Or. Admin. R. 340-214-0340 - Reporting Requirements
(1) For
any excess emissions event at a source with an Oregon Title V Operating Permit
and for any other source as required by permit, the owner or operator must
submit a written report of excess emissions for each calendar day of the event.
The report must be submitted within 15 days of the date of the event and
include the following:
(a) The date and time
of the beginning of the excess emissions event and the duration or best
estimate of the time until return to normal operation;
(b) The date and time the owner or operator
notified DEQ of the event;
(c) The
equipment involved;
(d) Whether
the event occurred during planned startup, planned shutdown, scheduled
maintenance, or as a result of a breakdown, malfunction, or emergency;
(e) Steps taken to mitigate
emissions and corrective actions taken, including whether the approved
procedures for a planned startup, shutdown, or maintenance activity were
followed;
(f) The magnitude and
duration of each occurrence of excess emissions during the course of an event
and the increase over normal rates or concentrations as determined by
continuous monitoring or a best estimate, supported by operating data and
calculations;
(g) The final
resolution of the cause of the excess emissions; and
(h) Where applicable, evidence supporting any
claim that emissions in excess of technology-based limits were due to an
emergency pursuant to OAR
340-214-0360.
(2) Based on the
severity of event, DEQ may specify a shorter time period for report submittal.
(3) All source owners or operators
must keep an excess emissions log of all planned and unplanned excess
emissions. The log must include all pertinent information as required in
section (1) and be kept by the owner or operator for five calendar years.
(4) At each annual reporting
period specified in a permit, or sooner if DEQ requires, the owner or operator
must submit:
(a) A copy of the excess
emissions log entries for the reporting period; unless previously submitted in
accordance with section (1); and
(b) Where applicable, current procedures to
minimize emissions during startup, shutdown, or maintenance as outlined in OAR
340-214-0310 and
340-214-0320.
The owner or operator must specify in writing whether these procedures are new,
modified, or have already been approved by DEQ.
NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
