startup,shutdown, malfunction,and as otherwise provided in the applicable standard, [40 CFR 60.11(c)]
d. At all times, including periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, owners and operators shall, to the
extent practicable,maintain and operate any affected facility in a manner consistent with good air pollution
control practice for minimizing emissions. Determination of whether acceptable operating and maintenance
procedures are being used will be based on available information which may include, but is not limited to,
monitoring results, opacity observations, review of operating and maintenance procedures, and inspection
of the source. (40 CFR 60.11(d)]
Testis [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(f)]
e. L If emission testing is required,it shall be in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart
000 and General Condition JJ.
ii. In conducting the performance tests required by 40 CFR 60.8, the Permittee shall use as reference
methods and procedures, the test methods in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A or other methods and
procedures as specified in this section, except as provided in 40 CFR 60.8(b).
iii. In determining compliance with the visible emissions standards in Section 2.1 A.3.b or c, above,the
owner or operator shall use 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A,Method 9(i.e.,Method 9)and the procedures
in 40 CFR 60.11, with the following additions:
(A)The minimum distance between the observer and the emission source shall be 4.57 meters(15 feet).
(B) The observer shall,when possible,select a position that minimizes interference from other fugitive
emission sources (e.g., mad dust). The required observer position relative to the sun (Method 9,
Section 2.1)must be followed.
iv. Compliance with opacity standards in this part shall be determined by conducting observations in
accordance with Method 9. For purposes of determining initial compliance,the minimum total time of
observations shall be 3 hours (thirty 6-minute averages) for the performance test or other set of
observations(meaning those fugitive-type emission sources subject only to an opacity standard).
