collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may request an extension to
submit the final test report.The Director shall approve an extension request if he finds that the extension request is a
result of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the validity of
the compliance test. The Director may:
(1) Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator of the source
being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified method is inappropriate for
the source being tested.
(2)Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he fmds that the alternative method is
necessary to secure more reliable test data.
(3)Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test method is
specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance of permitted
emission sources or pollutants.
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source subject to a
rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any test data submitted
relating to that source.Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the appropriate testing
procedures described in Section 2D .2600 has precedence over all other tests.
