{longname} Q750. Will EPA approve the use of Subpart W Best Available Monitoring Methods (BAMM) relating to the measurement of compressor vents routed to flare? Some reporters interpret 40 CFR § 98.233(o) to require facilities which cannot isolate a compressor from the flare header to shut down and depressurize the entire facility to safely install ports or meters to enable measurement. {longname} |

Facilities approved to use BAMM are still required to use the calculation methodologies and equations in § 98.233, and must comply with the reporting requirements in § 98.236.
