Sec. 60.244  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) The owner or operator shall conduct performance tests required 
in Sec. 60.8 only when the following quantities of product are being 
cured or stored in the facility.
    (1) Total granular triple superphosphate is at least 10 percent of 
the building capacity, and
    (2) Fresh granular triple superphosphate is at least 6 percent of 
the total amount of triple superphosphate, or
    (3) If the provision in paragraph (a)(2) of this section exceeds 
production capabilities for fresh granular triple superphosphate, fresh 
granular triple superphosphate is equal to at least 5 days maximum 
production.
    (b) In conducting the performance tests required in Sec. 60.8, the 
owner or operator shall use as reference methods and procedures the test 
methods in appendix A of this part or other methods and procedures as 
specified in this section, except as provided in Sec. 60.8(b).
    (c) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the total 
fluorides standard in Sec. 60.242 as follows:
    (1) The emission rate (E) of total fluorides shall be computed for 
each run using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC16NO91.011

where:

E=emission rate of total fluorides, g/hr/Mg (lb/hr/ton) of equivalent 
P2O5 stored.
Csi=concentration of total fluorides from emission point 
``i,'' mg/dscm (gr/dscf).
Qsdi=volumetric flow rate of effluent gas from emission point 
``i,'' dscm/hr (dscf/hr).
N=number of emission points in the affected facility.
P=equivalent P2O5 stored, metric tons (tons).
K=conversion factor, 1000 mg/g (7,000 gr/lb).

    (2) Method 13A or 13B shall be used to determine the total fluorides 
concentration (Csi) and volumetric flow rate 
(Qsdi) of the effluent gas from each of the emission points. 
The sampling time and sample volume for each run shall be at least 60 
minutes and 0.85 dscm (30 dscf).
    (3) The equivalent P2O5 feed rate (P) shall be 
computed for each run using the following equation:

P=Mp Rp

where:

Mp=amount of product in storage, Mg (ton).
Rp=P2O5 content of product in storage, 
weight fraction.

    (i) The accountability system of Sec. 60.243(a) shall be used to 
determine the amount of product (Mp) in storage.
    (ii) The Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) Method 9 
(incorporated by reference--see Sec. 60.17) shall be used to determine 
the P2O5 content (Rp) of the product in 
storage.

FR 61757, Oct. 17, 2000]

    Editorial Note: At 65 FR 61757, Oct. 17, 2000, Sec. 60.244 (c)(1) 
was amended. However, the instruction, which read in part, ``revising 
the words ``metric ton'' the words ``(453,600 mg/lb)'' in the definition 
of the term ``K'' to read ``(7,000 gr/lb).'' . . . '' could not be 
incorporated because of inaccurate amendatory language.
