system that will remove, destroy or prevent the discharge into the atmosphere
of at least 90% by weight of volatile organic compound emissions.
2. Achievement of the emission standard in
subsection A 1 of this section by use of methods in
9VAC5-40-460 A and E will be
acceptable to the board.
B. Air dryers and production equipment
exhaust systems.

facilities using volatile organic compounds with a vapor pressure less than 4.1
pounds per square inch absolute at 68°F.
D. Volatile organic compound storage.
1. No owner or other person shall use or
permit the use of any tank for storage of volatile organic compounds, unless
such tank is equipped with a vapor control system which will remove, destroy or
prevent the discharge into the atmosphere of at least 90% by weight of volatile
organic compound emissions.
2.
Achievement of the emission standard in subsection D 1 of this section by use
of control methods in
9VAC5-40-460 D and E will be
acceptable to the board.
3. The
provisions of subsection D of this section shall not be applicable to
