Sec.  63.1451  How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission 

limitations, work practice standards, and operation and maintenance 

requirements that apply to me?

limits in Sec.  63.1444 or Sec.  63.1446 that applies to you, you have 

demonstrated initial compliance if you meet both of the conditions in 

paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section.

roof exhaust fans on the building housing the copper converter 

department measured according to the performance test procedures in 

Sec.  63.1450(c), did not exceed 4 percent opacity.

    (2) You have submitted a notification of compliance status according 

to the requirements in Sec.  63.1454(e).

    (d) Copper converter department capture systems. You have 

demonstrated initial compliance of the copper converter department 

capture system if you meet all of the conditions in paragraphs (d)(1) 

through (4) of this section.

according to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section;

    (2) Conducted an initial performance test according to the 

procedures of Sec.  63.1450(c) demonstrating the opacity of any visible 

emissions exiting the roof monitors or roof exhaust fans on the building 

housing the copper converter department does not exceed 4 percent 

opacity;

    (3) Included in your notification of compliance status a copy of 

your written capture system operation and maintenance plan and have 

certified in your notification of compliance status that you will 

operate the copper converter department capture system at all times 

during blowing at the values or settings established for the operating 

limits in that plan; and

    (4) Submitted a notification of compliance status according to the 

requirements in Sec.  63.1454(e).

    (e) Baghouses. For each baghouse subject to operating limits in 

Sec.  63.1444(f) or Sec.  63.1446(c), you have demonstrated initial

demonstrated initial compliance if you meet all of the conditions in 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section.

    (1) Established site-specific operating limits for pressure drop and 

scrubber water flow rate and have a record of the pressure drop and 

scrubber water flow rate measured during the performance test you 

conduct to demonstrate initial compliance with paragraph (a) of this 

section.

    (2) Certified in your notification of compliance status that you 

will operate the venturi wet scrubber within the established operating 

limits for pressure drop and scrubber water flow rate.
