Section 7:27-19.17 - Source emissions testing

(a) Upon request by the Department or EPA, the owner or operator of any equipment or source operation subject to this subchapter shall:

1. Conduct tests to determine the emissions from such equipment or source operation to determine the nature and quantity of VOC, NO[x], or CO being emitted into the outdoor atmosphere;

2. Provide information concerning the location, rate, duration, concentration, and properties of the emissions of NO[x], CO or VOC from such equipment or source operations, and such other information as may be reasonably necessary to assess air emissions;

3. Provide information concerning the rate at which the equipment or source operation is combusting fuel during tests conducted under (a)1 above, and the maximum gross heat input value of the equipment or source operation; and

4. Provide the log prepared under (e) below, or any part thereof requested by EPA or the Department.

(b) Upon the Department's request, the owner or operator of any equipment or source operation subject to this subchapter shall provide the Department with temporary or permanent sampling facilities satisfying the requirements of 7:27B-1.4. The owner or operator shall construct such facilities in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, including those which regulate construction practices.

(c) During any testing conducted pursuant to this section, the equipment or source operation, and all components connected, attached to, or serving the equipment, shall be used and operated under normal routine operating conditions, under maximum capacity operating conditions, or under such other conditions within the capacity of the equipment as the Department or EPA requests.

(d) A person conducting testing pursuant to this section shall use the test method which the Department specifies, based upon the circumstances specific to the facility or to the equipment or source operation being tested. The Department shall specify one of the following methods:

1. The methods set forth at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, method 7E; or

2. Any other method which EPA and the Department have approved in advance in writing. If EPA approves a method, and the Department determines that the method yields results at least as consistent as the appropriate method listed under (d)1 above, and which has no greater tendency to understate emissions, the Department shall approve the method.

(e) The owner or operator of the tested equipment or source operation shall record any test data collected under this section, and maintain it for at least five years after the date on which the testing was conducted.
