				depressed (snapped) and held at governed speed for several seconds, then
				returned to idle. This procedure is repeated according to manufacturer's
				instructions while the equipment measures the opacity of the smoke;
				and
(10) The operator will be given
				an inspection report documenting the final results of the diesel emissions
				inspection.

				standards. If certification is not made within 30 days, the owner or operator
				shall be assessed a two hundred fifty-dollar ($250) fine for the first
				violation.
C. The owner or operator
				of any diesel-powered motor vehicle that fails the emission opacity standards
				for the second and subsequent times shall be assessed a five hundred-dollar
				($500) fine. The 30-day period allowed for making repairs and certifying

				any emissions units are in operation, and at such other times as the Department
				deems necessary for the purpose of performing tests, collecting samples,
				conducting inspections, or examining and copying records relating to emissions
				(Title 38 MRSA §347-C). Prior to entrance to the owner's property, the
				Department shall notify the owner and the operator, or a designee, shall
				provide safe access that complies with safety requirements of all local, state,
				and federal regulating authorities as well as all written safety standard
				operating procedures for that facility.
(2) The owner shall pay the annual air
				emission general permit fee to the Department, pursuant to Title 38 M.R.S.A.
				§353-A, 10. Failure to pay this annual fee within the stated timeframe is
				sufficient grounds for revocation of the CIN.
(3) The CIN does not convey any property
				rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
(4) The owner shall comply with all
				applicable terms and conditions of this general permit. The filing of an
				appeal, the notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance, or
				the filing of an application for an air emission license issued under the
				authority of 06-096 CMR Ch. 115 shall not stay any condition of this general
				permit.
(5) The owner shall not use
				as a defense in an enforcement action that the disruption, cessation, or
				reduction of operations would have been necessary in order to maintain
				compliance with the conditions of the general permit.
(6) Notwithstanding any other provisions in
				the State Implementation Plan approved by the EPA or Section 114(a) of the CAA,
				any credible evidence may be used for the purpose of establishing whether a
				person has violated or is in violation of any statute, regulation, or Part 70
				license requirement.
(7) Upon
				written request from the Department, the owner shall establish and maintain
				such records, make such reports, install, use and maintain such monitoring
				equipment, sample such emissions (in accordance with such methods, at such
				locations, at such intervals, and in such a manner as the Department shall
				prescribe), and provide other information as the Department may reasonably
				require to determine compliance status.
