(a) A safety diversion is the venting of
gasser operations directly to ambient air, instead of being vented to the
thermal incinerator, in order to meet requirements of NFPA 30B: "Code for the
Manufacturing and Storage of Aerosol Products." A safety diversion occurs when
any of the lower explosive limit (LEL) detectors in the gashouse detects a
concentration between twenty per cent and forty per cent of the LEL. Under a
safety diversion, as described in NFPA 30B, Section 5.4.2(E), the ventilation
rate of the affected gashouse line is quickly increased, the gashouse line is
vented immediately to ambient air (i.e. thermal incinerator is bypassed), and
production activities usually continue. Safety diversion events are less than
five minutes and shall be included in the determination of compliance with the
monthly VOC emission limitation of 0.75 pound VOC per thousand aerosol cans
produced. A safety diversion event is not be a malfunction under paragraph (B)
of rule
3745-15-06
of the Administrative Code.
(b) An
emergency event is a condition that shuts down the line, releases propellant in
the gasser to atmosphere and vents the gashouse directly to ambient air,
instead of being vented to the thermal incinerator as required by NFPA 30B,
Section 5.12. Emergency events include safety diversions greater than five
minutes, detected LEL concentrations greater than forty per cent, low flow
alarms, power loss, fire alarms, explosion suppression systems discharge,
gashouse and thermal oxidizer safety system monitoring device fault and
emergency stops (E-Stops). An EStop occurs when a gashouse operator shuts down
the line due to an observed safety issue caused by the gashouse operation such
as employee injury, damage to equipment, or operation problems such as
shredding of cans. The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the
emergency events.
(c) The VOC
emissions for a safety diversion event shall be calculated based on the average
concentration of the LEL detectors associated with the gashouse line, the flow
rate of the gashouse line (measured with a mass flow meter), the propellant
being filled, and the length of the event (seconds).
(d) The owner or operator shall calibrate the
LEL detectors once per month following the manufacturer's protocol and shall
check the flow meters once every six months for accuracy using a pilot tube.

appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that confirms that the
gasoline dispensing facility has complied with paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(i)(b) of
this rule. The certification statement shall be submitted within thirty days
after the leak test is conducted.
(ii) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall
not apply to a "new gasoline dispensing facility" if the facility does both of
the following:
(a) Installs low permeation
hoses by October 1, 2013 or within thirty days of starting operations,
whichever occurs later.
(b)
Notifies Ohio EPA in writing that owner or operator intends to comply with the
provisions of paragraph (DDD)(4)(g) of this rule by May 29, 2013 or the
commencement of construction.
(5) Suspension of control:
(a) If, as a result of the development of a
redesignation request prepared in accordance with requirements of the USEPA and
Section 107(d)(3)(D) of the Clean Air Act contained in
42 USC
7407(d)(3)(D), the director
determines that the stage II vapor control program is not necessary in an area
to ensure the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and
subsequently submits an official redesignation request to the USEPA for
approval, the director may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in that
area. This suspension shall remain in effect until a violation of the ambient
air quality standard for ozone is measured in the area or the USEPA disapproves
the redesignation request.
(b) The
director also may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in the event that
the USEPA promulgates or a federal court of last resort requires the USEPA to
promulgate onboard (on-the-vehicle) refueling control standards pursuant to
Section 202(a)(6) of the Clean Air Act contained in
42
USC 7521(a)(6), unless the
director determines that the stage II vapor control program is necessary for
the attainment or maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and
this determination is issued by the director as final findings and orders
subject to public hearing requirements. If the director determines that the
stage II vapor control program is not required for the maintenance of the
ambient air quality standard for ozone after the promulgation of onboard
control requirements, the director may suspend the requirements of this
paragraph.
(c) The director may
extend the compliance date in paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(ii) of this rule to install
low permeation hoses, if the director determines that the equipment is not
readily available or if the equipment does not adequately control
permeation.

system in accordance with the Petroleum Equipment Institute's guidance,
"Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems
at Vehicle Refueling Sites,
PEI/RP300-09
PEI/RP300."
(iii) Decommissioning shall be conducted in
accordance with Petroleum Equipment Institute's guidance, "Recommended
Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle
Refueling Sites,
PEI/RP300-09
PEI/RP300," by professional technicians who have
received appropriate training, have all of the required tools, and possess
applicable regulatory or equipment manufacturer certifications, if such
certifications are available.
(iv)
Prior to dispensing gasoline after the decommissioning has been completed,
install low permeation hoses on all dispensers. Documentation of the use of low
permeation hoses shall be retained for a period of not less than three years
and shall be made available to the director or the director's authorized
representative for review within seven business days of a request.
(v) Within thirty days after the
decommissioning has been completed, apply for a permit-by-rule or
permit-to-install and operate for the stage I system in accordance with Chapter
3745-31 of the Administrative Code and submit a certification statement, signed
by an authorized representative, to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or
local air agency that confirms that the gasoline dispensing facility has been
decommissioned in accordance with petroleum equipment institute's guidance,
"Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems
at Vehicle Refueling Sites,
PEI/RP300-09
PEI/RP300" and low permeation hoses have been
installed on all dispensers.
[Comment: This rule specifies that, after decommissioning, a
facility apply for either a permit-by-rule or permit-to-install and operate. In
the event that Ohio EPA has not developed a permit-by-rule for decommissioned
stage II facilities, the source owner or operator may apply for a
permit-by-rule that conforms to the conditions of the appropriate
permit-by-rule form consistent with the requirements of the rule. Ohio EPA will
hold the applications in abeyance while the agency finalizes the amendments to
rule
3745-31-03
of the Administrative Code to reflect the option of a decommissioned stage II
facility.]
(e)
No later than January 1, 2017, all gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with
stage II vapor control systems shall have decommissioned the stage II vapor
control systems in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph
(DDD)(5)(d) of this rule. The director may extend this deadline one year on an
individual gasoline dispensing facility basis, if the gasoline dispensing
facility can demonstrate that it is technically infeasible to comply with
paragraph (DDD)(5)(d) of this rule or can demonstrate substantial economic
hardship that prevents the decommissioning. The gasoline dispensing facility
shall receive written authorization from the director in order to extend the
decommissioning deadline.
(EEE)
