Chapter 1: Introduction What is the ERT?
Chapter 1: Introduction
Thank you for using this version of EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT). Please keep checking
http://www.epa. gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html for the latest version of ERT and the user's manual.
What is the ERT?
The ERT is used to electronically create and submit stationary source sampling test plans and reports
to regulatory agencies, provide a means for regulatory agencies to give comments on a test plan after
approval to document the test program, calculate results and submit (or resubmit) the test results as an
electronic report to the regulatory agency. Additionally, the ERT provides a means for individuals to
review and comment on the submitted test report. Certain EPA regulatory programs require the use of
the ERT to submit compliance tests. The ERT allows one to create a compressed submittal package,
which consists of the test data and an XML export file. Users can then send the submission package
file to the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX). The test reports will then be stored in the EPA's
WebFIRE database \http://cfpiib. epa.gov/webfire/].
ERT Main Parts
When you open the ERT for the first time, you will see the Microsoft Access Application. The
application, which consists of the main screen, internal screens and menu buttons, allows one to
create a Project Data Set (PDS). The PDS contains all of the information required, plus any
attachments. The Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is an optional part of the ERT. You can use it to enter
manual source test data and subsequently import that data into the ERT.
• ERT Application
The ERT Application is a Microsoft Access Database. To run the ERT, you must have
Microsoft Access 2007, 2010, 2013 or the runtime version of Microsoft Access. The runtime
version is available for free from the Microsoft Access Download Center at
http://www. microsoft.com/en-iis/download/details.aspx?id=l0910. Before running the ERT
for the first time, please refer to Chapter 2: Before You Begin for instructions.
• Project Data Set
The Project Data Set (PDS) is a Microsoft Access Database file generated by the ERT
Application which, depending on the stage of completion, may contain the Test Plan, Test
Plan Review (by the Regulatory Agency), Test Report Data and/or Test Report Assessment
(by the Regulatory Agency). This is the file that will be exchanged between the source test
contractor, the client and the state agency, and the EPA. Each PDS contains information for
test reports from one emissions source. When you create a new PDS, you are prompted for a
file name for the PDS that is created. The file is created automatically in a "ProjectData"
directory by the ERT. You may change the location of the "ProjectData" directory if you
wish. The last PDS used is remembered by the ERT when restarted. There is no limit on the
number of PDS files, but only one PDS can be opened at a time.
amec -
-------
Chapter1: Introduction Basic Workflow
• Excel Spreadsheet
The Excel spreadsheet can be used as an option for entering manual test data into the ERT.
Manual test run data can be entered into the spreadsheet and then imported into the ERT.
Users have the option of incorporating this spreadsheet into their legacy spreadsheets and
then importing the data into the ERT.
Basic Workflow
The basic work flow is as follows, though other work flows are possible:
• Source Test Owner
Creates a partial test plan with basic information on facility and process requiring testing
and target analytes to be included.
Emails the ERT PDS to source Test Company for completion.
• Source or Testing Company
Creates the test plan/report [Note: The test plan is part of the test report. You have the
option to submit a test plan to the regulatory agency before testing, but it is not required].
Creates the ERT Submission Package File.
Submits the ERT Submission Package File to regulatory agency.
• Regulatory Agency
Reviews test plan, if submitted, communicates with source/testing company, as
necessary.
Approves test plan or marks areas where more information is needed.
• Source or Testing Company
Updates the test plan, if requested by the regulatory agency, creates new ERT Submission
Package File, and resubmits to the agency.
If approved by regulatory agency, performs testing.
Enters run data into spreadsheet or directly into the ERT.
Enters lab data into the ERT.
Attaches supporting documentation.
Creates the "ERT Submission Package" file.
Submits the "ERT Submission Package" file to Regulatory Agency or EPA.
• Regulatory Agency
Reviews test report.

Chapter 2: Before You Begin Test Plan
Chapter 2: Before You Begin
Here are some tips to help complete each section of the ERT.
Test Plan
Completing the test plan accomplishes two interrelated processes in the ERT. First, it is the vehicle
used to inform all the parties associated with the planned test program of the needed details about the
specific process unit to be tested, the test matrix (test methods, number of runs, duration of runs,
analytical finish, etc.), the process information to be collected, the QA/QC activities, and the safety
requirements. Second, the test plan provides the foundation for the test report since all of the
information that is in the test plan is used in some aspect of a comprehensive test report.
Although, the operating permit is not needed to input the minimum information required to complete
a test plan in the ERT, it is recommended that a copy of the operating permit for the affected source
be available. The permit will provide most of the site identification information needed for the ERT.
Test location information, process descriptions, air pollution control device information and
parameter monitoring information are the same as normally required for test plans (see EPA
Emissions Measurement Center Guideline Document 42, Preparation and Review of Site Specific
Test Plans h ftp://www. epa. gov tin emc auiillnil »il-042. pdf).
The ERT requires detailed process information. This information is important in properly
characterizing the emission process and is necessary for EPA to develop and update its emissions
factors (EF) database. EF data is typically represented as a mass rate of emissions per process
parameter (i.e. lb pollutant/ton of product made). The process data are needed to determine the value
of the denominator. Required facility and process information includes, but is not limited to:
• Process rate information,
• Source Classification Code (SCC)
Facility Registration Number, and,
• Air Pollution Control Device (APCD) operating parameters.
Manual Sampling Data
The ERT allows entering run field data two ways:
1. Entering data into the ERT spreadsheet and then importing the data into the ERT.
2. Entering the data directly into the ERT.
The spreadsheet option is provided for user's that are more comfortable using spreadsheets. The ERT
spreadsheet provided may also be incorporated into user's proprietary field data spreadsheets. Users
amec -
-------
Chapter 2: Before You Begin Instrument Sampling Data
can link cells from their spreadsheets to the cells in the ERT spreadsheet. This allows for quicker data
entry into the ERT and reduces the likelihood of key punch errors.
The ERT has been designed to accept data for most of the individual test methods commonly used
today. Although we recognize that some test methods may be combined to minimize the number of
sample trains in operation, ERT has not been set up to include all possible combinations. Therefore, if
a single train is used for multiple methods which the ERT is not currently capable of combining
(example: Method 5 and Method 8), data for each method must be entered into the ERT separately.
To avoid the need to enter the same run data multiple times, we recommend the use of the included
Excel spreadsheet and importing the data into each method, as appropriate.
Instrument Sampling Data
At this time, the ERT requires manual entry of instrumental test data, which is input by location and
method. To allow for automatic calculation of system bias and linearity, each calibration standard
must be entered into the ERT under item 16 of the "Test Plan" tab.

Chapter 3: Getting Started Verify that you have a Version of Microsoft
Access that will Run the ERT
Chapter 3: Getting Started
Verify that you have a Version of Microsoft Access that will Run the ERT
If you have Microsoft Access version 2007:
Verify that you have at least Service Pack 2 installed. Open Microsoft Access, click on the
MS circle in the upper left corner of the Access window, click on "Access Options' at the
bottom of the window, click on "Resources" in the left column. At the bottom of the window
just below the text "about Microsoft Office Access 2007" the software (Microsoft Office
Access 2007) and the Service Pack level is identified. If Service Pack 2 is installed, the text
"SP2 MSO' will be between two sets of numbers that are in parentheses. If you do not have
Service Pack 2 installed, click on "Check for Updates" and follow the directions to install the
updates from Microsoft. Many corporate computers do not allow users to install software and
you will need to contact your information technology center and have them update your
software.
If you have Microsoft Access version 2010 or 2013: Any Service Pack level is acceptable in order to
run the ERT Application.
If you do NOT have Microsoft Access:
You will need to download and install the runtime version of Microsoft Access from the
Microsoft Access Download Center. A link to the download center is provided on the EPA
ERT website.
After installing the Runtime version of Microsoft Access, follow the instructions below to
install and run the ERT.
Downloading and Installing the ERT
The EPA website http://www. epa. gov tin chief'en iin/ex. html contains the latest versions of the ERT,
the spreadsheet, the user's guide, and example data sets.
Once you've determined that you are running a version of MS Access which is capable of running the
ERT Application, follow these two steps.
1. Download the latest versions program files. This file includes the latest version of the ERT
and the user's guide.
2. To run the ERT, right click on the downloaded zip file and select "Extract Air. Select a
destination for the extracted files. Go to the destination folder and double click on
ERT4.accdb file.

Source tests for similar sources may contain some of the same information. To keep from having
to enter the same information for similar tests, the ERT has the ability to save the currently
selected PDS as a template. When this happens, a new PDS is created with the current test plan
information saved and all the other data deleted. The new template PDS can then is used as a
starting point for a similar source test. The ERT also has the ability to save all of current PDS
data into a new PDS.
• Click '"Save Project Data Set As" from the ERT main menu. The window shown in

Compacting a Project Data Set
Microsoft Access files can be very large. By clicking on "Compacting a Project Data Set" you
can reduce the file size of the project data set. This will not affect the quality of content of the
file. Do this by clicking "Compact Project Data Set" from the project data set area of the ERT
main menu. A message will alert you when the process is complete.
Compacting the ERT
Because of the way Microsoft Access manages memory allocation, the file size of the ERT
program will grow. If you have Access 2010, or runtime program from 2010, or later, installed
then the file will automatically compact itself upon closing the program.
For versions of Access 2007, the user will need to periodically compact the ERT. Do this by
following these steps:
1. Click the Microsoft Access icon on the upper left of the ERT Access program. This will open
the Microsoft administration tools window, as seen in Figure 7.
2. In the left menu of the Administration tools window, click on the "Manage" icon. A submenu
will open in submenu selection space in the right most part of the window.
3. Click on the "Compact and Repair Database" selection to compact the ERT.

Data Entry Process
To begin the data entry process, click "Test Plan" in the "Setup/ Test Plan' on the ERT main
menu. The screen shown in Error! Reference source not found, will appear. This screen
contains a series of data entry tabs that cover the information required for a test plan/test report.
[Recall a test plan is not required by the EPA to be submitted. However, a state air agency may
require/request that it be sent to them. Keep in mind, these fields should be filled in before a
submission package file is submitted] There are 10 tabs or sections in the test plan module:
" Facility/Tester," Perm it/S CC.' "RegulationsProcess/A PC I). "Locations/Methods,3'
"Methods cant. ' "Audit/Calibrations. ' "Schedule" "Signatures," and "Attachments."
Requested Information
The information requested has been selected to adequately characterize a facility, the regulatory
use of the data, and what tests are to be performed. In general, providing this information will
give the test plan reviewer enough information to evaluate the test plan without needing
additional information. However, it is not possible to create a generic list of information that
includes all the information for all test plan scenanos. Use comments and attachments to provide
information in the test plan to facilitate review whenever possible. Complete all sections to speed
up the test plan review and approval process. You may access specific sections of the test plan
data entry form by clicking the other control buttons on the ERT main menu (e.g.
"Locations/Methods").

Figure 19 - SCC selection menu with no established process units
When a user selects one of the SCC's where there is no established set of units for the process rate,
the selection of one of these SCC's will initiate a sub menu shown in Figure 19Figure 20 which
allows the user to establish a set of units for documenting the process rate variable to associate with
the measured emissions. The process variable is divided into four parameters. The first parameter is
the units used to measure the pollutants. A default of pounds (Lb) is pre-populated in the "Pollutant
Unit field. Other units may be selected either from the drop down list or users may add emissions
units. Users should limit their selection to units which are available as a rate (i.e. /hr or /minute) in the
Add Emissions/Concentrations" area of the "Locations/Methods" tab (Item 7b). The second
parameter is "Measure' which is the units used to measure the process rate. Several existing units for
measurement are available and include but not limited to tons, megawatt-hour, and pounds.
Additional units of measurement may be added should the required measurement units not be in the
list. The third parameter is "Material." The parameter material is the designation of what material is
measured as an indicator of the process rate. As with "Measure" many items are available in the drop
down list of existing materials. Also, the user may add a parameter describing the material used to
describe the process rate. Lastly, "Action" is used to describe what action is used to describe the
measured material. The drop down list includes many existing actions that have been used to describe
other process rates. If the user cannot find a suitable action to describe the process rate measurement,
an additional action may be added.

You can input sampling locations and sampling methods using this screen.
• 1. Please enter sampling location information: Section 1 is where sampling location information
is entered. For existing test locations, you can either type the information directly into the fields,
or click in the Location column which will open the Add Location" screen. You must click on
the "Add Location" for a new location. The different locations must have a unique name which
must be entered before the remaining fields become activated. Multiple sampling locations may
be provided for emissions sources requiring inlet and outlet testing, for different operating
conditions or with multiple emissions locations. The ERT does not currently sum or average
emissions from multiple locations. As a result, for sources with multiple inlets or outlet locations
testers are required to calculate the sum or average of these multiple stacks and provide the
resulting information in the "Tester DO Assessment " section.
When you click "Add Location." you'll see a window like that shown in Figure 22 - Test Plan
Locations/Methods Location Edit and Insert options. Enter a unique location name. Then select
either inlet or outlet. If a "Round Duct Diam" is entered, the "Duct Length" and ' Duct Width '
fields will be inactivated. If a "Duct Length'' value and "Duct Width" value are entered, the
"Equivalent Diameter' will be calculated automatically
Enter the "I p Stream Distance to Disturbance" and "Down Stream Distance to Disturbance"
and click on the "Calc Points"' button. The number of "Total Traverse Points" required by
Method 1 will be automatically calculated. You may change the number in the "Total Traverse
Points" field to reflect the proposed or actual number of traverse points.

Select a combination of test location and method in the 'Location - Method,'' field which
combines values from numbers 1 and 2a above. Be sure to move the units you are using from the
"Available'' box to the "Selectedr box on the right.
If the selected emission concentration in the "Available'" box has the word "corrected" on the end
of it, two prompts will occur in succession. To the first prompt, "Enter Corrected Analyte (02 or
CO2) for the concentration. To the second prompt, "Enter Corrected Percentage (i.e. 7)" for the
concentration being corrected.
Once you entered all of the information, the only three columns that can be edited directly in the
table are "Corrected Analyte" "Corrected %" and Process Rate Parameter'
If one of the "Units of Measure" chosen is a pollutant emission rate, you may pair this emission
unit with a "Process Rate Parameter" which has been entered in 6a of the Pro cess/A PCI) tab.
You must use one of the available parameters that are available on the drop down list and that
have the same time units as the emission rate. If the correct parameter is not available, you should
go to the Process/APCl)" tab to add the information required to create the correct parameter
rate. For more detail on the creation of a process rate parameter, see the directions for

required in a Title V permit. Process data is required. You can either type the information in the
fields directly, or click the "Add Process" button. If there are no populated process parameter
lines, you should go to the Permit/SCC Screen to select the SCC and associated process
parameter for the tested unit. The first field is pre-populated and highlighted yellow, which means
the ERT completed this field based on the SCC you selected or an activity indicator that you
established when you selected the SCC. But if the information in a yellow field is incorrect it can
be changed by returning to the Permit/SCC Screen where it was established. For example, if the
activity information is not correct, returning to the SCC selection may show that the SCC had
multiple default activity parameters and the one selected was incorrect. By changing the
selection, the first process data parameter will change to the process units identified in the SCC
selection list.
While the first line in process parameters list is populated from the SCC selection list, additional
process parameters may be added by clicking on "Add Process" which will display the "Process
Information" menu shown in Figure 32. This menu is identical to the menu used to populate the
SCC activity parameter when no default parameter was established for that SCC.

Test Plan Process/APCD Add Process Form
To add or change the fields under the different column headings you must click in either the
"Process Parameter' or the "Process Rate" columns. You will see a box like Figure 32. If the
box is not visible, it may be hidden behind the test plan menu. By clicking on the test plan menu
bar and moving it to a different location, you will see the "Process Information'' menu.
Below is a description of the fields:
Process Parameter:
Process data parameter(s) documented during testing. Entries
with a yellow background were pre-populated based on the SCC.
Since the text is a combination of text from the Material and
Action fields, you must enter or change text in those fields to
change the text in this field.
Process Rate:
This is populated with a combination of the text entered in the
Measure field and the Time Unit specified in the field to the right
of the Measure field. As with the Process Parameter field, to
change this field, you must change the text in the other fields.
Process Information used to generate process based emissions
(i.e. lb/Ton of Clinker) must use the same units specified for the
emission rate time unit.
Pollutant Unit:
For a process base emission, this is the pollutant mass unit which
will become the numerator unit (i.e. lb as in lb/Ton of Clinker).
For process information that is not directly associated with mass
emissions of a pollutant (such as a process temperature, reactant
feed rate or opacity) no pollutant unit is required.
Measure, Material,
Action:
These items are the same as were defined in the section for
selecting the SCC. While a significant number of descriptors are
provided in the drop down lists, almost all are primarily for
creating an emission unit that combines an emission rate with a
process rate. You may provide text which better describes the
process parameter and the process rate information. For example

pollutants being quantified during the test. All devices you select m section 7b should also be
described in section 7a with additional information to explain details which cannot be entered in
section 7b. You should also insure that all parameters required to document the performance of
each control device are listed in item 7a. You should identify the most critical APCD
performance monitoring parameter that will be used for continuous compliance demonstration,
describe the parameter in the comments field and provide the units of measure for that parameter.

Adding an Attachment
Several of the questions in the test plan section allow the user to import files as attachments to the
test plan. If you added an attachment in one of the earlier tabs, the attachment tab will show a
number"" I" (or however many attachments were added) next to the paperclip in parentheses.
To add attachments to an existing named documentation area, double click on the paperclip. A
window like that in Figure 41 will open. If files were attached previously, the file name will be
listed in the field. If no files were attached, the field will be blank and all but the "Add..." button
will be faded. In both situations, to add an attachment, click on the "Add..." button to display a
Windows file selection menu.
In this screen you can add additional attachments by double clicking the paperclip next to the
description that applies. If your type of attachment isn't specifically listed, follow these steps:

the prompst.Note: If you cannot see the paperclip image, it is likely that the PDSyou are using was
created by older ERT version. The old PDS files have an OLE object field instead of an attachment file
type. As a result; PDS file sizes in ERT version 3 are greater than ERT version 4. hi addition, very large
attachments may not be able to be viewed because of memory constraints. If so, revise the PDS file to the
ERT version 4 file type which with an .accdb extension. If you create a new PDSyou will see the paper
clips. If the existing ERT version 3 PDS is extensive and was created in, you can change the PDS to a
version 4 format by: 1) Save all the attachments in the old ERTfile using a descriptive file name; 2)
Create an new blank PDS using ERT version 4; 3) Close ERT, open MS Access and load the blank PDS;
4) Delete all the tables in the PDS except " tblAttachments;" 5)In the Access menu, select "External

The ERT separates methods into three basic categories - single train isokinetic/manual methods,
paired train manual methods and instrumental methods. Currently, only the paired sampling train
form mercury by Method 30B can be documented in the ERT. For a single train isokinetic/manual
method, to complete the "Test Data" section you may either import the data from a spreadsheet or
manually enter the data. For a paired train manual method and an instrumental method, you must
enter the data manually.
If you have your field data organized in a spreadsheet format consistent with the template described at
http://www.epa.gOv/ttn/chief/ert/index.html#spreadsheets you can import the majority of information
for the ' Header Data" and "Point Data" tabs for single train manual test methods as follows:

preferably ten times the MDL. Since Method 30B includes an
acceptance criterion that a valid analysis result must be within
the calibration range, the low point of the calibration curve
establishes the minimum analytical result which meets the
acceptance criteria.
High Point of the
Calibration Curve:
This is the highest mass which the technician selects for
calibration of the analytical instrument. As with the low point of
the calibration curve, the high point of the calibration curve
establishes the maximum analytical result which meets the
acceptance criteria.
Est MDL from
breakthrough results:
This value is a calculated value based upon the
trap 2 results. The estimated MDL multiplies the standard
deviation of the trap 2 mass by the one tailed /'-value at the 99%
significance level with a degree of freedom of the number of
samples less one.
Expected Mass of
Hg to be collected:
This is the mass value of Hg expected to be collected in
Section 1 of the sample trap. The expected mass is used to assess
the acceptability of the spike level used during the field recovery
test. Method 30B section 8.2.6.1 indicates that the pre-sampling
spike mass must be within 50 to 150 percent of this expected
mass.
Run Technician Name:
This field is the name of the person that operated the equipment
used to collect the sample. (Optional)
Mercury Mass Units:
This field provides the metric units associated with all the
reported mass values used in the sample data tab. Metric mass
values available range from grams (g) to nanograms (ng). You
should select mass units which will display the trap two values
with at least number in the one place.
Gas Meter Units:
This is the units that the dry gas meter displays. The ERT limits
selection to liters, cubic meters and cubic feet. You should select
the display units for the gas meters used to collect the sample
and shown on the point data sheet.
Sampling Media Information:
This area is only present in the paired train sampling
methodology. Information in this area is used to identify the
supplier of the sampling media, analytical instrumentation, the
analyst and the analysis method.
Trap Manufacturer:
This is the manufacturer of the sample cartridge or sleeve
containing a sorbent media (typically activated carbon treated
with iodine or some other halogen) with multiple sections
separated by an inert material such as glass wool. These sorbent
traps are optimized for the quantitative capture of elemental and
oxidized forms of Hg and can be analyzed by multiple
techniques.

and analyze the collected samples. Recovery techniques may
include acid leaching, digestion, and thermal desorption/direct
combustion. Example analytical techniques include, but are not
limited to, ultraviolet atomic fluorescence (UV AF), ultraviolet
atomic absorption (UV AA) with and without gold trapping, and
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.
Eauivment ID:
Information provided in the equipment ID area is used to identify
specific pieces of equipment used for the test run. Identifiers
which may be used include but are not limited to manufacturers"
product name and serial numbers or test company identification
numbers.
Dry Gas Meter:
The dry gas meter is the piece of hardware responsible for
quantifying the volume of gas passing through the meter.
Typically this is a diaphragm or bellows meter. The bellows in
the meter drive an odometer-like counter indicating the total
volume of gas which has passed through the meter. The ID is
necessary for calibration documentation purposes. (Optional)
Control Console.
The control console describes the combination of the dry gas
meter, pumps, temperature controllers, manometers, pressure
transducers and vacuum gauge. The ID is necessary for
calibration documentation purposes. (Optional)
Umbilical:
This is the sample gas transport line from the sample box to the
control console or meterbox. The umbilical usually consists of
bundled tubing, thermocouple, electrical lines, etc., used to
control the probe and sample box filter temperatures. The
Umbilical ID is present only on the "Single Train'' header tab.
(Optional)

Probe/Pitot:
This is the sample probe and or Pitot equipment identification
number. The Pitot is the piece of hardware used to measure the
velocity pressure of the stack gas. The ID is necessary for
calibration documentation purposes.
Nozzle:
The nozzle ID is necessary for calibration documentation
purposes. The Nozzle ID is present only on the "Single Train"
header tab.
Filters:
Information provided in the filters area is used to identify the
specific filter used for the test run. The numbers assigned to each
of the filters is necessary for associating laboratory analyses with
the specific test program. Since at this time filters are not used
with the paired train methods which can be documented in the
ERT, the filter numbers are present only on the "Single Train"
header tab.
FilterNuml:
For particulate sampling, enter the filter's unique identification
number.
FilterNum2:
This is for the second filter ID, if two filters are used.
FilterNuml:
This is for the third filter ID, if three filters are used.
Calibration:
Documenting equipment IDs allows for the calibration data for
the specific equipment used in sampling to be included with the
test data.
Y:
This is the dry gas meter correction coefficient, gamma, of an
isokinetic sampling train meterbox (such as used for Method 5
sampling). The value is determined by the calibration of the dry
gas meter with a volume device traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The units of
gamma are dimensionless and should be between 0.95 and 1.05.
DH@:
Delta H @ (AH„) is the orifice pressure differential in inches of
H20 of an isokinetic sampling train meterbox (such as used for
Method 5 sampling) that correlates to 0.75 cfin at 528°R and
29.92 in Hg.
Cp:
The Pitot tube coefficient for an S-type Pitot can range from 0.80
to 0.88 but is usually between 0.84 and 0.864. The default value
allowed for S-type Pi tots' meeting the Method 2 design
specification and which have not been calibrated is 0.84. Any S-
type Pitot with a Cp other than 0.84 should also include
documentation of calibration by the procedure described in
Section 10 of Method 2. The Cp for a standard Pitot is 0.99.
Dn (in):
The nozzle diameter is measured in inches. Since at this time the
nozzle diameter is not needed with the paired train methods
which can be documented in the ERT, the nozzle diameter is
present only on the "Single Train" header tab.

Ambient:
Information provided in this area is used to identify ambient air
surrounding the sampling location.
Pb:
The barometric pressure of the sampling location. If the pressure
is reported to sea level conditions, adjust the pressure for the
elevation of the location above sea level. A 0.1 inches Hg
decrease for every 100 feet of elevation is typically used.
Pstatic:
The static pressure, inches of water, of the sampling location.
Temperature:
Ambient Temperature in degrees F. The ambient temperature
field is present only on the single train Header Data tab.
Con centrations:
The following two parameters refer to the concentrations of
carbon dioxide and oxygen in the gas stream as measured by one
of several other test methods"
% C02:
The carbon dioxide percent of the gas stream tested. The pull-
down to the right of the field for the C02 concentration provides
access to the results of instrumental measurements of C02.
% 02:
The oxygen percent of the gas stream tested. The pull-down to
the right of the field for the 02 concentration provides access to
the results of instrumental measurements of 02.
Checks:
The following parameters refer to leak checking of various
equipment components. "Pre" refers to checks done before the
start of a run, "mid" is in reference to checks performed
sometime during the run (such as between port changes), and
"post" means after the run. For paired train sampling, there are
fields for documenting checks for both sample trains verses a
single sampling train system.
Vacuum- Pre & Post:
The vacuum at which the pre and post sampling train leak checks
were performed.
Leak Check Total
Volume, Mid:
For single sampling trains, this is the total volume
recorded by the dry gas meter (DGM) during all leak checks
performed between the pre test and post test leak checks. This
volume is subtracted from the total sample volume recorded for
the test run. These leak checks are typically conducted during
sampling port changes. Since the ERT capable test method
which requires paired sampling trains does not allow for leak
checks with port changes this field is present only on the single
train Header Data tab.
Leak Rate- Pre & Post:
These include the pre- and post-test sampling train leak check
rates. For Method 5, the post-test leak rate must be less than or
equal to 0.02 acfm. For paired sampling trains, both sampling
trains must have leak rates below 4%. The pre-test leak rate is
compared to the initial sampling rate and the post-test leak rate is
compared to the average sampling rate.

The velocity pressure (delta p) expressed in inches of water.
Values in "DeltaP" are used in the calculation of isokinetics,
average delta p, velocity of gas stream and actual and standard
stack gas flow.
OrificePresDesired:
This is the orifice pressure setting required for sampling
isokinetically, measured by inches water. For paired sample train
tests there are two columns for recording the desired orifice
pressure.
OrificePresActual:
Orifice pressure actually sampled or reached, measured by
inches of water. The values in the "Orifice Pressure ActuaF are
used in the calculation for "Delta H. sample volume corrected
to standard conditions, isokinetics, moisture percentage, dry
mole fraction of water, velocity of gas stream and actual and
standard stack gas flow. For paired sample train tests there are
two columns for recording the actual orifice pressure.
StackTemp:
Stack temperature is the temperature of the effluent gas at the
sampling point and is expressed as degrees F. The values in the
stack temp are used in the calculation for isokinetics, moisture
percentage at saturation, dry mole fraction of water, wet
molecular weight of sampled gas stream, average stack
temperature, velocity of gas stream, and actual and standard
stack gas flow. For paired sample train tests there are two
columns for recording the stack temperature.
ProbeTemp:
This is the temperature of the sampling probe, degrees F. For
paired sample train tests there are two columns for recording the
probe temperature.
Trap Temp:
This is the temperature of the sample collection traps. For paired
sample train tests there are two columns for recording the trap
temperature. There is no column for trap temperature for single
train sample methods.
FilTempIn:
This is the filter temperature entering the filter box or
compartment, degrees F. All filter temperatures should be the
temperature measured by a thermocouple in direct contact with
the sample gas. Where a sampling protocol requires the
monitoring of two filter temperatures, this may be used as the
exit gas temperature for the first filter. For example, this would
be the Method 5 filter temperature for a combined Method 5 and
Method 202 sampling train.
FilTempOut:
This is the filter temperature exiting the filter box or
compartment, degrees F. Where a sampling protocol requires the
monitoring of two filter temperatures, this may be used as the
exit gas temperature for the second filter. For example, this
would be the Method 202 filter temperature for a combined
Method 5 and Method 202 sampling train.

Comments: Observations or comments. EMC Guidance document GD-051F
recommends the reporting of individual components and
laboratory detection level(s) in the comment field. Each
component should be provided in the order of the sampling train
with comas separating the individual values. Values which are
below the detection limit should be enclosed with brackets and
the value proceeded with a less than sign. For example, a four

Header Data Screen
Trap ID:
This is usually an alphanumeric code as required by section 6.1.1
of Method 3 OB which uniquely identifies a cartridge or sleeve
containing a sorbent media with two sections separated by an
inert material.
Section 1 Hg Mass:
This is the mass determined by the analysis of the first section of
the sorbent trap and the inert separation material. The units of
measure displayed after the date entry fields are the units
selected on the paired train "Header Data" screen.
Section 1 Spike Value:
This is the mass which was spiked (added) to "Section 1" of one
of the pairs of traps used for the Field Recovery Test. All spiked
samples will be considered to be one of the tests for the "Field
Recovery Study.' The mass spiked should be between 50 and
150 percent of the expected mass collected on the unspiked
samples.
Section 1 Spike Recovery:
For samples which were spiked, the concentration calculated by
Method 30B Equation 30B-6 is presented. The units of measure
are (ig/dscm.
Section 1 Spike
Recovery Mass:
For samples which were spiked, the product of the spike
recovery concentration and the volume of gas sampled are
presented. The units of measure are those selected in the
"Header Data" screen.
Section 1 Recovery
Percentage:
For samples which were spiked, the percentage of spike
mass recovered calculated by Method 30B Equation 30B-7 is
presented. While there are no specifications for individual
recoveries, the average of all the Field Recovery tests should be
between 85% and 115%.
Section 2 Hg Mass:
This is the mass determined by the analysis of the second section
of the sorbent trap. The units of measure displayed after the entry
fields are the units selected on the Header Data screen. You
should adjust the units of measure on the "Header Data" screen
such that all figures for the mass are visible within the three
visible decimal places of this field.
Section 2 Breakthrough:
This is the breakthrough percentage from the section 1 mass.
Method 30B Equation 30B-2 calculates breakthrough by
dividing the Section 1 sorbent trap results by the Section 2
sorbent trap results. The units of measure are percent. The
acceptability of the breakthrough percentage is dependent on the
average concentration for the test run.
Initial Sampling Rate:
This is the initial sample flow rate entered in the point data by
the source tester. This value will be used to assess the
acceptability of the Pre-test leak rate and the ability of the source
tester to maintain this sampling rate during the test period. The
amec -
-------
Chapter 5: Test Data
Header Data Screen
units of the sampling rate are those selected in the "Header
Data" screen.
Average Sampling Rate:
This is the average sampling rate achieved by the source tester
during the run. This value will be used to assess the acceptability
of the Post-test leak rate and the ability of the source tester to
maintain this sampling rate during the test period. The units of
the sampling rate are those selected in the "Header Data"
screen.
Maximum deviation
from sampling rate.
This is the maximum sampling rate deviation from the average
sampling rate. While there are no criteria for acceptability, this
value is an indicator of the source testers" ability to achieve the
intent of the method to maintain a constant sample flow rate. The
units of the deviation are in percent.
Total Sample Volume.
This is the total volume of gas sampled through the collection
traps. The units of this value are Cubic Meters. This value will
be compared to the average sample volume collected during the
"Field Recovery" study tests.
Spl Vol deviation
from field recovery run:
This is the percentage deviation from the average sample volume
recorded for the "Field Recovery" study tests. To meet the
acceptability requirements of Method 30B Section 8.3.3.3, each
test run must be within 20 percent of the volume for the "Field
Recovery" study tests.
Sample Mercury
Mass Collected:
This is the sum of the mass collected on Section 1 and
Section 2 reduced by any mass spiked on Section 1. The units of
measure are those selected in the "Header Data" screen.
Sample Mercury
Concentration (Cd):
This is the dry concentration of mercury measured by each
of the two sampling trains based upon the "Sample Mass"
collected and the "Total Volume Sampled". The units of
measure for the concentration are in (ig/dscm.
Sample Mercury
Concentration (Cw):
This is the wet concentration of mercury measured by the
two sampling trains based upon the dry concentration and the
measured moisture content. The units of measure for the
concentration are in ^ig/scm.
Test Run Mercury
Concentration:
This is the average of the paired trap concentrations.
Although the values are displayed to five significant figures
users should base any decision on local policy for rounding and
use of significant figures. EPA policy is that final values should
be rounded to two or three significant figures.
Paired Trap Agreement
Relative Deviation:
This is the relative difference between the two samples as
calculated by Method 30B Equation 30B-5. The unit of measure
is percent. The criteria specified in Method 30B for acceptance
depends upon the average measured concentration.

Figure 64 - Paired Sampling Train: QA/QC Tab
For paired sampling trains, there is a QA/QC tab which identifies several of the QA/QC
specifications contained in the test method and the Acceptance Criteria specified in the test
method. In addition, the last column has text which describes the specific conditions for deciding
the acceptability criteria and an acceptability assessment. Because of differences in display of
numbers by the software, and variations in the rounding and significant figures conventions of
different programs, the values presented show more decimal places than necessary. The
acceptability assessment uses EPA's criteria of carrying all digits through the calculations and
rounding to two significant places except when otherwise indicated. It is assumed that acceptance
criteria presented in the method with one or two places are to be evaluated at two significant
figures and that criteria presented in the method with three places are to be evaluated at three
significant figures.

Enter the results from the test run. If you followed the guidance presented in the first section of
"Instrumental Test Method Dataonly one blank run was created. By completing the
information in the ITM Run Results" for one run and adding new runs with the menu button on
this page, much of the information on this page will be pre populated on the pages of the new
runs. If "ITM Run Results'' have been completed on some but not all runs or if the number of
runs entered is equal or greater than specified in the test plan, the "Add New Run" button will be
available on only the last run. If the "Add New Run" button is not visible, new runs can be added
using the "Add New Run Data" button near the top of the screen.
To complete the information on the "ITMRun Results" tab, it is suggested that the units for
"Cavg" be selected before selecting the calibration set or entering any system response
information. If you start entering data in the l\Start Time" field, you can use the tcib_ key to
progress through all data entry fields without using the mouse to change fields. If flow rate,
moisture percent, C02 concentration percent or 02 concentration percent have been documented
in the ERT by other tests, you can select the test and run ID using the drop down menu to
populate these fields. You should associate the test run data with the calibration gas set by
selecting the set from the "Set" pick list. Figure 70 shows the use of both the selection of other
stack test results for populating the stack parameter information and the use of the set pick list for
associating calibration sets with the test run. Enter the zero and upscale system responses for the
pre and post test calibrations. Then record the test run average concentration value measured by

Figure 74 - RATA results report
A "Relative Accuracy Results" report similar to Figure 74 - RATA results report will be produced if
the "Relative Accuracy Results" box is selected. This report includes the ERT calculated emissions
for the reference test method, the emissions the user entered for the CEMS, the differences between
the reference test method and the CEMS and the averages of each of the data selected for inclusion by
the user. Below the averages of the differences, the RATA results report presents the calculated
standard deviation, the confidence coefficient, the relative accuracy calculations using the reference
method and the relative accuracy calculations using the emissions standard. The descriptions to the left
of the calculations of the relative accuracy provide a summary of the acceptance criteria and when
they are to be applied. Above each of the calculated values for the ' Relative Accuracy Results ' report
is one of the mathematical symbols "< or =" or indicating the relative value of the relative
accuracy compared to the acceptance criteria.
t, amec -

-------
Chapter 5: Test Data Performance Specification Data
While the Relative Accuracy values are presented to more than two significant figures, the
symbols are assigned based upon the US EPA criteria for significant figures and rounding
conventions. The EPA conventions for calculating and reporting were clarified in a June 6, 1990
memorandum titled Performance Test Calculation Guidelines which is available at
http:-ffyvww.epa.sov/ttn/emc/informd/tid-024.pdf and reiterated in the Office of Compliances
National Stack Testing Guidance which is available at
httmff/www.eva.sov/compliance/resources/policies/monitorins/caa/stacktesting.iJi , Below the
descriptions and relative accuracy calculations are descriptions of the decision criteria used for
selecting the performance criteria calculation and a written statement comparing the calculated
results to the acceptance criteria. While Figure 74 presents calculations for all units of emissions,
a RATA for only one set of units will have printed results for only the units where there are
standards, calculated test results and CEM data.
Calibration Drift Results
Likewise, if the "Calibration Drift Results" box is selected, a report similar to Figure 75 -
Calibration Drift Results report will be produced. The "Calibration Drift Report includes the
measured responses for the daily calibrations at the low and high values, the differences between
the responses and the calibration standard for each day, and the percent of span that the
differences represent. Below the calibration drift results the report presents the criteria specified
in the performance specification for acceptance.

Completeness Check
The ERT provides a means for the stack test report writer, the source test company test reviewer, the
tested company representative and others to systematically review the ERT project data file for
completeness prior to the creation of the "Submission Package File" and submission to CEDRI. The
ERT checks those specific locations in the Project Data Set to determine whether text has been

Figure 82 - Completeness Check: Quality Assessment Questions
As shown in Figure 82, the "Quality Assessment Questions" are in the salmon colored column with
the ERT provided response in the next column. There are three groups of questions: The first group is
for information about the facility and general test report documentation; The second group is about
documentation of manual or isokinetic test methods; and the third group is about documentation of
instrumental test methods. Users can not change the questions. Nor can the user change the ERT
provided response. The user can cause a change in the response by entering information in the
required field or providing the supporting documentation in the attachments area. The "Completeness
Check" screen includes a "Note" providing general instructions for using this function of the ERT.
This screen also includes a column labeled ^Comment" where the Facility representative or their
contractor may provide supplementary information. Any comment(s) provided will not affect the
ERT's response to the question but may provide the Regulatory Agency Reviewer with information
that they may not otherwise know. The last column identifies what area of the ERT contains the
documentation necessary for assessing the proper response to the question. Clicking in the cell
identifying the ERT area will open the item identified. Once open, the information or attachment may
be reviewed, revised or added as necessary. You will not see a change in the response to the question
until you click in the "Update Completeness Answers" which will force the ERT to update the
responses.
A more detailed list of questions is available for State/local agencies to use as a checksheet for their
review of the test report. Users preparing the report for submission may use this more detailed list of
questions to more completely assess the completeness of the documentation provided to support the
representativeness, precision and accuracy of the test report. The preparer of the test report should not
respond to this more detailed list of questions as they are intended only for State/local agency source
test assessment.

This section of the ERT may be used by a person evaluating the proposed source test protocol and if
necessary identifying areas requiring improvement. Generally, if performed, the evaluation is
performed by a regulatory agency employee. Upon receipt of a completed test plan, the reviewer
(typically the state or other delegated authority) may access the database by selecting the appropriate
project data set (see Selecting a Project Data Set section for more information on selecting a project
data set) and clicking "Test Plan Review" in the "Test Plan Review" area of the "ERT Main Menu".
The test plan will be displayed in a split window that contains the test plan as submitted for review on
the left side and several areas with check boxes and buttons to access comment areas on the right side.
Each of the areas are associated with key elements of the test plan. The left side of the test plan
review is nearly identical with respect to the tabs identifying the type of information and the layout of
information contained on each tab area to the test plan. This provides an organized "step-through'
process for the test plan review.
Select "Fes" or "No" on each section based on whether the information provided is acceptable or not.
If ""AY/', click the "Add/View Comment"' button to explain why the information is not acceptable and
request what additional information is needed.
Upon completion, update the "Submittal History" and return the Project Data Set to the tester. (See
the Project Submittal Histon section for more information on how to update the history).

Figure 87 - QA - Stack Protocol Evaluation Calculations
In the "Protocol Evaluation Calculations" screen, select the "location " as "stack". The
calculations from the pre-selected data as provided in Item 6 will fill the orange fields. Currently
editable fields have white background. The calculations based on the data entered in the
"Regulations"LocationsMethod* and "Concentrations" areas of the test plan will till the
fields with gray background. Use the calculations to determine whether the state review is
accepted or not.
The red background of the USE' column under "Reporting Threshold Allowables" is the values
which the tester/reviewer should use in calculations of the selected method. This calculated value
is based on a New Jersey formula using the look-up values in the following columns.
Check the box if the test-run includes non-particulate traverse.

Chapter 6: Test Plan Review Test Plan Review
The editable fields beneath the comparison of EPA Method 25 vs. 25A determine the calculation
of the outlet ppm.
The editable fields in the "Metals" section include the run duration (hr), the front half sample
volume, and the back half sample volume. They directly affect the calculations in the gray boxes.
The columns beneath I CAP. AAS/CVAAS. "GFAAS" and "ICPMS" can have either a
green, yellow or red background. The green color indicates the estimates for the calculated values
fall within EPA measurement capabilities at the compliance limits. Red indicates that the
calculated values fall outside the EPA measurement capabilities at the compliance limits. Yellow
indicates there is a potential issue somewhere within the proposed test protocol or analytical
finish. It may indicate that the estimated values for the test run or analytical finish are close to the
measurement capabilities of the selected combination compared with the compliance limits.
The editable fields of organics & gases include the sample volume (L) and the impinger start
volume (mL). The changes affect the calculations for the parameter.
The fields below the calculations for inlet are as follows:

Figure 91 - Regulatory Assessment of Supporting Documentation - QAQ's
The "Regulatory Assessment of Supporting Documentation" is an extension of the "Completeness
Check" questions. The QAQ screen as shown in Figure 91 provides a check sheet to assist in the
assessment of the test report. While there may be several reasons for the assessment, one would be for
the regulator^' agency to be assured that the information contained in the report is sufficiently
complete, accurate and representative for the purposes which were intended. Unlike the
"Completeness Check." no answers have been selected. To determine the responses for the
"Completeness Checks the user of the QAQ screen can switch between the "Completeness Check"
questions and the "Regulatory Review" questions by clicking on the two tabs. Alternatively, the
screen can be expanded to show both the "Completeness Check" questions and the "Regulatory
Review " questions by selecting the "include Completeness Questions" box (in large red circle as
shown in Figure 92). The "Completeness Questions'' are highlighted with salmon colored shading
and include the ERT response. In some instances, the questions are identical to those which the ERT
provided a response based upon the presence of a response or attachment. However, while the ERT
only checks that information has been entered in the field or that an attachment has been provided, the
assessor can determine if that information provided meets the requirements for that item.

Upon receipt of a completed test report, you may access and review the data by selecting the
appropriate project data set (see the Selecting a Project Data Set for more information on selecting a
project data set) and clicking the "Emissions Results" button in the "Regulatory Agency Review '
area of the "ERT Main Menu'
The top part of the screen shows the applicable state and/ federal regulation for the test report as was
entered in Item 2 of the "Regulations Screen" of the test plan section of the ERT Main Menu".
As shown in Figure 95 - Test Report Review Screen, the ^Emissions Results" screen provides a
quick method to directly compare the measured emissions with the Regulatory requirements provided
in the "Setup/Test Plan" area of the ERT. As is evident in the figure, there is a limited amount of
detail associated with the test program and some additional review may be desirable for a proper
assessment of the representativeness, precision and accuracy of the values shown.
The bottom part of the screen shows the emissions for each compound.
Click on the record arrows in the bottom left of the screen to scroll through the compounds.
The columns are as follows:
Applicable State and Federal Regulations for this Test Report:

the drop down list of report types. Clicking the ~ to the right of the white rectangle, will open the
report types, such as the one shown in Figure 98 - Final Test Plan Report Print Preview Screen.
Selecting "Test Plan" from the menu will activate the four buttons below the menu selection field.
Hie four buttons are "View Report/Table on Screen," "Export Report/Table to Microsoft Word,"
"Export Report/Table to Microsoft Excel," and "Create PDF of Report/Table." By selecting
"View Report/Table on Screen" a ' Final Test Plan Report" like Figure 98 will be created and
opened on your desktop screen. You can adjust the location and size of the window and thus view the
produced report. You can also magnify the size of the report and scroll around the opened page. Since
only one page at a time is visible, you can see other pages of the report by clicking on the arrows at the
bottom left of the screen.
You can either press "Ctrl+P to print the pages to any of your available printers or you can close the
window and use one of the other three options. You can produce a Microsoft Word file which
approximates the document generated to the desktop screen. While the Word file may be edited to
improve the appearance or correct minor imperfections, the effort to produce a desired appearance
may not justify the extra effort required. You may also produce a Microsoft Excel file. This file row is
not formatted to produce the document previewed but separates the individual elements which are
printed into different column and rows. Lastly, you may produce an Acrobat PDF file which can be
emailed, or attached to the ERT as a time stamped file for documentary purposes.

Figure 99 - Agency Test Plan Review Comments Window
Selecting "Test Plan Review" produces a printed report that looks like Figure 99. While this report
may be mailed, emailed or attached to the ERT "Project Data Set" this information is included in the
PDS for use by both the person reviewing the plan and the preparer. While the size of the PDS of a
plan makes it amenable to send as an email attachment, some reviewers may wish to transmit their
review by paper or as a separate electronic file. If the agency returned the test plan comments in the
PDS, the tester can click on "Test Plan Review" in the "Printed Reports'' area of the "ERT Main
Menu '. Click on the "Test Plan Review" button to view the agency's comments on the test plan. No
fields are editable in the comments.

Completeness Questions
This data table contains the list of the "Completeness Questions" describing those components of a
manual test program and an instrumental test program. The ERT's assessment of the presence or
absence of each component is also provided along with any comments provided by the report preparer
concerning those components described in the question.
Regulatory Review Questions
This data table contains the list of "Regulatory Review Questions' which in addition to the
"Completeness Questions" include supplementary detail questions about the presence and quality of
components within those broad categories. The regulatory agency responses to the detail questions
are provided as well as any comments justifying or describing the response.
Relative Accuracy Results
Due to the complexity and variations in Relative Accuracy Tests the reports cannot be produced with
the current test report generator in the ERT. To produce a report of the RATA results, you should
open the Run Data area, select the Performance Specification to be printed from the "Select Location
-Method' area of the "Test Data Details^, then produce the report by selecting "Relative Accuracy
Results" at the bottom right of the screen. Once the report is shown on the screen, you can print the
report to any printer available from your computers print menu. You may also depress the right
mouse button then select "Export" and select one of the options. If available, selecting "PDF"
replicates the report on the screen. Selecting "Word RTF file" produces a file which when imported
into MS Word is usable but not easily edited to improved appearance.
The "Relative Accuracy Results' data table contains the reference test method results and the CEM
results in the emissions concentration, rate or fuel energy units specified in the reference test method
run data emissions and the CEM output, the arithmetic average of the runs performed, the individual
run differences between the two measurement systems, the arithmetic averages of the differences, the
standard deviations of the differences, the confidence coefficient of the differences, the relative
accuracy calculated using the reference method and the relative accuracy calculated using the
emissions standard.
Method 30B QA/QC
This data table includes the list of Method 30B runs that do not meet QA/QC specifications. The
report includes the stack run number, the specifications, and acceptance criteria.
