The owner or operator of each volatile organic compound (VOC)
loading or unloading operation in the covered attainment counties
or in the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Bexar County, Dallas-Fort Worth, El
Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, shall maintain the following
information for at least two years at the plant, as defined by its
air quality account number. The owner or operator shall make the information
available upon request to representatives of the executive director,
EPA, or any local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction
in the area.
(1) Vapor control systems. For vapor control systems
used to control emissions from VOC transfer operations, records of
appropriate parameters to demonstrate compliance, including:
(A) continuous monitoring and recording of:
(i) the exhaust gas temperature immediately downstream
of a direct-flame incinerator;
(ii) the inlet and outlet gas temperature of a chiller
or catalytic incinerator;
(iii) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of a carbon
adsorption system, as defined in §101.1 of this title (relating
to Definitions); and
(iv) the exhaust gas temperature immediately downstream
of a vapor combustor. Alternatively, the owner or operator of a vapor
combustor may consider the unit to be a flare and meet the requirements
of subparagraph (B) of this paragraph;
(B) the requirements specified in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations §60.18(b) and Chapter 111 of this title (relating
to Control of Air Pollution from Visible Emissions and Particulate
Matter) for flares; and
(C) for vapor control systems other than those specified
in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph, records of appropriate
operating parameters.
(2) Test results. A record of the results of any testing
conducted in accordance with §115.215 of this title (relating
to Approved Test Methods).
(3) Land-based VOC transfer to or from transport vessels.
(A) A daily record of:
(i) the identification number of each tank-truck tank
for which annual leak testing is required under §115.214(a)(1)(C)
or (b)(1)(C) of this title (relating to Inspection Requirements);
(ii) the quantity of VOC loaded into each transport
vessel; and
(iii) the date of the last leak testing of each tank-truck
tank as required by §115.214(a)(1)(C) or (b)(1)(C) of this title.
(B) A record of the type and vapor pressure of each
VOC transferred (excluding gasoline). Vapor pressure records are not
required if the total volume of VOC loaded into transport vessels
is less than 20,000 gallons per day (averaged over each consecutive
30-day period).
(C) The owner or operator of any plant, as defined
by its air quality account number, at which all VOC transferred has
a true vapor pressure at actual storage conditions less than 0.5 pounds
per square inch, absolute (psia) as specified in §115.217(a)(1)
of this title (relating to Exemptions) or 1.5 psia as specified in §115.217(b)(1)
of this title, is not required to keep the records specified in subparagraph
(A) of this paragraph.
(D) The owner or operator of any plant, as defined
by its air quality account number, that is exempt under §115.217(a)(2)(A)
or (B), or §115.217(b)(3)(A) or (B) of this title based upon
gallons per day transferred shall maintain a daily record of the total
throughput of gasoline or of VOC equal to or greater than 0.5 or 1.5
psia vapor pressure, as appropriate, loaded into transport vessels
at the plant.
(E) For gasoline terminals, records of the results
of the fugitive monitoring and maintenance program required by §115.214(a)(2)
and (b)(2) of this title:
(i) a description of the types, identification numbers,
and locations of all equipment in gasoline service;
(ii) the date of each monthly inspection;
(iii) the results of each inspection;
(iv) the location, nature, severity, and method of
detection for each leak;
(v) the date each leak is repaired and explanation
if repair is delayed beyond 15 days;
(vi) a list identifying those leaking components which
cannot be repaired or replaced until a scheduled unit shutdown; and
(vii) the inspector's name and signature.
(4) Marine terminals. For marine terminals in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria
area:
(A) a daily record of all marine vessels loaded at
the affected terminal, including:
(i) the name, registry of the marine vessel, and the
legal owner or operator of the marine vessel;
(ii) the chemical name and amount of VOC cargo loaded;
and
(iii) the conditions of the tanks prior to being loaded
(i.e., cleaned, crude oil washed, gas freed, etc.) and the prior cargo
carried by the marine vessel;
(B) a copy of each marine vessel's vapor tightness
test documentation or records documenting compliance with the alternate
methods specified in §115.214(a)(3)(A) of this title;
(C) a copy of each marine vessel's first attempt repair
log required by §115.214(a)(3)(D) of this title;
(D) records of the results of the fugitive monitoring
and maintenance program required by §115.214(a)(3)(F) of this
title, including appropriate dates, test methods, instrument readings,
repair results, and corrective action taken. Records of flange inspections
are not required unless a leak is detected.
