A stack test is a procedure for sampling a gas stream from a single sampling location at a facility, unit, or pollution control equipment. It is used to determine a pollutant emission rate, concentration, or parameter while the facility, unit, or pollution control equipment is operating at conditions that result in the measurement of the highest emission or parameter values (prior to any control device) or at other operating conditions approved by the state agency or the U.S. EPA. |

A test is comprised of three (3) sampling runs for a specified sampling time span. Additional conditions may be required by applicable rules, permit, or enforcement order. The testing shall be performed using sampling and analytical procedures approved by the department or the U.S. EPA for the specific pollutant or parameter and facility, unit, pollution control equipment, process, or operation. A Stack Test is also known as an “Emission Test”, “Source Sampling Test”, “Compliance Test”, or “Performance Test”.
