MATS Reference Method Test Data Reporting Instructions

    INTRODUCTION

 These instructions reflect the reference method test data reporting requirements in Sections 17 through 30 of Appendix E in the [Insert Publication Date of Final Rule] revisions to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) regulation (40 CFR 63, Subpart UUUUU). The new XML reporting requirements apply to:

 Quarterly, annual and three-year performance stack tests;

 RATAs performed on Hg, HCl, HF, and SO2 CEMS and sorbent trap systems; and

 PS-11 correlation tests, RCAs and RRAs of PM CEMS.

 For each performance stack test, both the reference method data and the summarized test results in the quarterly MATS Compliance Reports must be submitted within 60 days after the end of the quarter in which the test is performed.  For each continuous monitoring system (CMS) certification and QA test described above, the reference method data must be submitted together with the test results summarized in ECMPS.

 The reference method test data XML schema is made up of complex elements that are related to each other in a parent-child relationship. A complex element is a group of data elements which are logically grouped together. The complex "root" element, i.e., the MATS FACILITY AND TESTING COMPANY INFORMATION record, is the parent element of the entire schema. The other complex elements, representing Run-level Laboratory data, and Point-level data, are children of the root element. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between the root element and the other complex elements.  The Point-level data must be linked to the Run-level data by the Source ID (sampling location), Run Number, and Run Begin Date.  These are key elements that will help order the data.

This document provides instructions on how the required data are reported using this data structure.  A separate section is provided for each complex element.  The XML schema can be created either by: (1) entering the data into the ERT and creating a submission package; (2) using the XML schema that was posted in the docket; or (3) other equivalent means.   The XML tags provided in this document must be used in the schema.

Description of Data

This complex element identifies the unit or stack for which the test data are being reported. In addition, it provides information about the source ID, the test location, and control devices.  If you are reporting tests for more than one unit or stack, the data elements in this section must be reported for each Source ID.  The Source ID (18.1) will be used in subsequent sections of these Instructions to link each test to the unit or stack at which it was performed.  This link is essential for the ordering of the data.

Use the following instructions to report each SOURCE INFORMATION record.
For the first Source ID in the XML file, enter this opening tag: < tblLocation >.   Then,
insert each data element between the opening XML tag < > and the closing XML tag        <  />, as described below:

Source ID (Sampling Location)
 <Location> ID of the unit or stack </Location>

Report the ID of the unit or stack at which the test was done. If that unit or stack ID is found in ECMPS in an electronic monitoring plan, report the ID exactly as it appears in the monitoring plan (e.g., 2, CS001, MS3A).  If the unit or stack at which the test was done is not identified in an electronic monitoring plan in ECMPS, report the ID assigned to the unit or stack by the facility.  This is a key data element that must appear in every level of the XML schema.

For each performance stack test, the unit or stack ID reported in this field must exactly match the "Test Location ID" in the quarterly MATS Compliance Report.

For each RATA, RRA, RCA, or PM CEMS correlation test, the unit or stack ID reported in this field must exactly match the unit or stack ID in the summarized test results reported to ECMPS under Appendix A, B, or C to Subpart UUUUU or 40 CFR Part 75 (as applicable).

For each separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test (see Footnote 1 on p. 4, above):

 If the test is conducted to support a performance stack test, the unit or stack ID reported in this field must exactly match the "Test Location ID" reported for that performance stack test in the quarterly MATS Compliance Report;

 If the test is conducted to support a CMS performance evaluation, the unit or stack ID reported in this field must exactly match the unit or stack ID in the summarized CMS test results submitted to ECMPS.

Stack (duct) Diameter (circular stack)
<DuctDiam> Stack Diameter </DuctDiam>

If the test location is a circular stack or duct, report the inside diameter of the stack or duct, in inches, to at least one decimal place.

Equivalent Diameter (rectangular duct or stack)
<EquivDiam> Equivalent Diameter </EquivDiam>

If the test location is a rectangular duct or stack, calculate the equivalent diameter of the duct or stack using Equation 1-1 in Section 12.2 of Method 1 and report the result in this field.  Report the equivalent diameter in inches, to at least one decimal place.

Area of Stack
 <As> Stack Area </As>
Report the cross-sectional area of the stack or duct at the test location in ft2, to the number of decimal places consistent with the stack diameter or duct dimension measurements.

Control Device Code
<ControlCode> Emissions control device code or control technology code </ControlCode>

Refer to Table A-3 in the Appendix to these Instructions.  Report each emissions control device code or control technology code associated with the EGU (or group of EGUs sharing a common stack).  If a particular type of emissions control is not shown in the Table, identify it in the Test Comment field in Section 2.0 of these Instructions.

Control Device Description
<APCDName> Control Device Description </APCDName>

Refer to Table A-3 in the Appendix to these Instructions.  Report the description of each emissions control device or control technology associated with the EGU (or group of EGUs sharing a common stack), as it appears in the right-hand column of Table A-3.  If a particular type of emissions control is not shown in the Table, identify it in the Test Comment field.

This is the end of the information for the first Source ID.  To complete the XML schema for this test location, add the following closing tag:  </tblLocation>.  To enter additional Source IDs, repeat the sequence above for each one, beginning with the opening tag <tblLocation> and ending with the closing tag </tblLocation>.

 "Corresponding" measurements of the stack gas flow rate and/or CO2 or O2 concentration and/or stack gas moisture content must be made concurrently with each pollutant reference method test run when:

         The stack gas flow rate (Q) and possibly the moisture content is needed to convert the pollutant concentrations measured in a performance stack test to units of an electrical output-based MATS standard (lb/MWh or lb/GWh);

         The CO2 or O2 concentration, and possibly the moisture content of the stack gas is needed to convert the pollutant concentrations measured in a performance stack test to units of a heat input-based MATS standard (lb/mmBtu or lb/TBtu);

         The CO2 and O2 concentrations of the stack gas are needed to calculate the stack gas molecular weight.

         The moisture content of the stack gas is needed for stack gas molecular weight determinations;

         The moisture content of the stack gas is needed for the RATA of a CMS when the reference method and CMS do not measure on the same moisture basis (wet or dry).

In some cases, data from the pollutant reference method can be used to determine Q and the stack gas moisture content, instead of making separate Method 2 or Method 4 test runs. When isokinetic Method 5, 5B, 5D, 26A, or 29 is used, the stack gas moisture content can be determined using the water collected in the impingers and silica gel together with the metered dry gas volume.  The pitot tube (ΔP) readings, together with other point-level data collected during the test run and the stack cross-sectional area can be used to determine Q.

(Note: Method 5, 5B, 5D, 26A, and 29 test runs do not include measurement of CO2 and O2 concentration; therefore, in all cases where CO2 or O2 concentration is needed, a separate Method 3A, 3B or ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 test run must be performed).

For each Method 5, 5D, 26A, or 29 performance stack test, if any separate, corresponding reference method tests using Method 2, 3A, or 4 are done concurrently for a reason (or reasons) stated in the five bulleted items above, report the corresponding reference method(s) used, from the list in Table 3.

Corresponding Reference Method Run Numbers, if applicable
Ordinarily, the pollutant reference method test runs test runs and the test runs for any separate reference methods performed concurrently with the pollutant RM runs will be numbered identically.   For instance, if the three runs of a Method 5 stack test are numbered 1, 2, and 3, and a separate Method 3A determination is made during each Method 5 run, the Method 3A runs will generally be numbered 1, 2, and 3, for consistency.

However, in rare cases, the run numbers assigned to the pollutant method test runs and auxiliary test runs may not match, e.g., if three Method 5 test runs are numbered 1, 2, and 3 and the corresponding Method 3A runs are numbered 4, 5, and 6.

Report the Run number of the separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test that corresponds to the Method 5, 5B, 5D, 26A, or 29 performance stack test run.  Use the assigned XML tag in Table 4 to report the Run number.

Description of Data

If you use non-isokinetic Method 26, either to perform periodic HCl and/or HF performance stack tests, or to perform RATAs of HCl and/or HF CEMS, report a RUN-LEVEL DATA record containing the information in Figure 7 for each test run.

Use the following instructions for completing each element of the RUN-LEVEL DATA record.   Insert each data element between the opening XML tag < > and the closing XML tag </ >):

Source ID (Location)
 <Location> ID of the unit or stack </Location>

The Source ID reported in this field must exactly match the Source ID reported in the SOURCE INFORMATION DATA Section (data element in Section 3.0, above).

Test Number
 <TestNumber> Test Number </TestNumber>

The facility must assign a unique Test Number to each performance stack test or CMS performance evaluation in which Method 26 is used.

For performance stack tests, this number must exactly match the Test Number in the PERFORMANCE TEST SUMMARY DATA record of the relevant quarterly MATS Compliance Report.

For RATAs of HCl and HF monitoring systems, this number must exactly match the test number assigned to the summarized electronic test results reported to ECMPS under Appendix B of MATS.

If a separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test (see footnote 1 on p.4, above) is performed to correspond with a Method 26 pollutant reference method test, follow the applicable instructions for reporting Test Numbers in Sections 11.0 through 15.0 of this document.

Pollutant Name
 <POLLName> Pollutant Name </POLLName>

From Table 1, above, report "Hydrogen Chloride" or "Hydrogen Fluoride", as applicable.

Test Method
 <Method> Test Method </Method>

From Table 2, above, report "Method 26".

Run Number
 <RunNumber> Run Numbe r</RunNumber>

A unique run number must be assigned to each test run. Run numbers are integers, beginning with "l ", which indicate the sequence order for the runs performed as part of the test.

 For a performance stack test, a minimum of three test runs are required.

     For a RATA, at least 9 valid runs are required.

For performance stack tests, the run numbers reported in this field must match the run numbers in the PERFORMANCE TEST RUN DATA records of the quarterly MATS Compliance Report.  For RATAs, the run numbers reported in this field must match the run numbers in the applicable Run Data XML Model in ECMPS.

Corresponding Reference Method
<TestMethod> Corresponding Reference Method </TestMethod>

"Corresponding" measurements of the stack gas flow rate (Method 1-4) and/or CO2 or O2 concentration (Method 3A) and/or stack gas moisture content (Method 1-4) must be made concurrently with each Method 26 test run when:

         The stack gas flow rate (Q) and possibly the moisture content is needed to convert the pollutant concentrations measured by Method 26 in a performance stack test to units of an output-based MATS standard (lb/MWh);

         The CO2 or O2 concentration, and possibly the moisture content of the stack gas is needed to convert the pollutant concentrations measured by Method 26 in a performance stack test to units of a heat input-based MATS standard (lb/mmBtu ); or

         The moisture content of the stack gas is needed for the RATA of a HCl or HF CEMS when the reference method and CEMS do not measure on the same moisture basis (wet or dry).

For each performance stack test or RATA conducted using Method 26, if any separate, corresponding reference method tests using Method 2, 3A, or 4 are done concurrently for any of the three reasons cited above, report the corresponding reference method(s) used, from the list in Table 3, above.

Corresponding Reference Method Run Number
Ordinarily, the pollutant reference method test runs test runs and the test runs for any corresponding reference methods performed concurrently with the pollutant RM runs will be numbered identically.   For instance, if the three runs of a Method 26 stack test are numbered 1, 2, and 3, and a separate Method 3A determination is made during each Method 26 run, the Method 3A runs will generally be numbered 1, 2, and 3, for consistency.

However, in rare cases, the run numbers assigned to the pollutant method test runs and auxiliary test runs may not match, e.g., if three Method 5 test runs are numbered 1, 2, and 3 and the corresponding Method 3A runs are numbered 4, 5, and 6.

Report the Run Number of the separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test that corresponds to the Method 26 performance stack test run or RATA run (as applicable).  Use the assigned XML tag in Table 4, above, to report the Run Number.

Run End Time (Clock End Time)
 <Clock> Run End Time </Clock>

Report the clock time (HH:MM) at the end of run, where HH ranges from 00 to 23. Do not adjust for daylight savings time.

Barometric Pressure
 <PbHDR> Barometric Pressure </PbHDR>

Report the barometric pressure at the sampling location, in inches of mercury. Information obtained from weather services must be adjusted for the differences in pressure due to elevation.

Cumulative Elapsed Sampling Time
 <EndTime> Cumulative Elapsed Sampling Time </EndTime>

Report the total cumulative sampling time for the run, in minutes. Take the difference between the run begin and end times, and subtract out any time taken for port changes, leak checks, etc.

Calibration Coefficient of Dry Gas Meter (Y)
<YHDR> Dry Gas Meter Coefficient </YHDR>

Report the dimensionless dry gas meter calibration coefficient ("Y").

Initial Reading of Dry Gas Meter Volume
 <InitDGM> Dry Gas Meter Initial Volume <InitDGM>

Description of Data

Report a RUN-LEVEL DATA record that includes the data elements in Figure 9 for each Method 30B test run, if:

 You perform quarterly Hg performance stack tests of an oil-fired EGU;

 You perform 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day LEE tests to measure Hg concentrations; or

 You perform annual RATAs of Hg CEMS or sorbent trap monitoring systems.

Use the following instructions for completing each element of the RUN-LEVEL DATA record.   Insert each data element between the opening XML tag < > and the closing XML tag </ >):

Source ID (Location)
<Location> ID of the unit or stack </Location>

The Source ID reported in this field must exactly match the Source ID reported in the SOURCE INFORMATION DATA Section (data element 18.1 in Section 3.0, above).

Test Number
 <TestNumber> Test Number </TestNumber>

The facility must assign a unique Test Number to each performance stack test or CMS performance evaluation in which Method 30B is used.

For quarterly stack tests and 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day LEE tests, this number must exactly match the Test Number in the PERFORMANCE TEST SUMMARY DATA record of the relevant quarterly MATS Compliance Report.

For RATAs of Hg monitoring systems, this number must exactly match the test number assigned to the summarized electronic test results reported to ECMPS under Appendix A of MATS.

If a separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test (see footnote 1 on p.4, above) is performed to correspond with a Method 30B pollutant reference method test, follow the applicable instructions for reporting Test Numbers in Sections 11.0 through 15.0 of these Instructions.

Pollutant Name
 <POLLName> Mercury </POLLName>

From Table 1, above, report "Mercury".

Test Method
 <Method> Method 30B </Method>

From Table 2, above, report "Method 30B".

Run Number
 <RunNumber> Run Number </RunNumber>

A unique run number must be assigned to each test run. Run numbers are integers, beginning with "1", which indicate the sequence order for the runs performed as part of the test.

 For a Hg performance stack test (oil-fired EGUs, only), a minimum of three test runs are required.

 For a RATA, at least 9 valid runs are required.

 For a 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day Hg LEE test, count each separate data collection period with a pair of sorbent traps as a test run.

For performance stack tests and Hg LEE tests, the run numbers reported in this field must match the run numbers in the PERFORMANCE TEST RUN DATA records of the quarterly MATS Compliance Report.

For RATAs, the run numbers reported in this field must match the run numbers in the RATA Run Data XML Model in ECMPS.

Corresponding Reference Method
 <TestMethod> Corresponding Reference Method </TestMethod>

"Corresponding" measurements of the stack gas flow rate (Method 1-4) and/or CO2 or O2 concentration (Method 3A), and/or stack gas moisture content (Method 1-4) must be made concurrently with each Method 30B test run when:

         The stack gas flow rate (Q) and possibly the moisture content is needed to convert the Hg concentrations measured by Method 30B to units of an output-based MATS standard (lb/GWh), in a quarterly stack test of an oil-fired EGU or in a Hg LEE test;

         The CO2 or O2 concentration, and possibly the moisture content of the stack gas is needed to convert the Hg concentrations measured by Method 30B to units of a heat input-based MATS standard (lb/TBtu ), in a quarterly stack test of an oil-fired EGU or in a Hg LEE test; or

         The moisture content of the stack gas is needed for the RATA of a Hg monitoring system when the reference method and CEMS do not measure on the same moisture basis (wet or dry).

For each performance stack test, Hg LEE test, or RATA conducted using Method 30B, if any separate, corresponding reference method tests using Method 2, 3A, or 4 are done concurrently for any of the three reasons cited above, report the corresponding reference method(s) used, from the list in Table 3, above.

Corresponding Reference Method Run Number
Ordinarily, the pollutant reference method test runs test runs and the test runs for any corresponding reference methods performed concurrently with the pollutant RM runs will be numbered identically.   For instance, if the three runs of a Method 30B stack test or Hg LEE test are numbered 1, 2, and 3, and a separate Method 3A determination is made during each Method 30B run, the Method 3A runs will generally be numbered 1, 2, and 3, for consistency.

However, in rare cases, the run numbers assigned to the pollutant method test runs and auxiliary test runs may not match, e.g., if three Method 30B test runs are numbered 1, 2, and 3 and the corresponding Method 3A runs are numbered 4, 5, and 6.

Report the Run Number of the separate Method 2, 3A, or 4 test that corresponds to the Method 30B performance stack test run, Hg LEE test run, or RATA run (as applicable).  Use the assigned XML tag in Table 4, above, to report the Run Number.

Description of Data

This PRE-TEST CALIBRATION DATA record provides key information on the calibration of the reference method analyzers (or measurement system), before the Method 3A or 6C test is conducted.  This includes the ID numbers, concentrations, and expiration dates of the calibration gas cylinders, and the analyzer (or system) response to each calibration gas.

Use the following instructions to report each data element of the PRE-TEST CALIBRATION DATA record.  Insert each data element between the opening XML tag < > and the closing XML tag </ >):

Source ID (Location)
<Location> ID of the unit or stack </Location>

The Source ID reported in this field must exactly match the Source ID reported in the SOURCE INFORMATION DATA Section (data element 18.1 in Section 3.0, above).

Test Number
 <TestNumber> Test Number </TestNumber>

The facility must assign a unique Test Number to each Method 3A or 6C test.

For RATAs of SO2 CEMS, this number must exactly match the test number assigned to the summarized electronic test results reported to ECMPS under 40 CFR Part 75.

The test number of a separate Method 3A test performed to supplement a pollutant reference method test must match the test number of the pollutant reference method, with an added suffix, i.e.,   -AUX3AO for oxygen and -AUX3AC for carbon dioxide.

Example: If the test number of the pollutant reference method test is Q2-2021-002 and a separate Method 3A determination of the O2 concentration in the stack gas is made to supplement that test, assign a test number of Q2-2021-002-AUX3AO to the Method 3A test.

Description of Data
You must report the applicable run-level information in Figure 12 for each Method 3A or 6C test run, if:

 You use instrumental Method 3A to determine the CO2 or O2 concentration of the stack gas concurrently with each run of a performance stack test, in order to convert the measured pollutant concentrations to the units of a heat input-based emission limit; or

 You use instrumental Method 3A to determine the CO2 and O2 concentration of the stack gas, in order to determine the molecular weight of the stack gas. For this application, report separate pre-test calibration data (Section 11.0, above) and Run-level data for CO2 and O2.; or

 You use instrumental Method 6C to perform a RATA of your SO2 CEMS.

Use the following instructions to report each data element of the RUN-LEVEL DATA record.  Insert each data element between the opening XML tag < > and the closing XML tag </ >):

Source ID (Location)
 <Location> Source ID of the unit or stack </Location>

The Source ID reported in this field must exactly match the Source ID reported in the SOURCE INFORMATION DATA Section (data element 18.1 in Section 3.0, above).

Test Number
 <TestNumber> Test Number </TestNumber>

The test number reported in this field must exactly match the test number in the corresponding PRE-TEST CALIBRATION DATA record (data element 26.1 in Section 11.0, above).

Pollutant or Analyte Name
 <POLLName> Pollutant or analyte name </POLLName>

Report "Oxygen" or "Carbon Dioxide" for Method 3A tests and "Sulfur Dioxide" for Method 6C applications.

Test Method
<Method> Test Method </Method>

Report "Method 3A" or "Method 6C", as applicable.

Run Number
 <RunNumber> Run Number </RunNumber>

A unique run number must be assigned to each test run. Run numbers are integers, generally beginning with "l ", which indicate the sequence order for the runs performed as part of the test.

For a Method 3A test conducted to support a pollutant reference method test, the Run Number reported in this field must exactly match the Run Number reported in the "Corresponding Reference Method Run Number" data field of the pollutant reference method Run-level Data record.

Example:  For a particular quarterly HCl stack test using Method 26A, a separate Method 3A test is done concurrently to determine the O2 concentration.  For Run No. 1 of the HCl test, the Run Number assigned to the concurrent Method 3A test run is also "1".  Therefore, "1" must be reported in the "Corresponding Reference Method Run Number" data field of the Method 26A Run-Level Data record (data element 19.6 in Section 4.0, above).

For an SO2 RATA using Method 6C, the Run Number reported in this field must match the corresponding Run Number in the applicable Run Data XML Model in ECMPS.

Corresponding Reference Method, if applicable;
<Test Method> Corresponding Reference Method </Test Method>

Leave this field blank for Method 3A applications.

For an SO2 monitor RATA using Method 6C, if a corresponding Method 4 test is done concurrently with Method 6C to ensure that the reference method and CEMS data are on the same moisture basis, report "Method 1-4" in this field.

Corresponding Reference Method Run Number, if applicable;

Leave this field blank for Method 3A applications.
