Current through June 24, 2024
(1)
				  SITE-SPECIFIC TEST PLAN. Prior to conducting any performance test required by
				  this subchapter, the owner or operator shall prepare a site-specific test plan
				  which satisfies all of the requirements of this section, and shall obtain
				  review and evaluation of the plan by the department pursuant to the procedures
				  in s.
				  NR
				  460.06.
(2) INITIAL PERFORMANCE TEST.
(a) Following the review and evaluation of
				  the site-specific test plan, the owner or operator shall demonstrate initial
				  compliance with each applicable emission, equipment, work practice or
				  operational standard for each affected source and emission unit, and report the
				  results in the notification of compliance status report as described in s.
				  NR
				  463.17(2). The owner or operator of
				  any existing affected source for which an initial performance test is required
				  to demonstrate compliance shall conduct this initial performance test no later
				  than the date for compliance established by s.
				  NR
				  463.115(1). The owner or operator of
				  any new affected source for which an initial performance test is required shall
				  conduct this initial performance test within 90 days after the date for
				  compliance established by s.
				  NR
				  463.115(2). Except for the date by
				  which the performance test shall be conducted, the owner or operator shall
				  conduct each performance test in accordance with the requirements and
				  procedures in s.
				  NR
				  460.06(2). Owners or operators of
				  affected sources located at facilities which are area sources are subject only
				  to those performance testing requirements pertaining to D&F. Owners or
				  operators of sweat furnaces meeting the specifications of s.
				  NR
				  463.13(6) are not required to conduct
				  a performance test.
(b) The owner
				  or operator shall conduct each test while the affected source or emission unit
				  is operating at the highest production level with charge materials
				  representative of the range of materials processed by the unit and, if
				  applicable, at the highest reactive fluxing rate.
(c) Each performance test for a continuous
				  process shall consist of 3 separate runs; pollutant sampling for each run shall
				  be conducted for the time period specified in the applicable method or, in the
				  absence of a specific time period in the test method, for a minimum of 3
				  hours.
(d) Each performance test
				  for a batch process shall consist of 3 separate runs; pollutant sampling for
				  each run shall be conducted over the entire process operating cycle.
(e) Where multiple affected sources or
				  emission units are exhausted through a common stack, pollutant sampling for
				  each run shall be conducted over a period of time during which all affected
				  sources or emission units complete at least one entire process operating cycle
				  or for 24 hours, whichever is shorter.
(f) Initial compliance with an applicable
				  emission limit or standard is demonstrated if the average of 3 runs conducted
				  during the performance test is less than or equal to the applicable emission
				  limit or standard.
