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.

Code, and a comprehensive written report on the results of the tests shall be
submitted to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency
within thirty days following the completion of the tests.
(d) At intervals not to exceed five years,
the owner or operator of the gasoline dispensing facility shall repeat and
demonstrate compliance with the tests specified in paragraph (DDD)(2) of this
rule.
(e) The director may require
the owner or operator of a gasoline dispensing facility to perform other tests
that have been authorized by the USEPA if such tests are necessary to
demonstrate the adequacy of a vapor control system.
(f) The owner or operator of the gasoline
dispensing facility shall perform and comply with any vapor control system
tests specified in the applicable CARB certification. The tests shall be
performed at the frequency specified in such certification.
(g) Any vapor control system test conducted
in accordance with the previous test procedures and specifications that were
effective on March 31, 1993 and subsequently amended or deleted may be used,
where appropriate, in lieu of the test procedures and specifications currently
contained in this rule, provided such vapor control system test was not
conducted after January 17, 1995.
(h) Any vapor control system required by
paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly
plant that has not been tested in accordance with paragraph (DDD)(2)(a) of this
rule as of January 17, 1995, shall be tested in accordance with paragraph
(DDD)(2)(a) of this rule by July 17, 1995.
(3) Recordkeeping:
(a) Any owner or operator of a gasoline
dispensing facility which is subject to paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall
maintain the following records:
(i) The
quantity of gasoline delivered to the facility during each calendar
month.
(ii) The results of any
tests performed pursuant to paragraph (DDD)(2) of this rule.
(iii) A log of the date and description of
all repair and maintenance work performed (including, but not limited to, work
performed to meet manufacturer's specifications or CARB certification
requirements), or any other modifications made to the vapor control
system.
(iv) A copy of the most
recent operating permit application (including emissions activity category form
or appendix form) submitted to the Ohio EPA.
(v) A copy of the most recent operating
permit issued by the Ohio EPA.

(b)
All records shall be retained by the owner or operator for a period of not less
than three years and shall be made available to the director or any authorized
representative of the director for review during normal business
hours.
(4) Exemptions:
(a) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not
apply to any gasoline dispensing facility which has a monthly gasoline
throughput of less than ten thousand gallons per month or to any gasoline
dispensing facility which is owned by an independent small business marketer
and which has a monthly gasoline throughput of less than fifty thousand gallons
per month. The monthly gasoline throughput shall be based upon the average
monthly sales of gasoline during the period from November 16, 1990 through
November 15, 1992; however, if a gasoline dispensing facility was inactive for
any portion of this two year calculation period, the calculation period may be
extended to include a total of twenty-four months of activity. This exemption
shall cease to apply to a facility if during any calendar month after November
15, 1992, the gasoline throughput equals or exceeds ten thousand gallons or
fifty thousand gallons, whichever is applicable. Furthermore, this exemption
shall not apply to any facility which installed a vapor control system pursuant
to paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule and the monthly gasoline throughput
subsequently falls below ten thousand gallons per month or, if owned by an
independent small business marketer, fifty thousand gallons per
month.
(b) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of
this rule shall not apply to marinas and aircraft refueling stands.
(c) Paragraphs (DDD)(1)(a) and (DDD)(1)(b) of
this rule that refer to a CARB certification shall not apply to any vapor
control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant. In cases
where it has been determined that the test procedures specified in paragraph
(DDD)(2)(a)(i) or (DDD)(2)(a)(ii) of this rule are not appropriate for a vapor
control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant, alternative
test procedures may be employed and alternative testing deadlines may be
established provided that written, prior approval has been obtained from the
Ohio EPA.
(d) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of
this rule shall not apply to any motor vehicle fueling or refueling operation
which is located at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant or heavier
vehicle assembly facility and which, considered alone, has a monthly gasoline
throughput of less than ten thousand gallons per month. Any gasoline dispensers
located within two hundred feet from each other shall be considered as one
operation for the purpose of this exemption.
(e) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not
apply to any gasoline dispensing pump that is used solely for the dispensing of
E85, a gasoline with an ethanol content of fifty-one to eighty-three per cent
by volume.
(f) Paragraph (DDD)(1)
of this rule shall not apply to any gasoline dispensing facility where gasoline
is dispensed to a fleet of motor vehicles in which ninety-five per cent or more
of the fleet of motor vehicles being fueled with gasoline is equipped with
onboard refueling vapor recovery. If the gasoline dispensing facility is
located at a motor vehicle assembly plant, the fleet of produced motor vehicles
being initially fueled with gasoline shall be considered separate from any
fleet of motor vehicles being refueled with gasoline. The owner or operator of
a gasoline dispensing facility claiming this exemption shall maintain records
documenting that at least ninety-five per cent of the fleet of motor vehicle
being fueled with gasoline are equipped with onboard refueling vapor recovery.
These records shall be retained by the owner or operator for a period of not
less than five years and shall be made available to the director or any
authorized representative of the director for review.
[Comment: This exemption is appropriate for gasoline dispensing
facilities located at a facility or site serving a known fleet of motor vehicle
rental agency, governmental agency, or motor vehicle assembly plant.]
(g) "New gasoline dispensing
facility" exemption.
(i) For the purposes of
this rule, a "new gasoline dispensing facility" is defined as one of the
following:
(a) A facility that has not been
operated as a gasoline dispensing facility at the location and after October 1,
2012, new underground storage tank systems and dispensers are installed that
are compatible with onboard vapor recovery systems in vehicles.
(b) A gasoline dispensing facility which
exemption status has ceased under paragraph (DDD)(4)(a) of this rule, and does
the following:
(i) Ensures that all existing
dispensers, nozzles, hanging hardware, and piping above the shear valve are
compatible with onboard vapor recovery systems in vehicles and replaces all
existing hoses with low permeation hoses.
(ii) Conducts a leak test in accordance with
the test procedures contained in paragraph (Q) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code to quantify the vapor tightness of the system. The system shall comply
with the leak rate criteria specified in the test procedures.
(iii) Submits 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 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.
(d) Beginning January
7, 2014, gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with stage II vapor control
systems may start decommissioning the stage II vapor control systems in
accordance with the following procedures:
(i)
Not later than fourteen days prior to decommissioning the stage II vapor
recovery system, notify Ohio EPA or the local air agency, in writing, that the
gasoline dispensing facility intends to decommission the stage II vapor
recovery system and on what date the decommissioning will occur.
(ii) Decommission the stage II vapor recovery
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."
(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," 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" 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) Portable oil and gas sources. Portable
oil and gas sources relocating to Butler, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Hamilton,
Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or Summit or Warren county may be subject to the
USEPA CTG "Control Techniques Guidelines for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry."
Sources subject to the requirements of this CTG shall submit an application for
a federally enforceable installation permit in accordance with Chapter 3745-31
of the Administrative Code to incorporate applicable requirements of the CTG
into a federally enforceable permit prior to relocation. The applicable
requirements will be submitted to USEPA for incorporation into the Ohio state
implementation plan.
