- (a)Follow table 8 of this subpart to establish the sampling location and to determine pollutant concentrations, number of traverse points, individual test methods, and other specific testing requirements for the different pollutants.
- (b)Make sure that stack tests for all these pollutants consist of at least three test runs, as specified in § 60.8 (Performance Tests) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60. Use the average of the pollutant emission concentrations from the three test runs to determine compliance with the applicable emission limits in tables 2 and 4 of this subpart.
- (c)Obtain an oxygen (or carbon dioxide) measurement at the same time as your pollutant measurements to determine diluent gas levels, as specified in § 62.15175.
- (d)Use the equations in § 62.15390(a) to calculate emission levels at 7 percent oxygen (or an equivalent carbon dioxide basis), the percent reduction in potential hydrogen chloride emissions, and the reduction efficiency for mercury emissions. See the individual test methods in table 6 of this subpart for other required equations.
- (e)You can apply to the Administrator for approval under § 60.8(b) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60 to
- (1)Use a reference method with minor changes in methodology;
- (2)Use an equivalent method;
- (3)Use an alternative method the results of which the Administrator has determined are adequate for demonstrating compliance;
- (4)Waive the requirement for a performance test because you have demonstrated by other means that you are in compliance; or
- (5)Use a shorter sampling time or smaller sampling volume.
