7) Documentation supporting the delay of repair of a valve in compliance with Section 721.959(c).

8) The signature of the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material (or designate) whose decision it was that repair could not be effected without a hazardous secondary material management unit shutdown.

10) The date of successful repair of the leak.

e) Design documentation and monitoring, operating, and inspection information for each closed-vent system and control device required to comply with the provisions of Section 721.960 must be recorded and kept up-to-date at the facility, as specified in Section 721.935(c). Design documentation is specified in Section 721.935(c)(1) and (c)(2) and monitoring, operating, and inspection information in Section 721.935(c)(3) through (c)(8).

f) For a control device other than a thermal vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater, condenser, or carbon adsorption system, the Agency must specify in writing the appropriate recordkeeping requirements.

g) The following information pertaining to all equipment subject to the requirements in Sections 721.952 through 721.960 must be recorded in a log that is kept at the facility:

1) A list of identification numbers for equipment (except welded fittings) subject to the requirements of this Subpart BB.

2) List of Equipment.
A) A list of identification numbers for equipment that the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material elects to designate for no detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background, under the provisions of Sections 721.952(e), 721.953(i), and 721.957(f).

B) The designation of this equipment as subject to the requirements of Sections 721.952(e), 721.953(i), or 721.957(f) must be signed by the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material.

3) A list of equipment identification numbers for pressure relief devices required to comply with Section 721.954(a).

4) Compliance Tests.
A) The dates of each compliance test required in Sections 721.952(e), 721.953(i), 721.954, and 721.957(f).

If the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material takes any action (e.g., changing the process that produced the material) that could result in an increase in the total organic content of the material contained in or contacted by equipment determined not to be subject to the requirements in Sections 721.952 through 721.960, then a new determination is required.

l) Records of the equipment leak information required by subsection (d) and the operating information required by subsection (e) need be kept only three years.

m) The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material at a facility with equipment that is subject to this Subpart BB and to regulations in 40 CFR 60(St and ards of Performance for New Stationary Sources), 61 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants), or 63 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, may elect to determine compliance with this Subpart BB either by documentation pursuant to Section 721.964, or by documentation of compliance with the regulations in 40 CFR 60, 61, or 63 pursuant to the relevant provisions of the regulations in 40 CFR 60, 61, or 63. The documentation of compliance under regulations in 40 CFR 60, 61, or 63 must be kept with or made readily available at the facility.

BOARD NOTE: 415 ILCS 5/9.1(b) and (d) make the federal new source performance standards and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants directly applicable in Illinois and prohibit operation of an emission source without a permit issued by the Agency. The Agency issues permits that incorporate the federal new source performance standards and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants pursuant to 415 ILCS 5/39.5.
