Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A. Initial and replacement performance
				specification testing for a CEMS shall be conducted as follows.
(1) For a CEMS, either the performance
				specification testing in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B or 40 CFR Part 75
				applies.
(2) For a CERMS, either
				the performance specifications of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Specification 6
				or 40 CFR Part 75 Appendix A applies.
(3) All performance specification testing
				shall be performed within 180 days of the CEMS initial installation. For a
				facility using a CEMS:
(a) Like-kind
				replacement analyzers can be used to serve as a backup for a certified
				analyzer, for up to a 720 hour period of interim monitoring per calendar year
				without having to meet the Part 60 initial certification requirements. A
				like-kind replacement analyzer is defined as the same make and model
				(regardless of series identification) as the analyzer it is replacing. This
				analyzer would use the same probe and sample interface as the certified CEM.
In order for the data to be considered valid the analyzer
				  must pass a Cylinder Gas Audit (CGA) prior to each use as required in 40 CFR
				  Part 60, Appendix F after the analyzer is installed in the monitoring location.
				  It also must comply with the daily QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix
				  B. If after 720 hours the like-kind replacement analyzer isn't certified, then
				  the emissions data collected beyond that point is considered invalid. The
				  like-kind replacement analyzers may not be used to report data at the affected
				  unit or stack for more than 720 hours in a 12 month period, unless the CEMS
				  passes all certification procedures at the installed location.
(b) Replacement analyzers that are
				not like-kind, require performance specification testing that must be completed
				within 30 days of being installed. This grace period may not be utilized more
				than once every 12 month period for any particular analyzer. .
(c) Performance specification testing must be
				conducted within 90 days of a CEMS replacement installation if the emissions
				unit has been inoperative for 12 or more consecutive months.
(d) Continuous EPA reference method testing
				is allowed as an alternative to performing the specification testing.
(4) Written summaries of test
				results must be submitted to the Department within thirty (30) days of the
				completion of the test. If specific EPA reference method reporting deadlines
				allow longer, this Chapter defers to the EPA deadline. If any of the options of
				Section 4(A) (3) (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Chapter are used,the Bureau must
				be notified in writing within 48 hours. This information shall also be included
				in the quarterly report along with the number of hours that the option has been
				used.
