The Directormay: (1) Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section ifthe owner or operator ofthe source being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction ofthe Directorthatthe specifiedmethod is inappropriate for the
sourcebeingtested. (2) Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative method is necessaryto 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 ifthe methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance ofpermitted emission
sources orpollutants. b. The Director may authorize the Division ofAir Quality to conduct independent tests ofany source subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status ofthat source or to verity any test data submitted relating to that source.
