Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Except as otherwise provided in LAC 33:V.1501, owners
and operators of facilities that have process vents to which LAC 33:V. Chapter
17. Subchapter A applies must provide the following additional
information.
A. Facilities that cannot
install a closed-vent system and control device to comply with the provisions
of LAC 33:V. Chapter 17. Subchapter A, on the effective date that the facility
becomes subject to the provisions of LAC 33:V.Chapter 17.Subchapter A, and
Chapter 43.Subchapter Q, must provide an implementation schedule as specified
in LAC 33:V.1709.A.2.
B.
Documentation of compliance with the process vent standards in LAC 33:V.1707
must be provided, including:
1. information
and data identifying all affected process vents, annual throughput, and
operating hours of each affected unit, estimated emission rates for each
affected vent and for the overall facility (i.e., the total emissions for all
affected vents at the facility), and the approximate location within the
facility of each affected unit (e.g., identify the hazardous waste management
units on a facility plot plan);
2.
information and data supporting estimates of vent emissions and emission
reduction achieved by add-on control devices based on engineering calculations
or source tests. For the purpose of determining compliance, estimates of vent
emissions and emission reductions must be made using operating parameter values
(e.g., temperatures, flow rates, or concentrations) that represent the
conditions that exist when the waste management unit is operating at the
highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur;
3. information and data used to determine
whether or not a process vent is subject to the requirements of LAC
33:V.1707.
C. Owners or
operators who apply for permission to use a control device other than a thermal
vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater,
condenser, or carbon adsorption system to comply with the requirements of LAC
33:V.1707, and choose to use test data to determine the organic removal
efficiency or the total organic compound concentration achieved by the control
device must provide a performance test plan as specified in LAC
33:V.1713.B.3.
D. Documentation of
compliance with LAC 33:V.1709 must be provided, including:
1. a list of all information references and
sources used in preparing the documentation;
2. records including the dates of each
compliance test required by LAC 33:V.1709.K;
3. a design analysis, specifications,
drawings, schematics, and piping and instrumentation diagrams based on the
appropriate sections of "APTI Course 415: Control of Gaseous Emissions," as
incorporated by reference at LAC 33:V.110, or other engineering texts
acceptable to the administrative authority that present basic control device
information. The design analysis shall address the vent stream characteristics
and control device operation parameters as specified in LAC
33:V.1713.B.4.c;
4. a statement
signed and dated by the owner or operator certifying that the operating
parameters used in the design analysis reasonably represent the conditions that
exist when the hazardous waste management unit is or would be operating at the
highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur;
5. a statement signed and dated by the owner
or operator certifying that the control device is designed to operate at an
efficiency of 95 weight percent or greater unless the total organic emission
limits of LAC 33:V.1707.A for affected process vents at the facility can be
attained by a control device involving vapor recovery at an efficiency less
than 95 weight percent.
