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
