Section 229.148  Annual Performance Testing for Small, Medium and Large HMIWIs

Following the date on which the initial performance test is completed, as required by Section 229.142 of this Part, all owners or operators of small, medium, or large HMIWIs shall conduct an annual performance test, by September 15 of each year, to determine compliance with the PM, CO and HCl emission limits specified in Section 229.125(b) of this Part, using the applicable test procedures and methods specified in Section 229.140 of this Part.

a)         If all 3 annual performance tests over a 3-year period indicate compliance with the emission limits for PM, CO, or HCl specified in Section 229.125(b) of this Part, the owner or operator of an HMIWI may forego a performance test for that pollutant during the next 2 years.  If the next performance test conducted every third year indicates compliance with the emission limits for PM, CO, or HCl specified in Section 229.125(b) of this Part, the owner or operator of an HMIWI may forego a performance test for that pollutant for an additional 2 years from the date of the previous performance test.

b)         If any performance test indicates noncompliance with the respective emission limit, the owner or operator of an HMIWI shall conduct a performance test for that pollutant annually until all annual performance tests over a 3-year period indicate compliance with the respective emission limits.
