Section 240. Compliance

A. The department will evaluate a nonmetallic mineral processing facility's compliance with the emission standards in 9VAC5-510-190 as part of the department's annual compliance process. In performing the evaluation, the department will consider any annual emission update submitted pursuant to 9VAC5-510-230.

B. Upon presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law, the permittee shall allow the department to perform the following:

1. Enter upon the premises where the source is located or emissions-related activity is conducted, or where records must be kept under the terms and conditions of the permit.

2. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of the permit.

3. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and air pollution control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under the permit.

4. Sample or monitor at reasonable times substances or parameters for the purpose of assuring compliance with the permit or applicable requirements.

Department representatives will report to the site office and notify a company official or representative of their presence immediately upon entering any operation, as required by Mine Safety and Health Agency standards. For purposes of this condition, the time for inspection shall be deemed reasonable during regular business hours or whenever the facility is in operation. Nothing contained herein shall make an inspection time unreasonable during an emergency.
