Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  Unless a rule specifies otherwise, during a period of monitoring system
				  malfunction the owner or operator of a source shall not be required to monitor
				  or report emissions if the owner or operator of the source shows that the
				  malfunction was unavoidable, is being repaired as expeditiously as practicable,
				  and no applicable requirements are violated. The owner or operator of the
				  source shall, upon request of the Director, provide documentation of continuous
				  monitoring system performance when system repairs or adjustments have been
				  made. Malfunctions of the monitoring system that result from inadequate or poor
				  operation and maintenance practices shall not be exempted from monitoring and
				  reporting requirements. Operation and maintenance practices may be specified by
				  the manufacturer, federal regulation, Rule, or a permit condition.
(b) The owner or operator of a source that
				  operates less than 30 days per 12-month period shall not be required to monitor
				  emissions from that source unless Subchapters 02D and 02Q of this Chapter
				  specifies otherwise. However, the owner or operator shall maintain records to
				  document that the source was operated less than 30 days per 12-month
				  period.
(c) The owner or operator
				  of a source exempted from needing a permit by
				  15A NCAC
				  02Q .0102 shall not be required to monitor
				  emissions from that source unless;
(1)
				  required by a specific rule in Subchapters 02D and 02Q of this Chapter,
				  or
(2) required as a part of an
				  enforcement settlement.
However, the owner or operator shall maintain records to
					 document that the source qualifies for the permit exemption.

North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 02 - Environmental Management › Subchapter D - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS › Section .0600 - MONITORING: RECORDKEEPING: REPORTING › Section 02D .0612 - ALTERNATIVE MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCEDURES

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  Except as set forth in Paragraph (b) of this Rule, the owner or operator of a
				  source may petition the Director to allow monitoring or data reporting
				  procedures varying from those prescribed by Subchapters 02D or 02Q of this
				  Chapter.
(b) This Rule shall not
				  apply to monitoring or reporting requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, 61, 62, 63,
				  75, or 97.
(c) To petition to use
				  alternative monitoring or data reporting procedures in place of those
				  procedures in Rules
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .0606,
				  02D .0607, or .0608 or Sections
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .0900,
				  02D .1200, or .1400, the owner or
				  operator of the source shall submit a written petition to the Director
				  containing the following:
(1) the name and
				  address of the company and the name and telephone number of a responsible
				  official, as defined by
				  15A NCAC
				  02Q .0303:
(2) a description of the sources at the
				  facility to which the petition applies;
(3) identification of the rule or rules for
				  which the alternative is sought;
(4) the basis or reason that alternative
				  monitoring and reporting procedure is more desirable than those prescribed by
				  the rule;
(5) a proposal of
				  alternative monitoring and reporting procedure;
(6) a demonstration that the alternative
				  procedure is at least as accurate as that prescribed by the rule;
(7) a showing that one or more of the
				  following conditions exist:
(A) a continuous
				  monitoring system or other device prescribed by the rule would not provide
				  accurate determinations of emissions;
(B) the emissions from two or more sources of
				  different design and operating characteristics are combined before release to
				  the atmosphere or the emissions are released to the atmosphere, through more
				  than one point;
(C) the
				  requirements prescribed by the rule would impose an extreme economic burden on
				  the source owner or operator. The determination of an extreme economic burden
				  shall be made on the basis of whether meeting the requirements prescribed by
				  the rule would produce serious hardship without equal or greater benefit to the
				  public;
(D) the monitoring systems
				  prescribed by the rule cannot be installed because of physical limitations at
				  the facility. The determination of such limitations shall be made on the basis
				  of whether meeting the requirements prescribed by this Rule would necessitate
				  reconstruction of the facility; or
(E) the alternative monitoring or reporting
				  procedure is more accurate and precise than that prescribed by the
				  rule;
(8) any other
				  information that the petitioner believes would be helpful to the Director in
				  evaluating the application.

(a)
				  Any owner or operator of a facility required to operate a monitoring device by
				  this Subchapters 02D or 02Q of this Chapter shall develop and implement a
				  quality assurance program for the monitoring device.
(b) The Director shall require the owner or
				  operator of a facility required to operate a monitoring device by Subchapters
				  02D or 02Q of this Chapter to submit a description of the quality assurance
				  program if:
(1) the maximum actual emission
				  rate is more than 75 percent of the applicable emission standard;
(2) the facility has violated an emission
				  standard or a permit condition; or
(3) the facility has failed to obtain quality
				  assured data.
A description of the quality assurance program shall be
					 submitted to the Director within 60 days upon receipt of request.
North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 02 - Environmental Management › Subchapter D - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS › Section .0600 - MONITORING: RECORDKEEPING: REPORTING › Section 02D .0614 - COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE MONITORING

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General Applicability. Except as set
				  forth in Paragraph (b) of this Rule, the requirements of this Rule shall apply
				  to a pollutant-specific emissions unit, as defined in  40 CFR 64.1, at a
				  facility required to obtain a permit pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q .0500 if the
				  unit:
(1) is subject to an emission limitation
				  or standard for the applicable regulated air pollutant, or a surrogate thereof,
				  other than an emission limitation or standard that is exempt pursuant to
				  Subparagraph (b)(1) of this Rule;
(2) uses a control device to achieve
				  compliance with any such emission limitation or standard; and
(3) has potential pre-control device
				  emissions of the applicable regulated air pollutant that are equal to or
				  greater than 100 percent of the amount, in tons per year, required for a source
				  to be classified as a major source. For purposes of this Rule, "potential
				  pre-control device emissions" means the same as "potential to emit" as defined
				  in  40 CFR 64.1, except that emission reductions achieved by the applicable
				  control device shall not be taken into account.

(b) If the volatile
				  organic compound emissions test shows noncompliance, the owner or operator of
				  the volatile organic source shall submit, along with the final test report, the
				  proposed corrective action.
(c)
				  Compliance shall be determined on a line-by-line basis using the more stringent
				  of the following two:
(1) Compliance shall be
				  determined on a daily basis for each coating line using a weighted average by
				  dividing the sum of the mass in pounds of volatile organic compounds in
				  coatings consumed on that coating line, as received, and the mass in pounds of
				  volatile organic compound solvents added to the coatings on that coating line
				  by the volume in gallons of coating solids consumed during that day on that
				  coating line; or
(2) Compliance
				  shall be determined as follows:
(A) When low
				  solvent or high solids coatings are used to reduce emissions of volatile
				  organic compounds, compliance shall be determined instantaneously.
(B) When add on control devices, such as
				  solvent recovery systems or incinerators, are used to reduce emissions of
				  volatile organic compounds, compliance shall be determined by averaging
				  emissions over a one-hour period.
