8. What are the initial and continuous compliance requirements?

Initial compliance for process vents is achieved by demonstrating compliance with the selected set of emission limits. If a control device is used to achieve compliance with the emission limits, the facility must also establish operating limits for the control device based on the values measured during the performance test or determined by the design evaluation

Initial compliance for remediation material units is achieved by demonstrating that the unit meets all applicable air emission control requirements for the unit. If a control device is used, initial compliance is achieved by performing a performance test according to 40 CFR 63.7 and using specific EPA reference test methods. Operating limits must also be established for the control device based on values measured during the performance test.

To demonstrate continuous compliance, the facility must perform periodic inspections and continuous monitoring of certain types of air pollution control equipment used to comply with the final rule. The facility must also continuously monitor air emissions or operating parameters appropriate to the type of control device used to comply with the standard, and keep a record of the monitoring data.
