Emergency events include safety diversions greater than five minutes, detected LEL concentrations greater than forty per cent, low flow alarms, power loss, fire alarms, explosion suppression systems discharge, gashouse and thermal oxidizer safety system monitoring device fault and emergency stops (E-Stops). An EStop occurs when a gashouse operator shuts down the line due to an observed safety issue caused by the gashouse operation such as employee injury, damage to equipment, or operation problems such as shredding of cans. The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the emergency events.

(c) The VOC emissions for a safety diversion event shall be calculated based on the average concentration of the LEL detectors associated with the gashouse line, the flow rate of the gashouse line (measured with a mass flow meter), the propellant being filled, and the length of the event (seconds).

(d) The owner or operator shall calibrate the LEL detectors once per month following the manufacturer's protocol and shall check the flow meters once every six months for accuracy using a pilot tube.

(a) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to any gasoline dispensing facility which has a monthly gasoline throughput of less than ten thousand gallons per month or to any gasoline dispensing facility which is owned by an independent small business marketer and which has a monthly gasoline throughput of less than fifty thousand gallons per month. The monthly gasoline throughput shall be based upon the average monthly sales of gasoline during the period from November 16, 1990 through November 15, 1992; however, if a gasoline dispensing facility was inactive for any portion of this two year calculation period, the calculation period may be extended to include a total of twenty-four months of activity. This exemption shall cease to apply to a facility if during any calendar month after November 15, 1992, the gasoline throughput equals or exceeds ten thousand gallons or fifty thousand gallons, whichever is applicable. Furthermore, this exemption shall not apply to any facility which installed a vapor control system pursuant to paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule and the monthly gasoline throughput subsequently falls below ten thousand gallons per month or, if owned by an independent small business marketer, fifty thousand gallons per month.

(b) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to marinas and aircraft refueling stands.

(c) Paragraphs (DDD)(1)(a) and (DDD)(1)(b) of this rule that refer to a CARB certification shall not apply to any vapor control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant. In cases where it has been determined that the test procedures specified in paragraph (DDD)(2)(a)(i) or (DDD)(2)(a)(ii) of this rule are not appropriate for a vapor control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant, alternative test procedures may be employed and alternative testing deadlines may be established provided that written, prior approval has been obtained from the Ohio EPA.

(d) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to any motor vehicle fueling or refueling operation which is located at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant or heavier vehicle assembly facility and which, considered alone, has a monthly gasoline throughput of less than ten thousand gallons per month. Any gasoline dispensers located within two hundred feet from each other shall be considered as one operation for the purpose of this exemption.

(f) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to any gasoline dispensing facility where gasoline is dispensed to a fleet of motor vehicles in which ninety-five per cent or more of the fleet of motor vehicles being fueled with gasoline is equipped with onboard refueling vapor recovery. If the gasoline dispensing facility is located at a motor vehicle assembly plant, the fleet of produced motor vehicles being initially fueled with gasoline shall be considered separate from any fleet of motor vehicles being refueled with gasoline. The owner or operator of a gasoline dispensing facility claiming this exemption shall maintain records documenting that at least ninety-five per cent of the fleet of motor vehicle being fueled with gasoline are equipped with onboard refueling vapor recovery. These records shall be retained by the owner or operator for a period of not less than five years and shall be made available to the director or any authorized representative of the director for review.

[Comment: This exemption is appropriate for gasoline dispensing facilities located at a facility or site serving a known fleet of motor vehicle rental agency, governmental agency, or motor vehicle assembly plant.]

(g) "New gasoline dispensing facility" exemption.

(i) For the purposes of this rule, a "new gasoline dispensing facility" is defined as one of the following:

(a) A facility that has not been operated as a gasoline dispensing facility at the location and after October 1, 2012, new underground storage tank systems and dispensers are installed that are compatible with onboard vapor recovery systems in vehicles.

(b) A gasoline dispensing facility which exemption status has ceased under paragraph (DDD)(4)(a) of this rule, and does the following:

(i) Ensures that all existing dispensers, nozzles, hanging hardware, and piping above the shear valve are compatible with onboard vapor recovery systems in vehicles and replaces all existing hoses with low permeation hoses.

(ii) Conducts a leak test in accordance with the test procedures contained in paragraph (Q) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative Code to quantify the vapor tightness of the system. The system shall comply with the leak rate criteria specified in the test procedures.

(iii) Submits a certification statement, signed by an authorized representative, to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that confirms that the gasoline dispensing facility has complied with paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(i)(b) of this rule. The certification statement shall be submitted within thirty days after the leak test is conducted.

(ii) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to a "new gasoline dispensing facility" if the facility does both of the following:

(a) Installs low permeation hoses by October 1, 2013 or within thirty days of starting operations, whichever occurs later.

(b) Notifies Ohio EPA in writing that owner or operator intends to comply with the provisions of paragraph (DDD)(4)(g) of this rule by May 29, 2013 or the commencement of construction.

(5) Suspension of control:

(a) If, as a result of the development of a redesignation request prepared in accordance with requirements of the USEPA and Section 107(d)(3)(D) of the Clean Air Act contained in 42 USC 7407(d)(3)(D), the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is not necessary in an area to ensure the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and subsequently submits an official redesignation request to the USEPA for approval, the director may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in that area. This suspension shall remain in effect until a violation of the ambient air quality standard for ozone is measured in the area or the USEPA disapproves the redesignation request.

(b) The director also may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in the event that the USEPA promulgates or a federal court of last resort requires the USEPA to promulgate onboard (on-the-vehicle) refueling control standards pursuant to Section 202(a)(6) of the Clean Air Act contained in 42 USC 7521(a)(6), unless the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is necessary for the attainment or maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and this determination is issued by the director as final findings and orders subject to public hearing requirements. If the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is not required for the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone after the promulgation of onboard control requirements, the director may suspend the requirements of this paragraph.

(c) The director may extend the compliance date in paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(ii) of this rule to install low permeation hoses, if the director determines that the equipment is not readily available or if the equipment does not adequately control permeation.

(d) Beginning January 7, 2014, gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with stage II vapor control systems may start decommissioning the stage II vapor control systems in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) Not later than fourteen days prior to decommissioning the stage II vapor recovery system, notify Ohio EPA or the local air agency, in writing, that the gasoline dispensing facility intends to decommission the stage II vapor recovery system and on what date the decommissioning will occur.

(ii) Decommission the stage II vapor recovery system in accordance with the Petroleum Equipment Institute's guidance, "Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Refueling Sites, PEI/RP300."

(iii) Decommissioning shall be conducted in accordance with Petroleum Equipment Institute's guidance, "Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Refueling Sites, PEI/RP300," by professional technicians who have received appropriate training, have all of the required tools, and possess applicable regulatory or equipment-manufacturer certifications, if such certifications are available.

(iv) Prior to dispensing gasoline after the decommissioning has been completed, install low permeation hoses on all dispensers. Documentation of the use of low permeation hoses shall be retained for a period of not less than three years and shall be made available to the director or the director's authorized representative for review within seven business days of a request.

(v) Within thirty days after the decommissioning has been completed, apply for a permit-by-rule or permit-to-install and operate for the stage I system in accordance with Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Code and submit a certification statement, signed by an authorized representative, to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that confirms that the gasoline dispensing facility has been decommissioned in accordance with petroleum equipment institute's guidance, "Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Refueling Sites, PEI/RP300" and low permeation hoses have been installed on all dispensers.

[Comment: This rule specifies that, after decommissioning, a facility apply for either a permit-by-rule or permit-to-install and operate. In the event that Ohio EPA has not developed a permit-by-rule for decommissioned stage II facilities, the source owner or operator may apply for a permit-by-rule that conforms to the conditions of the appropriate permit-by-rule form consistent with the requirements of the rule. Ohio EPA will hold the applications in abeyance while the agency finalizes the amendments to rule 3745-31-03 of the Administrative Code to reflect the option of a decommissioned stage II facility.]

(e) No later than January 1, 2017, all gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with stage II vapor control systems shall have decommissioned the stage II vapor control systems in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph (DDD)(5)(d) of this rule. The director may extend this deadline one year on an individual gasoline dispensing facility basis, if the gasoline dispensing facility can demonstrate that it is technically infeasible to comply with paragraph (DDD)(5)(d) of this rule or can demonstrate substantial economic hardship that prevents the decommissioning. The gasoline dispensing facility shall receive written authorization from the director in order to extend the decommissioning deadline.

(EEE) Portable oil and gas sources. Portable oil and gas sources relocating to Butler, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Hamilton, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or Summit or Warren county may be subject to the USEPA CTG "Control Techniques Guidelines for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry." Sources subject to the requirements of this CTG shall submit an application for a federally enforceable installation permit in accordance with Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Code to incorporate applicable requirements of the CTG into a federally enforceable permit prior to relocation. The applicable requirements will be submitted to USEPA for incorporation into the Ohio state implementation plan.
