RULE §115.446Monitoring and Recordkeeping Requirements

    (A) Operational parameters of any emission control device installed to comply with the requirements in §115.442(b)(5) of this title must be continuously measured and recorded. Monitors must be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature monitors must be equipped with a continuous recorder and have an accuracy of ±0.5 degrees Fahrenheit or ±1.0% of the temperature being monitored, whichever is less stringent. Measuring and recording the operational parameters of the control device at least once every 15 minutes is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with this subparagraph. Records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of the device to design specifications and must include:

      (i) the exhaust gas temperature of direct-flame incinerators and/or the gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;

      (ii) the total amount of VOC recovered by a carbon adsorption system or other solvent recovery system per calendar month; and

      (iii) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system to determine if breakthrough has occurred.

    (B) An air flow direction measuring device must be used to demonstrate the dryer meets the 100% capture efficiency required in §115.442(b)(5) of this title.

  (6) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic printing press shall maintain the results of any tests conducted using the approved test methods in §115.445 of this title.

  (7) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic printing press shall maintain all records for at least two years and make such records available upon request to authorized representatives of the executive director, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or any local air pollution agency with jurisdiction.
