I.D.6.d. Monitoring. Except as provided in Section I.D.6.a.(vi), owners or operators of an engine subject to Section I.D.6.a. must:
I.D.6.d.(i) Beginning on May 1, 2025 or within 6 months of any Division established compliance deadline pursuant to Section I.D.6.b.(vii)., conduct annual portable analyzer monitoring for NOx. At least six calendar months must separate the annual tests.
I.D.6.d.(i)(A) If the engine is operated for less than 200 hours in any 12-month period, then the portable analyzer monitoring need not occur during that annual period (i.e., the engine does not need to be started for the sole purpose of portable monitoring).
I.D.6.d.(i)(B) All portable analyzer testing required by this section must be conducted using the Division's Portable Analyzer Monitoring Protocol (version: March 2006).
I.D.6.d.(i)(C) Tuning of an engine prior to annual monitoring events required by this Section I.D.6.d.(i) is not a violation of this rule. However, readjustment of an engine set point following the monitoring event that would negatively impact the performance (i.e., result in increased emissions above applicable permit limits) of the engine is a violation of this rule.
I.D.6.d.(i)(D) A performance test conducted pursuant to Section I.D.6.c., 40 C.F.R. Part 60, JJJJ, IIII, or a permit requirement may take the place of the next required annual portable analyzer test required by this section.
I.D.6.d.(i)(E) An engine subject to at least annual portable analyzer testing requirements in an existing permit issued by the Division can comply with this Section I.D.6.d.(i) by complying with the testing requirements in the permit.
I.D.6.d.(ii) For natural gas-fired engines, beginning May 1, 2024, if a catalyst is used to reduce emissions:
I.D.6.d.(ii)(A) Monitor the inlet temperature to the catalyst weekly and conduct maintenance if the temperature is not within applicable limits.
I.D.6.d.(ii)(B) Measure the pressure drop across the catalyst monthly and conduct maintenance if the pressure drop is greater than 2.0 inches of water outside the baseline value established after each annual portable analyzer monitoring.
I.D.6.d.(ii)(C) Engines that are subject to catalyst temperatures and catalyst pressure drop monitoring requirements in an existing permit issued by the Division or 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ (July 1, 2023) satisfy the monitoring requirements of this Section I.D.6.d.(ii).
I.D.6.d.(iii) Conduct the following inspections and adjustments at least annually, unless otherwise specified, beginning in 2025.
I.D.6.d.(iii)(A) Change oil and filters as necessary; and,
I.D.6.d.(iii)(B) Inspect air cleaners, fuel filters, hoses, and belts and clean or replace as necessary; and,
I.D.6.d.(iii)(C) Inspect spark plugs and replace as necessary; or,
I.D.6.d.(iii)(D) Conduct a combustion process adjustment according to the manufacturer recommended procedures and schedule. Alternatively, the owner or operator may rely on a combustion process adjustment conducted in accordance with requirements and schedules of a New Source Performance Standard in 40 CFR Part 60 (July 1, 2023) or National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants in 40 CFR Part 63 (July 1, 2023) conducted during the same annual period to satisfy the annual combustion process adjustment requirement of this Section I.D.6.d.(iv)(D) for that 12-month period.
I.D.6.e. Recordkeeping. The following records must be kept for a period of five years and made available to the Division upon request.
I.D.6.e.(i) Records of performance tests conducted pursuant to Section I.D.6.c., including I.D.6.c.(i)(D), including the date, engine settings on the date of the test, and documentation of the methods and results of the testing.
I.D.6.e.(ii) Records of annual portable analyzer monitoring, including the date, engine settings on the date of the monitoring, and documentation of the results of the monitoring. These records must include any demonstration that no annual portable analyzer monitoring was required as provided under Sections I.D.6.d.(i)(D) or I.D.6.d.(i)(E), if applicable.
I.D.6.e.(iii) For natural gas-fire engines, records of catalyst monitoring required by Section I.D.6.d.(ii) and any actions taken to address monitored values outside the temperature or pressure drop parameters, including the date and a description of actions taken.
I.D.6.e.(iv) If claiming an exemption under Section I.D.6.a.(vi), records demonstrating that fuel combustion was less than 100 MMBtu per year or hours of operation are less than 250 hours per year.
I.D.6.e.(v) Hours of operation at least on a calendar month basis.
I.D.6.e.(vi) Records of tuning, adjustments, or other combustion process adjustments required under Section I.D.6.d.(iii), including:
I.D.6.e.(vi)(A) The date of the adjustment.
I.D.6.e.(vi)(B) A description of any corrective action taken.
I.D.6.e.(vi)(C) If the owner or operator conducts the combustion process adjustment according to the manufacturer recommended procedures and schedule and the manufacturer specifies a combustion process adjustment on an operation time schedule, the hours of operation since the last combustion process adjustment and the procedures followed. The owner or operator must retain documentation of any relied upon manufacturer recommended procedures, specifications, and maintenance schedule for five years after the owner or operator ceases to rely upon it.
I.D.6.e.(vi)(D) If the owner or operator conducts the combustion process adjustment according to a New Source Performance Standard or National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants, what standard applied and what procedures were followed.
I.D.6.f. Reporting.
I.D.6.f.(i) Beginning on the date specified and by May 1 of each year thereafter, the owner or operator of each engine subject to this Section I.D.6. must submit the following information covering the preceding calendar year.
I.D.6.f.(i)(A) Beginning May 1, 2024, a statement of the status of performance testing required under Section I.D.6.c., and the date and results of that testing (i.e., pass or fail).
II.D.6.f.(i)(B) Beginning May 1, 2025, an identification of any engines placed in service, modified, relocated, or replaced, including AIRS number, serial number, location, engine configuration, and a certification as to whether the emission standards in Table 5 are met.
I.D.6.f.(i)(C) Beginning May 1, 2026, the date on which the monitoring required by Sections I.D.6.d.(iii) was performed.
I.D.6.f.(i)(D) Beginning May 1, 2026, the date that all required annual portable analyzer testing was performed under Section I.D.6.d.(i), and the results of that testing (i.e., pass or fail).
