(b)  The owner or operator of a source shall maintain records of production rates, throughputs, material usage, and other process operational information necessary to determine compliance with the facility's permit and all applicable requirements. The Director shall specify in the facility's permit, pursuant to 15A NCAC 02D .0605, the types of records that the owner or operator shall maintain.

(c)  If 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, and if monitoring instruments are necessary to demonstrate compliance with rules in Subchapters 02D or 02Q 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 necessary to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards in Subchapters 02D and 02Q of this Chapter;

(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 necessary to demonstrate good operation and maintenance;

(2)           comply with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02D .0613 unless otherwise specified in any other applicable State rule or federal regulation, including 40 CFR Part 75 and 40 CFR 60.13.
