7. How Does an Affected Facility Demonstrate Compliance if They are Using an Enclosure and an Add-On Control Device?

If a source uses an enclosure (such as a spray booth) and an add-on control, US EPA Method 204 must be used to prove that the enclosure is a total enclosure. If the enclosure is not a total enclosure, a temporary enclosure can be used to measure the fugitive emissions from the enclosure and the control device. Stack testing is used to determine compliance with the emissions limit. To measure emissions US EPA Method 25A as total hydrocarbons (as a surrogate for total HAP) or US EPA Method 18 for specific HAP must be used. New and existing sources that comply using add-on control devices must conduct the required performance testing no later than 180 days after their compliance date.

IncineratorDuring and after the initial performance test, the facility must monitor and record certain control device parameters to ensure that the control device continues to be operated as it was during the test. For example, for thermal oxidizers the source must monitor and record combustion temperature and maintain the temperature above an allowable minimum value. For control devices other than thermal oxidizers, the facility must identify parameters that demonstrate proper control device operation and have these parameters approved by the appropriate local air pollution control agency. Monitored operating parameters must be kept within the allowable ranges to demonstrate compliance with the control device operating requirement.
