| (a) The owner or operator of any unit subject to §117.205
of this title (relating to Emission Specifications for Reasonably
Available Control Technology (RACT)) shall test the unit for nitrogen
oxides (NOX ) and oxygen (O2 ) emissions while firing gaseous fuel or,
as applicable, liquid and solid fuel.
(b) Initial demonstration of compliance testing must
be performed in accordance with the schedule specified in §117.9010
of this title (relating to Compliance Schedule for Bexar County Ozone
Nonattainment Area Major Sources).
(c) The initial demonstration of compliance tests required
by subsection (a) of this section must use the methods referenced
in subsection (e) or (f) of this section and must be used for determination
of initial compliance with the emission specifications of this division.
Test results must be reported in the units of the applicable emission
specifications and averaging periods.
(d) Any continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS)
or any predictive emissions monitoring system (PEMS) required by §117.240
of this title (relating to Continuous Demonstration of Compliance)
must be installed and operational before conducting testing under
subsection (a) of this section. Verification of operational status
must, at a minimum, include completion of the initial monitor certification
and the manufacturer's written requirements or recommendations for
installation, operation, and calibration of the device or system.
(e) For units operating without CEMS or PEMS, compliance
with the emission specifications of this division must be demonstrated
according to the requirements of §117.8000 of this title (relating
to Stack Testing Requirements).
(f) For units operating with CEMS or PEMS in accordance
with §117.240 of this title, initial compliance with the emission
specifications of this division must be demonstrated after monitor
certification testing using the CEMS or PEMS. For units complying
with a NOX emission specification on
a block one-hour average, every one-hour period while operating at
the maximum rated capacity (or as near thereto as practicable) is
used to determine compliance with the NOX emission
specification.
(g) Compliance stack test reports must include the
information required in §117.8010 of this title (relating to
Compliance Stack Test Reports).
