Sec. 60.143a  Monitoring of operations.

    (a) Each owner or operator of an affected facility shall install, 
calibrate, operate, and maintain a monitoring device that continually 
measures and records for each steel production cycle the various rates 
or levels of exhaust ventilation at each phase of the cycle through each 
duct of the secondary emission capture system. The monitoring device or 
devices are to be placed at locations near each capture point of the 
secondary emission capture system to monitor the exhaust ventilation 
rates or levels adequately, or in alternative locations approved in 
advance by the Administrator.
    (b) If a chart recorder is used, the owner or operator shall use 
chart recorders that are operated at a minimum chart speed of 3.8 cm/hr 
(1.5 in./hr).
    (c) All monitoring devices required by paragraph (a) of this section 
are to be certified by the manufacturer to be accurate to within 10 percent compared to Method 2 of appendix A of this 
part. The owner or operator shall recalibrate and check the device(s) 
annually and at other times as the Administrator may require, in 
accordance with the written instructions of the manufacturer and by 
comparing the device against Method 2.
    (d) Each owner or operator subject to the requirements of paragraph 
(a) of this section shall report on a semiannual basis all measurements 
of exhaust ventilation rates or levels over any 3-hour period that 
average more than 10 percent below the average rates or levels of 
exhaust ventilation maintained during the most recent performance test 
conducted under Sec. 60.8 in which the affected facility demonstrated 
compliance with the standard under Sec. 60.142a(a)(2). The accuracy of 
the respective measurements, not to exceed the values specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section, may be considered when determining the 
measurement results that must be reported.
    (e) If a scrubber primary emission control device is used to collect 
secondary emissions, the owner or operator shall report on a semiannual 
basis all measurements of exhaust ventilation rate over any 3-hour 
period that average more than 10 percent below the average levels 
maintained during the

most recent performance test conducted under Sec. 60.8 in which the 
affected facility demonstrated compliance with the standard under Sec. 
60.142(a)(1).
