Copies of the test methods  may  be inspected at the Lansing office of the air quality division of the department of environmental quality. A copy of title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 60, appendix A, may be obtained from the Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality  Division,  P.0.   Box 30260, Lansing, Michigan 48909 7760, at a cost at the time of adoption  of  these   rules of $67.00; from the  Superintendent   of  Documents,  United  States  Government Printing Office, P.O. Box 979050, St. Louis, Missouri 63197-9000, at  a  cost at the time of adoption of these rules of $57.00; or on the United States government printing office internet web site at http://www.gpoaccess.gov.

(3)       All  alternatives  that  are  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  administrator in the adopted federal reference methods are subject to the approval of the department.

(4)        Determinations of  compliance   with  visible  emission  standards  for stationary sources shall be conducted as specified in reference test method 9 or other alternative method approved by the department, with the  following exceptions:

(a)        Visible emissions from a scarfing  operation   at  a  steel  manufacturing facility shall be determined as specified in reference test method 9A, which is described in R 336.2030.

(b)       Visible emissions from a coke oven pushing operation and fugitive coke oven visible emissions shall be determined as specified in reference test method 9B, which is described in R 336.2031.
