        tested emissions exceed permit requirements based on accurate 
        and valid emissions data, the facility shall immediately report 
        the exceedance to the commissioner, and the commissioner shall 
        direct the facility to commence appropriate modifications to the 
        facility to ensure its ability to meet permitted requirements 
        within 30 days, or to commence appropriate testing for a maximum

        demonstrate compliance within 60 days of the initial report of 
        the exceedance.  If the commissioner determines that compliance 
        has not been achieved after 30 within 60 days, then the facility 
        shall shut down until compliance with permit requirements is 
        demonstrated based on additional testing.
