146 SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Since 1971, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) have been promulgated
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for twenty-seven (27) industrial
categories.
Section 60.8 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
specifies conditions for conductance of performance tests for determining
compliance with the regulations.
Paragraph(a) states in part that performance
tests are to be conducted "within 60 days after achieving the maximum production
rate at which the affected facility will be operated, but not later than 180
days after initial startup of such facility ••• "
Startup is defined under
Part 60.2, paragraph
(0),
as "the setting in operation of an affected facility
for any purpose."
The general nature of this definition could result in a
nonuniform interpretation of "startup" by enforcement personnel as applied to
various source categories.
The purpose of this manual, therefore, is to provide .concise, descriptive
summaries of the regulated industries including all operations and procedures
related to the startup of a new facility.
These industrial "profiles" will
provide a common .basis upon which decisions can be made with respect to the
proper time for performance testing.
This is an important decision since test-
ing at less than optimum conditions can yield erroneous and unrepresentative
results as well as incurring additional costs upon tne source operator.
LIMITATIONS
This manual should not be used as a substitute for meeting NSPS
require~
ments as presented in the Federal Register or Code of Federal Regulations, since
the summaries in this manual do not contain all of the requirements a source
must meet in performance testing.
Additionally, new standards are nearing
promulgation and current standards are being revised; this manual represents
standards in effect only through March, 1979.
EFFECTIVE·DATE
Each source section in this manual contains an effective date.
Any source
in that category constructed, reconstructed or modified after the effective
date is subject to the applicable NSPS.
