RULE §115.213Alternate Control Requirements

year is at least 90%. For each marine loading facility and any associated control device at the account, the report shall include the EPN, the FIN, the throughput of VOC with a true vapor pressure greater than or equal to 0.5 psia, but less than 11 psia, under actual storage conditions for the preceding calendar year, a plot plan showing the location, EPN, and FIN of each marine loading facility and any associated control device, and the controlled and uncontrolled emission rates for the preceding calendar year.

  (3) All representations in control plans and annual reports become enforceable conditions. It shall be unlawful for any person to vary from such representations if the variation will cause a change in the identity of the specific emission sources being controlled or the method of control of emissions unless the owner or operator of the marine terminal submits a revised control plan to the executive director, the appropriate regional office, and any local air pollution control program with jurisdiction no later than 30 days after the change. All control plans and reports shall demonstrate that the overall control of emissions at the marine terminal from the loading into marine vessels of VOC with a true vapor pressure greater than or equal to 0.5 psia, but less than 11 psia, under actual storage conditions continues to be at least 90%. The emission rates shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the most recent emissions inventory.

  (4) The loading of VOC with a true vapor pressure greater than 11 psia under actual storage conditions must be controlled by:

    (A) pressurized loading;

    (B) a vapor control system which maintains a control efficiency of at least 90%; or

    (C) a vapor balance system, as defined in §115.10 of this title.

  (5) A marine loading operation which, under the 90% control option of this subsection, is not required to control vapors caused by loading VOC into a marine vessel is likewise not required to comply with:

    (A) §115.212(a)(6)(B)-(D) of this title; or

    (B) §115.214(a)(3)(A), (B)(ii) and (iii), and (D) of this title.
