a. The surface tension shall be measured once every four hours during operation of the tank with a

stalagmometer or a tensiometer as specified in Method 306B of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart N.

b. The time between monitoring can be increased if there have been no exceedances. The surface tension

shall be measured once every four hours of tank operation for the first 40 hours of tank operation after the

compliance date. Once there are no exceedances during 40 hours of tank operation, surface tension

measurement may be conducted once every 8 hours of tank operation. Once there are no exceedances

during 40 hours of tank operation, surface tension measurement may be conducted once every 40 hours of

tank operation on an ongoing basis, until an exceedance occurs. The minimum frequency of monitoring

allowed is once every 40 hours of tank operation.

c. Once an exceedance occurs, as indicated through surface tension monitoring, the original monitoring

schedule of once every four hours must be resumed. A subsequent decrease in frequency shall follow the

schedule in paragraph (ii) above.

d. Once a bath solution is drained from the affected tank and a new solution added, the original monitoring

schedule of once every four hours must be resumed, with a decrease in monitoring frequency allowed as in

paragraph (ii) above.

IV. Reporting Requirements (continued)

The permittee shall report to the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency the results of any

performance test conducted. The report shall be submitted no later than 90 days following the completion of

the performance test, and shall be submitted as part of the notification of compliance status report required

by this section.

2.

The permittee shall prepare an ongoing compliance status report semiannually (unless a request to reduce

frequency of ongoing compliance status reports has been approved) to the appropriate Ohio EPA District

Office or local air agency to document the ongoing compliance status of the emissions unit. This report shall

include the following:

a. The company name and address of the emissions unit.

b. An identification of the operating parameter that is monitored for compliance determination.

c. The relevant emission limitation for the emissions unit, and the operating parameter value, or range of

IV. Reporting Requirements (continued)

Once the permittee reports an exceedance, ongoing compliance status reports shall be submitted

semiannually until a request to reduce reporting frequency is approved.

5.

The appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency may determine on a case-by-case basis that the

summary report shall be completed more frequently and submitted, or that the annual report shall be

submitted instead of being retained on site, if these measures are necessary to accurately assess the

compliance status of the emissions unit.

6.

The permittee who is required to submit ongoing compliance status reports on a semiannual (or more

frequent) basis, or is required to submit its annual report instead of retaining it on site, may reduce the

frequency of reporting to annual and/or be allowed to maintain the annual report on site if all of the following

conditions are met:

a. For 1 full year (e.g., 2 semiannual or 4 quarterly reporting periods), the ongoing compliance status reports

demonstrate that the affected emissions unit is in compliance with the relevant emission limit.

b. The permittee continues to comply with all applicable recordkeeping and monitoring requirements of 40

CFR Part 63, subpart A and this permit.

c. The appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency does not object to a reduced reporting

frequency. The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports may be reduced if the following

requirements are met:

i. The permittee notifies the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency in writing of its

intentions to make such a change. The Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency may review information

concerning the facility's previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period prior to the

intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the emission unit's compliance date, whichever is

shorter. Records subject to review include performance test results, monitoring data, and evaluations of the

permittee's conformance with emission limitations and work practice standards. If the permittee's request is

disapproved, the appropriate Ohio EPA District Office or local air agency will notify the permittee in writing

within 45 days after receiving notice. This notification will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is

based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted.

7.

ii. If monitoring data show that the emissions unit is not in compliance with the relevant emission limit, the

frequency of reporting shall revert to semiannual, and the permittee shall state this exceedance in the

ongoing compliance status report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing compliance with

the relevant emission limit for another full year, the permittee may again request approval to reduce the

reporting frequency.
