NR 484.04 (13), as applicable. (b) Particulate matter. When compliance with a particulate matter emission limitation is determined using Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H, 5I, or 17 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 representative repetitions. In addition, all of the following provisions apply: 1. Sootblowing shall be performed during one repetition of each test for particulate matter emissions on any boiler that routinely employs sootblowing, unless the boiler uses a continuous sootblowing system. If a continuous sootblowing system is operating during the test, compliance with the emission limitation shall be determined by the arithmetic mean of the results of all repetitions. If a continuous sootblowing system is not operating during the test, the representative average pounds of particulate matter emissions per million Btu heat input shall be determined by the following equation:
E = Es ((A + B) S/AR) + Ens((R - S)/R - (BS/AR))
where:

Ens is the arithmetic average pounds of particulate matter per million Btu heat input for test runs with no sootblowing
A is the hours of sootblowing during test runs containing sootblowing
B is the hours with no sootblowing during test runs containing sootblowing
R is the average hours of boiler operation per 24 hours
S is the average hours of sootblowing per 24 hours
2. Each repetition for a particulate emissionmatter emissions test shall have a sample volume of at least 30 dry standard cubic feet.
3. Method 17, for particulates particulate matter emissions, in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13), may not be used where stack or duct temperatures exceed 320°F. 4. Heat input shall be equal to the fuel use rate multiplied by the heat content of the fuel on an as-fired basis. Fuels shall be analyzed for heat content using the procedures in Method 19 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13). Alternately, heat input may be determined using a continuous emission monitor that meets the applicable performance specifications in 40 CFR part 60, Appendices B and F, or, for affected sources, the performance specifications in 40 CFR part 75, Appendices A to I, incorporated by reference under s. NR 484.04 (21), (21m), and (27). 5. Any boiler emission rate in pounds per million Btu heat input shall be determined using the heat input based on fuel use rate. The emission rate may be determined using the F-Factor calculation shown in Method 19 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13), with written approval from the department. If the F-Factor method is used, an ultimate fuel analysis shall be performed. An integrated gas sample, using Method 3, 3A, or 3B, or 3C in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13), shall be collected and analyzed for oxygen and carbon dioxide content. Other methods for determining the boiler heat input may be used only if approved, in writing, by the department. 6. If cyclonic flow is a possibility at a particulate matter emission test location, a test for the presence of cyclonic flow shall be performed before the particulate matter test using the procedures in Method 1 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13). If cyclonic flow is present, the flow must be straightened before testing can begin unless the source owner or operator demonstrates, to the department's satisfaction, the acceptability of the location using the alternate procedure to Method 1. If cyclonic flow is not present, testing can proceed. 7. Except for sources subject to emission testing requirements in ch. NR 440 under 40 CFR part 60, the department may require the owner or operator of a source capable of emitting condensablecondensable particulate matter, to include an analysis of the back half of the stack sampling train catch in the total particulate catch for any emission test using Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H, 5I, or 17, in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13). This procedure and analysis shall be performed using Method 202 in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (9). _Hlk146896740(e) Organic compound emissions. When compliance with an organic compound emission limitation is determined using Methods 18, 25, 25A, or 25B, or 320 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in under s. NR 484.04 (13), or ASTM D6348-12 (2020), incorporated by reference under s. NR 484.10 (55r), the test shall consist of a minimum of 3 representative repetitions. 63Section 63 NR 439.07 (9) is repealed and recreated to read: (9) Emission test reporting requirements. For compliance emission tests, including initial certification tests and relative accuracy tests performed under s. NR 439.09, the owner, operator, or designee of the source tested shall submit to the department an emission test report within 60 calendar days after completion of a compliance emission test. If requested, the department may grant an extension of up to 30 calendar days for test report submittal. The failure to include any information required under this subsection in an emission test report may result in rejection of the test report submittal. The emission test report shall include all of the following information for the emissions unit tested: (a) A detailed description of each emissions unit and control device.
