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?
