S.C. Code Regs. 61-79.261.BB.1063 - Test methods and procedures
(a) Each remanufacturer or other person that
stores or treats the hazardous secondary material subject to the provisions of
this subpart shall comply with the test methods and procedures requirements
provided in this section.
(b) Leak
detection monitoring, as required in sections 261.1052 through 261.1062, shall
comply with the following requirements:
(1)
Monitoring shall comply with Reference Method 21 in 40 CFR part 60.
(2) The detection instrument shall meet the
performance criteria of Reference Method 21.
(3) The instrument shall be calibrated before
use on each day of its use by the procedures specified in Reference Method
21.
(4) Calibration gases shall be:
(i) Zero air (less than ten (10) ppm of
hydrocarbon in air).
(ii) A mixture
of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of approximately, but less
than, ten thousand (10,000) ppm methane or n-hexane.
(5) The instrument probe shall be traversed
around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as
described in Reference Method 21.
(c) When equipment is tested for compliance
with no detectable emissions, as required in sections 261.1052(e), 261.1053(i),
261.1054, and 261.1057(f), the test shall comply with the following
requirements:
(1) The requirements of
paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section shall apply.
(2) The background level shall be determined
as set forth in Reference Method 21.
(3) The instrument probe shall be traversed
around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as
described in Reference Method 21.
(4) The arithmetic difference between the
maximum concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level is
compared with five hundred (500) ppm for determining compliance.
(d) A remanufacturer or other
person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material must determine,
for each piece of equipment, whether the equipment contains or contacts a
hazardous secondary material with organic concentration that equals or exceeds
ten (10) percent by weight using the following:
(1) Methods described in ASTM Methods D
2267-88, E 169-87, E 168-88, E 260-85 (incorporated by reference under section
260.11);
(2) Method 9060A
(incorporated by reference under section 260.11) of "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste," EPA Publication SW-846, for computing total organic
concentration of the sample, or analyzed for its individual organic
constituents; or
(3) Application of
the knowledge of the nature of the hazardous secondary material stream or the
process by which it was produced. Documentation of a material determination by
knowledge is required. Examples of documentation that shall be used to support
a determination under this provision include production process information
documenting that no organic compounds are used, information that the material
is generated by a process that is identical to a process at the same or another
facility that has previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to have a
total organic content less than ten (10) percent, or prior speciation analysis
results on the same material stream where it can also be documented that no
process changes have occurred since that analysis that could affect the
material total organic concentration.
(e) If a remanufacturer or other person that
stores or treats the hazardous secondary material determines that a piece of
equipment contains or contacts a hazardous secondary material with organic
concentrations at least ten (10) percent by weight, the determination can be
revised only after following the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this
section.
(f) When a remanufacturer
or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material and the
Department do not agree on whether a piece of equipment contains or contacts a
hazardous secondary material with organic concentrations at least ten (10)
percent by weight, the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section
can be used to resolve the dispute.
(g) Samples used in determining the percent
organic content shall be representative of the highest total organic content
hazardous secondary material that is expected to be contained in or contact the
equipment.
(h) To determine if
pumps or valves are in light liquid service, the vapor pressures of
constituents may be obtained from standard reference texts or may be determined
by ASTM D-2879-86 (incorporated by reference under section 260.11).
(i) Performance tests to determine if a
control device achieves ninety-five (95) weight percent organic emission
reduction shall comply with the procedures of section 261.1034(c)(1) through
(4).
