Md. Code Regs. 26.11.31.02 - Applicability
A. The procedures
specified by this chapter shall be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a
facility's quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) procedures for COMs.
The procedures specify the minimum quality assurance requirements for the
assessment and control of COM data.
B. Source owners and operators using COMs
shall meet these minimum requirements and are encouraged to develop and
implement a more extensive QA and QC program or to continue the programs where
they already exist.
C. Data
collected as a result of QA and QC measures required in this chapter shall be
submitted to the Department. These data shall be used by both the Department
and the owner or operator in assessing the effectiveness of the procedures in
maintaining acceptable operation and valid emission data.
D. All sources using COMs shall develop and
implement the required QC plan upon successful completion of the initial
performance specification test and shall conduct the required QA procedures
beginning with the first calendar quarter following the successful performance
specification test.
E. These
procedures explicitly specify the quality assessment methods to be used for
calibration drift and quality audits but do not address the evaluation of
monitor installation location or the design specification verification
procedures which are addressed in Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 60.
