APDG 5241: Periodic Monitoring

Periodic MonitoringDoes the rule contain sufficient monitoring?Does the rule have sufficient monitoring frequency?If ‘NO’ to either of the above, then Periodic Monitoring is required
Example: Periodic MonitoringF. Compliance with subparagraphs (A)-(C) of this paragraph shall be determined by applying
the following test methods, as appropriate. The highest reading obtained shall determine compliance with the appropriate visible emission limit:
i. CEMS as described in subparagraph (D) of this paragraph;
ii. Test Method 9 (40 CFR 60, Appendix A);
iii. Alternate Method 1 to Method 9, Light Detection and Ranging (40 CFR 60, Appendix A); or

Does the unit have an emission limitation?Does the unit have a control device?Is the unit a major source PRE control?If ‘YES’ to ALL of the above, then CAM is required**
** Certain exemptions to CAM requirements exist
Turbine = 0.032 lb NOx/MMBtuPre-control = 150 tpy NOxControl device = SCRCAM is required
