material from the equipment being controlled; and
C) The delivery vessel displays the
appropriate sticker pursuant to the requirements of Section
219.584(b) or (d)
of this Part; and
3) By March 15, 1995, all tank vent pipes are
equipped with pressure/vacuum relief valves with the following design

2) Promptly notify the owner of any scheduled
maintenance or malfunction requiring replacement or repair of a major component
of a vapor control system;
3)
Maintain gauges, meters or other specified testing devices in proper working
order;
4) Operate the vapor

prevents:
A) A reading equal to or greater
than 100 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL measured as propane) when
tested in accordance with the procedure described in EPA 450/2-78-051 Appendix
B incorporated by reference at Section
219.112
of this Part, and
B) Avoidable
