specified in Method 2 subject to the conditions specified in Paragraph 2.1 of
Method 2.
iii. Monthly Static Pressure Checks and Corrective Action- On a monthly basis
following the initial baseline study or the new season flow range verification
measurements, the owner or operator shall measure and record in the logbook
the static pressure at each port where the static pressure was measured in the
baseline study. Measurements shall be made using a manometer, a
magnahelic gauge, or other device that the director has approved as being
equivalent to a manometer. If the owner or operator measures a change in
static pressure of 20 percent or more from the measured in the baseline study,
the owner or operator shall initiate corrective action. Corrective action shall
be recorded in the logbook. If corrective action will take more than 48 hours
to complete, the owner or operator shall notify the regional supervisor of the
region in which the ginning operation is located as soon as possible, but by
no later than the end of the day such static pressure is measured.
iv. Season Startup Flow Range Verification Measurement -No later than the
first week of operation of each new season, the facility shall perform air flow
verification measurements, without cotton being processed. and record all
results in a logbook. If the owner or operator measures a change in static
pressure of 20 percent or more from that mea"sured in the baseline study, the
owner or operator shall initiate corrective action. Corrective action shall be
recorded in the logbook. If corrective action will take more than 48 hours to
complete, the owner or operator shall notify the regional supervisor of the
region in which the ginning operation is located as soon as possible, but by
no later than the end of the day such static pressure is measured. This
measurement will serve as the first monthly measurement of the new season.
V. New Baseline Studies- When any design changes to the dust control system
are made, the owner or operator shall conduct a new baseline study for that
portion of the system and shall record the new values in the logbook required
in Paragraph (f). Thereafter monthly static pressure readings for that portion
of the system shall be compared to the new values.
vi. Daily inspections for Structural Integrity - During the ginning season, the
owner or operator shall daily inspect for structural integrity of the control
devices and other emissions processing systems and shall ensure that the
control devices and emission processing systems conform to normal and
proper operation of the gin. If a problem is found, corrective action shall be
