(a) The Commissioner may require any persons responsible for emission of air contaminants to make or have made tests to determine the emission of air contaminants from any source whenever the Commissioner has reason to believe that an emission in excess of that allowed by these regulations is occurring or has occurred from time to time. All tests shall be conducted by qualified persons and the results calculated in accordance with test procedures approved by the Commissioner. The owner or his authorized agent shall notify the Commissioner in writing of the time, place and person who will conduct the tests and the Commissioner or his representative shall be permitted to witness the tests. The Commissioner shall be furnished with a written report of test results no later than thirty days after completion of the tests and such report shall be signed by the person or persons responsible for the tests. The Commissioner may reject the results of any compliance test which is not performed in accordance with approved test procedures or which is performed without the advance notice and information required by this subsection.
(b) The Commissioner may conduct tests of emissions of air contaminants from any source. Upon request of the Commissioner, the person responsible for the source to be tested shall provide necessary holes in stacks or ducts and such other safe and proper sampling and testing facilities, exclusive of instruments and sensing devices as may be necessary for proper determination of the emission of air contaminants.
(c) The Commissioner may install, or require the owner or operator of any source of air contamination, at his expense, to install, use and maintain monitoring equipment, and to sample his emissions in accordance with methods approved by the Commissioner.
