Section 1117-2.0 - Sampling and Monitoring

2.1 Upon written request of the Department, an owner or operator of an air contaminant source shall, at his expense, install, maintain, and use emission monitoring devices, keep records, and make periodic reports to the Department on the nature and amount of emissions from such source. The Department shall make such data available to the public as reported and as correlated with any applicable emission standards or limitations.

2.2 Upon written request of the Department, an owner or operator of an air contaminant source shall, at his expense, sample the emissions of, or fuel used by, that source, maintain records and submit reports to the Department on the results of such sampling. The Department may make such data available to the public as reported and as correlated with any applicable emission standards or limitations.

2.3 The Department may conduct tests of emissions from or fuel used by any air contaminant source. Upon written request of the department, the owner or operator of the air contaminant source shall provide necessary holes in stacks or ducts, and such other safe and proper sampling and testing facilities, exclusive of instruments and sampling devices, if any are necessary, for proper determinations of the emission of air contaminants. The department shall have access to and use of monitoring, record-keeping and reporting required by federal regulations relating to emissions of air contaminants. The department may make such data available to the public as reported or received and as correlated with any applicable emissions standards or limitations.

2.4 Upon written request of the department, an owner or operator of an air contaminant source consisting of ships, boats or other waterborne craft engaged in a bulk transfer operation shall, at his expense, provide for the installation, operation and maintenance of such environmental monitoring equipment and appropriate laboratory or other scientific analyses which the Department deems necessary to determine the impact upon the environment of air contaminants emitted from the source.

In the event that the Department provides such monitoring and analytical services for the owner or operator, the Department may recover the cost of such environmental monitoring activities as a fee or fees for any construction or operation permit issued to the owner or operator by the Department.

When more than one bulk transfer operation is permitted to transfer the same solid material within the limits of Big Stone Anchorage, the amortized cost of environmental monitoring equipment and the annual cost of maintenance, operation and laboratory analysis accrued to the Department shall be shared equally by the owners of the bulk transfer operations. Whenever the owner or operator of the transfer facility accepts responsibility for monitoring and analysis activities as required by the department, the owner or operator shall be responsible for determining the shared costs.

The provisions of 2.4 of this regulation shall be applicable only to the transfer of bulk solid materials. Bulk solid material is defined as any solid material which is unpackaged.

2.5 All instrumentation, analytical techniques, calculations, records, and sampling locations and methods required by this regulation shall have the prior approval of the Department.

2.6 Reports required by this regulation shall be submitted in a form approved by the Department and shall be signed by a corporate officer or his designee whose signature shall constitute his own and employer's certification that the data are accurate and complete.

2.7 The reference methods used to determine compliance with the standards prescribed in 7 DE Admin. Code 1104; 1105; 1107; 3.0 of 7 DE Admin. Code 1108; 7 DE Admin. Code 1109 and 1114 shall be those set forth in 1.5 of 7 DE Admin. Code 1120 or such other method approved by the Department.
