30 Tex. Admin. Code § 101.8 - Sampling
(a) Any person owning or operating a source
which emits air contaminants into the air of this state shall, upon request by
the board or the executive director, conduct sampling to determine the opacity,
rate, composition, and/or concentration of such emissions. Sampling shall be
conducted at a frequency and within a period of time which are reasonable as
specified by the board or executive director. The sampling method shall be
specified by the board or the executive director and, further, the sampling
shall be conducted so as to reflect with reasonable accuracy the above listed
characteristics of such emissions.
(b) Any person affected by subsection (a) of
this section may request the executive director to approve alternate sampling
techniques or other means to determine the opacity, rate, composition, and/or
concentration of emissions. The executive director may approve such alternate
methods or means if it can be demonstrated that such alternatives will be
substantially equivalent to the sampling methods specified by the executive
director or the board.
(c) If
requested to obtain air contaminants emission data pursuant to subsection (a)
of this section, the owner or operator shall attest to and report the results
so obtained to the executive director within a reasonable time specified by and
on forms furnished by the executive director.
(d) Copies of all data, the computations, and
results obtained under subsection (a) of this section shall be retained by the
owner or operator of a source for at least five years and shall be made
available to the board, or any members, employees or agents thereof, and to any
local air pollution control agencies, during regular business hours.
