Permit No. 03735T42
Page 61
(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.
