicates a violation, an
administrative hearing may be conducted by the Technical Secretary to determine
the compliance status of the entire fuel burning installation.
(iii) To determine compliance where multiple
units of fuel burning equipment are involved, an average weight on the basis of
heat input shall be used.
2. The owners and operators of these sources
must follow the same procedures as specified in parts (2)(b)4., 6., and 7. of
Rule 1200-03-10-.02. Alternative methods for converting sulfur dioxide
monitoring instrument data to units of the applicable emission standard may be
approved by the Technical Secretary if demonstrated to yield equivalent
results.
