(4) All 4-hour block arithmetic average load levels of your municipal waste combustor.
(5) All 4-hour block arithmetic average flue gas temperatures at the inlet of the particulate matter control device.
(6) If you elect to continuously monitor particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions instead of conducting performance testing, all 24-hour daily arithmetic average concentrations and percent reductions, as appropriate, of particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions.
(7) If you elect to use a continuous automated sampling system to monitor mercury or dioxins/furans instead of conducting performance testing, all integrated 24-hour mercury concentrations (or percent reductions) or all integrated 2-week dioxins/furans concentrations.
(c) Records of exceedances. Document all the following three items:
(1) Calendar dates whenever any of the seven pollutant or parameter levels recorded in paragraph (b) of this section or the opacity level recorded in paragraph (a)(1) of this section did not meet the emission limits or operating levels specified in this subpart.
(2) Reasons you exceeded the applicable emission limits or operating levels.
(3) Corrective actions you took, or are taking, to meet the emission limits or operating levels.
(d) Records of minimum data. Document three items:
(1) Calendar dates for which you did not collect the minimum amount of data required under §§ 60.5935 and 60.6010. Record the dates for the following types of pollutants and parameters:
(i) Sulfur dioxide emissions.
(ii) Nitrogen oxides emissions.
(iii) Carbon monoxide emissions.
(iv) Load levels of your municipal waste combustor.
(v) Temperatures of the flue gases at the inlet of the particulate matter control device.
(vi) If you elect to continuously monitor particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions instead of conducting performance tests, the particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions.
(vii) If you elect to use continuous automated sampling systems for dioxins/furans or mercury, dates and times when the sampling systems were not operating or were not collecting a valid sample.
(2) Reasons you did not collect the minimum data.
(3) Corrective actions you took, or are taking, to obtain the required amount of data.
(e) Records of exclusions. Document each time you have excluded data from your calculation of averages for any of the following pollutants or parameters and the reasons the data were excluded:
(1) Sulfur dioxide emissions.
(2) Nitrogen oxides emissions.
(3) Carbon monoxide emissions.
(4) Load levels of your municipal waste combustor.
(5) Temperatures of the flue gases at the inlet of the particulate matter control device.
(6) If you elect to continuously monitor particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride, or who elect to use continuous automated sampling systems for dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, instead of conducting performance tests:
(i) Particulate matter emissions data.
(ii) Cadmium emissions data.
(iii) Lead emissions data.
(iv) Mercury emissions data.
(v) Hydrogen chloride emissions data.
(vi) Dioxins/furans emissions data.
(f) Records of drift and accuracy. Document the results of your daily drift tests and quarterly accuracy determinations according to the following:
(1) For sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxides, according to Procedure 1 of appendix F of this part. Keep the records for the sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide continuous emissions monitoring systems.
(2) If you elect to continuously monitor particulate matter instead of conducting performance testing, according to Procedure 2, appendix F of this part. Keep the records for the particulate matter continuous emissions monitoring systems.
(3) If you elect to continuously monitor cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride instead of conducting performance testing, maintain the results of all quality evaluations, including daily drift tests and periodic accuracy determinations, specified in the approved site-specific performance evaluation test plan or as specified in Procedures 5 and 6 of appendix F of this part, as applicable.
(4) If you elect to use continuous automated sampling systems for dioxins/furans or mercury, the results of all quality evaluations specified in the approved site-specific performance evaluation test plan or Procedure 5 of appendix F of this part, as applicable.
(g) Records of the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide. If you choose to monitor carbon dioxide instead of oxygen as a diluent gas, document the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide, as specified in § 60.5930.
(h) Records of calendar dates. Include the calendar date on each record.
(i) Time system. All continuous monitoring systems data must be recorded using “local time” for the location where the municipal waste combustor is located, unless the Administrator approves an alternative time system.
(j) Additional recordkeeping for continuous cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride monitoring systems. In addition to the requirements of paragraphs (a) through (i) of this section, if you elect to install a continuous emission monitoring system for cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride, you must maintain the following additional records:
(1) All required continuous emission monitoring measurements (including monitoring data recorded during unavoidable continuous emission monitoring system breakdowns and out-of-control periods).
(2) The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous emission monitoring system was inoperative except for zero (low-level) and high-level checks.
(3) The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous emission monitoring system was out of control, as defined in § 60.5985.
(4) The date and time of commencement and completion of each period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances that occurs during warmups, startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the municipal waste combustor.
(5) The date and time of commencement and completion of each time period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances, that occurs during periods other than warmups, startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the municipal waste combustor.
(6) The nature and cause of any malfunction (if known).
(7) The corrective action taken to correct any malfunction or preventive measures adopted to prevent further malfunctions.
(8) The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the continuous emission monitoring system that was inoperative or out of control.
(9) All procedures that are part of a quality control program developed and implemented for the continuous emission monitoring system.
(10) When more than one continuous emission monitoring system is used to measure the emissions from one municipal waste combustor (e.g., multiple breechings, multiple outlets), record the results as required for each continuous emission monitoring system.
(k) Additional recordkeeping for continuous automated sampling systems. If you elect to install a continuous automated sampling system for dioxins/furans or mercury, you must maintain the following additional records:
(1) All required 24-hour integrated mercury concentration (or percent reduction) or 2-week integrated dioxins/furans concentration data (including any data obtained during unavoidable system breakdowns and out-of-control periods).
(2) The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous automated sampling system was inoperative.
(3) The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous automated sampling system was out of control.
(4) The date and time of commencement and completion of each period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances that occurs during warmups, startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the municipal waste combustor.
(5) The date and time of commencement and completion of each time period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances that occurs during periods other than warmups, startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of the municipal waste combustor.
(6) The nature and cause of any malfunction (if known).
(7) The corrective action taken to correct any malfunction or preventive measures adopted to prevent further malfunctions.
(8) The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the continuous automated sampling system that was inoperative or out of control.
(9) All procedures that are part of a quality control program developed and implemented for the continuous automated sampling system.
(10) When more than one continuous automated sampling system is used to measure the emissions from one municipal waste combustor (e.g., multiple breechings, multiple outlets), record the results as required for each system.
