487,000 = The production level (MDT paper/year) at which the 110.3 tons of VOC emissions were established.
Recordkeeping |
The permittee must maintain records of the monthly emission calculations and comparisons to the PSEL performed for each 12-month period.
GENERAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS
Unless otherwise specified in this permit, the permittee must conduct all testing in accordance with the Department’s Source Sampling Manual. [OAR 340-212-0120
159.f. Unless otherwise specified by a state or federal regulation, the permittee must submit a source test plan to the Department at least 30 days prior to the date of the test. The test plan must be prepared in accordance with the Source Sampling Manual and address any planned variations or alternatives to prescribed test methods. The permittee should be aware that if significant variations are requested, it may require more than 30 days for the Department to grant approval and may require EPA approval in addition to approval by the Department.
159.h. Only regular operating staff may adjust the processes or emission control device parameters during a compliance source test and within two (2) hours prior to the tests. Any operating adjustments made during a compliance source test, which are a result of consultation during the tests with source testing personnel, equipment vendors, or consultants, may render the source test invalid.
159.j. Unless otherwise specified by permit condition or Department approved source test plan, all compliance source tests must be performed as follows:
159.j.i. at least 90% of the design capacity for new or modified equipment;
159.j.iii. at least 90% of the maximum operating rate for existing equipment; or
159.j.v. at 90 to 110% of the normal maximum operating rate for existing equipment. For purposes of this permit, the normal maximum operating rate is defined as the 90th percentile of the average hourly operating rates during a 12 month period immediately preceding the source test. Data supporting the normal maximum operating rate must be included with the source test report.
159.k. Each source test must consist of at least three (3) test runs and the emissions results must be reported as the arithmetic average of all valid test runs. If for reasons beyond the control of the permittee a test run is invalid, the Department may accept two (2) test runs for demonstrating compliance with the emission limit or standard.
159.m. Source test reports prepared in accordance with the Department’s Source Sampling Manual must be submitted to the Department within 60 days of completing any required source test, unless a different time period is approved in the source test plan submitted prior to the source test.
159.o. “Modified EPA Method 9” means the minimum visible emission observation period must be six minutes, though longer periods may be required by a specific rule or permit condition. During the test period, if any one reading is equal to or equal to or greater than the visible emissions limit for the emissions unit, then the observation period must be a minimum of 60 minutes or until a violation of the emissions standard has been documented; whichever is a shorter period. Aggregate times (e.g., 3 minutes in any one hour) consist of the total duration of all readings during the observation period that are equal to or exceed the opacity percentage in the standard, whether or not the readings are consecutive. Each EPA Method 9 reading represents 15 seconds of time. [See the definition of “Opacity” in OAR 340-208-0010]
