Rule 1004. (1) The federal test methods described in the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, adopted by reference in R 336.1902, are test methods for performance tests required pursuant to the provisions of this part and include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Method 1 - Sample and velocity traverse for stationary sources. (b) Method 1A - Sample and velocity traverses for stationary sources with small stacks or ducts. (c) Method 2 - Determination of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate (type-S pitot tube). (d) Method 2A - Direct measurement of gas volume through pipes and small ducts. (e) Method 2C - Determination of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate in small stacks and ducts (standard pitot tube). (f) Method 2D - Measurement of gas volumetric flow rates in small pipes and ducts. (g) Method 3 - Gas analysis for the determination of dry molecular weight. (h) Method 4 - Determination of moisture content in stack gases. (i) Method 5 - Determination of particulate matter emissions from stationary sources. (j) Method 6 - Determination of sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources. (k) Method 7 - Determination of nitrogen oxide emissions from stationary sources. (l) Method 8 - Determination of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources. (m) Method 9 - Visual determination of the opacity of emissions from stationary sources. (n) Method 10 - Determination of carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources. (o) Method 10B - Determination of carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources. (p) Method 18 - Measurement of gaseous organic compound emissions by gas chromatography. (q) Method 21 - Determination of volatile organic compound leaks. (r) Method 24 - Determination of volatile matter content, water content, density, volume solids, and weight solids of surface coatings. (s) Method 24A - Determination of volatile matter content and density of printing inks and related coatings. (t) Method 25 - Determination of total gaseous nonmethane organic emissions as carbon. (u) Method 25A - Determination of total gaseous organic concentration using a flame ionization analyzer. (v) Method 27 - Determination of vapor tightness of gasoline delivery tank using pressure-vacuum test. (w) Method 29 - Determination of metals emissions from stationary sources. (x) Method 30A - Determination of total vapor phase mercury emissions from stationary sources (instrumental analyzer procedure). (y) Method 30B - Determination of total vapor phase mercury emissions from coal-fired combustion sources using carbon sorbent traps. (2) The federal test methods in the following provisions, adopted by reference in R 336.1902, are test methods for performance tests required pursuant to the provisions of this part: (a) 40 CFR part 51, appendix M. (b) 40 CFR part 61, appendix B. (c) 40 CFR part 63, appendix A. (3) All alternatives that are subject to the approval of the administrator in the adopted federal reference methods are subject to the approval of the department. (4) Determinations of compliance with visible emission standards for stationary sources must be conducted as specified in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, test method 9 or another alternative method approved by the department, with the following exceptions: (a) Visible emissions from a scarfing operation at a steel manufacturing facility must be determined as specified in reference test method 9A, which is described in R 336.2030. (b) Visible emissions from a coke oven pushing operation and fugitive coke oven visible emissions must be determined as specified in reference test method 9B, which is described in R 336.2031. (c) Visible emissions, fugitive and nonfugitive, from basic oxygen furnace operations, hot metal transfer operations, and hot metal desulfurization operations must be determined as specified in reference method 9C, which is described in R 336.2032. (5) Determinations of particulate emission rates for stationary sources must be conducted as specified in 1 or more of the following reference test methods: (a) Reference test method 5B, which is described in R 336.2011. (b) Reference test method 5C, which is described in R 336.2012. (c) Reference test method 5D, which is described in R 336.2013. (d) Reference test method 5E, which is described in R 336.2014. (e) "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," (23rd edition), as described and modified in R 336.2033. (6) Determinations of total gaseous nonmethane organic emissions as carbon, using the alternate version of federal test method 25 under 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, incorporating the Byron analysis, must be conducted as specified in R 336.2006. Editor's Note: An obvious error in R 336.2004 was corrected at the request of the promulgating agency, pursuant to Section 56 of 1969 PA 306, as amended by 2000 PA 262, MCL 24.256. The rule containing the error was published in Annual Administrative Code Supplement 2025. The memorandum requesting the correction was published in Michigan Register, 2026 MR 16.
