§45-1-6. Recordkeeping and Reporting.
6.1. The owner or operator shall maintain records during periods of startup, shutdown, and maintenance. Acceptable records may include, but are not limited to, operator logs (may be electronic), Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) data, or other relevant evidence such as operator notes that document the date, time, duration, and estimated emissions during the event. The records shall demonstrate that the alternative emission limitation requirements were met and document the steps taken to minimize emissions to the extent practicable during the event, including, but not limited to, any monitored parameter established in the permit.
6.2. The owner or operator of any source subject to this rule shall maintain records of alternative emission limitation events for a period of at least five (5) years following the date of each occurrence. At a minimum, the most recent two (2) years of data shall be maintained on-site. The remaining three (3) years of data may be maintained off-site, but shall be made available to the Secretary upon request. The Secretary may request reports of such data in a reasonable manner and detail as the Secretary may specify. If requested, such reports shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the end of the established reporting period. Where appropriate, the owner or operator may maintain records electronically.
6.3. Any permit application form, report, or compliance certification submitted to the Secretary shall contain a certification by the responsible official which states that, based on information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the statements and information in the document are true, accurate, and complete.
6.4. The Secretary may require the submission of reports as a condition of an applicable permit.
