Section 20.11.69.21 - EMISSION TESTINGA. Within sixty days of first achieving the maximum charging rate, but not more than one hundred eighty days from the date of initial startup, the first annual performance test shall be conducted.B. The owner or operator of any PWD that has a charging capacity of less than 200 pounds per hour shall conduct an annual performance test to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards for particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen chloride (HCI). (1) The initial performance test for units subject to Subsection B of 20.11.69.20 NMAC shall include PCDD/PCDF and the following metals: (a) arsenic and compounds (expressed as arsenic)(b) beryllium and compounds (expressed as beryllium)(c) cadmium and compounds (expressed as cadmium)(d) chromium and compounds (expressed as chromium)(e) lead and compounds (expressed as lead)(f) mercury and compounds (expressed as mercury)(2) The required performance test for PCDD/PCDF and metals shall be conducted once, provided that PCDD/PCDF and metals emission test results indicate compliance with the standard set forth in Subsection A of 20.11.69.13 NMAC.C. The owner or operator of any PWD with a charging capacity of 200 pounds per hour or greater shall conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance with the standards for particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen chloride (HCI), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), total tetra-through octa-chlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins and dibenzo furans (PCDD/PCDF); (1) and the following metals: (a) arsenic and compounds (expressed as arsenic)(b) beryllium and compounds (expressed as beryllium)(c) cadmium and compounds (expressed as cadmium)(d) chromium and compounds (expressed as chromium)(e) lead and compounds (expressed as lead)(f) mercury and compounds (expressed as mercury)(2) Source tests shall be conducted annually for the above specified pollutants.(3) The owner or operator may apply to the department for a waiver of annual testing for a specific pollutant where performance testing has consistently shown emission rates for that pollutant which are less than those required in 20.11.69 NMAC, but in no case shall any required test be conducted less than once in every three years.D. All performance testing shall be conducted at the design charging capacity using waste that is representative of normal operation while being operated by the facility operator.E. The department may require additional testing if there is a reasonable basis to believe the facility is not in compliance with any provision of 20.11.69 NMAC or any applicable permit condition.F. The department or its representative may conduct unscheduled emission tests at any time during operating hours of the facility.N.M. Admin. Code § 20.11.69.21
