   5. (E) For the period May 1 through September 30, maintain the following records:

      1. (i) The VOC emitted each day.
      2. (ii) The cumulative total of VOC emitted.
      3. (iii) The sinter produced each operating day.

2. (2) In the event that the operating parameter exceeds the applicable value, submit to the department within thirty (30) days of the exceedance the following information:

   1. (A) The name and location of the source.
   2. (B) The information required in subdivision (1)(A) through (1)(D).
