Section 210. Compliance determination and verification by emission monitoring

A. The permittee may install, calibrate, operate and maintain equipment for continuously monitoring and recording emissions or process parameters or both, and establish and maintain records, and make periodic emission reports as necessary to determine the actual emissions for the nonmetallic mineral processing facility.

B. Upon request of the department, the permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate equipment for continuously monitoring and recording emissions or process parameters or both as are necessary to determine the type or amount or both of the pollutants emitted from the facility or whether the facility will be in compliance with 9VAC5-510-190 or any other provisions of any regulation of the board.

C. The emission monitoring conducted under this section shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of 9VAC5 Chapters 40 (9VAC5-40), 50 (9VAC5-50) or 60 (9VAC5-60), as applicable, and 40 CFR 60.674 or by other means acceptable to the department.

D. Where the applicable requirement cited in subsection C of this section does not require periodic testing or instrumental or noninstrumental monitoring (which may consist of recordkeeping designed to serve as monitoring), periodic monitoring shall be conducted sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period that are representative of the source's compliance with the general permit, as reported pursuant to 9VAC5-510-220 C 1. Such monitoring requirements shall assure use of terms, test methods, units, averaging periods, and other statistical conventions consistent with the applicable requirement. Recordkeeping provisions may be sufficient to meet the requirements of this subsection.
