Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-18-.04 - COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION, RECORDKEEPING, AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-COATING AND NON-PRINTING SOURCES

(1) The owner or operator of any facility containing sources subject to this rule shall submit to the Technical Secretary an initial compliance certification by April 22, 1994, or , for any facility in Shelby County, within 180 calendar days after the facility becomes subject to this rule, whichever is later. However, if another compliance date is specified for the source, initial compliance certification shall be submitted to the Technical Secretary within 30 days after that date, unless otherwise specified. The owner or operator of any facility containing new sources that become subject to this rule after April 22, 1994, shall submit an initial compliance certification within 180 days after the start-up of each source unless another time for such certification is specified on the construction permit for the source. Certification shall include the following:

(a) For initial compliance certification, as a minimum:

1. Name and location of the facility.

2. Address and telephone number of the person responsible for the facility.

3. Identification of subject sources.

(b) For each subject source, as a minimum:

1. The applicable emission limitation, equipment specification, or work practice;

2. The method of compliance;

3. For each source subject to numerical emission limitations, the estimated emissions without control;

4. The control system(s) in use;

5. The design performance efficiency of the control system;

6. For each source subject to numerical emission limitations, the estimated emissions after control;

7. Certification that each subject source at the facility is in compliance with the applicable emission limitation, equipment specification, or work practice; and

8. The time at which the facility's "day" begins if a time other than midnight local time is used to define a "day".

(2) The owner or operator of any facility containing sources subject to this rule shall, for each occurrence of excess emissions, within 30 calendar days of becoming aware of such occurrence, supply the Technical Secretary with the following information:

(a) The name and location of the facility;

(b) The subject sources that caused the excess emissions;

(c) The time and date of first observation of the excess emissions;

(d) The cause and expected duration of the excess emissions;

(e) For sources subject to numerical emission limitations, the estimated rate of emissions (expressed in the units of the applicable emission limitation) and the operating data and calculations used in determining the magnitude of the excess emissions; and

(f) The proposed corrective actions and schedule to correct the conditions causing the excess emissions.

(3) The following requirements for sources using control devices apply:

(a) By April 22, 1994, or upon startup of a new source, or upon changing the method of compliance for an existing source, or, for any source in Shelby County, within 180 calendar days after the source becomes subject to this rule, whichever is later, the owner or operator of the subject source shall have performed or shall perform, as applicable, all tests. No later than 60 days after the completion of testing, the owner or operator of the subject source shall have submitted to the Technical Secretary the results of all tests and calculations necessary to demonstrate that the subject source is in compliance with the applicable rule of this chapter.

(b) Recordkeeping shall be as follows:

1. Each owner or operator of a source subject to this rule shall maintain up-to-date, continuous records of any equipment operating parameters specified to be monitored in the applicable rule of this chapter as well as up-to-date records of periods of operation during which the parameter boundaries established during the most recent performance test are exceeded. Exceedances as specified below shall constitute noncompliance. These records shall be maintained for at least 3 years, unless otherwise specified or provided for in this chapter. The Technical Secretary may at any time require a report of these data. Periods of operation during which the parameter boundaries established during the most recent performance test are exceeded are defined as follows:

(i) For thermal incinerators, all 3-hour periods of operation in which the average combustion temperature was more than 28°C (50°F) below the average combustion temperature during the most recent performance test that demonstrated that the facility was in compliance.

(ii) For catalytic incinerators:

(I) Continuous records of the temperature of the gas stream both upstream and downstream of the incinerator;

(II) Records of all 3-hour periods of operation for which the average temperature measured before the catalyst bed is more than 28°C (50°F) below the gas stream temperature measured before the catalyst bed during the most recent determination of destruction efficiency of the catalytic incinerator that demonstrated that the facility was in compliance; and

(III) Records of all 3-hour periods for which the average temperature difference across the catalyst bed is less than 80 percent of the temperature difference measured during the most recent determination of the destruction efficienct of the catalytic incinerator that demonstrated that the facility was in compliance.

(iii) For carbon adsorbers, all 3-hour periods of operation during which the average VOC concentration or reading of organics in the exhaust gases is more than 20 percent greater than the average exhaust gas concentration or reading measured by the organics monitoring device during the most recent determination of the removal efficiency of the carbon adsorber that demonstrated that the facility was in compliance. This specification applies only to carbon adsorbers for which stack emission testing is required to demonstrate compliance with a standard of this chapter.

2. A log of operating time for the capture system, control device, monitoring equipment, and the associated source; and

3. A maintenance log for the capture system, control device, and monitoring equipment detailing all routine and non-routine maintenance performed including dates and duration of any outages.

(4) Provisions of this rule apply only to sources identified as subject to those specific provisions of this rule by other rules of this chapter.
