Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Whenever the Executive Officer finds that it is necessary to determine
					 compliance of any source with permit conditions or with any State or local law,
					 order, rule, or regulation relating to air pollution, including confirmation of
					 the reliability, accuracy and precision of any in-stack monitoring equipment,
					 he or she may require the testing of such source by qualified personnel of the
					 State Board, by an independent contractor to the State Board, or by an
					 independent tester specified by the responsible party upon approval by the
					 Executive Officer.
(b) For testing
					 conducted by the State Board's personnel or an independent contractor to the
					 Board, the responsible party shall pay a fee in accordance with the following
					 schedule to cover the cost of planning, preliminary evaluation, sampling,
					 sample analysis, calculations, and report preparation with respect to samples
					 of emissions secured from the source. The fees listed in the schedule shall be
					 the maximum fees and shall be reduced by the Executive Officer if the actual
					 cost to conduct a specific test is less. Fees for any compliance test not
					 listed in the schedule shall be determined by the Executive Officer based on
					 the cost to conduct the test.
