R307-170-9. State Electronic Data Report


Latest version.
  • (1) General Reporting Requirements.

    (a) Each source required to install a continuous monitoring system shall submit the state electronic data report including all information specified in (2) through (10) below. Each source shall submit a complete, unmodified report in an electronic ASCII format specified by the director.

    (b) Partial Reports.

    (i) If the total duration of excess emissions during the reporting period is less than one percent of the total operating time and the continuous monitoring system downtime is less than five percent of the total operating time, only the summary portion of the state electronic data report need be submitted.

    (ii) If the total excess emission during the reporting period is equal to or greater than one percent of the total operating time, or the total monitored downtime is equal to or greater than five percent of the total operating time, the total state electronic data report shall be submitted.

    (iii) Each source required to install a continuous monitoring system for the sole purpose of generating emissions inventory data is not required to submit the excess emission report required by (7) below or the excess emission summary required by (6)(b) below, unless otherwise directed by the director.

    (c) Frequency of Reporting. Each source subject to this rule shall submit a report to the director with the following frequency:

    (i) Each source shall submit a report quarterly, if required by the director or by 40 CFR Part 60, or if the continuous monitoring system data is used for compliance determination. Each source submitting quarterly reports shall submit them by January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30 for the quarter ending 30 days earlier.

    (ii) Any source subject to this rule and not required to submit a quarterly report shall submit its report semiannually by January 30 and July 30 for the six month period ending 30 days earlier.

    (iii) The director may require any source to submit all emission data generated on a quarterly basis.

    (2) Source Information.

    The report shall contain source information including the company name, name of manager or responsible official, mailing address, AIRS number, phone number, environmental contact name, each source required to install a monitoring system, quarter or quarters covered by the report, year, and the operating time for each source.

    (3) Continuous Monitoring System Information.

    The report shall identify each channel, manufacturer, model number, serial number, monitor span, installation dates, and whether the monitor is located in the stack or duct.

    (4) Monitor Availability Reporting.

    (a) The report shall include all periods that the pollutant concentration exceeded the span of the continuous monitoring system by source, channel, start date and time, and end date and time.

    (b) Each continuous monitoring system outage or malfunction which occurs during source operation shall be reported by source, channel, start date and time, and end date and time.

    (c) When it becomes necessary to supplement continuous monitoring data to meet the minimum data requirements, the source shall use applicable reference methods and procedures as outlined in 40 CFR 60, or as stipulated in the source's applicable Subpart of the New Source Performance Standards. Supplemental data shall be reported by source, channel, start date and time, and end date and time, and may be used to offset monitor unavailability.

    (d) Monitor modifications shall be reported by source, channel, date of modification, whether a support document was submitted, and the reason for the modification.

    (5) Continuous Monitoring System Performance Specification Audits.

    (a) Each source shall submit the results of each relative accuracy test audit, relative accuracy audit and cylinder gas audit. Each source that reports linearity tests may omit reporting cylinder gas audits.

    (b) Each relative accuracy test audit shall be reported by source, channel, date of the most current relative accuracy test audit, date of the preceding relative accuracy test audit, number of months between relative accuracy test audits, units of applicable standard, average continuous emissions monitor response during testing, average reference method value, relative accuracy, and whether the continuous emissions monitor passed or failed the test or audit.

    (c) A relative accuracy audit shall be reported by source, channel, date of audit, continuous emissions monitor response, relative accuracy audit response, percent precision, pass or fail results, and whether the monitor range is high or low.

    (d) Cylinder gas audit and linearity tests shall be reported by source, channel, date, audit point number, cylinder identification, cylinder expiration date, type of certification, units of measurement, continuous emissions monitor response, cylinder concentration, percent precision, pass or fail results, and whether the monitor range is high or low.

    (6) Summary reports.

    (a) Each source shall summarize and report each continuous monitoring system outage that occurred during the reporting period in the continuous monitoring system performance summary report. The summary must include the source, channels, monitor downtime as a percent of the total source operating hours, total monitor downtime, hours of monitor malfunction, hours of non-monitor malfunction, hours of quality assurance calibrations, and hours of other known and unknown causes of monitor downtime. A source operating a backup continuous monitoring system must account for monitor unavailability only when accurate emission data are not being collected by either continuous monitoring system.

    (b) The summary report shall contain a summary of excess emissions that occurred during the reporting period unless the continuous monitoring system was installed to document compliance with an emission cap or to generate data for annual emissions inventories.

    (i) Each source with multiple emission limitations per channel being monitored shall summarize excess emissions for each emission limitation.

    (ii) The emission summary must include the source, channels, total hours of excess emissions as a percent of the total source operating hours, hours of start-up and shutdown, hours of control equipments problems, hours of process problems, hours of other known and unknown causes, emission limitation, units of measurement, and emission limitation averaging period.

    (c) When no continuous monitoring unavailability or excess emissions have occurred, this shall be documented by placing a zero under each appropriate heading.

    (7) Excess Emissions Report.

    (a) The magnitude and duration of all excess emissions shall be reported on an hourly basis in the excess emissions report.

    (i) The duration of excess emissions based on block averages shall be reported in terms of hours over which the emissions were averaged. Each source that averages opacity shall average it over a six-minute block and shall report the duration of excess opacity in tenths of an hour. Sources using a rolling average shall report the duration of excess emissions in terms of the number of hours being rolled into the averaging period.

    (ii) Sources with multiple emission limitations per channel being monitored shall report the magnitude of excess emissions for each emission limitation.

    (b) Each period of excess emissions that occurs shall be reported. Each episode of excess emission shall be accompanied with a reason code and action code that links the excess emission to a specific description, which describes the events of the episode.

    (8) Operations Report.

    Each source operating fossil fuel fired steam generators subject to 40 CFR 60, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, shall submit an operations report.

    (9) Signed Statement.

    (a) Each source shall submit a signed statement acknowledging under penalties of law that all information contained in the report is truthful and accurate, and is a complete record of all monitoring related events that occurred during the reporting period. In addition, each source with an operating permit issued under R307-415 shall submit the signed statement required in R307-415-5d.

    (10) Descriptions.

    Each source shall submit a narrative description explaining each event of monitor unavailability or excess emissions. Each description also shall be accompanied with reason codes and action codes that will link descriptions to events reported in the monitoring information and excess emission report.
