consistent with the applicable emission limitations if applicable to the
pollutant being tested.
(F) If
applicable, visible emissions observations or six (6) minute average continuous
opacity monitor readings.
(4) A description of process and control
devices, including the following:
(A) A
process flow diagram.
(B) The
maximum design capacities.
(C) A
fuel analysis and heat value for heat input rate determinations.
(D) The process and control equipment
operating conditions.

(H) The volumetric flow rate (cubic feet per
minute).
(I) The exit temperature.
(J) The exit velocity.
(5) A description of sampling
methods used, including the following:
(A) A
brief discussion of the analytical procedures with justifications for any
variance from reference method procedures.
(B) Specification of the following:
(i) The number of sampling points.
(ii) The time per point.
(iii) The total sampling time per
run.
(C) A
cross-sectional diagram of the sampling site showing sampling points.
(D) A diagram showing the following:
(i) The stack dimensions.
(ii) The sampling location.
(iii) The distance from the nearest flow
disturbance upstream and downstream of the sampling points.
(iv) The diagram of the sampling
train.
(6)
Sampling and analytical procedures used, including the following:
(A) Results and calculations, including the
following:
(i) Units consistent with the
applicable emission limitation.
(ii) One (1) complete calculation using
actual data for each type of test performed.
(iii) Raw production data signed by the
source official.
(iv) Photocopies
of all actual field data.
(B) A laboratory report, including the
following:
(i) The chain of custody.
(ii) Copies of all calibration data for
equipment used in sampling as described in section 3(d) of this rule.
(C) Applicable rules and
regulations showing the emission limitations.
(D) If applicable, copies of visible
emissions evaluations or opacity monitor readings.
(E) Copies of any continuous gaseous
emissions monitoring system readings for gaseous pollutant tests.
(b) The owner or operator of a source or emissions unit shall submit all emission test reports to the department not later than forty-five (45) days after the completion of the testing. An extension may be granted by the department if the owner or operator of the source or emissions unit submits to the department a reasonable written explanation for the requested extension not later than five (5) days prior to the end of the initial forty-five (45) day period.
