Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) No terminal
owner or operator, may allow VOCs to be emitted into the atmosphere in excess
of 80 milligrams of VOC per liter of gasoline loaded from the operation of
loading truck tanks, and truck trailers at bulk gasoline terminals with a daily
throughputs of greater than 76,000 liters (20,000 gallons) per day of gasoline,
determined by a thirty-day rolling average:
(a) The owner or operator of a gasoline
loading terminal must only allow the transfer of gasoline between the facility
and a truck tank or a truck trailer when a current leak test certification for
the delivery vessel is on file with the terminal or a valid permit as required
by OAR 340-232-0100(1)(c) is displayed on the delivery vessel;
(b) The owner or operator of a truck tank or
a truck trailer must not make any connection to the terminal's gasoline loading
rack unless the gasoline delivery vessel has been tested in accordance with OAR
340-232-0100(1);
(c) The truck
driver or other operator who fills a delivery truck tank and/or trailer tank
must not take on a load of gasoline unless the vapor return hose is properly
connected;
(d) All equipment
associated with the vapor balance system must be maintained to be vapor tight
and in good working order.
(2) Compliance with section (1) must be
determined by testing in accordance with Method 33 on file with DEQ. [NOTE:
This Method is in the DEQ Source Sampling Mnaual published at OAR
340-200-0035.] The method for determining compliance with section (1) are
delineated in 40 CFR part 60, subpart XX, §60.503.
(3) Bulk Gasoline terminals must comply with
the following within the limits of section (1):
(a) All displaced vapors and gases during
tank truck gasoline loading operations must be vented only to the vapor control
system;
(b) The loading device must
not leak when in use. The loading device must be designed and operated to allow
no more than 10 cubic centimeters drainage per disconnect on the basis of 5
consecutive disconnects;
(c) All
loading liquid lines must be equipped with fittings which make vapor-tight
connections and which close automatically and immediately when
disconnected;
(d) All vapor lines
must be equipped with fittings which make vapor-tight connections and which
close automatically and immediately when disconnected or which contain vapor
tight unidirectional valves;
(e)
Gasoline must be handled in a manner to prevent its being discarded in sewers
or stored in open containers or handled in any manner that would result in
evaporation. If more than 5 gallons are spilled, the operator must report the
spillage in accordance with OAR 340-214-0300 through 340-214-0350;
(f) The vapor balance system must be operated
in a manner to prevent the pressure therein from exceeding the tank truck or
trailer pressure relief settings.
