Читать книгу Continuous Emission Monitoring - James A. Jahnke - Страница 74

The position of EPA has been that sources are obligated to comply with all permit emission limits and standards at all times. With regard to this position of EPA, in §§70.6(a)(3) and 71.6(a)(3) of 40 CFR 70 and 71, State and Federal Operating Permit Programs require that a source operating permit include a monitoring program. As stated in Section 70.6:

Where the applicable requirement does not require periodic testing or instrumental or noninstrumental monitoring, [the permit must still include] periodic monitoring [requirements] sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period, that are representative of the source's compliance with the permit.

Also, a responsible official from the company must certify that the source is in compliance with all applicable requirements. The periodic monitoring should be of sufficient quality to provide a basis for the official to certify the compliance status of the source under all operating conditions.
