NR 440.76(9)(f)1.1. You shall conduct annual evaluations of your continuous emission monitoring systems no more than 13 months after the previous evaluation was conducted. NR 440.76(9)(g)(g) What must I do if I choose to monitor carbon dioxide instead of oxygen as a diluent gas? You shall establish the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide during the initial evaluation of your continuous emission monitoring systems. You may reestablish the relationship during annual evaluations. To establish the relationship, use the following 3 procedures: NR 440.76(9)(g)2.2. Conduct at least 3 test runs for oxygen. Make sure each test run represents a 1-hour average and that sampling continues for at least 30 minutes in each hour. NR 440.76(9)(h)(h) What is the minimum amount of monitoring data I must collect with my continuous emission monitoring systems and is the data collection requirement enforceable? NR 440.76(9)(h)1.1. Where continuous emission monitoring systems are required, you shall obtain 1-hour arithmetic averages. Make sure the averages for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide are in parts per million by dry volume at 7% oxygen, or the equivalent carbon dioxide level. Use the 1-hour averages of oxygen or carbon dioxide data from your continuous emission monitoring system to determine the actual oxygen or carbon dioxide level and to calculate emissions at 7% oxygen, or the equivalent carbon dioxide level. NR 440.76(9)(h)2.2. You shall obtain at least 2 data points per hour in order to calculate a valid 1-hour arithmetic average. Section NR 440.13 (5) (b) requires your continuous emission monitoring systems to complete at least one cycle of operation, sampling, analyzing and data recording for each 15-minute period. NR 440.76(9)(h)3.3. You shall obtain valid 1-hour averages for 75% of the operating hours per day for 90% of the operating days per calendar quarter. An operating day is any day the unit combusts any municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel. NR 440.76(9)(h)4.4. If you do not obtain the minimum data required in subds. 1. to 3., you are in violation of the data collection requirement regardless of the emission level monitored, and you shall notify the department according to sub. (13) (h) 5. NR 440.76(9)(h)5.5. If you do not obtain the minimum data required in subds. 1. to 3., you shall still use all valid data from the continuous emission monitoring systems in calculating emission concentrations and percent reductions in accordance with par. (i). NR 440.76(9)(i)(i) How do I convert my 1-hour arithmetic averages into the appropriate averaging times and units? NR 440.76(9)(i)2.2. You shall use section 4.3 of Method 19 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (1), to calculate the daily geometric average concentrations of sulfur dioxide emissions. If you are monitoring the percent reduction of sulfur dioxide, use section 5.4 of Method 19 to determine the daily geometric average percent reduction of potential sulfur dioxide emissions. NR 440.76(9)(i)3.3. If you operate a Class I municipal waste combustion unit, you shall use section 4.1 of Method 19 to calculate the daily arithmetic average for concentrations of nitrogen oxides. NR 440.76(9)(i)4.4. You shall use section 4.1 of Method 19 to calculate the 4-hour or 24-hour daily block averages, as applicable, for concentrations of carbon monoxide.
