Minnesota Administrative Rules

7017.2001 APPLICABILITY.

Subpart 1.

Applicability.

For the purpose of conducting a performance test as required by an applicable requirement or compliance document or as a data submittal engineering test, parts 7017.2001 to 7017.2060 apply unless more stringent requirements or equivalent procedures are mandated by an applicable requirement or compliance document. However, for the purpose of conducting a data submittal engineering test, part 7017.2025 does not apply and the operating conditions for the test shall be defined in the test plan. If the commissioner determines that a data submittal engineering test was not conducted at appropriate operating conditions for the type of data submittal, the commissioner shall declare the results invalid for their intended purpose unless the results can be adjusted and made representative using a scaling factor or engineering judgment or, in the case of a permit application, the permit contains an operating limit based on the tested conditions.

Subp. 2.

Transition to new rule.

Parts 7017.2001 to 7017.2060 supersede the requirements of Exhibit C, entitled "Performance Test Procedures" as attached to air emission permits issued by the agency prior to November 1, 1993. For performance tests required by permits issued prior to November 1, 1993, if the commissioner cannot establish worst case operating conditions under part 7017.2025, subpart 2, operating conditions for the performance test shall be defined in the test plan. In this situation, if the performance test demonstrates compliance, then part 7017.2025, subpart 3, item B, applies.
