Universal Citation: UT Admin Code R 307-501-4
Current through Bulletin 2024-06, March 15, 2024
(1) General requirements for prevention of emissions and use of good air pollution control practices.
(a) All crude oil, condensate, and
intermediate hydrocarbon liquids collection, storage, processing and handling
operations, regardless of size, shall be designed, operated and maintained so
as to minimize emission of volatile organic compounds to the atmosphere to the
extent reasonably practicable.
(b)
At all times, including periods of start-up, shutdown, and malfunction, the
installation and air pollution control equipment shall be maintained and
operated in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for
minimizing emissions.
(c)
Determination of whether or not acceptable operating and maintenance procedures
are being used will be based on information available to the director, which
may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, infrared camera images,
opacity observations, review of operating and maintenance procedures, and
inspection of the source.
(2) General requirements for air pollution control equipment.
(a) All air pollution
control equipment shall be operated and maintained pursuant to the
manufacturing specifications or equivalent to the extent practicable and
consistent with technological limitations and good engineering and maintenance
practices.
(b) The owner or
operator shall keep manufacturer specifications or equivalent on file.
(c) In addition, all such air
pollution control equipment shall be adequately designed and sized to achieve
the control efficiency rates established in rules or in approval orders issued
under R307-401 and to handle reasonably foreseeable fluctuations in emissions
of VOCs during normal operations. Fluctuations in emissions that occur when the
separator dumps into the tank are reasonably foreseeable.
