Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-10-.04 - SAMPLING, RECORDING, AND REPORTING REQUIRED FOR MAJOR STATIONARY SOURCES
(1) The provisions of the rule shall apply to
all sources required to obtain a major stationary source operating permit in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph
1200-03-09-.02(11).
Such sources are also subject to the provisions of rule
1200-03-10-.01
and rule
1200-03-10-.02.
(2) The Technical Secretary is authorized to
require by permit condition any periodic or enhanced monitoring, recording and
reporting that he deems necessary for the verification of the source's
compliance with the applicable requirements as defined in paragraph
1200-03-09-.02(11).
(a) Monitoring may include, but is not
limited to: source testing; in-stack monitoring; process parameter monitoring
of material feed rates, temperature, pressure differentials, power consumption
or fuel consumption; chemical analysis of feed stocks, coatings, or solvents;
ambient monitoring; visible emissions evaluations; control equipment
performance parameters of pressure differentials, power consumption, air or
liquid flow rates or amount of air contaminants collected for disposal; air
contaminant leak detection tests from process or control equipment; and any
other such monitoring that the Technical Secretary may prescribe.
1. The monitoring must be conducted in a
manner acceptable to the Technical Secretary. This includes, but is not limited
to: sampling methods, analytical methods, sensor locations and frequency of
sampling.
2. The monitoring method
must have at least a 95% operational availability rate to prove compliance
directly or indirectly with the applicable requirements unless otherwise
stipulated by the Technical Secretary in the permit. Ambient air monitors shall
have their minimum operational availability rates prescribed by chapter
1200-03-12. Missing data in excess of these levels shall be grounds for
enforcement action.
(b)
Recordkeeping may include handwritten or computerized records and shall be kept
in accordance with the manner approved by the Technical Secretary. The
Technical Secretary or an employee of the Department authorized by the
Technical Secretary shall have the authority to inspect the records during
reasonable hours at the place where such records are kept. The source owner or
operator must provide copies of the records to the Technical Secretary upon
request. If the records are computerized, the owner or operator may provide
them to the Technical Secretary in an electronic format compatible with the
Department's electronic data processing equipment for initial review. Upon
discovery of electronic data that may reveal noncompliance, the Technical
Secretary shall ask for excerpts documenting the noncompliance, and the owner
or operator shall comply with the request. All electronic submittals shall be
in "read only" format such that the submittal cannot be written over with
different electronic data.
1. In the absence
of a specific recordkeeping procedure, it is the general duty of a person
required to keep the records required under this rule in such a fashion that
compliance with the applicable requirement can be readily
ascertained.
2. Records must be
legible, quantifiable and supported by documentation to validate the
entries.
(c) Reporting
shall be in the manner prescribed by the Technical Secretary in the permit or
approved by him in the source's operating permit application.
(d) All reports submitted to the Technical
Secretary shall be signed by a responsible official consistent with the
provisions of part
1200-03-09-.02(11)(d)
