(6) Any variances from the reference method.

B. Persons subject to 20.2.32.111 NMAC shall submit reports on the CEMS-based data to the Department for each calendar quarter, each report to be received by the Department within 45 days after the end of the quarterly period.

(9) Identification of the days for which nitrogen dioxide or diluent data have not been obtained by an approved method for at least 18 hours of operation of the facility; justification for not obtaining sufficient data; and description of corrective actions taken;

(10) Identification of times when the nitrogen dioxide concentration as measured by the CEMS exceeded the full span of the CEMS;

(11) A report of emissions in excess of the limitation contained in 20.2.32.111 NMAC, the magnitude of the excess emissions and the time period(s) when the excess emissions occurred;

(12) Specific identification of each period of emissions in excess of the limitation contained in 20.2.32.111 NMAC that occurred during startup, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the affected facility, including the nature and causes of any malfunctions and the corrective action taken or preventative measures taken;
