(c)
The owner or operator shall perform a stratification check at each
measurement location where a determination of a gas concentration is required
following the method specified in 40

compliance stack test or RATA that includes a measurement of stack volumetric
flow rate, the owner or operator shall perform a verification of the absence of
cyclonic flow following the method and acceptance criteria specified in 40
(e) In order to optimize the performance of a CEM
system prior to conducting a RATA, the owner or operator may perform
preliminary trial runs, which include routine and non-routine calibration
adjustments, as described in section 2.1.3 of Appendix B of 40 CFR 75, at the
zero or upscale calibration gas levels,
provided that:
(1) If any other corrective
maintenance, repair, re-linearization, or reprogramming of the CEM system is conducted the CEM system shall be considered out-of-control as
defined in Env-A 808.01(j); and
(2) All emission data from the CEM
system shall be considered invalid from the hour the corrective maintenance,
repair, re-linearization, or reprogramming is conducted until a successful RATA
is completed.
(f) If during a trial run prior to conducting a
RATA the relative accuracy criteria specified in 40 CFR 60 or 40 CFR 75, as
applicable, are not met, then:
(1) The trial run shall be counted as an aborted RATA attempt;
(2) The CEM system shall be considered out-of-control as defined in Env-A
808.01(j); and
(3) All emission data from the
CEM system from the hour in which the RATA relative accuracy criteria is not
met until a successful RATA is completed shall be invalid.

Env-A 810.01 Monitoring Plans for Air Pollution Control
Equipment.
(a) Except as specified in (f) below,
the owner or operator of a source that is required to install and operate air
pollution control equipment in order to comply with an emission limit specified
in a permit, rule, or order shall file a written monitoring plan with the
department which documents the maintenance procedures, control equipment
parameter monitoring, and any sampling or testing specified by the manufacturer
of the device, in order to demonstrate continued effectiveness of the control
equipment to comply with the applicable emission standard.
(b)
The owner or operator shall submit the air pollution control equipment
monitoring plan as part of the application for a temporary permit, state permit
to operate, or title V operating permit as specified in Env-A 607.03, Env-A
608.03, or Env-A 609.06, respectively.
(c)
The air pollution control equipment monitoring plan shall include the
following information for each piece of air pollution control equipment:
(1) The type of control device;
(2)
The manufacturer of the control device;
(3) The model and serial number of the control device, if known;
(4) The pollutant(s) controlled by the device;
(5) A description of the control device and how it operates in the process;
(6)
The capture efficiency of the device and its method of determination;
(7) The control efficiency of the device and its method of determination;
(8) The operational parameters of
the device that are or will be monitored, such as temperature, pressure, differential pressure, pH, and flowrate, the normal range for each parameter
monitored, and the range of each parameter during startup or shutdown
conditions, if different;
(9) A description of any data recording or recordkeeping, parameter setpoints and alarms,
and corresponding operator responses to malfunctions of the device to prevent
uncontrolled emissions of air pollution;
(10) The manufacturer's recommended procedures for operation of the device;
(11) The manufacturer's recommended scheduled for service, maintenance, and
calibration of the device; and
(12) Any other operational parameters that affect the ability of the device to control air
pollution.
(d)
If the air pollution control device uses a catalyst as part of its
operation to reduce the volume or concentration of pollutant passing through
it, the owner or operator shall submit a catalyst management plan for the
catalytic device which includes the following:
(1) The information listed in (c)(1) - (12), above;
(2) A description of the method for catalyst sampling and determination of catalyst
activity; and
(3) The frequency of catalyst replacement.
(e)
If the owner or operator determines that the information and procedures
documented in the air pollution control equipment monitoring plan or catalyst
management plan need to be changed at any time to accurately represent the
activities performed to maintain the control equipment, the owner or operator
shall submit a revised monitoring or management plan, as applicable, to the
department in writing.
(f)
If an air pollution control equipment monitoring plan, as required by
(a) above, has been submitted previously with an application for a permit and
there has been no change to the control equipment, the operation of that
equipment, or any associated monitoring since the initial submission, the owner
or operator may state in writing that there has been no such change in lieu of
the requirement to submit a plan with a subsequent permit application.

(2) Is not otherwise described by the information submitted pursuant to Env-A 810.01.
(b)
The description of the monitoring shall include the following:
(1) The device or process parameter(s) monitored;
(2) The frequency of monitoring;
(3) The normal range for each parameter monitored, and

recording or recordkeeping, parameter setpoints and alarms, and corresponding operator responses to malfunctions of the monitoring device or source of
emissions;
(5) The manufacturer's recommended procedures for operation;
(6) The manufacturer's recommended schedule for service and maintenance of
the monitoring device; and
(7) Any additional information needed to completely describe the nature, timing, and
purpose of the monitoring.

If a description of additional monitoring, as required by (a) above, has
been submitted previously with an application for a permit and there has been
no change to the additional monitoring since the initial submission, the owner
or operator may state in writing that there has been no such change in lieu of
the requirement to submit a description of additional monitoring with a
subsequent permit application.
