Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) Whenever the Executive Officer finds that it is necessary to determine compliance of any source with permit conditions or with any State or local law, order, rule, or regulation relating to air pollution, including confirmation of the reliability, accuracy and precision of any in-stack monitoring equipment, he or she may require the testing of such source by qualified personnel of the State Board, by an independent contractor to the State Board, or by an independent tester specified by the responsible party upon approval by the Executive Officer.
(b) For testing conducted by the State Board's personnel or an independent contractor to the Board, the responsible party shall pay a fee in accordance with the following schedule to cover the cost of planning, preliminary evaluation, sampling, sample analysis, calculations, and report preparation with respect to samples of emissions secured from the source. The fees listed in the schedule shall be the maximum fees and shall be reduced by the Executive Officer if the actual cost to conduct a specific test is less. Fees for any compliance test not listed in the schedule shall be determined by the Executive Officer based on the cost to conduct the test.
