401 KAR 61:055 - Existing loading facilities at bulk gasoline terminals
RELATES TO: KRS Chapter 224
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
KRS
224.10-100 requires the Environmental and
Public Protection
Section
1. Applicability. The provisions of this administrative regulation
shall apply to each affected facility commenced before the classification date
defined below which is located:
(2) In any county which is designated
nonattainment or unclassified under
401 KAR
51:010 and is a part of a major source of volatile
organic compounds.
Section
2. Definitions. As used in this administrative regulation, all
terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in
401 KAR
50:010.
(1) "Affected
facility " means the facilities at a bulk gasoline terminal for loading gasoline
into tank trucks, trailers, railroad cars, or other nonmarine mobile
vessels.
(2) "Bulk gasoline
terminal" means a facility for the storage and dispensing of gasoline where
incoming gasoline loads are received by pipeline, marine tanks or barge, and
where outgoing gasoline loads are transferred by tank trucks, trailers,
railroad cars or other nonmarine mobile vessels.
(3) "Gasoline" means any petroleum distillate
used as a fuel for internal combustion engines and having a Reid vapor pressure
of four (4.0) pounds per square inch or greater.
(4) "Classification date" means June 29,
1979.
Section 3. Standard
for Volatile Organic Compounds.
(1) No owner
or operator of any loading facility shall load gasoline unless such facility is
equipped with a vapor control system which is in good working order and in
operation.
(2) Loading shall be
accomplished in such a manner that all displaced vapor and air will be vented
only to the vapor collection system. Measures shall be taken to prevent liquid
drainage from the loading device when it is not in use or to accomplish
complete drainage before the loading device is disconnected.
(3) No owner or operator shall permit the
volatile organic compound emissions from the vapor control device to exceed
eighty (80) milligrams per liter of gasoline loaded.
(4) No owner or operator shall open tank
hatches or allow hatches to be opened at any time during loading operations if
bottom-fill is practiced. If top-submerged fill is practiced, the hatch is to
be opened the minimum time necessary to install and remove the submerged fill
pipe and associated vapor collection equipment.
(5) No owner or operator shall permit
gasoline to be spilled, discarded in sewers, stored in open containers, or
handled in any other manner that would result in evaporation.
(6) No owner or operator of a bulk gasoline
terminal in an urban county subject to this administrative regulation shall
allow loading on or after December 1, 1982, unless the following provisions are
met:
(a) The vapor control system and
associated equipment are designed and operated to prevent gauge pressure in the
tank truck from exceeding 450 mm water (eighteen (18) in. water) and prevent
vacuum from exceeding 150 mm water (six (6) in. water);
(b) A pressure tap or any equivalent system
as approved by the cabinet is installed on the vapor collection system so that
a liquid manometer, supplied by the cabinet , can be connected by an inspector
to the tap in order to determine compliance with paragraph (a) of this
subsection. The pressure tap shall be installed by the owner or operator as
close as possible to the connection with the delivery tank, and shall consist
of a one-quarter (1/4) inch tubing connector which is compatible with the use
of three-sixteenths (3/16) inch inside diameter plastic tubing;
(c) During loading operations there is no
reading greater than or equal to 100 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL,
measured as propane) at a distance of two and five-tenths (2.5) centimeters
around the perimeter of a potential leak source associated with the vapor
collection system of a bulk gasoline terminal as detected by a combustible gas
detector using the test procedure referenced in Section 5 of this
administrative regulation; and
(d)
The tank truck has a valid Kentucky pressure-vacuum test sticker as required by
401 KAR
63:031 attached and visibly
displayed.
Section
4. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. The owner or operator
shall conduct such monitoring of operations and submit records as specified by
the cabinet .
Section 5. Compliance.
(1) The design of the vapor control system is
subject to the approval of the cabinet .
(2) The test procedure as defined in Appendix
A to "Control of Hydrocarbons from Tank Truck Gasoline Loading Terminals,"
EPA -450/2-77-026, (OAQPS No. 1.2-082, U.S. EPA , Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards), filed by reference in
401 KAR
50:015, shall be used to determine compliance with the
standard in Section 3 of this administrative regulation. Each bulk gasoline
terminal subject to this administrative regulation shall use leak-tight tank
trucks for the compliance test. For purposes of testing using Appendix A to
"Control of Hydrocarbons from Tank Truck Gasoline Loading Terminals"
(EPA-450/2-77-026), a leak-tight tank truck is one (1) that during loading has
no reading greater than or equal to 100 percent of the lower explosive limit
(LEL, measured as propane) at a distance of two and five-tenths (2.5)
centimeters around the perimeter of a potential leak source associated with the
gasoline tank truck and its vapor collection system as detected by a
combustible gas detector using the test procedure referenced in subsection (3)
of this section.
(3) The test
procedure as defined in Appendix B to "Control of Volatile Organic Compound
Leaks from Gasoline Tank Trucks and Vapor Collection Systems" (OAQPS 1.2-119,
U.S. EPA , Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards), filed by reference in
401 KAR
50:015, or an equivalent procedure approved by the
cabinet , shall be used by the cabinet to determine compliance with the standard
prescribed in Section 3(6)(c) of this administrative regulation during
inspections conducted pursuant to
KRS
224.10-100(10) and with the
requirements of subsection (2) of this section.
Section 6. Compliance Timetable. The owner or
operator of an affected facility shall be required to complete the following:
(1) Submit a final control plan for achieving
compliance with this administrative regulation no later than September 1,
1979.
(2) Award the control system
contract no later than January 1, 1980.
(3) Initiate on-site construction or
installation of emission control equipment no later than July 1,
1980.
(4) On-site construction or
installation of emission control equipment shall be completed no later than
March 1, 1981.
(5) Final compliance
shall be achieved no later than December 31, 1982.
