§ 690-417. Emissions monitoring and control
(b) Determination of baseline emission values.--When any diesel-powered equipment first enters service at a mine, baseline emission values shall be determined by a qualified mechanic. Unless the technical advisory committee in accordance with section 4241 recommends an alternate procedure, the qualified mechanic shall:
(13) Start the exhaust gas analyzer and allow the engine to operate in the loaded condition for a sufficient length of time not less than a 90-second duration to insure proper CO readings. The qualified mechanic shall record both CO and CO2 readings. Note: Baseline CO values shall be determined by the technical advisory committee based upon MSHA lug curve readings for that engine model and horsepower. If the baseline CO values are greater than the MSHA lug curve values, the technical advisory committee shall investigate and either recommend approval or disapproval or recommend alternate methods of meeting the requirements of this section.
(14) Comply with recordkeeping requirements pursuant to section 414.2
