Ohio Admin. Code 3750-30-27 - Threshold quantities for hazardous chemical reporting
(A) Except as
provided in paragraph (C) of this rule the minimum threshold quantity for
reporting under rules
3750-30-15
and
3750-30-20
of the Administrative Code shall be according to the following schedule:
The owner or operator of a facility subject to rule
3750-30-01
of the Administrative Code shall submit a list as defined in paragraph (B) of
rule
3750-30-15
of the Administrative Code or MSDS
(1) On or
before October 17, 1989, (or three months after the facility first becomes
subject to this rule), for all hazardous chemicals present at the facility in
amounts equal to or exceeding ten thousand pounds, or that are extremely
hazardous substances present at the facility in an amount equal to or exceeding
five hundred pounds (or fifty-five gallons) or the threshold planning quantity,
whichever is less.
(2) On or after
January 1, 2001 for gasoline or diesel fuel located at a retail gas station
when one or more of the following are met:
(a)
Amounts of gasoline equal to or exceeding seventy-five thousand gallons (all
grades combined).
(b) Amounts of
diesel fuel equal to or exceeding one hundred thousand gallons (all combined
grades).
(c) Fuel stored in tanks
that were not entirely underground.
(d) Tanks located at a retail gas station
that were not in compliance at all times during the preceding calendar year
with all applicable underground storage tank requirements contained in Chapter
1301:7-9 of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: For the purposes of this rule, retail gas station means a retail facility engaged in selling gasoline or diesel fuel principally to the public, for motor vehicle use on land.]
(B) The owner or operator of a
facility subject to paragraph (A) of this rule shall submit an inventory form
as follows:
(1) On or before March 1, 1988,
(or March first of the first year after the facility first becomes subject to
this rule covering all hazardous chemicals present at the facility during the
preceding calendar year in amounts equal to or greater than ten thousand
pounds, or that are extremely hazardous substances present at the facility in
an amount greater than or equal to five hundred pounds (or fifty-five gallons)
or the threshold planning quantity, whichever is less.
(2) On or before March 1, 1989, (or March
first of the second year after the facility first becomes subject to this
rule), covering all hazardous chemicals present at the facility during the
preceding calendar year in amounts equal to or greater than ten thousand
pounds, or that are extremely hazardous substance present at the facility in an
amount greater than or equal to five hundred pounds (or fifty-five gallons) or
the threshold planning quantity, whichever is less.
(3) On or after January 1, 2001, covering
gasoline or diesel fuel located at a retail gas station when one or more of the
following are met:
(a) Amounts of gasoline
equal to or exceeding seventy-five thousand gallons (all combined
grades).
(b) Amounts of diesel fuel
equal to or exceeding one hundred thousand gallons (all grades
combined).
(c) Fuel stored in tanks
that were not entirely underground.
(d) Tanks located at a retail gas station
that was not in compliance at all times during the preceding calendar year with
all applicable underground storage tank requirements contained in Chapter
1301:7-9 of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: For purposes of this rule, retail gas station means a retail facility engaged in selling gasoline or diesel fuel principally to the public, for motor vehicle use on land.]
(C) The minimum threshold for reporting in
response to a facility specific, chemical specific request for the submission
of an MSDS
SDS
as prescribed in paragraph (E) of rule
3750-30-15
of the Administrative Code or an inventory form containing Tier II information
as prescribed in paragraph (H) of rule
3750-30-20
of the Administrative Code shall be zero. Where the commission or committee is
responding to a request subject to section
3750.10
of the Revised Code, all requirements of that section shall be met. No such
facility specific, chemical specific request under this section shall be used
to calculate fees assessable under rule
3750-50-01
of the Administrative Code or to expand the content or scope of the map
described in paragraphs (F)(4) and (H) (7) of rule
3750-30-20
of the Administrative Code.
(D) The
owner or operator of a facility may calculate the amount of a hazardous
chemical present at a facility and meet the hazardous chemical reporting
requirements of rule
3750-30-20 (inventory
reporting) of the Administrative Code and rule
3750-30-15 (list
or MSDS
SDS
reporting) of the Administrative Code for a hazardous chemical that is a
mixture by either of the following:
(1)
Determining the quantities and providing the required information on each
component in the mixture which is a hazardous chemical.
(2) Determining the quantities and providing
the required information on the mixture itself, so long as the reporting of
mixtures by a facility under rule
3750-30-15
of the Administrative Code is in the same manner as under rule
3750-30-20
of the Administrative Code where practicable.
(E) The calculation of the threshold
quantities present in a mixture shall be performed as follows:
(1) If the reporting is on each component of
the mixture which is a hazardous chemical, then the concentration of the
hazardous chemical, in weight per cent (greater than one per cent or 0.1 per
cent if carcinogenic) shall be multiplied by the mass (in pounds) of the
mixture to determine the quantity of the hazardous chemical in the
mixture.
(2) If the reporting is on
the mixture, the total quantity of the mixture shall be reported.
(3) If extremely hazardous substances are
hazardous components of a mixture, the quantity of the extremely hazardous
substance in each mixture shall be aggregated to determine if the threshold
value has been reached for the facility. Reporting may be
accomblished
accomplished by reporting on the component or the
mixture even if the amount of the mixture is below the reporting threshold.
Aggregation of non-extremely hazardous substances present in mixtures and in
pure form is not required, but may be done if a facility is reporting all
hazardous chemicals in mixtures by component.
