Or. Admin. R. 340-212-0220 - Compliance Assurance Monitoring: Submittal Requirements
(1) The owner or operator must submit to DEQ
monitoring plans that satisfy the design requirements in OAR 340-212-0210. The
submission must include the following information:
(a) The indicators to be monitored to satisfy
OAR 340-212-0210(1)(a) and (b);
(b)
The ranges or designated conditions for such indicators, or the process by
which such indicator ranges or designated conditions will be
established;
(c) The performance
criteria for the monitoring to satisfy OAR 340-212-0210(2); and
(d) If applicable, the indicator ranges and
performance criteria for a CEMS, COMS or PEMS pursuant to OAR
340-212-0210(4).
(2) As
part of the information submitted, the owner or operator must submit a
justification for the proposed elements of the monitoring plans. If the
performance specifications proposed to satisfy OAR 340-212-0210(2)(b) or (c)
include differences from manufacturer recommendations, the owner or operator
must explain the reasons for the differences. The owner or operator also must
submit any data supporting the justification and may refer to generally
available sources of information used to support the justification, such as
generally available air pollution engineering manuals, or EPA or DEQ
publications on appropriate monitoring for various types of control devices or
capture systems. To justify the appropriateness of the monitoring elements
proposed, the owner or operator may rely in part on existing applicable
requirements that establish the monitoring for the applicable regulated
pollutant-specific emissions unit or a similar unit. If an owner or operator
relies on presumptively acceptable monitoring, no further justification for the
appropriateness of that monitoring should be necessary other than an
explanation of the applicability of such monitoring to the unit in question,
unless data or information is brought forward to rebut the assumption.
Presumptively acceptable monitoring includes:
(a) Presumptively acceptable or required
monitoring approaches, established by DEQ in a rule that constitutes part of
the applicable implementation plan required pursuant to title I of the FCAA,
that are designed to achieve compliance with OAR 340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280 for particular regulated pollutant-specific emissions
units;
(b) Continuous emission,
opacity, or predictive emission monitoring systems that satisfy applicable
monitoring requirements and performance specifications contained in OAR
340-212-0210(d);
(c) Excepted or
alternative monitoring methods allowed or approved pursuant to 40 CFR part
75;
(d) Monitoring included for
standards exempt from OAR 340-212-0200 through 340-212-0280 pursuant to OAR
340-212-0200(2)(a)(A) through (F) to the extent such monitoring is applicable
to the performance of the control device and associated capture system for the
regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit; and
(e) Presumptively acceptable monitoring
methods identified in guidance by EPA.
(3)
(a)
Except as provided in section (4), the owner or operator must submit control
device and process and capture system, if applicable, operating parameter data
obtained during the conduct of the applicable compliance or performance test
conducted under conditions specified by the applicable rule. If the applicable
rule does not specify testing conditions or only partially specifies test
conditions, the performance test generally must be conducted under conditions
representative of maximum emissions potential under anticipated operating
conditions at the regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit. Such data may be
supplemented by engineering assessments and manufacturer's recommendations to
justify the indicator ranges or, if applicable, the procedures for establishing
such indicator ranges. Emission testing is not required to be conducted over
the entire indicator range or range of potential emissions;
(b) The owner or operator must document that
no changes to the regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit, including the
control device and capture system, have taken place that could result in a
significant change in the control system performance or the selected ranges or
designated conditions for the indicators to be monitored since the performance
or compliance tests were conducted.
(4) If existing data from unit-specific
compliance or performance testing specified in section (3) are unavailable, the
owner or operator:
(a) Must submit a test
plan and schedule for obtaining such data in accordance with section (5);
or
(b) May submit indicator ranges,
or procedures for establishing indicator ranges, that rely on engineering
assessments and other data, if the owner or operator demonstrates that factors
specific to the type of monitoring, control device, or regulated
pollutant-specific emissions unit make compliance or performance testing
unnecessary to establish indicator ranges at levels that satisfy the criteria
in OAR 340-212-0210(1).
(5) If the monitoring plans submitted by the
owner or operator require installation, testing, or other necessary activities
before conducting the monitoring for purposes of OAR 340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280, the owner or operator must include an implementation plan and
schedule for installing, testing and performing any other appropriate
activities before conducting the monitoring. The implementation plan and
schedule must provide for conducting the monitoring as expeditiously as
practicable after DEQ approves the monitoring plans in the Oregon Title V
Operating Permit pursuant to OAR 340-212-0240. In no case may the schedule for
completing installation and beginning operation of the monitoring exceed 180
days after approval of the permit.
(6) If a control device is common to more
than one regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit, the owner or operator may
submit monitoring plans for the control device and identify the regulated
pollutant-specific emissions units affected and any process or associated
capture device conditions that must be maintained or monitored in accordance
with OAR 340-212-0210(1) rather than submit separate monitoring plans for each
regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit.
(7) If a single regulated pollutant-specific
emissions unit is controlled by more than one control device that is similar in
design and operation, the owner or operator may submit monitoring plans that
apply to all the control devices and identify the control devices affected and
any process or associated capture device conditions that must be maintained or
monitored in accordance with OAR 340-212-0210(1) rather than submit a separate
description for each control device.
