Equations calculate MACT model point value in kilograms of organic HAP per megagrams of resin or gel coat applied. The equations
for vacuum bagging with roll-out are applicable when a facility rolls out the applied resin and fabric prior to applying the vacuum
bagging materials. The equations for vacuum bagging without roll-out are applicable when a facility applies the vacuum bagging
materials immediately after resin application without rolling out the resin and fabric. HAP%=organic HAP content as supplied,
expressed as a weight-percent value between 0 and 100 percent.
k. If the organic HAP emissions,as calculated in Section 2.2.A.1.h above,are less than the organic HAP limit
calculated in Section 2.2.A.l.d for the same 12-month period,then the facility is in compliance with the
emission limit for those operations and materials included in the average.

Permit No.06848T09
Page 17
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the
Director prior to air pollution testing.Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the Director
prior to air pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-approval prior to
testing if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable standard
shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at his option
observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates during the
period of air testing.The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or process being
tested is operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test. The individual conducting the
emission test shall describe the procedures used to obtain accurate process data and include in the test report
the average production rates determined during each testing period.
4. Two copies of the final air emission test report shall be submitted to the Director not later than 30 days after
sample 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 finds 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.
