RULE §113.2075Compliance and Performance Testing Requirements

  (3) Following the date on which the initial performance test is completed or is required to be completed under §113.2079 of this title, whichever date comes first, the owner or operator shall ensure that the designated facility does not operate above the maximum charge rate or below the minimum secondary chamber temperature measured as three-hour rolling averages (calculated each hour as the average of the previous three operating hours) at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. Operating parameter limits do not apply during performance tests. Operation above the maximum charge rate or below the minimum secondary chamber temperature shall constitute a violation of the established operating parameters.

  (4) Except as provided in paragraph (5) of this subsection, operation of the designated facility above the maximum charge rate and below the minimum secondary chamber temperature on a three-hour rolling average simultaneously shall constitute a violation of the PM, CO, and dioxin/furan emission limits.

  (5) The owner or operator may conduct a repeat performance test within 30 days of violation of applicable operating parameters to demonstrate that the designated facility is not in violation of the applicable emission limits. Repeat performance tests conducted under this subsection must be conducted using the identical operating parameters that indicated a violation under paragraph (4) of this subsection.

(c) Equivalent test methods may be approved by the executive director or his designated representative.
