If you operate a(n) . . . You must . . . Or you must . . .
(1) Thermal oxidizerMaintain the 3-hour block average firebox temperature above the minimum temperature established during the performance testMaintain the 3-hour block average THC concentration 1 in the thermal oxidizer exhaust below the maximum concentration established during the performance test.
(2) Catalytic oxidizerMaintain the 3-hour block average catalytic oxidizer temperature above the minimum temperature established during the performance test; AND check the activity level of a representative sample of the catalyst annually except as specified in footnote “2” to this tableMaintain the 3-hour block average THC concentration 1 in the catalytic oxidizer exhaust below the maximum concentration established during the performance test.
(3) BiofilterMaintain the 24-hour block biofilter bed temperature within the range established according to § 63.2262(m)Maintain the 24-hour block average THC concentration 1 in the biofilter exhaust below the maximum concentration established during the performance test.
(4) Control device other than a thermal oxidizer, catalytic oxidizer, or biofilterPetition the EPA Administrator for site-specific operating parameter(s) to be established during the performance test and maintain the average operating parameter(s) within the range(s) established during the performance testMaintain the 3-hour block average THC concentration 1 in the control device exhaust below the maximum concentration established during the performance test.
(5) Process unit that meets a compliance option in Table 1A to this subpart, or a process unit that generates debits in an emissions average without the use of a control deviceMaintain on a daily basis the process unit controlling operating parameter(s) within the ranges established during the performance test according to § 63.2262(n)Maintain the 3-hour block average THC concentration 1 in the process unit exhaust below the maximum concentration established during the performance test.

1 You may choose to subtract methane from THC measurements.

2 You may forego the annual catalyst activity check during the calendar year when a performance test is conducted according to Table 4 to this subpart.
