Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
Compliance with
				  20.2.41.109
				  NMAC shall be determined in accordance with the requirements specified in this
				  section:
A. Annual running average
				emissions shall be calculated at the end of each calendar day. The smelter
				shall be in violation if two (2) consecutive annual averages exceed the
				emission limit and the second average exceeds the first average. The smelter
				shall also be in violation if ten (10) consecutive annual averages exceed the
				annual average emission limit;
B.
				The median running 3-hour average for the previous 365 days shall be calculated
				at the end of each calendar day. Such compliance determinations shall be
				calculated at the end of each day for each compliance period;
C. Compliance with the cumulative occurrence
				tables in 20.2.41.109 NMAC shall be determined on the basis of all running
				three-hour averages measured in the previous 365 days or less. Such compliance
				determinations shall be calculated at the end of each day. Three-hour averages
				shall be calculated at the end of each clock hour by averaging the hourly
				emissions for the preceding three (3) consecutive hours whenever each hour was
				measured in accordance with 20.2.41.109 NMAC and subsections A, B and C of
				20.2.41.111 NMAC.
D. If the smelter
				is not operating for an extended period of time, and with the approval of the
				Department, zeros may be recorded on an hourly basis without operating the
				continuous monitoring system if emissions to the atmosphere are shown to be
				below ten (10) pounds per hour;
E.
				A three-hour emissions average in excess of an emission level (E) is a
				violation if the number of all three-hour emissions averages that exceed the
				emission level (E) measured during the compliance period exceeds the cumulative
				occurrence limit (N);
F. The
				compliance period shall consist of the 365 days immediately preceding each
				day;
G. A three-hour emissions
				average can only violate the cumulative occurrence limit (N) of an emissions
				level (E) in the day containing the last hour in the average;
H. Multiple exceedances of a cumulative
				occurrence limit by different three-hour emissions averages containing any
				common hour constitute a single violation.
