A.
Requirements for co-located dry
cleaners
1 Beginning on June 24, 2009,
no new or relocated perchloroethylene dry cleaning system may be installed in a
co-located facility.
2 Any new or
relocated dry cleaning system located in a building with a residence which
commenced construction on or after December 21, 2005 must comply with
40
C.F.R. Parts
63.320(b)(2)
and
63.320(b)(3)
as amended up to July 19, 2013.
3
After December 21, 2020, all co-located dry cleaners must completely eliminate
perchloroethylene use and remove all perchloroethylene dry cleaning equipment
from the building.
B.
Control Technology Requirements for Sources Installed after June 2,
1991. All dry cleaning systems installed after June 2, 1991, must
install, operate, and maintain a refrigerated condenser system which reduces
perchloroethylene emissions to no more than 100 parts per million by volume
(ppmv) before dilution measured at a distance of no greater than 3 feet from
the dry-cleaning drum. These dry cleaning systems must comply with the
Compliance Methods and Monitoring Requirements in section 5 of this
Chapter.
C.
Control
Technology Requirements for Sources Installed after February 12, 1997.
All dry cleaning systems installed after February 12, 1997,
must install operate, and maintain a refrigerated condenser system with a
carbon adsorber which reduces perchloroethylene emissions to no more than 100
parts per million by volume (ppmv) before dilution measured at a distance of no
greater than 3 feet from the dry-cleaning drum. These dry cleaning systems must
comply with the Compliance Methods and Monitoring Requirements in section 5 of
this Chapter.
D.
Control Technology Requirements for Sources Installed after December 21, 2005.
All dry cleaning systems installed after December 21, 2005
must route the air-perchloroethylene gas-vapor stream contained within each dry
cleaning machine through a refrigerated condenser and pass the
air-perchloroethylene gas-vapor stream from inside the dry cleaning machine
drum through a non-vented carbon adsorber or equivalent control device which
reduces perchloroethylene emissions to no more than 100 parts per million by
volume (ppmv) before dilution measured at a distance of no greater than 3 feet
from the dry-cleaning drum immediately before the door of the dry cleaning
machine is opened. These dry cleaning systems must comply with the Compliance
Methods and Monitoring Requirements in section 5 of this Chapter.
E.
Control Technology
Requirements for Sources Installed on or before June 2, 1991. All dry
cleaning systems installed on or before June 2, 1991 must be equipped with one
of the following control devices on or before October 1, 1991.
1
Option A, Carbon Adsorber
System. A carbon adsorber which reduces perchloroethylene emissions to
no more than 100 parts per million by volume (ppmv) before dilution measured at
a distance of no greater than 3 feet from the dry-cleaning drum. The carbon
adsorber shall not be bypassed at any time allowing perchloroethylene to be
vented directly to the atmosphere. The carbon adsorber shall be monitored in
accordance with subsection 5(A) of this Chapter.
2
Option B, Refrigerated Condenser
System. A refrigerated condenser system which reduces perchloroethylene
emissions to no more than 100 parts per million by volume (ppmv) before
dilution measured at a distance of no greater than 3 feet from the dry-cleaning
drum must be installed on a dry-to-dry machine and reclaimer, The condenser
shall be monitored in accordance with subsection 5(B) of this
Chapter.
3
Option C, Other
Devices Approved by the Department and EPA. Any other equally effective
control device as approved by the Commissioner of the Department and EPA,
pursuant to
40 CFR
63.325.
F. The installation and use of any other type
of perchloroethylene dry cleaning system including transfer machines, is
strictly prohibited.
G.
General Maintenance Performance Standard Requirements. All new and
existing dry cleaners shall comply with the following requirements:
1 Filtration cartridges must be drained in
the filter housing for at least 24 hours pursuant to
40 CFR
Part
63.322(i), or as
approved by the Commissioner of the Department and EPA. When any filtration
cartridge is removed from the filter housing, it must be placed in a sealed
container which does not allow the solvent in the filter to be emitted to the
atmosphere, and must be disposed in accordance with state and federal
requirements;
2 All
perchloroethylene and perchloroethylene containing waste must be stored in
tightly sealed containers so that no perchloroethylene is emitted to the
atmosphere;
3 All facilities must
maintain the system as to prevent the leaking of perchloroethylene liquid, and
prevent perchloroethylene vapor losses greater than 25 ppmv from gaskets,
seals, ducts, and ancillary equipment.
a
Except as provided in subsection 3(G)(3)(c) of this Chapter, all leaks of
perchloroethylene liquid or vapor must be repaired within 24 hours of
detection.
b Except as provided in
subsection 3(G)(3)(c) of this Chapter, if temperature, concentration of
perchloroethylene, or other parameters required to be monitored in Section 4 of
this Chapter do not meet the values or conditions specified, adjustments or
repairs must be made within 24 hours of detection.
c If repair parts are not available at the
facility, the parts must be ordered within two working days of detection. Such
repair parts must be installed as soon as possible but no later than five
working days after receipt.
d
Equipment with a leak that has not been repaired by the end of the fifteenth
working day after detection must not be operated until the leak is
repaired;
4 The owner or
operator shall close the door of each dry cleaning machine immediately after
transferring garments to or from the machine, and shall keep the door closed at
all other times;
5 The owner or
operator of each dry cleaning system shall operate and maintain the system in
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations;
and
6 The owner or operator must
develop and implement a written startup, shutdown and malfunction plan that
describes, in detail, procedures for operating and maintaining the source
during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction; a program of corrective
action for malfunctioning process; and air pollution control and monitoring
equipment used to comply with the standard.
