Universal Citation: 326 IN Admin Code 19-8

Current through March 20, 2024

Sec. 8.

Reporting requirements are as follows:

(1) Initial compliance status report. Each owner or operator of a batch process train or unit operation subject to this rule shall submit an initial compliance status report within sixty (60) calendar days after the compliance dates specified in section 9 of this rule as follows:

(A) The initial compliance status report shall include the following:
(i) The results of exemption.

(ii) Process vent determinations.

(iii) Compliance tests.

(iv) Values of monitored parameters established during compliance tests.

(v) Any other information used to demonstrate compliance and recorded under section 7 of this rule.

(B) For compliance tests and process vent determinations based on measurements, the initial compliance status report shall include one (1) complete test report for each test method used for a particular kind of process vent. For additional tests and measurements performed for the same kind of process vent using the same test method, the test results or measurement results shall be submitted, but a complete test report is not required.

(C) A complete test report shall include the following:
(i) A brief process description.

(ii) A sampling site description.

(iii) A description of sampling and analysis procedures and any modifications to standard procedures.

(iv) Quality assurance procedures.

(v) A record of operating conditions during the test.

(vi) A record of preparation of standards.

(vii) A record of calibrations.

(viii) Raw data sheets for field sampling.

(ix) Raw data sheets for field and laboratory analyses.

(x) Documentation of calculations.

(xi) Any other information required by the test method.

(D) For each monitored parameter for which a range is required to be established under section 5(i) of this rule, the compliance status report shall include the following information:
(i) The specific range of the monitored parameter or parameters for each control device.

(ii) The rationale for the specific range for each parameter for each control device, including the following:
(AA) Any data and calculations used to develop the range.

(BB) A description of why the range indicates proper operation of the control device or final recovery device.

(2) Semiannual compliance status reports. The owner or operator of a batch process train or unit operation subject to this rule shall submit semiannual compliance status reports containing the information in clauses (A) and (B). The semiannual compliance status report shall be submitted no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the end of each six (6) month period to the department. The first report shall be submitted no later than eight (8) months after the date the initial compliance status report is due and shall cover the six (6) month period beginning on the date the initial compliance status report is due as follows:

(A) Semiannual reports on parameter monitoring for controlled process vents. For a process vent equipped with a control device to meet the requirement of section 3 of this rule, the semiannual compliance status reports shall include the following recorded information:
(i) Reports of monitored parameters for all operating days when the average values recorded under section 7(c) of this rule were outside the ranges established in the initial compliance status report or permit issued by the commissioner.

(ii) Reports of the times and durations of all periods recorded under section 9(3) of this rule when the monitoring device is not working or monitoring data is not collected during process operation generating the process vent stream or during operation of the control or recovery device.

(iii) Reports of the times and durations of all periods recorded under section 7(c)(2) of this rule in which the pilot flame is absent.

(iv) Reports on monitoring devices and parameters approved by the commissioner under section 7(e) of this rule.

(B) Semiannual reports on subsequent compliance tests for controlled process vents and subsequent process vent determination tests. If any subsequent compliance tests or subsequent process vent determination tests are conducted during the semiannual reporting period after the initial compliance status report has been submitted, the semiannual compliance status report shall include the data recorded under section 7 of this rule.
