3.0 Sampling and Analytical Procedures
3.1 Test Methods
The test methods for this test program have been presented in Table 1-1. Additional
information regarding specific applications or modifications to standard procedures is
presented below.
3.1.1 EPA Methods 3A, 7E and 10
Determination of Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, and Carbon
Monoxide Concentrations in Emissions from Stationary Sources
(Instrumental Analyzer Procedures)
Concentrations of O₂, CO₂, NOx, and CO are measured simultaneously using EPA Methods
3A, 7E, and 10, which are instrumental test methods. Conditioned gas is sent to a series of
analyzers to measure the gaseous emission concentrations. The performance requirements
of the method must be met to validate the data.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
o A dry extractive sampling system is used to report emissions on a dry
basis
o A paramagnetic analyzer is used to measure O₂
o A nondispersive infrared analyzer is used to measure CO₂
o A chemiluminescent analyzer is used to measure NOx
o A gas filter correlation nondispersive infrared analyzer is used to measure
CO
o NO and NO₂ are measured separately and summed to report NOx
emissions
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-1.
GP043AS-022762-PP-770 Page 12 of 46
Figure 3-1
EPA Methods 3A, 7E, and 10 Sampling Train
3.1.2 EPA Method 201A
Determination of PM10 and PM2.5 Emissions from Stationary Sources
(Constant Sampling Rate Procedure)
To measure PM10, extract a sample of gas at a predetermined constant flow rate through
an in-stack sizing device. The particle-sizing device separates particles with nominal
aerodynamic diameters of 10 micrometers. To minimize variations in the isokinetic sampling
conditions, you must establish well-defined limits. After a sample is obtained, remove
uncombined water from the particulate, then use gravimetric analysis to determine the
particulate mass for each size fraction.
3.1.3 EPA Method 202
Dry Impinger Method for Determining Condensable Particulate Emissions
from Stationary Sources
The CPM is collected in dry impingers after filterable PM has been collected on a filter
maintained as specified in either Method 5 of Appendix A-3 to 40 CFR 60, Method 17 of
Appendix A-6 to 40 CFR 60, or Method 201A of Appendix M to 40 CFR 51. The organic and
GP043AS-022762-PP-770 Page 13 of 46
aqueous fractions of the impingers and an out-of-stack CPM filter are then taken to dryness
and weighed. The total of the impinger fractions and the CPM filter represents the CPM.
Compared to the version of Method 202 that was promulgated on December 17, 1991, this
method eliminates the use of water as the collection media in impingers and includes the
addition of a condenser followed by a water dropout impinger immediately after the final in-
stack or heated filter. This method also includes the addition of one modified Greenburg
Smith impinger (backup impinger) and a CPM filter following the water dropout impinger.
CPM is collected in the water dropout impinger, the modified Greenburg Smith impinger,
and the CPM filter of the sampling train as described in this method. The impinger contents
are purged with nitrogen immediately after sample collection to remove dissolved SO₂ gases
from the impinger. The CPM filter is extracted with water and hexane. The impinger solution
is then extracted with hexane. The organic and aqueous fractions are dried and the residues
are weighed. The total of the aqueous and organic fractions represents the CPM.
The potential artifacts from SO₂ are reduced using a condenser and water dropout impinger
to separate CPM from reactive gases. No water is added to the impingers prior to the start
of sampling. To improve the collection efficiency of CPM, an additional filter (the “CPM
filter”) is placed between the second and third impingers
The typical sampling system is detailed in Figure 3-2.

3.2 Process Test Methods
The applicable regulations do not require process samples to be collected during this test
program.
GP043AS-022762-PP-770 Page 15 of 46
4.0 Quality Assurance and Reporting
4.1 QA Audits
Montrose has instituted a rigorous QA/QC program for its air quality testing. Quality
assurance audits are performed as part of the test program to ensure that the results are
calculated using the highest quality data available. This program ensures that the emissions
data we report are as accurate as possible. The procedures included in the cited reference
methods are followed during preparation, sampling, calibration, and analysis. Montrose is
responsible for preparation, calibration, and cleaning of the sampling apparatus. Montrose
will also perform the sampling, sample recovery, storage, and shipping. Approved contract
laboratories may perform some of the preparation and sample analyses, as needed.
4.2 Quality Control Procedures
Montrose calibrates and maintains equipment as required by the methods performed and
applicable regulatory guidance. Montrose follows internal procedures to prevent the use of
malfunctioning or inoperable equipment in test programs. All equipment is operated by
trained personnel. Any incidence of nonconforming work encountered during testing is
reported and addressed through the corrective action system.
4.2.1 Equipment Inspection and Maintenance
Each piece of field equipment that requires calibration is assigned a unique identification
number to allow tracking of its calibration history. All field equipment is visually inspected
prior to testing and includes pre-test calibration checks as required by the test method or
regulatory agency.
4.2.2 Audit Samples
When required by the test method and available, Montrose obtains EPA TNI SSAS audit
samples from an accredited provider for analysis along with the samples. Currently, the
SSAS program has been suspended pending the availability of a second accredited audit
sample provider. If the program is reinstated, the audit samples will be ordered. If required
as part of the test program, the audit samples are stored, shipped, and analyzed along with
the emissions samples collected during the test program. The audit sample results are
reported along with the emissions sample results.
4.3 Data Analysis and Validation
Montrose converts the raw field, laboratory, and process data to reporting units consistent
with the permit or subpart. Calculations are made using proprietary computer spreadsheets
or data acquisition systems. One run of each test method is also verified using a separate
example calculation. The example calculations are checked against the spreadsheet results
and are included in the final report. The “Standard Conditions” for this project are 29.92
inches of mercury and 68 °F.
GP043AS-022762-PP-770 Page 16 of 46
4.4 Sample Identification and Custody
The on-site Field Project Manager will assume or assign the role of sample and data
custodian until relinquishing custody. The sample custodian will follow proper custody
procedures before departing from the test site including:
• Assign the unique sample identification number to each sample
• Attach sample labels and integrity seals to all samples
• Complete COC form(s), ensuring that the sample identification numbers on
the samples match the sample identification numbers on the COC
• Pack and store samples in accordance with the test method requirements in
appropriate transport containers for protection from breakage, contamination,
or loss
• Keep samples in a secure locked area if not in the direct presence of Montrose
staff
The sample custodian will follow proper custody procedures upon arriving at the Montrose
office including:
• Remove samples and COC documents from vehicles and check into
designated secure sample holding areas
• Store samples requiring additional measures such as refrigeration or dry ice
appropriately
4.5 Quality Statement
Montrose is qualified to conduct this test program and has established a quality
management system that led to accreditation with ASTM Standard D7036-04 (Standard
Practice for Competence of Air Emission Testing Bodies). Montrose participates in annual
functional assessments for conformance with D7036-04 which are conducted by the
American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). All testing performed by Montrose
is supervised on site by at least one Qualified Individual (QI) as defined in D7036-04
Section 8.3.2. Data quality objectives for estimating measurement uncertainty within the
documented limits in the test methods are met by using approved test protocols for each
project as defined in D7036-04 Sections 7.2.1 and 12.10. Additional quality assurance
information is included in the appendices. The content of this test plan is modeled after the
EPA Emission Measurement Center Guideline Document (GD-042).
4.6 Reporting
Montrose will prepare a final report to present the test data, calculations/equations,
descriptions, and results. Prior to release by Montrose, each report is reviewed and certified
by the project manager and their supervisor, or a peer. Source test reports will be
submitted to the facility within 25 days of the completion of the field work. The report will

Site Safety Plan and JHA Purpose and Instructions
Purpose
Employee safety is the top priority of Montrose Environmental Group. All employees must be
trained to assess and mitigate hazards. The District Manager and Project Manager are
responsible to ensure all hazards have been properly identified and managed. All employees
have Stop Work Authority in all situations where an employee feels they or their co-worker
cannot perform a job safely or if there is a task for which they have not been adequately trained.
The Site Safety Plan (SSP) has been developed to help assist Montrose test crews with
identifying physical and health hazards and determining how the hazards will be managed.
Additionally, the SSP will help each crew manage the safety of the employees by providing
emergency procedures and information. The booklet contains a several safety forms that may
be required in the field.
Instructions
The SSP consists of the following:
communicated to all employees, signed, and posted.

Site Safety Plan and JHA Purpose and Instructions
The SSP is a living document. The Project Manager should continually update their SSPs as
new information and conditions change or if new hazards are presented.
Each completed SSP should be maintained with the Test Plan in the office for a period of 3
years. There will be an audit process developed for the Site Safety Plans.
