1 PURPOSE
This Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) Monitoring Plan describes
the monitoring system used to provide evidence of compliance with the Tooele
Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) RCRA and Title V permits. This plan
does not include detailed Quality Assurance (QA) information about CEMS
Certification or the annual Reference Method Audit (RMA). That information is
included in the CEMS Certification Test Protocol Plan (EG 037) and the CEMS
Quality Assurance Program Plan (EG 033).
2 SCOPE
2.1 This document includes the plan for complying with Title 40 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 266, 40 CFR Part 60, 40 CFR Part 63
subpart EEE, App. A, and Utah Air Conservation Rules R307 in the
categories of:
• Calibration of CEMS
• Calibration Drift (CD) determination and adjustment of CEMS
• Preventive Maintenance (PM) of CEMS (including spare parts
inventory)
• Data recording, calculations, and reporting
• Corrective Action Program for malfunctioning CEMS
2.2 Information relating to analyzers used for Permit Compliance is included
in this plan. The RCRA and Air Quality programs are administered by
the State of Utah, Department of Environmental Quality.
2.3 Process control analyzers are used throughout the furnace systems, as
deemed necessary by TOCDF, to monitor the process exhaust streams
and to evaluate the operating condition of the respective
furnace/incinerator.
2.4 There are spare analyzers located in the common stack spare racks
which are certified for use in compliance locations. The analyzers have
a "Certified" tag attached to the front panel. Only the analyzers will be
relocated (not the sampling system or sample conditioning system). All
compliance CEMS (RCRA, Air Quality, and certified spares) will be
audited quarterly to ensure a sound audit trail for their accuracy from the
time they are certified until they are used for compliance purposes. Only
certified and audited analyzers will be used for compliance monitoring.
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 3
2.5 Certified analyzers have a certification tag attached to the front panel
with the following information:
• Serial Number
• Quarterly Audit Due Date
• Quarterly Audit Completed Date
• Annual Audit Due Date
• "CERTIFIED"
2.6 The TOCDF has four separate incinerator systems that exhaust into a
common stack. These four furnaces are monitored at the duct that feeds
the effluent from each furnace into the stack. This design allows
monitoring of the exhaust from individual furnaces rather than the
combination of the exhaust from more than one furnace. Each furnace
does, however, have its own pollution abatement system.
2.7 This plan includes detail about the location of all RCRA and Title V
monitors as well as their sample points. This information is provided to
show compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, 63 Subpart EEE, Part 266, and
R307.
2.8 All the CEMS and analyzers are connected electronically to a computer
in the Control Room from which furnace operations are controlled. All
analyzer auditing, calibration, repair, and preventive maintenance (PM)
are performed by trained TOCDF personnel.

Page 11
• Response Time Test
• Demonstrate basic knowledge of applicable operating
permits and procedures that govern the operation of the
CEMS
Monitoring QC inspectors will audit and approve the certification
package.
Operators must calibrate at least one CEMS analyzer per
calendar quarter to maintain certification.
5.4 Operator Recertification
Previously certified operators that allow their certification to lapse may
recertify by performing a calibration and a 4-Day calibration drift test on
any analyzer.
6 PROCEDURE
6.1 Pollutants and Diluents to be Measured and Expected
Concentrations
See Table 6.4-1, CEMS Operating Data
6.2 Emissions Flow Diagrams and Flow Charts of Emissions and
Emissions Monitoring Systems
Drawings TE-6-F-501 and TE-6-FD-502 provide flow charts and CEMS
sample locations for the incinerator and furnace systems.
6.3 Sampling Locations
6.3.1 Sampling point sites for the Title V and RCRA Compliance
CEMS are in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60.
6.3.2 The following conditions must be met:
• The sample point is at least two equivalent duct diameters
downstream from the nearest control device, the point of
pollutant generation, or other point at which a change in the
pollutant concentration or emission rate may occur.
• The sample point is at least one half-equivalent duct diameter
upstream from the effluent exhaust or control device.

CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 12
6.3.3 When the above criteria can not be met, a stratification test will
be performed at the time of the initial CEMS certification to
validate the sampling efficiency of the CEMS probe.
6.3.4 The sample probe is extended into the duct or stack to cause
the measurement point to be no less than 1.0 meter from the
stack or duct wall, or within or centrally located over the
centroidal area of the stack or duct cross-section or, no greater
than 1 percent of the stack duct cross-sectional area.
6.4 Alternate Sampling Procedures
6.4.1 There are no alternate sampling procedures because there are
back-up systems and previously certified spare analyzers that
may be moved to serve as replacement units.
6.4.2 All analyzers used to monitor at compliance locations are
certified, including spares. This allows them to be moved and
replace malfunctioning compliance instruments. When a
malfunctioning compliance CEMS instrument is replaced with a
spare unit, the replacement unit will:
• Measure the same parameter
• Have the same operating range
• Have been certified
• Be calibrated before waste feed is started
• Have a Response Time Test completed before waste feed is
started
• Have an Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA) completed before
waste feed is started
6.4.3 There is a spare NOx analyzer operating at all times. However
since both units share one probe and PDARS link, only one
analyzer can monitor at a time.

6.6 CEMS Equipment And Methods Description
6.6.1 CO Analyzer
6.6.1.1 Manufacturer: Teledyne, Advanced Pollution
Instrumentation Division (API)
6.6.1.2 Model: 300EM
6.6.1.3 Measurement Principle: Non-dispersive Infrared (NDIR)
6.6.1.4 Operating range: All API analyzers are dual range, auto-
ranging analyzers
1) Range One: 0-200 ppm CO
2) Range Two: 0-5000 ppm CO
6.6.1.5 Theory of Operation:
1) The 300EM uses a beam of broad-band IR light
with a known intensity (measured during
calibration) and directs it through a multi-pass
filter with sample gas. The sample cell uses
mirrors at each end to reflect the IR beam back
and forth through the sample gas to generate a
14m absorption path giving the analyzer
maximum sensitivity to fluctuations in CO
density.
2) The beam then passes through a band-pass
filter that only allows light at a wavelength of
4.7µm to pass. The beam then strikes a photo-
detector that converts it into a modulated
voltage signal representing the attenuated
intensity of the beam.
3) The 300EM uses a Gas Filter Correlation (GFC)
Wheel in the light path to overcome the effects
of interfering gases that also absorb light at
4.7µm, such as CO2 and H2O.
4) The GFC wheel contains two chambers; one
that contains nitrogen (Measurement cell) and
the other nitrogen and a high concentration of
CO (Reference cell).
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN

CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 20
5) As the wheel spins IR light passes alternately
thorough the two cell cavities. When the beam
is exposed to the Reference cell, the CO in the
gas filter wheel strips the beam of most of the
IR at 4.7µm. When the beam is exposed to the
Measurement cell, the N2 in the wheel does not
absorb IR light. The fluctuation in the intensity
of the IR light striking the photo-detector that
results in the output of the detector resembles a
square wave. The 300EM determines the
amount of CO in the sample chamber by
computing the ratio between the peak of the
Measurement pulse and the peak of the
Reference pulse. Once the 300EM has
computed the ratio, a lookup table is used, with
interpolation, to linearize the instrument. This
linearized concentration value is combined with
calibration SLOPE and OFFSET values to
produce a CO concentration which is then
corrected for changes in sample pressure. If
interfering gases are introduced into the sample
chamber the spectrum of the IR beam is
changed in a way that is identical for both the
Reference and the Measurement cells but
without changing the ratio between the peak
heights. In this way, the GFC wheel eliminates
the effects of interfering gases so that the
analyzer responds only to the presence of CO.
6.6.2 CO2 Analyzer
6.6.2.1 Manufacturer: Rosemount Analytical Inc
6.6.2.2 Model: NDIR 880 or 880A
6.6.2.3 Measurement Principle: Non-dispersive Infrared
6.6.2.4 C02 Operating Range: 0-20%.
6.6.2.5 Theory of Operation
1) Infrared (IR) Radiation is produced in two
different paths. One beam is directed toward a
sample cell and the other beam is directed
toward a reference cell.
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 21
2) A chopper wheel alternately interrupts the
radiation passing through the sample and
reference cells.
3) The sample cell contains sample gas from the
stack.
4) The reference cell is sealed. Each IR beam
passes through its respective cell, in which the
CO2 in the sample gas absorbs a portion of the
IR radiation. The quantity of the radiation
absorbed is proportional to the concentration of
CO2.
5) A Luft detector converts the difference in energy
of the cells into a signal representative of the
concentration of CO2. The concentration value is
displayed on the front panel, the control room
console, strip chart recorder, and PDARS.
6.6.3 O2 Analyzer
6.6.3.1 Manufacturer: Ametek, Thermox Instrument Division
6.6.3.2 Model: Thermox FCA Micro-Control
6.6.3.3 Measurement Principle: Zirconium oxide electrochemical
cell
6.6.3.4 Operating Range: Adjustable from 0-1% to 0-100%. 02
analyzers will be operated in the 0-25% range.
6.6.3.5 Theory of Operation
The O2 analyzer uses a zirconium oxide (ZrO2)
ceramic sensing element to determine the
concentration of O2 in the stack gas. The CEMS
rack O2 system is made up of two major
components; the Detector and the Control Unit.
1) The Detector contains the following:
a. A furnace
b. Thermocouple
c. Cell housing
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 22
d. Oxygen cell
2) The furnace and thermocouple maintain the
environment for the oxygen cell. The oxygen
cell is a closed tube made up of zirconium oxide
and is coated with porous platinum on the inside
and outside of the cell. The cell operates at a
temperature of approximately 695 degrees C.
3) The cell measures the oxygen concentration by
comparing the oxygen pressure of the sample
side of the oxygen cell to the pressure on the
reference side of the cell.
4) Sample gas is drawn from the sample probe and
enters the Flowblock inlet. Most of the gas
passes through the Flowblock and out the
exhaust; however, some gas flows up into the
cell housing over the oxygen cell, through the
return loop into the Flowblock, and back out the
exhaust.
5) If the pressure of the gas on the sample side
differs from that of the reference side, a signal is
produced.
6) The internal circuitry in the CEMS quantifies the
signal generated by the oxygen cell and displays
it as percent oxygen on the front panel.
7) Control Unit
The control unit operates all functions of the O2
analyzer components. The control unit also
displays:
a. The current oxygen concentration reading
b. The current oxygen alarm status (only in the
event of an alarm)
c. The current cell temperature
d. The current error status (only in the event of
a system malfunction)

6.6.4 CO/O2 CEMS Sampling System
Theory of Operation
6.6.4.1 There are instances where O2, CO and CO2 analyzers
share a common sampling system.
6.6.4.2 The CEMS rack system draws stack emissions through
the stack probe assembly and transports it to the
CEMS rack system through a heat traced sample
transport tube bundle.
6.6.4.3 The gas sample is drawn through stage one of the
sample cooler/condenser, the first head of the sample
pump, under a vacuum, and exits the pump head
under positive pressure into the second stage of the
sample cooler; where:
1) The sample stream temperature is lowered to
ambient
2) Additional particulates are washed away
6.6.4.4 The sample then passes through the coalescing filter to
remove any fine liquid mist carryover from the sample
cooler.
6.6.4.5 The gas sample then passes through a sample pressure
regulator that regulates line pressure at 4-11 pounds
per square inch gauge (PSIG).
6.6.4.6 Then through the inner tube of the reflux permeation
dryer to further dry the sample stream.
6.6.4.7 The sample stream then splits into two streams, if both
O2 and CO are to be measured:
1) One stream flows through the O2 flow
indicator/controller and into the O2 analyzer.
2) The other stream flows through the CO flow
indicator/controller and into the CO analyzer.
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 24
6.6.4.8 The analyzer exhaust is drawn from the analyzers under
negative pressure by means of the second head of the
sample pump; the line is maintained at slight negative
to zero pressure by the reflux pressure regulator.
6.6.4.9 The gas then passes through the outer tube of the reflux
permeation dryer and into the second head of the
pump.
6.6.4.10 The gas sample is then exhausted under positive
pressure back to the source.
6.6.5 CERMS Sampling System
The CERMS consist of three components; the NOx analyzer,
the moisture analyzer, and the stack flow meter.
6.6.5.1 NOX Analyzer Manufacturer: Rosemount Analytical Inc.
1) Model: 951A
2) Measurement Principle: Chemiluminescent
Method.
3) Operating Range: 0-1000 ppm
4) Theory of Operation
When the analyzer is in the NO mode of
operation, sample NO is quantatively converted
into NO2 by gas phase oxidation with molecular
ozone supplied by an external cylinder. As a
result of this conversion process (reaction),
approximately 10% of the NO2 molecules are
elevated to an electronically excited state,
followed by their immediate reversion to a non-
excited state. As this change of energy state
occurs, it is accompanied by the emission of
photons of light. The photons impinge on a
photomultiplier detector, generating a low-level
direct current (DC). The current is amplified to
drive a front panel meter and sent to a panel
mounted strip chart recorder.
5) When the analyzer is in the NOx mode of
operation, the detection process is the same
except that, before entry into the reaction
chamber, the sample passes through a
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 25
converter where the NO2 component is
dissociated to form NO. Instrument response is
proportional to total NO in the converted sample,
that is, the sum of NO present in the original
sample plus the NO produced by dissociation of
NO2.
6) The Control Room readings and the PDAR
results for NOx must be in "pounds per hour".
The pounds per hour are calculated
automatically by using the input from a stack
flow meter and moisture analyzer. All of the
readings are sent electronically to the Control
Room where software performs the calculations
"real time." During certification, the complete
system is compared to a reference method
system provided by the Certification Contractor.
6.6.5.2 Moisture analyzer
1) Manufacturer: MAC Instruments
2) Model: MAC 120
3) Measurement Principle: IR Source/Pyroelectric
Detector
4) Operating Range: 0 to 100%
5) Theory of Operation (Analyzer is an In-Situ)
Stack gas is drawn through a probe, passed
across the moisture sensors, and then
exhausted back into the stack.
6.6.5.3 Stack Flow Meter
1) Model: Panametrics Model CEM68
2) Measurement Principle: Ultrasonic
3) Operating Range: 0.03 – 45 m/s (0.1 –
150ft/sec)
4) Theory of operation
The meter consists of two parts; a
measurement section including ultrasonic
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 26
transducers and holders, and the electronics
section necessary to operate the transducers
and process data.
5) The measurement section uses two ultrasonic
transducers to send ultrasonic pulses back and
forth across the diameter of the stack.
6) The electronic section measures the time
ultrasonic pulses take to travel the diameter of
the stack. Pulses travel faster in the direction of
the flow because the flow helps the pulse travel.
The upstream and downstream transit times are
compared. The difference is proportional to the
velocity of the flow in the stack. Corrections are
made to the measurement to compensate for
temperature and pressure that could affect the
speed of the pulse.
6.6.6 CEMS Rack
6.6.6.1 Sampling Equipment
6.6.6.2 Pre-Insulated Sample Tube Bundle - The sample tubing
bundle is electrically heated and contains several
Teflon lines used to transport sample, calibration,
exhaust gases and instrument air between the CEMS
rack and the source. The temperature of the sample
tube bundle is regulated by a controller located in the
rack for each CEMS system. The controller uses
thermocouple feedback to sense the temperature of
the bundle.
6.6.6.3 Stack Probe Assembly - The stack probe assemblies
used in the TOCDF program are made up of the
following components:
1) Probe
Ceramic or stainless probes are used for
sampling. Probes of either material are 1/2"
outside diameter (OD). The actual length of the
probe depends upon the diameter of the stack or
duct. The end of the probe is cut to a 45 degree
angle and is faced downstream to help avoid
collection of particulates.
2) Inertial Gas Sampling (IGS) Filter
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 27
The IGS filter is used for sampling of hot gases.
This filter is not usable for sampling wet gases.
The IGS filter is used to remove particulates
from the sample. As sample gas is extracted
through the ceramic probe a clean sample flow
develops radially through the porous tube wall at
a very low face velocity (0.005 fps), passing into
the housing annulus and out the sample tube.
3) Eductor - The purpose of the eductor is to create
a vacuum which draws the gases through the
probe then the IGS filter. The eductor is very
similar in operation to a venturi flow nozzle. The
eductor is driven by pressure regulated
instrument air. Once the instrument air passes
through the eductor, it is discharged back into
the stack.
4) Three-way Air Motor Actuated Valve
The three-way air motor actuated valve is a two-
position valve used to configure the stack probe
assembly into either "blowback" or "sample"
mode. When in blowback mode, the sample flow
path is isolated from the probe assembly.
Instrument air is used to back-flush the IGS filter
and the probe to clean it out. The valve motor
actuator is operated by instrument air supplied
via the sample transport tube bundle from the
CEMS rack. Instrument air used for the back
flush is supplied locally via the air regulator (not
from the sample transport line). This
configuration allows the sampling probe to be
operated remotely from the CEMS rack so the
operator does not have to go to the probe to
change modes (sample or blowback). The three-
way valve is normally aligned in the sample
mode (no instrument air applied). The valve is
switched to the blowback mode by applying
instrument air to the valve actuator. With this
configuration, a loss of instrument air will cause
the sample probe to remain in or return to the
sample position.
5) Calibration Gas Inlet - The calibration gas inlet
features a check valve (one-way valve) to
prevent sample gas from entering the calibration
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 28
gas line during normal sampling operations. The
inlet is attached to the sample line where it
connects to the probe. This configuration allows
calibration gases to flow through every part of
the sampling system except the probe assembly.
6.6.7 Cylinder Gas Calibration Equipment
6.6.7.1 Each CEMS rack has its own calibration system. With
this system, each analyzer's accuracy can be verified
at the zero and span response values against a known
reference. Calibration gas is controlled at the CEMS
rack and sent through the heated sample line bundle
into the sampling system at the Calibration Gas Inlet.
6.7 Certification, Audits, and Calibration
6.7.1 Certification
6.7.1.1 CEMS analyzers and associated equipment used in
compliance locations will be certified annually in
accordance with EG-37 (Continuous Emission
Monitoring System (CEMS) Certification Test
Protocol) using the applicable methods in CFR 40
Parts 60 App. B and/or 266 Appendix IX. An
independent contractor will be used to perform
reference method tests.
6.7.2 Audits
6.7.2.1 Quarterly
1) Quarterly Audits will be performed once each
calendar quarter using cylinder gas standards
2) Successive quarterly audits will not occur closer
than 60 days apart.
6.7.2.2 Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA)
The Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA) will be
performed quarterly for three of the four quarters in
each calendar year. It will be performed by
Monitoring personnel identified Section 5.2. EPA
Protocol 1 gases will be used.

6.7.2.3 Reference Method Audit (RMA)
A Reference Method Audit (RMA) will be performed
annually by an independent contractor in accordance
with EG-37 (Continuous Emission Monitoring System
(CEMS) Certification Test Protocol)
6.7.3 Calibration and Calibration Drift Checks
Analyzers will be checked for calibration drift daily by
introducing zero and span concentrations of calibration gas to
the analyzer. The drift will be calculated by comparing the
analytical results from the analyzer to the target concentration
value of the gas. Drift tolerances are defined in Section 6.9.8,
Control Limits and Actions.
At least once per week all analyzers will be calibrated
regardless of drift.
6.8 Data Recording
6.8.1 Daily Calibration Check
6.8.1.1 When each daily calibration or calibration drift check is
performed, the readings are recorded in three
locations:
1) PDARS
The PDARS computer in the Control Room
records all CEMS readings. By changing a
switch position at the CEMS instrument before
the calibration, the computer will differentiate
between calibration data and process data. The
PDARS software allows compilation of
calibration data in electronic and hard copy
reports.
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 30
2) Strip Chart Recorder
CEMS readings are recorded as chart
deflections on a paper chart recorder. After the
daily calibration is performed, the operator marks
the chart with at least the following information:
a. Date
b. Time
c. Operator name or identification number
d. Readings generated by the calibration , drift
check. C1
e. Reading after calibration adjustment
3) CEMS Rack Logbook
The above calibration information is also entered
in the instrument logbook.
6.8.2 Process Data Acquisition and Recording System (PDARS)
6.8.2.1 The Process Data Acquisition and Recording System
(PDARS) is a computerized data recording system
which receives its data through Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs). The data is stored on disc and/or
hard copy. All of the operating CEMS are connected
to the PDARS.
6.8.2.2 Each gas analyzer is equipped with a switch marked
"“Calibration" and "Operate". ” “ON”, “OFF”.C1 The
switch allows the PDARS computer to differentiate
between process data and calibration data.
6.8.3 CEMS Certification Data
Certification of the CEMS is performed by an independent
contractor. The certification contractor will:
6.8.3.1 Comply with EG-033, CEM Certification Quality
Assurance Program Plan and EG-037, Continuous
Emission Monitoring System Certification Test
Protocol.
6.8.3.2 Provide a report documenting all data generated from
the performance specification tests required for
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 31
certification. The report will also include an
explanation of the test parameters, calculations, and
results of all testing.
6.8.4 CEMS Data during Operations
6.8.4.1 The analytical results from CEMS instruments are
collected on duplicate systems. Each CEMS analyzer
is connected to a chart recorder and a link to the
PDARS for data recording. The PDARS records all
CEMS readings.
6.8.4.2 CEMS Instrument Log
A permanently bound log book with consecutively
numbered pages will be located in the proximity of
each CEMS instrument. The log will contain a
running history of the instrument and actions taken
on any equipment in the rack; including actions by
Monitoring and QC personnel. Each entry will
include the date, time, a description of actions taken
or miscellaneous annotations, and the signature of
the person making the entry.
6.8.5 CEMS Data Archiving
CEMS data is stored in two formats, hard copy and computer
software disc.
6.8.5.1 Hard Copy
CEMS data hardcopy (logbooks, forms, chart
recorder charts, etc.) are maintained by Monitoring
personnel for a minimum of one month. The data
are then turned over to the TOCDF Document
Control Center (DCC) where they are stored until
placed in permanent archives.
6.8.5.2 Computer Software Copy
CEMS data collected by PDARS are kept on disc.
The data disc is maintained by the PDARS Engineer
for 45 days. The discs are then sent to the DCC
where they are stored until placed in permanent
archives.

6.9 Quality Assurance
6.9.1 Independent Audits
6.9.1.1 Each year, the annual Reference Method Technical Audit
will be performed by an outside contractor. An outside
contractor is used to lend validity to the accuracy and
reliability of the CEMS. The requirements the
contractor must comply with are specified in the
contract Statement of Work (SOW).
6.9.1.2 Non-scheduled audits will be performed by the
Laboratory Quality Control Inspectors who have
successfully completed the CEMS course of study at
the CDTF.
6.9.2 National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
Traceability
The measurement accuracy for the standards used to calibrate
the CEMS and the M&TE is traceable to the NIST. The accuracy
certificate for the CEMS calibration gases is maintained on file
and made a part of certification and calibration records. Protocol
1 gases will be used for both calibration and cylinder gas
C1audits.
6.9.3 Quality Control Calculations
6.9.3.1 The calculations used to evaluate calibration drift are
performed each day per the following equation:
1) TC-FC = CD
2) TC – Target Concentration
3) FC – Found Concentration
4) Calibration Drift must not exceed the control
limits specified in Section 6.9.8.
6.9.4 Operational Procedures
Laboratory Operating Procedures (LOPs) are posted in the
MSB. At least once per year, the CEMS operators will read
the LOPs and sign a statement that they understand the
LOPs, including detailed procedures for operation, preventive
maintenance, and calibration of the CEMS. All LOPs require
approval by the TOCDF Project Manager. Before approval,
they must be validated. The validation consists of performing
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 33
all of the steps in the LOP with operational equipment, while
being witnessed by a QC Monitoring Inspector, and a
Government Technical Representative.
6.9.5 Quality Control
6.9.5.1 Type/Frequency of Quality Checks
1) Review Certificates of Compliance for cylinder
gas standards used for CEMS certification,
calibration, and audits to ensure they are NIST
traceable and meet EPA protocol requirements.
2) Periodic procedure, instrument and logbook
surveillances.
3) Random audits of CEMS instruments at the
discretion of the Laboratory QC Manager to
validate the accuracy of calibrations and
calibration drift checks.
4) Periodic review of quarterly CEMS audit
documentation.
5) CEMS Operator Certification Packages and
training records of the personnel who perform
CEMS operations stated in Section 5.2, Duties
and Qualifications.
6.9.6 Preventive Maintenance Program
6.9.6.1 The PM Program is administered by the CEMS Specialist
who performs the major part of the "hands-on" PM.
Other qualified Monitoring personnel may also perform
the PM.
6.9.6.2 The major part of the Preventive Maintenance Program
consists of documenting diagnosticoperationalC1
readings or measurements from gauges, meters etc.
that indicate proper operation of the CEMS.
6.9.6.3 Other PM may include the periodic replacement of
consumable parts to prevent failure of a system.
6.9.7 Instrument Calibration
6.9.7.1 M&TE used in support of certification, technical audits,
CEMS calibrations, and preventive maintenance is
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 34
calibrated using standards that are traceable to the
NIST.
6.9.7.2 Any M&TE used to support annual certification by the
sub-contractor shall be calibrated and the certificate
included in the CEMS certification or audit data
package.
6.9.7.3 M&TE that is used by the Monitoring personnel may be
calibrated either onsite or off site.
1) Standards used to perform onsite calibrations
shall be NIST traceable and a copy of the
calibration certificate demonstrating NIST
traceability shall be kept on file at TOCDF.
2) Equipment that is calibrated offsite shall have a
certificate demonstrating NIST traceability that
must also be kept on file at TOCDF.
6.9.8 Control Limits and Actions
6.9.8.1 The control limits and actions stated here relate to daily
operations of the CEMS. These limits and actions do
not apply to CEMS certification. Certification of CEMS
is described in the TOCDF CEMS Quality Assurance
Program (EG-033) and the CEMS Certification Test
Protocol (EG-037).
6.9.8.2 Calibration Drift (CD) is evaluated daily to determine if it
is excessive. The following describes control limits and
actions required to correct excessive drift:
1) O2
a. The CD for the O2 analyzer is determined to
be excessive if the Zero or Span reading
differs from the reference value by more than
0.5% O2. If the CD is excessive the analyzer
must be recalibrated.
b. If, on any given check the CD exceeds 1%
O2 the analyzer is considered “out of control”
and a successful ACA must be performed to
verify the analyzer is “in control” before it
can be used for compliance monitoring.
CDRL 06 CEMS MONITORING PLAN
CEMS Monitoring Plan
CDRL 06 Rev 7 Chg. 0, 07 April 051, XX-XXX-XX
Page 35
2) CO
a. The CD for the CO analyzer is determined to
be excessive if the Zero or Span reading
differs from the reference value by more than
six ppm for the low range (0-200 ppm). Or
the Zero or Span reading differs more than
150 ppm from the reference value at the high
range (0-5000). If the CD is excessive the
analyzer must be recalibrated.
b. If, on any given check the CD exceeds two
times the limits the analyzer is considered
“out of control” and a successful ACA must
be performed to verify the analyzer is “in
control” before it can be used for compliance
monitoring.
3) CO2
The CD for the CO2 CEMS is determined to be
excessive if the zero or span reading differs from
the reference value by more than 0.5% CO2. If
the CD is excessive the analyzer must be
recalibrated.
4) NOx
a. The CD for the NOx CEMS is determined to
be excessive if the zero or span reading
differs from the reference value by 25 ppm. If
the CD is excessive the analyzer must be
recalibrated. The CD is determined to be ‘out
of control’ if the zero or span reading differs
from the reference value by more than 100
ppm in “one time” or 50 ppm for "five
consecutive days".
b. If the daily drift check indicates that the NOx
is ‘out of control’, the following steps will be
taken:
i. Identify and correct the cause for the
excessive drift
ii. Evaluate if any corrective action is
necessary to prevent future occurrences
of the same type of problem.

iii. The occurrence of the excessive drift
shall be included in the quarterly technical
audit report to the State Division of Air
Quality.
6.10 Data Validation and Reporting
6.10.1 Calibration Drift Data
Calibration drift data is validated by the individual performing
the calibration drift check. The CEMS Specialist shall screen
data to observe for trouble spots. The QC Monitoring
Inspector observes CD tests on a spot check basis.
6.10.2 Data Validation
Data entered on the Daily CEMS Calibration Sheets, PDARS
and the CEMS logbooks are all reviewed by the CEMS
Specialist on an on-going basis to determine accuracy and
consistency. All errors or irregularities are corrected with an
annotation indicating the circumstance.
6.10.3 Missing Data
6.10.3.1 Because of redundant data collection methods for
CEMS data, it is highly unlikely that there will be any
missing data.
6.10.3.2 Should there be missing data, the Environmental
Manager shall be notified immediately. If necessary
the Control Room Operators will be notified
immediately to allow them to take appropriate actions
relative to plant operations.
6.10.3.3 The cause for the missing data will be determined and
the following accomplished:
1) Replication of the missing data if possible.
2) Documentation that data was lost to provide an
accurate audit trail.
3) Corrective action taken to prevent a future
reoccurrence of missing data.
6.10.3.4 All of the above will be included in the CEMS quarterly
report.
