Undiluted exhaust emissions of diesel engines in diesel-powered
equipment approved under part 36 and heavy-duty non-permissible diesel-powered equipment
as defined in 75.1908(a) in use in underground coal mines shall be tested and evaluated
weekly by a person who is trained to perform this task. The mine operator shall
develop and implement written standard operating procedures for such testing and
evaluation that specify the following: |
|
|
|
|
1. |
The method of achieving a repeatable loaded engine operating condition for
each type of equipment |
|
2. |
Sampling and analytical methods (including calibration of instrumentation)
that are capable of accurately detecting carbon monoxide in the expected concentrations |
|
3. |
The method of evaluation and interpretation of the results |
|
4. |
The concentration or change in concentration of carbon monoxide that will
indicate a change in engine performance. Carbon monoxide concentration shall not exceed
2500 parts per million; and |
|
5. |
The maintenance of records necessary to track engine performance |
| |
|
|
| h. |
Record-keeping. Records required by paragraphs (f) (2)
and (g) (5) shall be-- |
