2. Determine compliance with the particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride emission limits by conducting an annual performance test, no more than 12 months following the previous performance test, using the applicable procedures and test methods listed in
par. (b).

At a minimum, a performance test for particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride shall be conducted every third year, no more than 36 months following the previous performance test. If a performance test conducted every third year indicates compliance with the emission limit for a pollutant (particulate matter, carbon monoxide or hydrogen chloride), the owner or operator may forego a performance test for that pollutant for an additional 2 years. If any performance test indicates noncompliance with the respective emission limit, a performance test for that pollutant shall be conducted annually until all annual performance tests over a 3-year period indicate compliance with the emission limit. The use of the bypass stack during a performance test shall invalidate the performance test.
