Recordkeeping and Reporting

Section 214.605  Recordkeeping and Reporting a)         By January 1, 2017, the owner or operator of a source must submit to the Agency the following: 1)         A certification that the source will be in compliance with the provisions in this Subpart by January 1, 2017; 2)         For a source with an emission unit demonstrating compliance through performance testing: A)        The results of the initial performance test conducted pursuant to Section 214.604(e)(1); B)        The calculations necessary to demonstrate that the emission unit will be in initial compliance; and C)        A description of the measures the source will take to ensure the emission unit continues to operate within the parameters enumerated in the testing results submitted to the Agency for each test used to demonstrate compliance, including how those parameters will ensure ongoing compliance with the applicable limitation in Section 214.603 and the specific monitoring procedures that will be implemented for each parameter; 3)         For a source with an emission unit demonstrating compliance through the use of a continuous emissions monitoring system, a certification of the installation and operation of the continuous emissions monitoring system and the monitoring data necessary to demonstrate that the emission unit will be in initial compliance; 4)         For a source with an emission unit demonstrating compliance through the use of an alternative monitoring method under 40 CFR 75, a description of the alternative monitoring method being used and the monitoring data necessary to demonstrate that the emission unit will be in initial compliance; and 5)         A description of the method or methods the source will use to comply with all applicable emission limitations in Section 214.603, including a description of all control devices used and, for sources with emission units demonstrating compliance through performance testing, the operating parameters for those devices. b)         The owner or operator of a source must keep and maintain records that demonstrate ongoing compliance with the requirements of this Subpart.  The records must include the following: 1)         The calendar date of the record; 2)         Reports for all performance tests conducted pursuant to Section 214.604(e), including the date of the test and the results; 3)         A log of the date, time, nature, and results of all parametric monitoring conducted pursuant to Section 214.604(e)(8); 4)         For each SO 2 continuous emissions monitoring system, a log indicating any periods when the device was not in service, maintenance and inspection activities performed on the device, and all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the monitoring requirements in Section 214.604; 5)         The date, time, and duration of any malfunction in the operation of an emission unit addressed in Section 214.603 or any SO 2 control equipment for that unit, if the malfunction causes an exceedance of any applicable emission limitation in Section 214.603, and the date, time, and duration of any malfunction in the operation of any SO 2 emissions monitoring equipment for that unit.  The records must include a description of the malfunction, the probable cause of the malfunction, the date and nature of the corrective action taken, and any preventative action taken to avoid future malfunctions; 6)         A log of all inspections, cleaning, maintenance, and repair activities performed on SO 2 control equipment for an emission unit addressed in Section 214.603, including the date and nature of those activities.  The log must indicate any changes made to the control equipment, including removal or replacement of the equipment; and 7)         For emission units subject to the emission limitation in Section 214.603(e), the SO 2 emission rate of the units for each averaging period and supporting calculations. c)         Except as otherwise indicated in this Subpart, the owner or operator of a source with an emission unit demonstrating compliance through performance testing must submit the results of all tests conducted pursuant to Section 214.604(e) within 60 days after completion of the test. d)         The owner or operator of a source must notify the Agency at least 30 days prior to changing the method of demonstrating compliance for an emission unit addressed in Section 214.603.  The owner or operator must also comply with the following, as applicable: 1)         For an emission unit changing the method of demonstrating compliance from performance testing to use of a continuous emissions monitoring system, submit to the Agency a certification of the installation and operation of the continuous emissions monitoring system and the monitoring data necessary to demonstrate compliance.  The  submittal must be made within 30 days after beginning operation of the continuous emissions monitoring system, and on or before the performance testing deadline determined in accordance with Section 214.604(e)(2); 2)         For an emission unit changing the method of demonstrating compliance from use of a continuous emissions monitoring system to performance testing, submit to the Agency the following.  The  submittal must be made prior to discontinuing operation of the continuous emissions monitoring system: A)        The results of the initial performance test conducted pursuant to Section 214.604(e)(1); B)        The calculations necessary to demonstrate compliance; and C)        A description of the measures the source will take to ensure the emission unit continues to operate within the parameters enumerated in the testing results submitted to the Agency for each test used to demonstrate compliance, including how the parameters will ensure ongoing compliance with the applicable limitation in Section 214.603 and the specific monitoring procedures that will be implemented for each parameter; 3)         For an emission unit changing the method of demonstrating compliance from use of a continuous emissions monitoring system to an alternative monitoring method under 40 CFR 75, submit to the Agency a description of the alternative monitoring method being used and the monitoring data necessary to demonstrate compliance.  The submittal must be made prior to discontinuing operation of the continuous emissions monitoring system. e)         The owner or operator of a source must notify the Agency within 30 days after discovery of deviations from any of the requirements in this Subpart or any exceedance of an applicable emission limitation in Section 214.603.  At minimum, and in addition to any permitting obligations, the notification must include a description of the deviations or exceedances, a discussion of the possible cause of the deviations or exceedances, any corrective actions taken, and any preventative measures taken. f)         The owner or operator of a source must maintain all records required by this Section at the source for a minimum of 5 years, and provide copies of the records to the Agency within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Agency.
