Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 201 - PERMITS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS › Subpart M - PERMIT BY RULE (PBR) - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 201.530 - Recordkeeping and Reporting

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The owner or operator of the emission unit must:
a) Keep and maintain all records used to
				demonstrate initial compliance and ongoing compliance with the applicable
				requirements of Subpart M and the applicable PBR Subpart, as well as any
				additional records required by and reported pursuant to those Subparts, for at
				least five years from the date the document is created and make all records
				available to the Agency for inspection and copying upon request. These records
				include any records required by State or federal laws or regulations and any
				materials submitted to the Agency or USEPA pertaining to the emission unit. Any
				record retained in an electronic format must be capable of being retrieved and
				printed on paper during normal source office hours.
b) Notify the Agency of the emission unit's
				actual start-up date no later than 30 days after that date, unless an earlier
				date is specified in the applicable PBR.
c) Except as otherwise provided in this
				Subpart M or the applicable PBR Subpart, submit a written report of any
				deviations from the applicable emission standards, emission limitations,
				operational restrictions, qualifying criteria, work practice requirements, or
				control equipment operating parameter limitations set forth in this Subpart M
				and the applicable PBR Subpart. The report must be submitted to the Agency
				within 30 days after the date the deviation occurred and must describe the
				deviation (including the date, time, and duration of the deviation), identify
				the specific requirement from which the deviation occurred and the total amount
				of excess emissions during the deviation, and describe the probable cause of
				the deviation and any corrective actions or preventive measures that have been
				or will be taken.
d) If required to
				conduct a performance test:
1) Submit to the
				Agency a testing protocol as required by the applicable PBR Subpart at least 45
				days prior to the scheduled performance test. Upon written request directed to
				the Bureau of Air's Compliance Section, the Agency may waive the 45-day
				requirement. A waiver is only effective if it is provided in writing by the
				Bureau of Air;
2) Notify the Agency
				in writing of the date of performance testing at least 30 days prior to testing
				and again 5 days prior to the testing, unless the emission unit is subject to
				other State or federal requirements that specify a longer notification period.
				Upon written request directed to the Bureau of Air's Compliance Section, the
				Agency may waive either or both of these requirements. A waiver is only
				effective if it is provided in writing by the Bureau of Air;
3) If, after the 30-day notice for an
				initially scheduled performance test is sent, there is a delay (e.g., due to
				operational problems) in conducting the test as scheduled, notify the Agency of
				the delay in the original test date, directed to the Bureau of Air's Compliance
				Section, as soon as practicable. This must be done either by providing at least
				a 7-day notice of the rescheduled date of the test or by arranging a new test
				date with the Agency by mutual agreement;
4) Not later than 60 days after the
				completion of the performance test, submit the results of the test to the
				Agency.
