Читать книгу Continuous Emission Monitoring - James A. Jahnke - Страница 70

If the EER reports are repeatedly late, indicate operational problems at the plant, or if emission levels are substantial, a warning letter requesting that the issues be resolved within 30–90 days may be issued. Alternatively, these deficiencies could be used to trigger an inspection by the agency that may include both an examination of the emission control system operation and the emission monitoring program. The inspection could take the form of a systems audit, not requiring the use of test equipment or gases.

Based on the findings and observations of the on‐site inspection, it may be necessary to conduct limited testing on the CEM system to check that it is operating properly. Performance audit procedures may be conducted, where the CEM system is challenged with certified audit gases and/or filters to check data validity.
