Recordkeeping

Under 30 TAC Section 106.8, your records must identify the rules under which your facility is operating and demonstrate compliance. Be sure you keep at least these records:

  • a copy of Section 106.4
  • a copy of Section 106.533
  • The following minimum records of sampling or monitoring must be maintained:
      • sample time and date;
      monitoring results (ppmv);
      corrective action taken, including the time and date of the action;
      process operations occurring at the time of sampling;
      records of compliance with the emission rate limits of this section;
      a record of the demonstration that the chosen control method is an appropriate choice for the site; and
      a record of the return receipt demonstrating notification to the appropriate regional office, local air pollution control programs having jurisdiction over the site, and appropriate remediation program.

These records must be kept on site and readily available on request for inspection by the TCEQ or any air pollution control program that has jurisdiction. If you have questions about the type of records you should keep, contact the Air Program in the TCEQ regional office for the region in which the site is located.
