portion of the gas stream from which the particles are entrapped is made to enter the sampling nozzle in
the same velocity as the gas stream in the stack or chimney being sampled. The sample weight is
determined gravimetrically after removal of uncombined water. Determination of % isokinetic shall be in
accordance with Appendix 3.
(b) Performance tests shall be conducted in accordance with test methods set forth hereinafter.
Alternate test procedures, equipment and/or materials of construction may be used subject to prior

sample recovery procedure described below (Section 4.11).
(d) Check the sampling train for leaks after each run by plugging the nozzle and pulling a
vacuum equal to or greater than the maximum value reached during the run. A leakage rate
of no more than 0.02 CFM is acceptable.
(e) When necessary, a representative sample of the waste being incinerated and/or the fuel
being burned during the test run will be taken. The sample will placed into an appropriate
container which is to be sealed and marked for identification.
(b) Remove the filter holder (D2 )*, reseal the openings with clean rubber stoppers, and
complete marking for identification.
(c) Remove the crying tube (F)*, reseal the openings with clean rubber stoppers, and complete
marking for identification.
(d) Remove the impingers (E1 and E2)*, reseal the openings with clean rubber stoppers, and
complete marking for identification.
(e) Wash all sample-exposed surfaces between the nozzle and the glass fiber filter holder,
including the cyclone and the flask, with acetone. Use a razor blade, brush or rubber
policeman to dislodge adhering particles. Place all loose particles and acetone wash in a
clean sample bottle, seal and label for identification.
(f) Place about 100 ml. of acetone from the same container used for the wash in a separate
clean sample bottle, seal, and label for identification (acetone blank).
(g) Wash any exposed surfaces between and including the back half of the glass fiber filter
holder and the Greenburgs-Smith impinger with distilled water.
7:27B-4.12 ANALYSIS
(a) Record the data required on the Laboratory Report Form (see Appendix 2 for
recommended reporting form). Handle each sample as follows:
(1) Transfer the filter and any loose particles from the glass holder (D2 )* to a tared
weighing dish, dry, and desiccate to a constant weight (as in preparation). Report
results to nearest 0.1 mg.
(2) Wash the glass holder (D2 )* (for filter) with acetone and add to the acetone wash
sample bottle (subsection 4.11(e)).
(3) Measure the volume of the acetone wash (subsection 4.11(e)) in ml., then
evaporate to dryness at 70o F and one atmosphere in a tared beaker, heat to 220-
230o F, desiccate at room temperature and weigh to a constant weight. After
adjusting for the blank, the results are reported to the nearest 0.1 mg.
(4) Measure the volume of water in the impingers to the nearest 1.0 ml. and record.
Add the distilled water washout to the impinger water before continuing with the
analysis.
(5) Filter the impinger solution through a tared Gooch crucible, fitted with a glass fiber
filter disc (Reeve-Angel 934AH** or approved equivalent). Dry the filter at 220-
230o F, desiccate at room temperature, and weigh to constant weight. Report results
to the nearest 0.1 mg.
(6) Extract the organic particulate from the impinger solution first with three 25 ml.
portions of chloroform and then with three 35 ml. portions of ethyl ether. Combine
the chloroform and ethyl ether extracts, transfer to a tared beaker and evaporate at
about 70o F until no solvent remains. Desiccate and weigh to a constant weight.
Report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg.
(7) The impinger solution remaining after extraction is evaporated to dryness in a tared
beaker at 220-230o F, desiccated at room temperature and weighed to constant
weight. Report the results to the nearest 0.1 mg.
(8) Weigh the drying tube to the nearest gram after removing the seals and record the
weight. Each gram of increased weight equals one ml. of water. This volume plus
the volume collected in the impingers (subsection 4.11(d)) represents the total
moisture in the gas sampled and is used to determine the percent moisture in the
stack gas.
(9) The total weight of particles collected corrected to 12% CO2 is the sum of the
weighs of particles as determined in subsection 4.12(a)1, 4.12 (a)3, 4.12(a)5,
4.12(a)6, and 4.12(a)7.
(10) The total weight of particles collected corrected to 7% O2 is the sum of the weights
of particles as determined in subsection 4.12(a)1, and 4.12(a)3.
(b) Analysis on the waste being incinerated and/or the fuel being burned will be conducted in a
manner approved by the Department.

All observations will be recorded on an appropriate form.
7:27B-4.17 ODORS
(a) The presence of odors being detectable by sense of smell in any area of human use or
occupancy shall be determined by an observer.
(b) The observer shall be positioned downwind in the direction of the plume of the incinerator
in any area of human use or occupancy and shall record his observations on an appropriate
form.

The original Appendix 1 has not been reproduced here. The sample train generally employed for
this method is as described in EPA Method 5, which can be downloaded from the EPA Emission
Measurement Center (www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/promgate.html), with in-line thermocouples before and after
the filter to monitor the sample gas temperature. The filter temperature is limited to being sufficiently hot
to prevent condensation of water on the filter (generally 10-15o F above stack temperature) not to exceed
225o F. A post-test leak check conducted consistent with the procedures detailed for the pre-test leak
check (7:27B-4.9(e)) is mandatory.
