(b)  The owner or operator of a source shall maintain records of production rates, throughputs, material usage, and other process operational information as is necessary to determine compliance with the facility's permit and all applicable requirements.  The Director shall specify in the facility's permit according to Rule .0605 of this Section the types of records that the owner or operator shall maintain.

(c)  If the Director finds that the records maintained under Paragraph (b) of this Rule are inadequate to determine compliance with the facility's permit and all applicable requirements, the Director may require the owner or operator to use monitoring instruments.  If the Director determines that monitoring instruments are necessary to demonstrate compliance with rules in this Subchapter or Subchapter 2Q of this Chapter or with an emission standard or permit condition, the owner or operator of a source shall:

(1)           install, calibrate, operate, and maintain, in accordance with applicable performance specifications in 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B, process and control equipment monitoring instruments or procedures as necessary to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards of this Subchapter and Subchapter 2Q of this Chapter;

(2)           comply with the requirements of Rule .0613 of this Section; and

(3)           maintain, in writing, data and reports of any monitoring instruments or procedures necessary to comply with Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph that will document the compliance status of the sources or control equipment.

(d)  If the Director determines that monitoring instruments are necessary to demonstrate good operation and maintenance, the owner or operator of a source shall:

(1)           install, calibrate, operate, and maintain, in accordance with applicable performance specifications in 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B, process and control equipment monitoring instruments or procedures as necessary to demonstrate good operation and maintenance;

(2)           comply with the requirements of Rule .0613 of this Section unless otherwise specified in any other applicable rule including 40 CFR Part 75 and 40 CFR 60.13.  The Director may find that compliance with the quality assurance provisions of 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P, is adequate to assure the quality of the data; and

(3)           maintain, in writing, data and reports of any monitoring instruments or procedures necessary to comply with Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph that will document that good operation and maintenance is being achieved.
