CFR p arts 51, 60, 61, and 63 and proposes the revisions on a 5
- to 10
- year basis . Many of these needed revisions were brought to our attention by affected parties and end
- users. The revisions consist of allowable alternatives that were not previously available, changes that avoid using mercury
- containing equipment, and updates needed to correct obsolete provisions or add flexibility due to people figuring out better ways of doing things. C orrections to typographical errors and technical errors in equations and diagrams are also proposed . It is important to note that although numerous technical c orrections are being proposed to portions of the subparts in p arts 51, 60, 61, and 63, changes are not made to any compliance standard, reporting, or recordkeeping requirement. For this notice, the EPA is only proposing revisions to sections of the subpart pertaining to source testing or monitoring of emissions and operations. **III. Summary of Amendments**  A. Appendix M of Part 51 In the introduction of Appendix M of part 51, Methods 3A and 19 would be added to the list of methods not requiring the use of audit samples. Method 3A is a direct measurement instrumental method which the audit program does not evaluate, and Method 19 deals with calculation procedures and not measurement procedures. B. Method 201A of Appendix M of Part 51 Revisions would be made to the Method 201A published on December 21, 20 10. Typographical errors in refere nces to isokinetic sampling rate, source gas temperatures, stack blockage dimensions by thePage **10** of **181**

sampling heads, and PM 10 in Sections 8.3.4(b) , 8.3.4.1, 8.7.2.2, and 8.7.5.5(a), respectively, would be corrected. An erroneous reference to Method s 4A and 5 in Sec tion 10.1 when using a standard pitot tube would be corrected to refer to Method s 1 and 2 . Section 10.5 , which addresses Class A volumetric glassware , would be deleted because it is not needed in the method. For those filters whose weight cannot be weighted to a constant weight in Section 11.2.1 , instruction would be added to flag and report the data as a minimum value. It would be noted that the nozzle, front half , and in
- stack filter samples need to be speciated into organic and inorganic fractions to be similar to the practice in Method 17. The method would also note that neither Method 17 nor 201A require a separate analysis of the filter for inorganic and organic particulate matter. Method 201A is often used together with Method 202 which require s a separate analysis of inorganic and organic PM. This note would remind testers that a separate analysis is not required for M ethod 201A . An incorrect term in Equation 9 of Section 12.5 would be corrected. In the nomenclature in Section 12.1, V b , the vol ume of aliquot taken for ion chromatography (IC) analysis, would be deleted since no IC analysis is performed. C. Method 202 of Appendix M of Part 51 Revisions would be made to the Method 202 published on December 21, 2010. In Section 8.5.3.1, the text refe rring to empty impingers would be deleted because empty impingers are not used . Figures 2 and 3 would be revised to correctly show the first impinger with anPage **11** of **181**

extended stem instead of a shortened one to be consistent with the method text , and the condensed moisture and sample portion of the sampling train would be labeled to make it easy to identif y . Figures 4, 5, and 6 would be republished because they did not print clearly in the December 21, 2010 publication . D. General Provisions (Subpart A) Part 60 In the General P rovisions of part 60, Methods 3A and 19 would be added to the list of methods not requiring the u se of audit samples in § 60.8(gd) . Method 3A is a direct measurement instrumental method which the audit program does not evaluate, and Method 19 deals with calculation procedures in lieu of measurement procedures. A new §60.8(h ) would be added to require that sampling sites be evaluated for cyclonic flow and stratification before testing . C yclonic flow and gas stratification has not been adequately addressed in the past except for particulate measurement methods . O ur experience has been that gaseous pollutant measurements may also be affected by these phenomena. Procedures currently used in Methods 1 and 7E would be referenced for all test s to evaluate the suitability of test locations and give procedures for testing under conditions of gas stratification and cyclonic flow to preclude non
- representative sampling . A new § 60.8( i )would be added to allow the use of Method 205 of 40 CFR p art 51 , Appendix M, “Verification of Gas Dilution Systems for Field Instrument Calibrations,” as an alternative provision w henever the use of multiple calibrat ion gases is required under part 60.Page **12** of **181**

Method 205 has previously been allowed for different applications on
a case - by
- case basis. Method 205 reduce s the number of cylinder gases needed for a test by allowing lower
- concentration gases to be generated from a high
- level gas. Section 60.13(d)(1) would be revised to remove the phrase “automatically, intrinsic to the opacity monitor” which was incorrectly inserted into the paragraph in a past revision . The title of an organization in a method that is incorporated by reference would be updated in §60.17(e), and the edition of the method referred to in §60.17(e)(1) would be updated to reflect the currently available version. E. Industrial
- Commercial
- Institutional Steam Generating Units (Subpart Db) Part 60 In subpart Db, Method 320 would be added as an alternative to the methods fo r determining nitrogen oxides ( NO x ) concentration in §60.46b(f)(1)(ii), (h)(1) and (2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) concentration in §60.47b(b)(2). The EPA has allowed the use of Method 320 in the past on a case
- by
- case basis and now believes it is appropriate for general use. F. Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (Subpart Ec) Part 60 In subpart Ec, the definition of medical/infectious wa stes in §60.51c would be revised to correct the misspelling of “cremation.” G. Sulfuric Acid Plants (Subpart H) Part 60 In Subpart H, an equation for calculating the SO 2 emission rate in §60.84(d) would be corrected.Page **13** of **181**

H. Sewage Treatment Plants (Subpart O ) Part 60 In subpart O, a reference to Method 209F in §60.154(b)(5) would be revised to reflect a newer available version of the method (i.e., 2540G). I. Kraft Pulp Mills (Subpart BB) Part 60 In subpart BB, a typographical error in the equation in §60.284( c)(3) would be corrected. J. Stationary Gas Turbines (Subpart GG) Part 60 In subpart GG, the definitions of terms for the equation in §60.335(b)(l) would be revised to allow the reference combustor inlet absolute pressure to be measured in millimeters of mercury ( mm Hg). Using the site b arometric pressure gives comparable results to the observed combustor inlet absolute pressure for calculating the mean NO x emission concentration and would be allowed as an alternative . K. Lead
- Acid Battery Manufac turing Plants (Subpart KK) Part 60 In subpart KK, Method 29 would be added as an alternative to Method 1 2 in §6 0 . 374 ( b ) (1)and (c)(2) for determining the lead concentration and flow rate of the effluent gas. Method 29 is an accepted method for determining lead under other rules and is appropriate for this subpart as well . Also, a n error in the equation for calculating the lead emission concentration in 60.374(b)(2) would be corrected. L. Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (Subpart LL) Part 60 In subpart LL, an error in the value of the particulate matter standard in §60.382(a)(1) would be corrected from 0.02 g/dscm to 0.05Page **14** of **181**

g/dscm. An alternative procedure , where a single visible emission observer may conduct visible emission observations for up to three fugit ive, stack, or vent emission points within a 15
- second interval , would be added to §60.386 . This alternative w ould allow the observer to take readings in a more cost - effective and timely manner than currently allowed . M. Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacture (Subpart UU ) Part 60 In subpart UU, an error in the value of the particulate matter standard for saturated felt or smooth
- surfaced roll roofing in §60.472(a)(1)(ii) would be corrected from 0.04 kg/Mg to 0.4 kg/Mg. N. Volatile Organic Comp ound (VOC) Emissions from Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation Operations (Subpart NNN) Part 60 In subpart NNN, several paragraphs were renumber e d in a previous amendment, but conforming changes in sections that referenced these paragraphs were not made . In §60.660(c)(4) and §60.665(h)(2) and (3), these references would be corrected. O. Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (Subpart I III) Part 60 In Subpart IIII, the use of Method 1 or 1A for sampling point selection would be dropped , and single
- point sampling at the centroid of the exhaust would be added. T he exhausts of most regulated engines are too small and not equipped with sampling ports . This makes it difficult to div ide the exhaust into multiple sampling
- pointPage **15** of **181**

locations as required by Methods 1 and 1A. Table 7 would be revised to delete the requirement to use Method 1 or 1A . P . Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (Subpart JJJJ) Part 60 In Subpart JJJJ, the exhausts of most regulated engines do not contain sampling ports and are too small to be subdivided into multiple sampling
- point locations. Table 2 would be revised to delete the requirement to use Method 1 or 1A for determining sampli ng site and sampling
- point location, and instruction would be added to sample at the centroid of the exhaust. Q. Method 1 of Appendix A
- 1 of Part 60 In Method 1, Section 11.2.2 would be clarified to note that it specifically applies to gaseous measurements . T he provisions in the section for determining exhaust gas stratification would be streamlined to make them consistent with the new stratification provisions in Method 7E. Figure s 1
- 1 and 1
- 2 would be clarified to note that the horizontal coordinates represe nt the duct diameters from the sampling point to the flow disturbance and not simply the duct diameters from the flow disturbance. Figure 1
- 2 would also be corrected to show the proper demarcation between the requirement for 12 and 16 sampling points. The test for the presence or absence of cyclonic flow would be required for all tests instead of recommended at sites suspected of having cyclonic flow . R. Method 2 of Appendix A
- 1 of Part 60Page **16** of **181**

In Method 2, a pressure stability specification that has been lacking for the pitot tube leak
- check would be added to clearly note the desired stability . A n er roneous reference to a Figure 2
- 6B would be corrected to reference Figure 2
- 7B. An error in a term in the denominator of Equation 2
- 7 would be corrected to the average of the square root of delta P rather than the square root of the average delta P. The velocity constant in English units used in Equation 2
- 7 would be corrected by changing m/sec to ft/sec. The term for absolute temperature in Equations 2
- 7 and 2
- 8 would be corrected to represent the average of the absolute temperatures; a n inadvertently omitted term would be added to Section 12.1 for the average absolute temperature; and calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alter native to calibrating against a mercury barometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products . S. Method 2A of Appendix A
- 1 of Part 60 In Method 2A, calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products . T . Method 2B of Appendix A
- 1 of Part 60 In Method 2B, nomenclature errors would be corrected and the assumed ambient carbon dioxide concentration used in the calculations would be changed from 300 to 380 ppm to closer approximate current ambient levels . U. Method 2D of Appendix A
- 1 of Part 60Page **17** of **181**

In Method 2D, calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products . V. Method 3A of Appendix A
- 2 of Part 60 In Method 3A, a redundant sentence noting that pre
- cleaned air may be used for the high
- level calibration gas would be deleted. W. Method 4 of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60 In Method 4, the English value for the leak rate exceedance in Section 9.1 would be corrected fro m 0.20 cfm to 0.020 cfm. Method 6A , Method 320 , and a calculation using F
- factors would be added as alternatives to Method 4 for the moisture determination . These are logical alternatives in cases where Methods 6A and 320 are already being used, and the F - factors approach can save both time and expenses in some cases. X. Method 5 of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60 In Method 5, a clarification would be added that the deionized water used in the analysis of material caught in the impingers must have ≤0.001 percent res idue; the factor K would be corrected to K' in Equation 5
- 13; calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products ; calibrating a temperature sensor against a thermometer equivalent to a mercury - in
- glass thermometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury
- in
- glass thermometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products ; rechecking temperature sensor s f or thePage **18** of **181**

filter holder and metering system after each test has been found to be sufficient and would replace having sensors calibrated within 3o F; the option to check the probe heater calibration after a test at a single point using a reference thermometer would be added; the use of weather station barometric pressure corrected to testing point elevation would be added as an option to having a n on - site barometer; mention of stopcock grease for air
- tight impinge r seals would be deleted since it is outdated an d not often used ; a smaller acetone cleanup blank is determined sufficient and a single blank per container would be allowed in place of a blank from each wash bottle; Section 10.3.3 would be clarified as a post - test metering system calibration check rathe r than a metering system calibration, and an alternative metering check procedure would be added; the Isostack metering system would be noted as an acceptable system for determin ing sample flow rates; the use of a Teflon filter holder would be allowed without having to obtain the Administrator’s approval first ; and Reference 13 for post
- test calibration would be added to the method. Y. Method 5 A of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60 In Method 5A, mercury
- free thermometers would be added as an alternative to mercury
- i n - glass thermometers to facilitate the use of mercury - free products . Z. Method 5E of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60 In Method 5E, the use of the Rosemount Model 2100A total organic content analyzer would be replaced with the Tekmar
- Dohrmann orPage **19** of **181**

equivalent analyzer, a s neither the Rosemount analyzer nor any similar dual
- injection analyzer is currently manufactured. Also, Section 12.5 inadvertently labels the equation for total particulate concentration as Eq. 5E
- 4, which would be corrected to Eq. 5E
- 5. AA. Method 5H of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60 In Method 5H, Section 12.1 would be revised to add missing terms C i , C o , Q i , and Q o ; and procedures for the determination of an alternative tracer gas flow rate would be added. BB. Method 6 of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 In Method 6, calibrating a temperature sensor against a thermometer equivalent to a mercury
- in
- glass thermometer would be added as an alternative to using a mercury
- in
- glass thermometer , and calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer . These revisions would facilitate the use of mercury
- free products. CC . Method 6C of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 In Section 4.0 of Method 6C, an incorrect reference to Section 4.1 of Method 6 would be corrected to reference Section 4.0 of Method 7E . P rovisions that were removed from the original method that addressed potential quenching effects in fluorescence analyzers would be added again . It was previously believed that current fluorescence analyzers are not affected by quenching effects; however , we were informed that the provisions are still needed in many cases. DD. Method 7 of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60Page **20** of **181**

In Method 7, procedures would be added t o avoid b iased results when sampling under conditions of high SO 2 concentrations ; calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer; and calibrating a temperature sensor a gainst a thermometer equivalent to a mercury - in
- glass thermometer would be added as an alternative to using a mercury - in
- glass thermometer . These revisions would facilitate the use of mercury
- free products. EE. Method 7A of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 In Method 7A, new procedures would be added to avoid b iased results when sampling under conditions of high SO 2 concentrations , and calibrating a temperature sensor against a thermometer equivalent to a mercury - in
- glass thermometer would be added as an alte rnative to using a mercury - in
- glass thermometer to facilitate the use of mercury - free products . FF. Method 7E of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 In Method 7E, the instructions for choosing the high
- level calibration gas would be clarified. I nstructions would be added to minimize contact of the sample with any condensate to reduce the chance of sample loss , and a n error in the traverse point locations used to determine stratification across large stacks would be corrected . A statement noting that the str atification test is not required at sources with temporally varying emissions or low
concentration emissions would be added since a stratification test under such conditions would be meaningless or difficult to pass . ThePage **21** of **181**

basis of a stable response for meas urements in the system response time determination would be revised in Section 8.2.5 to conform with Section 8.2.6 . The response time reading would be recorded after the concentration reading has reached 95 percent or within 0.5 ppm of a stable response fo r the gas i n stead of after reach ing 95 percent of the certified gas concentration . This change removes a potential conflict between the response time stable reading criterion and the bias or system calibration error test criterion. A lternative sampling bags made of materials other than Te dlar would be allowed if the material s are applicable for retaining the compounds of interest . Tedlar bags are no longer being produced . GG. Method 8 of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 In Method 8, corrections would be made to errors in the sample aliquot volumes required for containers 1 and 2 and in the values for V a and V soln . Figure 8
- 1 would be clarified to identify which impingers collect sulfuric acid/sulfur trioxide and which collect sulfur dioxide. HH. Method 10 of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60 Method 10 would be revised to allow the use of sample tanks as an alternative to flexible bags for sample collection. T anks are an acceptable collection medium , are currently allowed for carbon monoxide in other EPA methods , and are appropriate for Method 10 as well . II. Method s 10A and 10B of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60Page **22** of **181**

In Methods 10A and 10B, sampling bags made of materials other than Tedlar would be allowed if the materials have the sample retaining qualities of Tedlar. Tedlar bags are no longer produced. JJ. Method 11 of Appendix A
- 5 of Part 60 Method 1 1 would be revised to address sample breakthrough at high concentrations. A n additional collection impinger would be added to the train whenever the final impinger solution exhibits a yellow color.

- in
- glass thermometer would be added as an alternative to using a mercury - in
- glass thermometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products . KK. Method 12 of Appendix A
- 5 of Part 60 Method 12 would be revised to allow an analysis by i nductively coupled plasma
- atomic emission spectrometry (ICP
- AES) or cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS) as alternative s to atomic absorption (AA) analysis . The ICP
- AES is currently an approved technique for lead analysis in Method 29 , and CVAFS offers comparable sensitivity and precision to AA . LL. Method 14A of Appendix A
- 5 of Part 60 In Section 10.1.1 of Method 14A, we inadvertently referenced Figure 5
- 6. This reference would be corrected to Figure 5
- 5. MM. Method 16A of Appendix A
- 6 of Part 60 In Method 16A, the applicability section would note that method results may be bias ed low i f used at sources other than kraft pulp mills where stack oxygen levels m ay be lower.Page **23** of **181**

NN. Method 18 of Appendix A
- 6 of Part 60 In Method 18, sampling bags made of materials other than Tedlar would be allowed if the materials are applicable for retaining the compounds of interest . Tedlar bags are no longer produced. OO. Method 23 of Appendix A
- 7 of Part 60 In Method 23, the requirement in Section 2.2.7 that silica gel be stored in metal containers is unnecessary and would be deleted. Section 4.2.7 would be clarified to note that the used silica gel should be transferred to its origina l container or other suitable vessel if moisture is being determined. If moisture is not being determined, the spent silica gel may be discarded. M ercury - free thermometers would be added as an alternative to using mercury
- in
glass thermometers to facilitat e the use of mercury
- free products . PP. Method 24 of Appendix A
- 7 of Part 60 Method 24 would be revised to cite only ASTM Method D2369 and not the specific sections of th e method, since the section numbers may change with periodic updates. QQ. Method 25 of Append ix A
- 7 of Part 60 In Method 25, more detailed information would be added to describe the filters used for sample collection. RR. Method 25C of Appendix A
- 7 of Part 60 Method 25C would be revised to allow sampling lines made of Teflon . Probes that have c losed point s and are driven below surface in a single step and withdrawn at a distance to create a gas gap would be allowed as acceptable substitutes to using pilot probe s andPage **24** of **181**

the auger procedure. An equation for correct ing the sample nitroge n concentration for tank dilution would be added as a supplemental calculation option. SS. Method 25D of Appendix A
- 7 of Part 60 In Method 25D, errors in cross - references within the method would be corrected. TT. Method 26 of Appendix A
- 8 of Part 60 Method 26 would be revised to allow the use of heated Teflon probes in place of glass
- lined probes. Conflicting temperature requirements for the sampling system would be c larified . The note to keep the probe and filter temperature at least 20  C above the source temperature would be removed because the specification is not needed at higher temperature stacks . T he location of the thermocouple that monitor s the collected gas temperature would be clarified as being in the gas stream , not the filter box. Method 26A would be an acceptable alternative to Method 26 since the methods are fundamentally similar and give comparable results when determining non
- particulate hydrogen halides. UU. Method 29 of Appendix A
- 8 of Part 60 Method 29 would be revised to allow samples to be analyzed by CVAFS as an alternative to AA analysis since CVAFS is as sensitive and precise as AA. VV. Method 30 B of Appendix A
- 8 of Part 60Page **25** of **181**

In Method 30 B , calibrating a barometer against a NIST
- traceable barometer would be added as an alternative to calibrating against a mercury barometer to facilitate the use of mercury
- free products . WW. Performance Specification 1 of Appendix B of Part 60 In Performance Specification 1 , the terms “full scale” and “span” w ould be noted as hav ing the same meaning. XX. Performance Specification 3 of Appendix B of Part 60 In Performance Specification 3, a statement that allows the relative accuracy to be within 20 percent of the reference method would be added to establish the original intent of the rule . This statement was inadvertently deleted in a previous amendment.
YY. Performance Specification 4 of Appendix B of Part 60 Performance Specification 4 would be revised to remove the require d use of the interference trap specified in Method 10 w hen evaluating non
- dispersive infrared continuous emission monitoring systems against Method 10. This is an old requirement, and the trap is not needed with modern analyzers. ZZ. Performance Specification 4B of Appendix B of Part 60 Performance Specification 4B would be clarified to note that Equation 1 in Section 7.1 .1 for calculating calibration error only applies to the carbon monoxide monitor and not the oxygen monitor. It would be noted f or the oxygen monitor that the calibration error should be expressed as the oxygen concentration difference between the mean mon itor and reference value at three levels.Page **26** of **181**

AAA. Performance Specification 7 of Appendix B of Part 60 Performance Specification 7 would be revised to allow Methods 15 and 16 as reference methods in addition to Method 11 . Methods 15 and 16 are approved for determining hydrogen sulfide and are appropriate for this application. Methods 15 and 16 are approved EPA reference methods for a number of sources. A pertinent reference would also be added to the r eferences section. BBB. Pe rformance Specification 11 of Appendix B of Part 60 In Performance Specification 11, errors in the denominators of Equations 11
- 1 and 11
- 2 would be corrected. CCC. Performance Specification 1 5 of Appendix B of Part 60 In Performance Specification 15, the general references to 40 CFR p art 60, Appendix B for the relative accuracy analysis procedure would specifically cite Performance Specification 2 of 40 CFR p art 60, Appendix B. DDD. Performance Specification 1 6 of Appendix B of Part 60 Performance Specification 16 would be clarified to answer questions that have arisen since its publication. Retesting a predictive emission monitoring system ( PEMS ) after a sensor is replaced would be explained more clearly . A llow ances would be made for relative accur acy testing at three load or production rate levels in case s where the key operating parameter could not be readily altered. A dditional instruction would be added for performing the relative accuracy audit (RAA). A n error in the RAA acceptance criterion w ould be corrected, and an alternative acceptance criterionPage **27** of **181**

for low concentration measurements would be added . The yearly relative accuracy test audit would clearly note that the statistical tests in Section 8.3 are not required. A n incorrect reference to Equation 16
- 4 in Section 12.4 would be corrected. EEE. Procedure 1 of Appendix F of Part 60 In Procedure 1, the relevant performance specification would be cited for the RAA calculation instead of using the current Equation 1
- 1 which is not appropriate for al l pollutants. FFF. Procedure 2 of Appendix F of Part 60 In Procedure 2, E quations 2
- 2 and 2
- 3 would be revised to have the full
- scale value in the denominator , which is more appropriate than the up
- scale check value . The denominator of equation 2
- 4 would be revised to include the volume of the reference device rather than the full
- scale value. These revisions reflect the original intent of the rule. GGG. Procedure 5 of Appendix F of Part 60 In Procedure 5, the second section listed as Section 6.2.6 would be corr ect ly numbered as Section 6.2.7 . HHH . General Provisions (Subpart A) Part 61 In the General Provisions of part 61, Methods 3A and 19 would be added to the list of methods not requiring the use of audit samples in §61.13(e).

Method 29 is used to determine arsenic under other rules and is appropriate for this subpart as well . MMM. Method 101 of Appendix B of Part 61 Method 1 01 would be revised to allow analysis by I CP - AES or CVAFS as alternatives to AA analysis. These techniques are allowedPage **29** of **181**

for dete rmining mercury in other approved methods and are appropriate for Method 101 as well. They were not available when Method 101 was promulgated . NNN. Method 101A of Appendix B of Part 61 Method 1 01A would be revised to allow analysis by I CP - AES or CVAFS as alternatives to AA analysis. These techniques are allowed for determining mercury in other approved methods and are appropriate for Method 101A as well. They were not available when Method 101A was promulgated. OO O . Method 102 of Appendix B of Part 61 In Method 102, mercury
- free thermometers would be allowed in place of mercury - in
- glass thermometers to facilitate the use of mercury - free products . PPP. Method 104 of Appendix B of Part 61 Method 1 04 would be revised to allow analysis by I CP - AES as an alternative to AA analysis. This new technique is acceptable for measuring beryllium and was not available when Method 10 4 was promulgated. A new alternative procedures section would be added to address ICP
- AES. QQQ. Method s 108 and 108A of Appendix B o f Part 61 Method s 108 and 108A would be revised to allow analysis by I CP AES as an alternative to AA analysis. This new technique is acceptable for measuring arsenic and was not available when Methods 108 and 108A w ere promulgated. A new alternative procedures section would be added to address ICP
- AES.Page **30** of **181**

RRR. General Provisions (Subpart A) Part 63 In the General P rovisions of part 63, Method s 3 A and 19 would be added to the list of methods not requiring the use of audit samples in §63.7(c) . These were inadvertent omissions of the original rule. In § 63.8(f)(6)(iii) , an incorrect reference to a section of Performance Specification 2 would be corrected.
SSS. Syntheti c Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (Subpart G) Part 63 Subpart G would be revised to allow the use of Method 8260B in the SW
- 846 Compendium of Methods or Method 316 to determine hazardous air pollutant concentrations in wastewater streams in §63.1 44(b)(5)(i). Both methods are appropriate for this application but were not considered during the original rule development . TTT . Chromium Emissions From Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks (Subpart N) Part 63
South Coast Air Qual ity Management District Method 205.1 would be added as a testing option for measuring total chromium. Method 205.1 is appropriate for this application , but its application to this rule was not considered during the original rule development .
UUU . Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standard s for Sterilization Facilities (Subpart O) Part 63 The ethylene oxide emissions standards for sterilization facilities NESHAP would be revised to allow California Air ResourcesPage **31** of **181**

Board (CARB) Method 431 as an alternative to the procedures in §63.365(b) for determining efficiency at the sterilization chamber vent. Method 431 is appropriate for this application but was not considered during the original rule development. An error in a reference to a section in Performance Specification 8 would also be corrected. VVV. Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (Subpart Y) Part 63 The marine tank vessel loading operations NESHAP would be revised to allo w Method 25B as an alternative to Method 25A in §63.565(d)(5) for determining the average volatile organic compound ( VOC ) concentration upstream and downstream of recovery devices. Method 25B would be allowed as an alternative to Method s 25 and 25A for det ermining the percent reduction in VOC in §63.565(d)(8), and the requirement that Method 25B be validated according to Method 301 in §63.565(d)(10) would be added. Method 25B would also be added as an alternative to Method 25A in determining the baseline ou tlet VOC concentration in §63.565(g). Method 25B uses a different detector than Method 25A but gives comparable results to Method 25A in these applications. WWW. Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (Subpart GG) Part 63 The aerospace manufacturing a nd rework facilities NESHAP would be revised to remove an incorrect reference to the location of Method 319 in §63.750(o). XXX. Pharmaceuticals Production (Subpart GGG ) Part 63Page **32** of **181**

The pharmaceuticals production NESHAP would be revised to allow Method 320 as an alternative to Method 18 for d emonstrating that a vent is not a process vent . Method 320 is a broadly applicable method that is acceptable in this application because it is self
- validating. YYY. Secondary Aluminum Production (Subpart RRR) Part 63 The secondary aluminum production NESHAP would be revised to allow Method 26 as an alternative to Method 26A in §63.1511(c)(9) for determining hydrochloric acid (HCl) concentration. Method 26 is the

- isokinetic sampling for HCl is performed.

ZZZ . Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast (Subpart CCCC) Part 63 Table 2 in the manufacturing of nutritional yeast NESHAP would be revised to delete the requirements to use Methods 1, 2, 3, and 4 when measuring VOC by Method 25A. Methods 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required for particulate matter sampling and the VOC in this application is normally not particulate in nature.
AAAA. Petroleum Refiner ies: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units (Subpart UUUU) Part 63

Table 4 in the petroleum refineries: catalytic cracking units, catalytic reforming units, and sulfur recovery units NESHAP would be revised to allow Method 320 a s an alternative to Method 18 for determining control device efficiency for organic compounds. MethodPage **33** of **181**

320 is a broadly applicable method that is acceptable in this application because it is self
- validating. BBBB. Stationary Reciprocating Internal Com bustion Engines (Subpart ZZZZ) Part 63

Table 4 in the stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines NESHAP would be revised to clarify that a heated probe is not necessary when using ASTM D6522 to measure oxygen or carbon dioxide concentrations beca use condensed moisture is normally not an interferent to these compounds . The requirement to use Method 1 or 1A for sampling site and sampling point location would be deleted because the exhausts are small and have temporally varying emissions . I nstruction would be added to sample at the centroid of the stack. CCCC. Method 306 of Appendix A of Part 6 3

Method 306 would be revised to remove references to two figures that do not exist and to add clarifying information about the conditions under which ICP i s appropriate for sample analysis. Alternative mercury

In Method 321, the term for dilution factor in the calculations would be clarified.
**IV. Request for Comments**  The Agency is reviewing the adequac y of its current test methods in regard to sampling site selection and sampling point requirements. E mission gas flow pattern s affect representative testing, and this is not addressed in many EPA test methods . Method 1 contains provisions for s ampling point location s, traversing, and determination of cyclonic flow , and Method 7E was revised to contain p ro cedures for determining gaseous stratification in 2006. However, there are no requirements in most methods to follow the Method 1 or 7E procedures. Method 7E allows stratification to be assessed through either a 3
- or 12
- point traverse while measuring variations in either a pollutant or diluent concentration. The degree of stratification determines whether a single
- point, 3
- , or 12
- point traverse is used for the test. There are no requirements to check for c yclonic flow in Method 7E . We have i nformation that suggests deficiencies exist in the 3
- point test in a number of cases and that at least a 5
- point, dual axis test should be required. A summary of this information has beenPage **35** of **181**

included in the regulatory docket. We are also reconsidering the appropriateness of a diluent gas for the test instead of the regulated pollutant . In this proposed rule, we would update the General Provisions of Parts 60, 61, and 63 to include evaluations of gas stratification and cyclonic flow with all compliance tests. The Agency solicits your comments and data to aid in establishing effective and equitable procedures. **V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews**  A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and R egulatory Review This action is not a "significant regulatory action" under the terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore not subject to review under E xecutive O rders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq . Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The amendments being proposed in this action to the test methods and testing regulations do not add information collection requirements but make needed corrections and updates to existing testing methodology. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subje ct toPage **36** of **181**

notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities inc lude small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small entities, small entity is defined as (1) a small business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not - for
- profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. After considering the economic impacts of this rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small ent ities. This proposed rule will neither impose emission measurement requirements beyond those specified in the current regulations, nor will it change any emission standard. As such, it will not present a significant economic impact on small entities . D. U nfunded Mandates Reform Act This action contains no f ederal mandates under the provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531
- 1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. The action imposes n o enforceable duty on any State, local orPage **37** of **181**

tribal governments or the private sector . Therefore, this action is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of the UMRA. This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of UMRA b ecause it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action corrects and updates current testing regulations and does not add any new requirements. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of go vernment, as specified in Executive Order 13132. This action simply corrects minor errors and makes updates to current source testing methods to maintain their original intent. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this action . In the spirit of Exe cutive Order 13132, and consistent with the EPA policy to promote communications between the EPA and State and local governments, the EPA specifically solicits comment on this proposed rule from State and local officials. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This proposed rule imposes no requirements on tribal governments. This actio nPage **38** of **181**

simply corrects and updates current testing regulations. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action . The EPA specifically solicits additional comment on this proposed action from tribal officials. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health and Safety Risks The EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 F.R. 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5
- 501 of the EO has the potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to EO 13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks. H. Executive Order 13211 : Actions Concerning Regulations That Sign ificantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. I. National Technology Transfer and Adva ncement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (“NTTAA”), Public Law No. 104
- 113 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inc onsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractica l. V oluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that arePage **39** of **181**

developed or adopted by voluntary consensus s tandards bodies. NTTAA directs the EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This proposed rulemaking involve s technical standards. The EPA proposes to use ASTM D975
- 076, developed and adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This standard may be obtained from ASTM at 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428
- 2959. ASTM D975
- 076 has been determined to be at le ast as stringent as currently required ASTM D396 for defining “distillate oil.” ASTM D975
- 076 is required in some State permits for this purpose and end users have asked that it be allowed as an alternative to D396 under 40 CFR 60.41c . J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low
- Income Populations Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs f ederal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low
- income populations in the United States. The EPA has determined that this proposed rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmentalPage **40** of **181**

effects on minorit y or low
- income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. This rule corrects and updates current testing regulations and does not cause emission increases from regulated
sources.Page **41** of **181**

For the reasons stated in the preamble, the Environmental Protection Agency proposes to amend title 40, chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows: **P ART**  **51 –**  **REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARATION, ADOPTION, AND SUBMITTAL OF**  **IMPLEMENTAT ION PLANS**  1. The authority citation for part 51 continues to read as follows: Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 , et. seq. 2. In Appendix M by revising Section 4(a) of the introduction to read as follows: **Appendix M to Part 51 —**  **Recommended Test Methods for State**  **Implementation Plans** 4 . * * *
a. The source owner, operator, or representative of the tested facility shall obtain an audit sample, if commercially available , from an AASP for each test method used for regulatory compliance purposes. No audit sam ples are required for the following test methods: Methods 3A and 3C of Appendix A
- 3 of Part 60, Methods 6C, 7E, 9 , and 10 of Appendix A
- 4 of Part 60, Methods 18 and 19 of Appendix A
- 6 of Part 60, Methods 20, 22, and 25A of Appendix A
- 7 of Part 60, and Meth ods 303, 318, 320, and 321 of Appendix A of Part 63. If multiple sources at a single facility are tested during a compliance test event, only one audit sample is required for each method used during a compliance test. The compliance authority responsible for the compliance test may waive the requirement toPage **43** of **181**

i nclude an audit sample if they believe that an audit sample is not necessary. “Commercially available” means that two or more independent AASPs have blind audit samples available for purchase. If the source owner, operator, or representative cannot find an audit sample for a specific method, the owner, operator, or representative shall consult the EPA Web site at the following URL, http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc, to confirm whether there is a source that can supply an audit sample for that method. If the EPA We b site does not list an available audit sample at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the compliance test, the source owner, operator, or representative shall not be required to include an audit sample as part of the quality assurance program for the c ompliance test.

In Method 201A of Appendix M by revising Section s 8.3.4 (b) , 8.3.4.1, 8.7.2.2, 8.7.5.5(a), the introductory paragraph of Section 10.1, Sections 10.1.3, 11.2.1, Equation 9 in Section 12.5, and by deleting Section 10.5 and the term “V b ” and its definition from Section 12.1 to read as follows: **Method 201A —**  **Determination of PM 10**  **and PM 2.5**  **Emissions f**  **rom Stationary Sources (Constant Sampling Rate Procedure)**  * * * * * 8.3.4 * * * (b) The appropriate nozzle to maintain the required gas sampling rate for the velocity pressure range and isokinetic range. If thePage **45** of **181**

isokinetic range cannot be met (e.g., batch processes, extreme process flow or temperature variation), void the sample or use methods subject to the approval of the Administrator to correct the data. The acceptable variation from isokinetic sampling is 80 to 120 per cent and no more than 100 ± 21 percent ( 2 out of 12 or 5 out of 24) sampling points outside of this criteria. * * * * * 8.3.4.1 Preliminary traverse . You must use an S - type pitot tube with a conventional thermocouple to conduct the traverse. C onduct th e preliminary traverse as close as possible to the anticipated testing time on sources that are subject to hour

- hour gas flow rate variations of approximately ± 20 percent and/or gas temperature variations of approximately ± 10°C (± 18 °F). (Note: You sh ould be aware that these variations can cause errors in the cyclone cut diameters and the isokinetic sampling velocities.) * * * * * 8.7.2.2 Probe blockage factor . You must use Equation 26 to calculate an average probe blockage correction factor (b f ) if the diameter of your stack or duct is between 25.7 and 36.4 inches for the combined PM 2.5 /PM 10 sampling head and pitot and between 18.8 and 26.5 inches for the PM 2.5 cyclone and pitot. A probe blockage factor is calculated because of the flow blockage caused by the relatively large cross
- sectional area of the cyclone sampling head, as discussed in Section 8.3.2.2 and illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 of Section 17. You must determine the cross
- sectional area of the cyclone head youPage **46** of **181**

use and determine its st ack blockage factor. (Note: Commercially
available sampling heads (including the PM 10 cyclone, PM 2.5 cyclone, pitot and filter holder) have a projected area of approximately 31.2 square inches when oriented into the gas stream. As the probe is moved from t he outer most to the inner most point, the amount of blockage that actually occurs ranges from approximately 13 square inches to the full 31.2 inches plus the blockage caused by the probe extension. The average cross
- sectional area blocked is 22 square inche s. * * * * * 8.7.5.5 * * * (a) Container #1, Less than or equal to PM 2.5 micrometer filterable particulate . Use tweezers and/or clean disposable surgical gloves to remove the filter from the filter holder. Place the filter in the Petri dish that you labeled with the test identification and Container #1. Using a dry brush and/or a sharp
- edged blade, carefully transfer any PM and/or filter fibers that adhere to the filter holder gasket or filter support screen to the Petri dish. Seal the container. This container holds particles less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers that are caught on the in
- stack filter. (Note: If the test is conducted for PM 10 only, then Container #1 would be for less than or equal to PM 10 micrometer filterable particulate.) * * * * * 10.1 Gas Flow Velocities. You must use an S - type pitot tube that meets the required EPA specifications (EPA Publication 600/4

Transfer the filter and any loose particulate from the sample container to a tared weighing dish or pan that is inert to solvent or mineral acids. Desiccate for 24 hours in a de s i c cator containing anhydrous calcium sulfa te. Weigh to a constant weight and report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg. (See Section 3.0 for a definition of c onstant weight.) If constant weight requirements cannot be met, data should be reported and flagged as a minimum value. (Note: Regardless of the stack temperature , you are not required to speciate the Method 201A nozzle, front half or in
- stack filter sample into organic and inorganic fractions. Neither Method 17 nor 201A require separate analysis of the filter for inorganic and organic PM. Sinc e the in
- stack filter samples collected at ≤ 30  C (85

* * * * * 11.2.2 Velocity and Gaseous (Non
- Particulate) Traverses. Perform a stratification test to determine the appropriate number of sample traverse points. If testing for multiple pollutants or diluents at the same site, a stratification test using only one pollutant or diluent satisfies this requirement. A stratification test is not required for small stacks that are less than 4 inches in diameter. When the 8
- and 2
- diameter criter ion can be met, the minimum number of traverse points for the stratification test will be 12. T est for stratification us ing a probe of appropriate length toPage **74** of **181**

measure the gas concentration at the required traverse points located according to Table 1

– 2. Alter natively (if the 8
- and 2
- diameter criterion is met) , you may measure the gas concentration at three points on a line passing through the centroidal area. Space the three points at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3 percent of the measurement line. Sample for a minimum of twice the system response time at each traverse point. Calculate the individual point and mean concentrations. If the concentration at each traverse point differs from the mean concentration for all traverse points by no more than: (a) ± 5.0 percent of the mean concentration; or (b) ± 0.5 ppm (whichever is less restrictive), the gas stream is considered unstratified and you may collect samples from a single point that most closely matches the mean. If the 5.0 percent or 0.5 ppm criterion is not met, but the concentration at each traverse point differs from the mean concentration for all traverse points by no more than: (a) ± 10.0 percent of the mean; or (b) ± 1.0 ppm (whichever is less restrictive), the gas stream is considered to be minimally stratified, and you may take samples from three points. Space the three points at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3 percent of the measurement line. Alternatively, if a 12
- point stratification test was performed and the emissions were shown to be minimally stratified (all points within ± 10.0 percent of their mean or within ± 1.0 ppm), and if the stack diameter (or equivalent diameter, for a rectangular stack or duct) is greater than 2.4 meters (7.8 ft), then you may use 3
- point sampling and locate the three points along the measu rementPage **75** of **181**

line exhibiting the highest average concentration during the stratification test at 0.4, 1.0 and 2.0 meters from the stack or duct wall. If the gas stream is found to be stratified because the 10.0 percent or 1.0 ppm criterion for a 3

* * * * * 8.7.3 Before moving the sample train to the cleanu p site, remove the probe from the sample train and cap the open outlet of the probe. Be careful not to lose any condensate that might be present. Cap the filter inlet where the probe was fastened. Remove the umbilical cord from the last impinger, and cap t he impinger. If a flexible line is used between the first impinger or condenser and the filter holder, disconnect the line at the filter holder, and let any condensed water or liquid drain into the impingers or condenser. C ap off the filter holder outlet a nd impinger inlet. Either ground

For each container of acetone used for cleanup, save 200 ml and place it i n a glass sample container labeled “acetone blank.” To minimize any particulate contamination, rinse the wash bottle prior to filling from the tested container. Take 200 ml of this acetone directly from the wash bottle being used, and place it in a glass sample container labeled “acetone blank.” * * * * * 10.3.3 Acceptable Variation in Calibration Check . If the DGM coefficient values obtained before and after a test series differ by more than 5 percent, the test series shall either be voided, or calculations for the test series shall be performed using whicheverPage **87** of **181**

Use a heat source to generate air heated to selected temperatures that approximate those expected to occur in the sources to be sampled. Pass this air through th e probe at a typical sample flow rate while measuring the probe inlet and outlet temperatures at various probe heater settings. For each air temperature generated, construct a graph of probe heating system setting versus probe outlet temperature. The proce dure outlined in APTD
– 0576 can also be used. Probes constructed according to APTD

– 0581 need not be calibrated if the calibration curves in APTD

– 0576 are used. Also, probes with outlet temperature monitoring capabilities do not require calibration. As an a l ternative, the following single
point calibration procedure may be used. After each test run series, check the accuracy (and, hence, the calibration) of each thermocouple system at ambient temperature, or any other temperature, within the range specified b y the manufacture r , using a reference thermometer (either ASTM reference thermometer or a thermometer that has been calibrated against an ASTM reference thermometer). The temperatures of the thermocouple and reference thermometers shall agree to within ±2 o F. NOTE : The probe heating system shall be calibrated before its initial use in the field. 10.5 Temperature Sensors. U se the procedure in Section 10.3 of Method 2 to calibrate in

16.1.2.1 Tracer Gas. The tracer gas is s ulfur hexafluoride in an appropriate concentration for accurate analyzer measurement or pure sulfur dioxide. The gas used must be nonreactive with the stack effluent and give minimal (<3 percent) interference to measurement by the gas analyzer. 16.1.3 Procedure. Select upstream an d downstream locations in the stack or duct for introducing the tracer gas and delivering the sampled gas to the analyzer. The inlet location should be 8 or more duct diameters beyond any upstream flow disturbance. The outlet should be 8 or more undisturbe d duct diameters from the inlet and 2 or more duct diameters from the duct exit. After installing the apparatus, meter a known concentration of the tracer gas into the stack at the inlet location. Use the gas sample probe and analyzer to show that no strat ification of the tracer gas is found in the stack at the measurement locations. Monitor the tracer gas concentration from the outlet location and record the concentration at 10

Other materials are potentially acceptable, subject to approval by the Administrator. 2) The interference, calibration error, and system bias criteria must be met. 3) Sample flo w rate must be maintained within 10 percent of the flow rate at which the system response time was measured. 4) All system components (excluding sample conditioning components, if used) must maintain the sample temperature above the moisture dew point. Ensure minimal contact between any condensate and the sample gas. Section 6.2 provides example equipment specifications for a NO x measurement system. Figure 7E

* * * * * 7.1.1 High
- Level Gas. This concentration is chosen to set the calibration span as defined in Section 3.4. Choose this high
- level concentration so that emission measurements will be within 20 to 100 percent of this concentration. * * * * * 8.1.2 Determination of Stratification. Perform a stratification test at each test site to determine the appropriate number of sample traverse points. If testing for multiple p ollutants or diluents at the same site, a stratification test using only one pollutant or diluent satisfies this requirement. A stratification test is not required for small stacks that are less than 4 inches in diameter. To test for stratification, use a probe of appropriate length to measure the NO x (or pollutant of interest) concentration at 12 traverse points located according to Table 1
- 1 or Table 1
- 2 of Method 1. Alternatively, you may measure at three points on a line passing through the centroidal area. Space the three points at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3 percent of the measurement line. Sample f or a minimum of twice the system response time (see Section 8.2.6) at each traverse point. Calculate the individual point and mean NO x concentrations. If the concentration at each traverse point differs from the mean concentration for all traverse points b y no more than: (a) ±5.0 percent of the mean concentration; or (b) ±0.5 ppm (whichever is less restrictive), the gas stream is considered unstratified and you may collect samples from a single point that most closely matches thePage **101** of **181**

mean. If the 5.0 percent or 0.5 ppm criterion is not met, but the concentration at each traverse point differs from the mean concentration for all traverse points by no more than: (a) ±10.0 percent of the mean; or (b) ±1.0 ppm (whichever is less restrictive), the gas stream is consi dered to be minimally stratified, and you may take samples from three points. Space the three points at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3 percent of the measurement line. Alternatively, if a 12 point stratification test was performed and the emissions shown to be minim ally stratified (all points within ± 10.0 percent of their mean or within ±1.0 ppm), and if the stack diameter (or equivalent diameter for a rectangular stack or duct) is greater than 2.4 meters (7.8 ft), then you may use 3
- point sampling and locate the th ree points along the measurement line exhibiting the highest average concentration during the stratification test at 0.4, 1. 2 , and 2.0 meters from the stack or duct wall. If the gas stream is found to be stratified because the 10.0 percent or 1.0 ppm crite rion for a 3
- point test is not met, locate 12 traverse points for the test in accordance with Table 1
- 1 or Table 1
- 2 of Method 1 . This stratification test may not be meaningful at sources with temporally varying emissions or where emission concentrations a re low. In these cases, the stratification test is not required. * * * * * 8.2.5 Initial System Bias and System Calibration Error Checks. Before sampling begins, determine whether the high
- level or mid
- level calibration gas best approximates the emissions and use it as thePage **102** of **181**

upscale gas. Introduce the upscale gas at the probe upstream of all sample conditioning components in system calibratio n mode. Record the time it takes for the measured concentration to increase to a value that is within 95 percent or 0.5 ppm (whichever is less restrictive) of a stable response for both the low
- level and upscale gases. Continue to observe the gas concentra tion reading until it has reached a final, stable value. Record this value on a form similar to Table 7E

Fill the remainder of the bag with mid

- level NO in N 2 (or other appropriate
c oncentration) calibration gas. (Note that the concentration of the NO standard should be sufficiently high enough for the diluted concentration to be easily and accurately measured on the scale used.
