ABSTRACT

The privatized Stationary Source Audit Sample (SSAS) program began shipping audit samples on June 6, 2013. The data reported to date has shown a significantly higher failure rate than for other SSAS audits. The sampling, analysis, and acceptance limits for this audit are being evaluated. The results of this evaluation and identification of potential issues with EPA Method 8 audits will be presented.
