Subdivision II. Recordkeeping Requirements
|
[Ord. No. 2002.112, § 5-201, 11-6-2002]
(a) General recordkeeping requirements for process operations. The owner
or operator of each process operation shall keep monthly records or
records for a time period as approved by the Board of raw material
utilization in accordance with the following:
(1)
Records shall be kept regarding the total quantities of all
raw materials utilized in each process which are required to calculate
emissions, verify applicability and compliance with all emission limitations,
or to verify production capacities and quantities; and
(2)
All relevant material safety data sheets and certified product
data sheets.
(3)
Sources operating one or more processes which emit air pollutants
through more than one emission point shall record the hours of operation
of each process so that the distribution of the raw materials or emissions
among such emission points can be estimated. Where the ECO determines
that two or more production lines are manufacturing similar products
using the same equipment, the same venting and exhaust systems and
the same raw materials, the production shall be considered a single
process.

(1)
The owner or operator of a combustion device not exempt under Section
34-241(b) shall maintain monthly records or records for a time period as approved by the Biddeford Environmental Board of representative fuel characteristics and utilization, including primary, secondary, tertiary and auxiliary fuels in accordance with the following:
a.
For applicable solid fuels, any fuel mixture, including coal,
refuse-derived fuel ("RDF"), solid waste, hazardous waste, and biomedical
waste:
4.
Sulfur content as percent sulfur by weight of fuel; and
5.
BTU content per pound of fuel;
7.
Metal and other toxic species as specified by the Board.
|
All such solid fuel and waste fuel analysis is to be performed
using a sampling and analysis plan approved by the ECO.
|
(c) General recordkeeping requirements for sources with continuous emissions
monitoring systems.
(1)
The owner or operator of a stationary source, with a certified
continuous emissions monitoring system subject to Maine Code of Regulations
shall maintain records in accordance with the provisions of 06 096
CMR 117 and all applicable federal regulations.
(2)
The owner or operator of a stationary source with a non-certified
continuous emissions monitoring system that does not meet the requirements
of 06 096 Code of Maine Rules 117, shall maintain records in accordance
with the following:
a.
Measurements of emissions as output on an instrument recorder
if applicable, or as manually recorded on log sheets as part of a
data collection procedure;
b.
Number of hours of operation of the process or combustion device
on which the continuous emissions monitor is located;
