If emissions testing is required by this permit or the DAQ or if the Permittee submits emissions testing to the DAQ to
demonstrate compliance,the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D.2600 and follow
the procedures outlined below:
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. 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.
KK.Reopening for Cause [15A NCAC 2Q.0517]
