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 Method 1, Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary
Sources
EPA Method 1 is used to assure that representative measurements of volumetric flow rate
are obtained by dividing the cross-section of the stack or duct into equal areas, and then
locating a traverse point within each of the equal areas. Acceptable sample locations must
be located at least two stack or duct equivalent diameters downstream from a flow
disturbance and one-half equivalent diameter upstream from a flow disturbance.
3.1.2 EPA Method 2, Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and
Volumetric Flow Rate (Type S Pitot Tube)
EPA Method 2 is used to measure the gas velocity using an S-type pitot tube connected to a
pressure measurement device, and to measure the gas temperature using a calibrated
thermocouple connected to a thermocouple indicator. Typically, Type S (Stausscheibe) pitot
tubes conforming to the geometric specifications in the test method are used, along with an
inclined manometer. The measurements are made at traverse points specified by EPA
Method 1. The molecular weight of the gas stream is determined from independent
measurements of O2, CO2, and moisture. The stack gas volumetric flow rate is calculated
using the measured average velocity head, the area of the duct at the measurement plane,
the measured average temperature, the measured duct static pressure, the molecular
weight of the gas stream, and the measured moisture.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
Method Options:
o S-type pitot tube coefficient is 0.84.
o Shortridge multimeter is used to measure velocity.
o Flow rate measurements are performed as part of the pollutant
sample trains.
o A dry molecular weight of 29.0 lb/lb-mol is utilized in flow rate
calculations for processes that emit essentially air.
The typical sampling system is detailed as part of the EPA Methods 5 and 202 sampling train
in Figure 3-1.

Morton Salt Inc. Salt Processing Plant, Four (4) Sources for PM10 and VEs Testing
2025 Compliance Source Test Plan, Grantsville, UT
3.1.3 EPA Methods 3/3A – Gas Analysis for the Determination of
Dry Molecular Weight
Procedures found in EPA Methods 3 and 3A are used to measure the oxygen (O2) and
carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the gas stream. These values are used in the
determination of the dry molecular weight of the stack gas. The balance of the stack gas is
assumed to be nitrogen (N2) for this calculation, since the other components in the gas are
insignificant for the determination of dry molecular weight (e.g., carbon monoxide). The
molecular weight is used, along with the values obtained from the EPA Methods 2 and 4
(EPA Methods 5 and 202) testing, to calculate the gas volumetric flow rate through the test
location.
An integrated gas sample (IGS) is collected into a Tedlar bag from the back of the EPA
Methods 5 and 202 sample train for the duration of each test run. Analysis of the IGS bag
contents for the determination of O2 and CO2 is performed using a calibrated paramagnetic
O2 gas analyzer and an infrared CO2 analyzer. The analyzers are calibrated using EPA
Protocol 1 calibration gases.
3.1.4 EPA Method 4, Determination of Moisture Content in Stack
Gas
EPA Method 4 is used to measure the moisture content of gas streams. Gas is sampled
through a probe and impinger train. Moisture is removed using a series of pre-weighed
impingers containing methodology-specific liquids and silica gel immersed in an ice water
bath. The impingers are weighed after each run to determine the percent moisture.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
o Condensed water is measured gravimetrically.
o Moisture sampling is performed as part of the pollutant (EPA Methods
5 and 202) sample trains. In these cases, gas is sampled at an
isokinetic rate, not constant.
o Since it is theoretically impossible for measured moisture to be higher
than psychrometric moisture, the psychrometric moisture is also
calculated, and the lower moisture value is used in the calculations--
this is anticipated to be the case for all three exhaust sampling
locations.

Morton Salt Inc. Salt Processing Plant, Four (4) Sources for PM10 and VEs Testing
2025 Compliance Source Test Plan, Grantsville, UT
o Method Options:
o EPA Approved Alternative Method 009 (ALT-009) is used as an
alternative to a two-point post-test meter box calibration. This
procedure uses a calculation to check the meter box calibration
factor rather than requiring a physical post-test meter box
calibration using a standard dry gas meter. The average calculated
meter box percent (%) error must result in a percent error within
±5% of Y. If not, a full calibration is performed, and the results are
presented using the Y factor that yields the highest emissions.
o EPA Approved Alternative Method 011 (ALT-011) is used as an
alternative to the EPA Method 2 two-point thermocouple
calibration. This procedure involves a single-point in-field check
using a reference thermometer to confirm that the thermocouple
system is operating properly. The temperatures of the
thermocouple and reference thermometers shall agree to within ±2
°F.
The typical sampling system is detailed as part of the EPA Methods 5 and 202
sampling train in Figure 3-1.
3.1.5 EPA Methods 5 and 202, Determination of Particulate Matter
Emissions from Stationary Sources and Dry Impinger Method
for Determining Condensable Particulate Emissions from
Stationary Sources
EPA Methods 5 and 202 are manual, isokinetic methods used to measure FPM and CPM
emissions. FPM is withdrawn isokinetically from the source and collected on a glass fiber
filter maintained at a temperature of 120 ± 14 °C (248 ± 25 °F) or such other temperature
as specified by an applicable subpart of the standards or approved by the Administrator for
a particular application. The FPM mass, which includes any material that condenses at or
above the filtration temperature, is determined gravimetrically after the removal of
uncombined water.
CPM is collected in dry impingers after filterable PM has been collected on a filter maintained
as specified in Method 5. The organic and 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.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
Method Options:
o Glass sample nozzles and probe liners are used.
o Stainless steel sample nozzles and glass probe liners are used.
o As an alternative to baking glassware, a field train proof blank sample
is recovered.

Morton Salt Inc. Salt Processing Plant, Four (4) Sources for PM10 and VEs Testing
2025 Compliance Source Test Plan, Grantsville, UT
o The post-test nitrogen purge is performed using the sampling system
meter box and vacuum pump.
o The post-test nitrogen purge is performed by passing nitrogen
through the train under pressure.
Method Exceptions:
o Stainless steel probe liners are used.
o A heated flexible probe extension is used to connect the sample probe
to the impinger box.
o Single-point isokinetic sampling is performed at this stack due to
space restrictions.
o The sum of the filterable PM (via Method 5) and CPM (via Method
202) are used as a surrogate for PM10 and/or for PM2.5.

3.1.6 EPA Method 9, Visual Determination of the Opacity of
Emissions
EPA Method 9 is used to observe the visual opacity of emissions (opacity). The observer
stands at a distance sufficient to provide a clear view of the emissions with the sun oriented
in the 140° sector to their back. The line of vision is perpendicular to the plume direction
and does not include more than one plume diameter. Observations are recorded at 15-
second intervals and are made to the nearest 5% opacity. The qualified observer is certified
according to the requirements of EPA Method 9, section 3.1.
Pertinent information regarding the performance of the method is presented below:
o Observations are attempted to be made 30 minutes before, during, or
within 30 minutes after each concurrent particulate run, unless weather
conditions are unfavorable.

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.

2025 Compliance Source Test Plan, Grantsville, UT
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 or appropriate regulatory agency (upon customer approval) within

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:
