Section 6.3.2 for the purpose of determining compliance with an
applicable standard or numerical limitation, the arithmetic average of
three (3) 30-consecutive-minute test runs shall apply.  If two (2) of
three (3) runs are above an applicable limit, the test cannot be used to
demonstrate compliance with an applicable limit.   VOC shall be reported
as methane.  VOC, NOx, and CO concentrations shall be reported in ppmv,
corrected to 15 percent oxygen.  For engines that comply with a percent
reduction limit in Table 1, the percent reduction of NOx emissions shall
also be reported.

6.3.5	Engines that are limited by Permit-to-Operate or Permit-Exempt
Equipment Registration condition to be fueled exclusively with PUC
quality natural gas shall not be subject to the reoccurring source test
requirements of Section 6.3.2 for VOC emissions.

6.3.6	Representative Testing

For spark-ignited engines, in lieu of compliance with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.3.2, compliance with the applicable emission
limits in Section 5.1 shall be demonstrated by submittal of annual
emission test results, within 30 days of the test date, to the District,
from a unit or units that represents a specified group of units,
provided all of the following are requirements are satisfied:

6.3.6.1 	The units are located at the same stationary source;

6.3.6.2  	The units were produced by the same manufacturer, have the
same	model number or other manufacturer’s designation in common, and
have the same rated capacity and operating specifications;

6.3.6.3	The units are operated and maintained in a similar manner; and

6.3.6.4	At least 20% of the total number of units are tested during each
	annual test cycle.

The District, based on documentation submitted by the stationary

source:	

6.3.6.5.1	Determines that the margin of compliance for the identical
units tested is significant and can be maintained on an on-going basis;
or

	6.3.6.5.2  Determines based on a review of sufficient emissions data
that, though the margin of compliance is not substantial, other factors
allow for the determination that the variability of emissions for
identical tested units is low enough for confidence that the untested
unit will be in compliance.  These factors may include, but are not
limited to, the following:

6.3.6.5.2.1 Historical records at the tested unit 	showing consistent
invariant load;

6.3.6.5.2.2	Fuel characteristics yielding low variability and therefore
assurance that emissions will be constant and below allowable levels;

6.3.6.5.2.3	Statistical analysis of a robust emissions data set
demonstrate sufficiently low variability to convey assurance that the
margin of compliance, though small, is reliable.  

6.3.6.6	Should any of the representative units exceed the required
emission limits, or if the District notifies the operator that the
criteria in Sections 6.3.6.1 through 6.3.6.5 have not been fulfilled,
each of the units in the group shall individually demonstrate compliance
by emissions testing.  Failure to complete emissions testing within 90
days of the failed test shall result in the untested units being in
violation of this rule.  After compliance with the requirements of
Section 6.3.6.6 has been demonstrated, subsequent source testing shall
be performed pursuant to Sections 6.3.2 or 6.3.6.

6.4	Test Methods

Compliance with the requirements of Section 5.0 shall be determined, as
required, in accordance with the following test procedures or any other

Fi 	is the actual total fuel used by the engine during the 7 (seven)
consecutive calendar day period.

ki 	is a constant used to convert an engine’s fuel use and NOx
emission factor to the amount of NOx emitted.  ki is dependent on the
engine and the pollutant emitted.  Calculation of ki shall be
accomplished using 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 19, or an
equivalent method approved by EPA, ARB and the APCO.

8.1.2	The estimated aggregate NOx emissions limit (AELimit) is the sum
of the NOx emissions, over a 7 (seven) consecutive calendar day period,
for the same engines in the AECP which were actually operated during the
same period as considered in Section 8.1.1, calculated with the NOx
limits of Section 5.1 and the actual fuel usage during that 7 (seven)
consecutive calendar day period.  AELimit shall be calculated as
follows:

 

where:

i 	identifies each engine in the AECP.

ELi 	is the NOx emission limit from Section 5.1 for each engine.

Fi 	is the actual total fuel used by the engine during the 7 (seven)
consecutive calendar day period.

8.3.3	Contain any information necessary to determine eligibility of the
engines for alternative emission control, including, but not limited to:

8.3.3.1	A list of engines subject to the AECP.  All engines in an AECP
shall be under the operational control of a single owner and shall be
located at a single stationary source.

8.3.3.2	The NOx emission factor established by the engine owner for each
engine pursuant to Section 8.2.  

8.3.3.3	The estimated aggregate NOx emissions calculated according to
Section 8.1.2.

8.3.4	Present the methodology for determining equivalency of actual NOx
emissions under the proposed AECP as compared to the estimated NOx
emissions allowed by this rule.

8.3.5	Detail the method of recording and verifying daily compliance with
the AECP.

8.3.6	Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the APCO that the difference
between the NOx emission limits of this rule and any lower actual NOx
emissions will not be used to increase emissions from the same or
another source.

8.3.7	Demonstrate that the engines subject to the requirements of
Section 5.1 are in compliance with or on an approved schedule for
compliance with all applicable District rules.

8.4	The owner shall submit an updated or modified AECP for approval by
the APCO prior to any of the following:

8.4.1	Modification of the engine(s) which would require an
Authority-to-Construct.

8.4.2	When new or amended rules are adopted which regulate the emissions
from the engines.

8.4.3	When the NOx emission factor established by the engine owner for
an engine pursuant to Section 8.2 is modified.

8.5	In addition to the records kept pursuant to Section 6.2, the owner
shall maintain records, on a daily basis, of the parameters needed to
demonstrate compliance with the applicable NOx emission limits when
operating under the AECP.  These records shall be retained for at least
five years, shall be readily available, and be made available to the
APCO upon request.  The records shall include, but are not limited to,
the following for each engine unless otherwise indicated:

8.5.1	Total hours of operation.

8.5.2	Type and quantity (cubic feet of gas or gallons of liquid) of fuel
used.

8.5.3	The actual NOx emissions limits to be included in the calculation
of AEActual  pursuant to Section 8.1.1.

the applicable NOx emission limits when operating under the AECP.

8.6	For the purpose of determining the quantity of spark-ignited engines
in compliance pursuant to Section 7.6, a spark-ignited engine in an AECP
shall not be considered to be in compliance until all spark-ignited
engines in the AECP that have been designated to meet more stringent NOx
emission factors pursuant to Section 8.2 are in compliance with the
rule.
