Or. Admin. R. 340-212-0240 - Approval of Monitoring Plans
(1)
Based on an application that includes the information submitted in accordance
with OAR
340-212-0230,
DEQ will approve the monitoring plans submitted by the owner or operator by
confirming that the plans satisfy the requirements in OAR
340-212-0210.
(2) DEQ may condition its approval
on the owner or operator collecting additional data on the indicators to be
monitored for a regulated pollutant-specific emissions unit, including required
compliance or performance testing, to confirm that the monitoring will provide
data sufficient to satisfy the requirements of OAR
340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280 and to confirm the appropriateness of an indicator range or designated
condition proposed to satisfy OAR
340-212-0210(1)(b) and
(c) and consistent with the schedule in OAR
340-212-0220(4).
(3) If DEQ approves the proposed
monitoring, DEQ will establish one or more permit terms or conditions that
specify the required monitoring in accordance with OAR
340-218-0050(3)(a).
At a minimum, the permit will specify:
(a)
The approved monitoring approach that includes all of the following:
(A) The indicator to be monitored (such as
temperature, pressure drop, emissions, or similar parameter);
(B) The means or device to be used to measure
the indicator (such as temperature measurement device, visual observation, or
CEMS); and
(C) The performance
requirements established to satisfy OAR
340-212-0210(2) or
(4), as applicable.
(b) The means by which the owner or operator
will define an exceedance or excursion for purposes of responding to and
reporting exceedances or excursions under OAR
340-212-0250 and
340-212-0260.
The permit will specify the level at which an excursion or exceedance will be
deemed to occur, including the appropriate averaging period associated with
such exceedance or excursion. For defining an excursion from an indicator range
or designated condition, the permit may either include the specific value or
condition at which an excursion occurs, or the specific procedures that will be
used to establish that value or condition. If the latter, the permit will
specify appropriate notice procedures for the owner or operator to notify DEQ
upon any establishment or reestablishment of the value;
(c) The obligation to conduct the monitoring
and fulfill the other obligations specified in OAR
340-212-0250 through
340-212-0270;
(d) If appropriate, a minimum data
availability requirement for valid data collection for each averaging period,
and, if appropriate, a minimum data availability requirement for the averaging
periods in a reporting period.
(4) If the monitoring proposed by the owner
or operator requires installation, testing or final verification of operational
status, the Oregon Title V Operating Permit will include an enforceable
schedule with appropriate milestones for completing such installation, testing,
or final verification consistent with the requirements in OAR
340-212-0220(5).
(5) If DEQ disapproves the
proposed monitoring, the following applies:
(a) The draft or final permit will include,
at a minimum, monitoring that satisfies the requirements of OAR
340-218-0050(3)(a)(C);
(b) The draft or final permit will
include a compliance schedule for the owner or operator to submit monitoring
plans that satisfy OAR
340-212-0210 and OAR
340-212-0220.
In no case may the owner or operator submit revised monitoring more than 180
days from the date of issuance of the draft or final permit; and
(c) If the owner or operator does not submit
the monitoring plans in accordance with the compliance schedule contained in
the draft or final permit or if DEQ disapproves the proposed monitoring plans,
the owner or operator is not in compliance with OAR
340-212-0200 through
340-212-0280,
unless the source owner or operator successfully challenges the
disapproval.
