performance test must be completed within 3 calendar months from
the date that the most recent performance test was conducted;
or(60.47c(a)(1)(iii))
D. If the maximum 6-minute average opacity is greater than 10 percent, a
subsequent Method 9 performance test must be completed within 45
calendar days from the date that the most recent performance test was

Page 8
is not in excess of 5 percent of the observation period(i.e. , 30
seconds per 10 minute period). If the sum of the occurrence of any
visible emissions is greater than 30 seconds during the initial 10
minute observation, immediately conduct a 30 minute observation. If
the sum of the occurrence of visible emissions is greater than 5
percent of the observation period(i.e., 90 seconds per 30 minute
period),the owner or operator shall either document and adjust the
-operation of the facility and demonstrate within 24 hours that the sum
of the occurrence of visible emissions is equal to or less than 5
