(A) No person shall operate or cause to be operated any process, fuel burning, refuse burning, or control equipment or any equipment pertaining thereto for which an installation permit was required or was issued under this subchapter until an inspection has been made by the Director. The person responsible for the installation, construction, or alteration of any process, fuel burning, or control equipment for which an installation permit is required shall notify the Director when the work is completed and ready for final inspection.
(B) On all new or modified processes, fuel burning, refuse burning, or control equipment or any equipment pertaining thereto, stack emission tests must be made within 60 days of start-up time and results of the tests must be submitted to the Department. If results of the tests indicate a failure to comply within the limitations and requirements of this chapter, it shall constitute sufficient grounds for the Director to order changes in the process, fuel burning, refuse burning, or control equipment or appurtenances, before an initial certificate of operation can be granted. When the Director refuses to issue a certificate of operation, he or she is authorized to seal the process, fuel burning, refuse burning, or control equipment until the person required to procure the certificate of operation has complied with the provisions of this chapter.
(C) (1) Waiver of stack emission tests, as outlined in division (B) above, may be granted by the Director when written evidence is presented that indicates to him or her that the tests are not necessary because of the nature of the process.
(2) Delay of stack emission tests, as outlined in division (B) above, may be granted by the Director when written evidence is presented to him or her that the processes are not in effective operation. If granted, the delay shall not exceed 120 days.
(D) After the installation permit has been issued and it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director, that the process, fuel burning, refuse burning, or control equipment can be operated in compliance with this chapter, an initial certificate of operation shall be issued by the Director. The certificate of operation shall be kept posted on or near the installation for which it was issued. The certificate of operation shall properly identify the equipment to which it pertains and shall specify the class of fuel, type of refuse, type of raw materials used, if any, which have been successfully used in the stack emission or operating tests.
(E) No equipment shall be operated for any other purpose or in any other manner than that for which the installation permit was approved and for which a certificate of operation has been issued unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Director.
(F) A certificate of operation shall remain in force until terminated by any one or more of the following provisions of this chapter:
