production rates during the period of air testing. The owner or operator of the source shall
Permit 06740T18
Page 31
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.
