(i) From tests conducted using EPA reference method 25d.

(ii) By engineering calculations included in the compliance report.

(4) Each owner or operator of an affected facility shall on the first operating day of the month, after 12 months of emissions data are available, determine the 12-month rolling total emissions, ETunit, for the 12-month period ending with the most recent month using equation 11:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03MY07.017 Where: ETunit = the total halogenated HAP solvent emissions over the

preceding 12 months, (kilograms of solvent emissions per 12-

month period).Eunit = halogenated HAP solvent emissions for each month (j)

for the most recent 12 months (kilograms of solvent per

month).

(5) Each owner or operator of an affected facility shall on the first operating day of the month, after 12 months of emissions data are available, determine the 12-month rolling total emissions, ETfacility, for the 12-month period ending with the most recent month using equation 12:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03MY07.018 Where: ETfacility = the total halogenated HAP solvent emissions over

the preceding 12 months for all cleaning machines at the

facility, (kilograms of solvent emissions per 12-month

period).ETunit = the total halogenated HAP solvent emissions over the

preceding 12 months for each unit j, where i equals the total

number of units at the facility (kilograms of solvent

emissions per 12-month period).
