a Regulatory citations are listed in brackets.b Monitor may be installed in the firebox or in the ductwork immediately downstream of the firebox before any substantial heat exchange is encountered.c “Continuous records” is defined in § 63.111 of this subpart.d NCS = Notification of Compliance Status described in § 63.152 of this subpart.e The daily average is the average of all recorded parameter values for the operating day. If all recorded values during an operating day are within the range established in the NCS or operating permit, a statement to this effect can be recorded instead of the daily average.f The periodic reports shall include the duration of periods when monitoring data are not collected for each excursion as defined in § 63.152(c)(2)(ii)(A) of this subpart.g PR = Periodic Reports described in § 63.152 of this subpart.h Alternatively, these devices may comply with the organic monitoring device provisions listed at the end of this table under “All Recovery Devices.”
