monoxide emissions. Each test run shall be a minimum

of 60 minutes long. Test results must be reported as

parts per million dry-basis (ppmv), pounds per hour

emissions. Each test run shall be a minimum of 60

minutes long. Test results must be reported as parts per

million dry-basis (ppmv), pounds per hour (lbs/hr), and

pounds per thousand pounds of steam produced

(lbs/Mlbs steam).

The following parameters must be monitored and recorded

during each test on the Wellons boiler:

approximate percentage of wood and bark, and the

percentage by weight that passes a 1/8” sieve.

Oregon DEQ Method 7 and EPA Methods 1-4 must be used for

measuring particulate matter emissions from the Heil Rotary

Drum Dryer. Each test run shall be a minimum of 60 minutes

long with a minimum sample volume of at least 31.8 dscf. Test

results must be reported as grains per dry standard cubic feet

(gr/dscf), pounds per hour (lbs/hr), and pounds per oven dried

ton of material dried (lbs/ODT).

VOC must also be measured during each particulate matter test

on the Heil Rotary Drum Dryer using EPA Method 25A. Each

test run shall be a minimum of 60 minutes long. Test results

must be reported as parts per million dry-basis (ppmv), pounds

per hour (lbs/hr), and pounds per oven dried ton of material

dried (lbs/ODT).

Each source test shall consist of three (3) valid test runs and

emission results must be reported as the arithmetic average of

all valid test runs.

All tests must be conducted in accordance with the

Department’s Source Sampling Manual and with the pretest

plan submitted at least 15 days in advance and approved by the

Regional Source Test Coordinator. Test data and results must

be submitted for review to the Regional Source Test

Coordinator within 30 days unless otherwise approved in the

pretest plan.

Only regular operating staff may adjust the combustion system

or production processes and emission control parameters

during the source test and within two hours prior to the tests.

Any operating adjustments made during the source test, which

are a result of consultation during the tests with source testing

personnel, equipment vendors or consultants, may render the

source test invalid.

compilation of emission factors) that has been reviewed and approved

by DEQ.

5.5. Alternate

Emission

Factors by

Source

Testing
