2) If the test is passed, the new maximum allowable production rate shall be
110% of the tested achieved rate, but not more than the maximum allowable
production rate. This new allowable maximum production rate shall remain in
effect until successfully tested at a higher rate.
3) The owner/operator shall request a higher production rate when necessary.
Testing at no less than 90% of the higher rate shall be conducted. A new
maximum production rate (110% of the new rate) will then be allowed if the
test is successful. This process may be repeated until the maximum AO
production rate is achieved.
