| (a) Purpose. The purpose of this subchapter is to provide a program that encourages and provides incentives for voluntary monitoring of components not subject to commission rules for leak detection and repair in effect on the date of detection, using remote sensing technologies, such as optical gas imaging technology. Participation under this subchapter is voluntary. Failure to comply with the requirements of this subchapter results in ineligibility for an incentive in §101.155 of this title (concerning Program Incentives). Failure to comply with any requirement of this subchapter is not a violation of a commission permit or rule subject to commission enforcement action. (b) Applicability. The following sources are eligible for participation in the program - any authorized equipment or facilities in VOC service, including processing, storage, and transfer: (1) that are not subject to a required fugitive monitoring program; or (2) where an alternative leak detection method is not the monitoring method required in a permit or rule. |
