following requirements:

(A) The cost effectiveness must be evaluated in terms of dollars per ton of volatile

organic compound emissions reduction.

(B) The cost effectiveness must be calculated as the annualized cost of the control

option, divided by the baseline emission rate, minus the control option emission rate,

as shown by the following equation:

Average cost effectiveness

($/ton removed)

=

Control option total annualized cost ($/yr)

-------------------------------------------------------

Baseline emission rate – Control option rate (tons/yr)

(C) For purposes of this subparagraph, baseline emission rate represents the maximum

emissions before the implementation of the control option. The baseline emission rate is

established using either test results or approved emission factors and historic operating

data.

(e) The department shall approve, deny, or modify each RACT proposal.

(f) Upon receipt of notice of the department's approval of the RACT proposal, the

facility shall begin implementation of the measures necessary to comply with the

1 of the following methods, as applicable:

(a) For the prime-electrodeposition process and for the final repair emission limits

specified in table 62, the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(a) if the coating line

does not have an add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the coating line

has 1 or more add-on emissions control devices.

(b) For the primer surfacer and topcoat emission limits specified in table 62,

compliance must be determined by the methodology described in the publication entitled

"Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of

Automobile and Light-duty Truck Topcoat Operations", EPA-453/R-08-002, adopted by

reference in R 336.1902. References to topcoat operations in this publication also apply

to primer surfacer lines, with the following added provisions:

(i) Unless specifically included in the adopted publication, if an anti-chip, color-in-

prime, blackout, or spot primer coating is applied as part of either a primer surfacer or

topcoat coating operation, then the anti-chip, color-in-prime, blackout, or spot primer

coating must be included in the transfer efficiency tests for that coating operation,

conducted according to section 18 or 19 of the adopted publication, and the transfer

efficiency values in section 20 of the adopted publication must not be used.

(ii) If spot primer is applied as part of a primer surfacer coating operation, then the

daily usage of spot primer, as calculated in section 8 of the adopted publication, may be

derived from monthly usage of spot primer based upon the number of vehicles processed

in the primer surfacer operation each day. If an add-on emissions control device is used

on the coating line application area to achieve compliance with the primer surfacer or

topcoat emission limits specified in table 62, then the capture efficiency must be

determined in accordance with R 336.2040(10).

(c) For the emission limits specified in column B of table 63, the method described in

either R 336.2040(12)(e) if the coating line does not have an add-on emissions control

device or R 336.2040(12)(f) if the coating line has 1 or more add-on emissions control

device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the coating line has 1 or more add-on emissions control

devices.

(7) The provisions of this rule, except for the provisions in subrule (4) of this rule, do

not apply to coating lines that are within a stationary source and that have a combined

actual emission rate of volatile organic compounds of less than 100 pounds per day or

2,000 pounds per month as of November 4, 1999. If the combined actual emission rate

equals or is more than 100 pounds per day for a subsequent day or 2,000 pounds per

month for a subsequent month, then this rule permanently applies to the coating lines.

(8) A person may exclude low-use coatings that total 55 gallons or less per rolling 12-

month period at a stationary source from the provisions of this rule, except for subrule (4)

of this rule.

(9) Between November 1 and March 31, a person may discontinue the operation of a

emissions control devices.

(ii) For the primer surfacer, topcoat, and combined primer surfacer and topcoat coating

category emission limits specified in table 64-a, compliance must be determined by the

methodology described in the publication entitled “Protocol for Determining the Daily

Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and Light-duty Truck Topcoat

Operations,” EPA-453/R-08-002, adopted by reference in R 336.1902. References to

topcoat operations in this publication also apply to primer surfacer lines, with the

following added provisions:

(A) Unless specifically included in the adopted publication, if an anti-chip, color-in-

prime, blackout, or spot primer coating is applied as part of either a primer surfacer or

topcoat coating operation, then the anti-chip, color-in-prime, blackout, or spot primer

coating is included in the transfer efficiency tests for that coating operation, conducted

according to section 18 or 19 of the adopted publication, and the transfer efficiency

values in section 20 of the adopted publication must not be used.

(B) When spot primer is applied as part of a primer surfacer coating operation, then

the daily usage of spot primer, as calculated in section 8 of the adopted publication, may

be derived from monthly usage of spot primer based upon the number of vehicles

processed in the primer surfacer operation each day. If an add-on emissions control

device is used on the coating line application area to achieve compliance with the primer

surfacer or topcoat emission limits specified in table 64-a, then the capture efficiency

must be determined in accordance with R 336.2040(10).

(iii) For the final repair coating category emission limit specified in table 64-a,

compliance must be on an occurrence weighted average basis, calculated in accordance

with the following equation, in which clear coatings have a weighting factor of 2 and all

other coatings have a weighting factor of 1:

ꢅ

∑

ꢁꢂꢃ

VOC_tot= ^ꢀꢁꢂꢃ

ꢄꢄ

ꢆꢇꢈ

ꢉꢊꢀ

Where:

VOC_tot= Total volatile organic compound content of all coating, as applied, on an

occurrence weighted average basis, and used to determine compliance with this paragraph.

i = subscript denoting a specific coating applied.

n = Total number of coatings applied in the final repair operation, other than clear

coatings

VOC_cc= The volatile organic compound content, as applied, of the clear coat used in the

final repair operation.

VOC_i= The volatile organic compound content of each coating used in the final repair

operation, as applied, other than clear coatings.

(iv) For determining the volatile organic compounds content of coatings, other than

reactive adhesives, used at automobile and light-duty truck coating assembly facilities

20

specified in table 64-a, compliance must be determined in accordance with R

336.2040(5).

(v) For determining the volatile organic compounds content of reactive adhesives used

at automobile and light-duty truck coating assembly facilities, specified in table 64-a,

compliance must be determined by the procedure described in appendix A of 40 CFR part

63, subpart PPPP, adopted by reference in R 336.1902.

(vi) As an alternative for the compliance methods in paragraphs (iv) and (v) of this

subdivision, automobile and light-duty truck coating assembly facilities may use the

manufacturer’s formulation data. If there is a disagreement between the manufacturer’s

formulation data and the results of a subsequent test, the department shall use the test

method results unless the facility can make a determination approved by the department

that the manufacturer’s formulation data are correct.

(vii) For the emission limits specified in column A of table 64-b, table 64-c, and table

64-d, the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(a) if the coating line does not have

an add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the coating line has 1 or more

add-on emissions control devices, or an alternative method as approved by the

department under R 336.1602(2).

(viii) For the emission limits specified in column B of table 64-b and table 64-d, the

method described in either R 336.2040(12)(e) if the coating line does not have an add-on

emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(f) if the coating line has 1 or more add-on

(3) To take credit for improved transfer efficiency, upon written request and approval by

the department, a person may achieve the emission limits specified in subrule (1) of this

rule by an equivalent emission limit expressed in pounds of volatile organic compounds

emitted per gallon of applied coating solids. The equivalent emission limit is established

by the following equation:

ꢋ

A =

(ꢍꢎ)

ꢏ

ꢌ

ꢈꢐꢐ

Where:

A = Allowable equivalent emission limit, pounds of volatile organic compounds per

organic compounds per gallon of coating, minus water, as applied.

S = Solids volume fraction representative of a compliance coating, gallon of solids per

gallon of coating, minus water, as applied.

The value of "S" must be determined by using the following equation:

ꢋ

S = 1 -

ꢑ.ꢒꢓ

(TE)_b= Overall baseline transfer efficiency of the coating line as specified in subrule

(4) of this rule, percent. If multiple application methods are used on the coating line, the

overall baseline transfer efficiency must be determined using the method described in R

28

be 60%. Notwithstanding this provision, a person may request, in writing to the

department, and the department may approve, a value for (TE)b that is less than 60%, but

not less than 40%. A request for a value for (TE)b of less than 60% must include a

demonstration that the lower requested value is representative of the overall transfer

efficiency achieved by similar coating lines which use the most efficient type of

application equipment that is reasonably available for the similar coating lines.

(d) A metallic surface coating operation applicable to this rule, except for motor vehicle

materials, may choose to use an equivalent volatile organic compound emission rate limit

based on the use of a combination of low-volatile organic compound coatings specified in

tables 64-e and table 64-f, specified methods of application specified under subdivision

(b) of this subrule, and add-on controls. The overall emission reduction efficiency needed

to demonstrate compliance is determined each day as follows:

(i) Obtain the emission limitation from table 64-e or table 64-f. If using the lb volatile

organic compounds/gal coating, excluding water, as applied limit from table 64-e, then

calculate the emission limitation in a solids basis according to the following equation:

S = C / 1 – (C/7.36 lb/gal)

Where:

S = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of lb volatile organic

compounds/gal of coating solids.

C = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of lb volatile organic

compounds/gal of coating, excluding water, as applied.

(ii) Calculate the required overall emission reduction efficiency of the control system

for the day according to the following equation:

E = [(VOC_a– S)/VOC_a] x 100

Where:

E = The required overall emission reduction efficiency of the control system for the

day.

VOC_a= The maximum volatile organic compound content of the coatings, as applied,

used each day on the subject coating line, in units of lb volatile organic compounds/gal of

coating solids, as determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in

subdivision (h) of this subrule.

S = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of lb volatile organic

compounds/gal of coating solids.

(e) A metallic surface coating operation applicable to this rule, with the exception of

motor vehicle materials, can choose to use add-on control equipment that must have an

overall control efficiency of 90% or higher. The coating operation would not have to

limit the volatile organic compound content of the coating materials and would not need

to use any particular coating application method.

34

(f) A person subject to this rule shall not cause or allow the emissions of volatile

organic compounds from existing motor vehicle material coating operations in any of the

2015 ozone nonattainment areas in excess of the emission rates as specified in table 64-g,

as applicable.

(g) If the provisions of more than 1 coating category of this subrule are applicable for a

specific coating, then the least stringent provision may be applied.

(h) For each coating line, compliance with the emission limits specified in this rule

must be based upon all of the following:

(i) The volume-weighted average of all coatings that belong to the same coating

category, and are used during each calendar day averaging period. Under R 336.1602(2),

the department may specifically authorize compliance to be based upon a longer

averaging period, not to exceed more than 1 calendar month.

(ii) If coatings that belong to more than 1 coating category are used on the same

coating line during the specified averaging period, then compliance must be determined

separately for each coating category.

(iii) The information and records required by subrule (5) of this rule.

(i) Compliance with the emission limits specified in this rule must be determined using

the applicable method described in the following subdivisions:

(i) For coating lines that are subject to the emission limits specified in subdivision (c)

of this subrule, the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(a) if the coating line has

no add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the coating line has 1 or more

add-on emissions control devices.

(ii) For coating lines that are subject to the emission limits specified in subrule (3)(d)

of this rule, the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(c) if the coating line has no

add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(d) if the coating line has 1 or more

add-on emissions control devices.

(4) The following work practices are required for storage, mixing operations, and

handling operations for coatings, thinners, cleaning, and coating-related waste materials.

35

The person responsible for a metallic parts surface coating operation shall develop

written procedures to comply with the following provisions:

(a) Store all volatile organic compound-containing coatings, thinners, coating-related

waste, and cleaning materials in closed containers.

(b) Ensure that mixing and storage containers used for volatile organic compound-

containing coatings, thinners, coating-related waste, and cleaning materials are kept

closed at all times, except when depositing or removing these materials.

(c) Minimize spills of volatile organic compound-containing coatings, thinners,

coating-related waste, and cleaning materials.

(d) Convey volatile organic compound-containing coatings, thinners, coating-related

waste, and cleaning materials from 1 location to another in closed containers or pipes.

(e) Minimize volatile organic compound emission from cleaning of application,

storage, mixing, and conveying equipment by ensuring that equipment cleaning is

performed without atomizing the cleaning solvent and all spent solvent is captured in

closed containers.

(5) A person who is responsible for the operation of a coating line that is subject to this

rule shall obtain current information, and keep daily records necessary for the

determination of compliance with the provisions of this rule, and as required in

R 336.2041.

R 336.1622 Emission of volatile organic compounds from existing components of

petroleum refineries; refinery monitoring program.

Rule 622. (1) A person shall not cause or allow the emission of any volatile organic

compound from any existing component, as listed in subrule (2) of this rule, of a

petroleum refinery, including topping plants, unless all of the provisions of this rule are

satisfied or unless an equivalent control method, as approved by the department under R

336.1602(2), is implemented. An alternate acceptable control method is described in

“Standards of Performance for Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries for

which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After January 4, 1983,

and on or Before November 7, 2006,” 40 CFR part 60, subpart GGG adopted by

reference in R 336.1902.

(2) A person shall not operate an existing petroleum refinery unless a monitoring

program and schedule approved by the department is implemented. This monitoring

program and schedule must provide for, and identify by type and refinery unit, by

quarter, all of the following:

(a) An annual inspection of all of the following components:

(i) Pump seals.

(ii) Process valves in liquid volatile organic compound service.

(iii) Process drains.

(iv) Components that are difficult to monitor.

(b) A quarterly inspection of all of the following components:

(i) Compressor seals.

(ii) Process valves in gaseous volatile organic compound service.

(iii) Pressure-relief valves in gaseous volatile organic compound service.

(c) A weekly visual inspection of all pump seals from which volatile organic

compounds could leak.

36

(d) An immediate inspection of any pump seal from which a liquid, including a volatile

organic compound, is observed dripping.

(e) An inspection of any relief valve from which a volatile organic compound could

discharge within 2 normal business days after it begins venting to the atmosphere.

(f) An inspection as soon as is practical, but not later than 2 normal business days, after

the repair of any component that was found leaking.

(3) Except for the visual inspections required by subrule (2)(c) of this rule, all

inspections must be performed using equipment and procedures as specified in 40 CFR

part 60, appendix A, method 21, adopted by reference in R 336.1902. A component is

leaking when a concentration of more than 10,000 ppm, by volume, as methane or

hexane, is measured by method 21.

(4) If implementation of the quarterly leak detection program as specified in subrule

(2)(b) of this rule shows that 2% or less of the process valves in a given refinery unit are

leaking for 2 consecutive quarters, then the inspections of process valves in that refinery

unit may be skipped for 1 quarter. If 2% or less of the process valves in a given refinery

unit are leaking for 5 consecutive quarters, then the inspections may be done annually. If

a subsequent inspection shows that if more than 2% of the process valves are leaking,

then quarterly inspections of valves shall again be required.

(5) The percent of valves leaking on a refinery unit, as referenced in subrule (4) of this

rule, must be determined by dividing the total number of valves found to be leaking on

the refinery unit during the specified monitoring period by the total number of valves on

the refinery unit that are required to be monitored by this rule.

(6) This rule does not apply to any of the following:

(a) Pressure-relief valves that vent to an operating flare header, fuel gas system, or

vapor control device.

(b) Components that are unsafe to monitor, until monitoring personnel would no longer

be exposed to immediate danger.

(c) Storage tank valves.

(d) Valves that are not externally regulated.

(e) Components that process, transfer, or contain 1 or more volatile organic compounds

in the liquid phase under actual conditions, all of which have a true vapor pressure of less

than 1.55 psia.

(7) Notwithstanding the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule, the monitoring of

components, such as process drains and valves, that are used solely in effecting a refinery

unit turnaround, is required only within the quarter following the turnaround.

(8) A leak that is detected pursuant to the monitoring program provisions of subrule (2)

of this rule or for another reason must be repaired. Except as provided in subrule (10) of

this rule, this leak must be repaired as soon as possible, but not more than 15 days after

the leak is detected. Until the time that the leak is repaired and retested verifying a

successful repair, the component causing the leak must bear a weather-resistant,

numbered, identifying tag that indicates the date the leak was discovered.

(9) A log of all leaks detected pursuant to the provisions of subrules (2), (3), (5), and (6)

of this rule or by another method must be maintained by the operator of the petroleum

refinery. This log must identify all of the following:

(a) The leaking component by type and location.

(b) The number of the identifying tag.

37

(c) The date the leak was discovered.

(d) The date the leak was repaired.

(e) The date the component was retested after the repair with an indication of the testing

results.

(f) The person or persons who performed the inspections. The log must be made

available to any representative of the department during normal business hours of the

refinery and be maintained for a minimum of 2 years.

(10) If a leak cannot be repaired within 15 days due to circumstances beyond the control

of the operator of the petroleum refinery or because the leaking component cannot be

repaired unless a significant portion of the refinery unit is shut down for turnaround, then

the operator shall maintain a separate log of the non-repair. The log must identify all of

the following:

(a) The leaking component by type, location, and refinery unit.

(b) The date the leak was discovered.

(c) The reason why the leak cannot be repaired within 15 days.

(d) The estimated date of repair.

(11) Within 25 days after the end of the previous quarter, the operator shall submit to

the department a report that contains all of the following information for that quarter:

(a) The total number of components tested, by type.

(b) The total number of components found leaking and repaired, by type.

(c) The accumulative total number of components, by refinery unit and type, found to

be leaking and not repaired within the required time period and the reason for non-repair.

(d) The type or types of monitoring equipment utilized during the quarter. The report

required by this subrule must be made on a form approved by the department.

(12) The department may require the early shutdown for turnaround of a refinery unit if

the department feels that there are a significant number of leaks that would justify this

action.

(13) Except for safety pressure-relief valves, a person shall not operate existing

petroleum refinery equipment that has a valve at the end of a pipe or line that contains a

volatile organic compound, unless the pipe or line is sealed with a second valve, blind

flange, plug, or cap. The sealing device may be removed only when a sample is being

taken or during maintenance operations. A current, written description detailing routine

sampling procedures and listing the sealing devices involved must be maintained and be

submitted to the department in an acceptable format upon request.

(b) An alternative control technology approved by the department under R 336.1602(2),

the use of which results in an emission level no greater than would occur by meeting the

provisions of subdivision (a) of this subrule. For purposes of comparing the actual

emission level from an alternative control technology to the allowable emission level

resulting from meeting the provisions of subdivision (a) of this subrule, the actual

emission level must be determined using the methods described in 40 CFR part 60,

appendix A and the allowable emission level must be determined using the calculation

methods described in appendix B of "Control of Volatile Organic Emissions From

Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products," EPA-450/2-78-029, both adopted

Where:

ꢉ

∑

Pt = _ꢝꢞꢟ(ꢚꢛ)(ꢜꢛ)

Pt = Sum of the partial pressures of all volatile organic compounds.

Pi = Vapor pressure of volatile organic compounds at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees

Fahrenheit).

Xi = Mole fraction of volatile organic compounds in liquid mixture.

n = Number of different volatile organic compounds in liquid mixture.

i = Individual volatile organic compound.

The mole fraction, Xi, is determined as follows:

Xi = moles of "i" in liquid mixture total moles of liquid mixture

The total moles of liquid mixture must include both the moles of volatile organic

compounds and volatile inorganic compounds, such as water, in the liquid mixture.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subrule (2)(a) of this rule, a person shall not be

degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), in an existing above ground stationary vessel,

unless the stationary vessel is equipped with a pressure/vacuum conservation vent set at

plus or minus 1.5 millimeters of mercury (0.03 pounds per square inch) or an alternate

control system at least as effective, under R 336.1602(2). For purposes of comparing the

actual emission level from an alternative control technology to the allowable emission

level resulting from the use of a pressure/vacuum conservation vent meeting this

requirement, the actual emission level must be determined using the methods described in

40 CFR part 60, appendix A, and the allowable emission level must be determined using

the calculation methods described in appendix B of "Control of Volatile Organic

Emissions From Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products", EPA-450/2-78-

029, both adopted by reference in R 336.1902.

(9) A person shall not operate an existing centrifuge, rotary vacuum filter, or other filter

(d) A miscellaneous plastic parts coating and pleasure craft coating operation applicable

to this rule can choose to use an equivalent volatile organic compound emission rate limit

based on the use of a combination of low-volatile organic compound coatings specified in

table 68 to table 68-c, specified methods of application specified under subdivision (b) of

this subrule, and add-on controls. The overall emission reduction efficiency needed to

demonstrate compliance is determined each day as follows:

(i) Obtain the emission limitation from table 68 to table 68-c. If using the pound of

volatile organic compound per gallon of coating, excluding water, as applied limit from

table 68 or table 68-b, then calculate the emission limitation in a solids basis according to

the following equation:

S = C / [1 – (C/7.36 lb/gal)]

Where:

S = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of pound of volatile

organic compound per gallon of coating solids.

C = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of pound of volatile

organic compound per gallon of coating, (excluding water) as applied.

(ii) Calculate the required overall emission reduction efficiency of the control system

for the day according to the following equation:

E = [(VOC_a– S)/VOC_a] x 100

Where:

E = The required overall emission reduction efficiency of the control system for the

day.

VOC_a= The maximum VOC content of the coatings, as applied, used each day on the

subject coating line, in units of lb VOC/gal coating solids, as determined by the

applicable test methods and procedures specified in subdivision (h) of this subrule.

S = The volatile organic compound emission limitation in terms of pound of volatile

organic compound per gallon of coating solids.

67

(e) Should product performance requirements or other needs dictate the use of higher-

volatile organic compound materials than those that would meet the recommended

emission limits, a facility can choose to use add-on control equipment that must have an

overall control efficiency of 90% or higher instead of using low-volatile organic

compound coatings and specified application methods.

(f) For each coating line, compliance with the emission limits specified in this rule is

based upon all of the following:

(i) The volume-weighted average of all coatings that belong to the same coating

category, and are used during each calendar day averaging period. The department may

specifically authorize compliance, under R 336.1602(2), to be based upon a longer

averaging period, not to exceed more than 1 calendar month.

(ii) If coatings belonging to more than 1 coating category are used on the same coating

line during the specified averaging period, then compliance must be determined

separately for each coating category.

(iii) The information and records as required by subrule (6) of this rule.

(g) Compliance with the emission limits specified in subrule (4) of this rule, must be

determined using the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(a) if the coating line

does not have an add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the coating line

has 1 or more add-on emissions control devices.

(5) The following work practices are required for storage, mixing operations, and

handling operations for coatings, thinners, cleaning, and coating-related waste materials.

closed at all times, except when depositing or removing these materials.

(c) Minimize spills of volatile organic compound-containing coatings, thinners,

coating-related waste, and cleaning materials.

(d) Convey volatile organic compound-containing coatings, thinners, coating-related

waste, and cleaning materials from 1 location to another in closed containers or pipes.

(e) Minimize volatile organic compound emissions from cleaning of application,

storage, mixing, and conveying equipment by ensuring that equipment cleaning is

performed without atomizing the cleaning solvent and all spent solvent is captured in

closed containers.

(6) A person that is responsible for the operation of a coating line that is subject to this

rule shall obtain current information and maintain daily records necessary for the

determination of compliance with the provisions of this rule, as required in R 336.2041.

finding fugitive emissions.

(b) For gathering and boosting stations in the production segment the program must

include the following:

(i) Quarterly monitoring using OGI and repair of components that are found to be

leaking.

(ii) Each fugitive emissions component repaired or replaced be resurveyed to ensure

there is no leak after repair or replacement by the use of either 40 CFR, part 60, appendix

A, method 21, adopted by reference in R 336.1902, or OGI no later than 30 days after

finding fugitive emissions.

(c) The department can allow 40 CFR, part 60, appendix A, method 21, adopted by

means to OGI.

(5) A person operating a compressor shall obtain current information and maintain

records for all requirements in sufficient detail to determine compliance, which must be

made available to the department, upon request. These records must include the

following, as applicable:

(a) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the fugitive emission standards the

following provisions must be met, as applicable:

(i) A monitoring survey of each collection of fugitive emissions components at a well

site must be conducted at least semiannually, not less than 4 months apart, after the initial

survey.

(ii) A monitoring survey of the collection of fugitive emissions components at a

gathering and boosting station must be conducted at least quarterly, not less than 60 days

apart, after the initial survey.

(iii) A written plan must be developed to include the identification and location of each

fugitive emissions component designated as difficult-to-monitor, an explanation of why

each are designated as difficult to monitor, and a schedule for monitoring at least once

per calendar year for the following:

(A) Fugitive emission components designated as difficult-to-monitor, meaning

monitoring cannot occur without elevating the monitoring personnel more than 2 meters

above the surface.

(B) Fugitive emissions components designated as unsafe-to-monitor, meaning

monitoring cannot be completed without exposing the monitoring personnel to immediate

danger while conducting a monitoring.

101

(b) Records maintained of the fugitive emissions monitoring plan as required under

subrule (4) of this rule.
