Monitoring is not required for owners or operators of batch cold cleaning machines. Performance tests are required only if the idling emission limit standards are being used to comply with the rule and no vendor-supplied test is available for the specific model cleaning machine. The initial performance test demonstrates compliance with the idling standard and establishes monitoring parameters to demonstrate continued compliance. If required by EPA during an inspection, owners or operators of batch vapor and in-line cleaning machines must demonstrate knowledge of work practices and proper solvent cleaning machine operations by taking and passing an operator's test. An operator test is not required for owners or operators of batch cold cleaning machines.
Weekly monitoring is required for the freeboard refrigeration device and super heated vapor system.
When reducing room draft by controlling room parameters, the parameters must be monitored weekly, while the actual measurement of the windspeed must be done quarterly. The frequency of hoist monitoring will be required only quarterly after a year of operation without an exceedance, or if an owner or operator can demonstrate that their hoist speed cannot exceed the specified limit. Monitoring is not required for owners or operators of batch cold cleaning machines. For owners or operators of batch vapor or in-line cleaning machines electing to comply with the alternative standards, the amounts of solvent added to the solvent tank as well as the solvent composition of wastes removed from the cleaning machines, must be monitored and recorded. This information is used to determine the overall solvent emissions.
