with a minimum of 30 minutes for
each run or longer if required by the reference method. All engine-
and turbine-based CHP units designed to generate more than 375 kW
must be retested by the above method after every 16,000 hours of operation,
regardless of certification.
(3) All CHP units which are required by subsection
(d)(3) or (4) of this section to have an oxidation catalyst control
device shall be tested to verify compliance with the required 70%
VOC control efficiency within 90 days of startup. In lieu of the above
test, the 70% VOC control requirement shall be satisfied if the unit
is tested for gaseous organic compounds and the reduction is at least
90%. The testing shall be conducted using EPA reference methods or
equivalent alternative testing methods approved by the executive director
and in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the TCEQ Sampling
Procedures Manual. All units required to be equipped with an oxidation
catalyst control device must also be retested after every 16,000 hours
of operation.
(4) Except for rich-burn engines equipped with oxidation-reduction
(three-way) catalysts, and units required to be equipped with an oxidation
catalyst under subsection (d)(3) or (4) of this section, the uncontrolled
source must demonstrate compliance with the emission standards in
subsection (d) of this section.
(f) Recordkeeping. In addition to the minimum records
required by §106.8 of this title (relating to Recordkeeping),
the owner or operator must keep the following records:
(1) For the life of the CHP unit, the registration
application and any additional representations made during the approval
process to obtain the registration; and
(2) The owner or operator must keep the following records
for at least two years and make them available to the TCEQ or any
local pollution control program with jurisdiction upon request:
(A) A record of every one-week period of operation
where the CHP unit did not comply with subsection (c)(2) of this section;
(B) All monitoring and testing data generated in compliance
with subsection (e) of this section and in a format that shows the
emission standards have been met;
(C) Records of CHP unit operation sufficient to demonstrate
compliance with any applicable hour-based requirements of subsection
(e) of this section;
(D) Records of maintenance described in subsection
(g)(2) of this section; and
(E) Records of the number of hours that any emergency
fuel is used under subsection (c)(8) of this section, and the reason
why operating on an emergency fuel is necessary.
(g) Planned Maintenance, Startup, and Shutdown.
(1) This PBR authorizes all emissions from planned
startup and shutdown activities associated with facilities that are
authorized by this section.
(2) This PBR authorizes emissions from the following
planned maintenance activities associated with facilities authorized
by this section: routine maintenance including, but not limited to,
filter changes, oxygen sensor replacements, overhauls, lubricant changes,
spark plug changes, and emission control system maintenance.
