SECTION 2: STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

Standard terms and conditions are administrative and/or other requirements that typically 

have no ongoing compliance monitoring requirements. The permittee must comply with the 

requirements listed below. All listed terms and conditions are federally enforceable 

unless identified as a “state only” requirement. A requirement designated “state only” is 

enforceable only by the state or the NWAPA, and not by EPA or through citizen suits. Unless 

the text of the term is specifically identified to be directly enforceable, the language of the cited 

regulation takes precedence over a paraphrased requirement. A permit condition labeled 

“Directly Enforceable” is a legal requirement and the permit shield in condition 2.3.1 of this 

permit applies to the condition. 

2.1 Compliance Requirements

2.1.1 Duty to Comply

 

2.1.1.1 WAC 173-401-620(2)(a) (10/4/93) 

The permittee shall comply with all terms and conditions of this permit. Any 

permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of RCW 70.94 and, for federally 

enforceable provisions, a violation of the FCAA. Such violations are grounds for 

enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and re-issuance, or 

modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application. 

 2.1.1.2 NWAPA 322.3 (11/12/99)

It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a source that is subject to the 

requirements of Chapter 173-401 WAC without complying with the provisions of 

Chapter 173-401 WAC and any permit issued under its authority. 

 

2.1.2 Civil and Criminal Penalties

2.1.2.1 WAC 173-400-230(2) (2/17/93), WAC 173-400-240 (2/19/91), NWAPA 

132 & 133 (10/13/94), and Section 113 of the FCAA

 Civil and criminal penalties may be issued in accordance with the applicable 

regulations listed above. 

2.1.2.2 State Only: NWAPA 132 (3/13/97) and NWAPA 133 (07/14/01)

Civil and criminal penalties may be issued in accordance with the applicable 

regulations listed above. Under this “State Only” version of NWAPA 132, 

criminal penalties may be assessed on a “per day, per violation” basis. Civil 

penalty amounts in NWAPA 133 have increased from those included in the 

10/13/94 version.

 

12
 2.1.3 Need to Halt or Reduce Activity Not a Defense 

WAC 173-401-620(2)(b) (10/4/93)

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would 

have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain 

compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. 

2.1.4 Duty to Provide Information 

WAC 173-401-620(2)(e) (10/4/93)

The permittee shall furnish to the NWAPA, within a reasonable time, any 

information that the NWAPA may request in writing to determine whether cause 

exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit or to 

determine compliance with the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also 

furnish to the NWAPA copies of records required to be kept by the permit or, for 

information claimed to be confidential, the permittee may furnish such records 

directly to the EPA Administrator along with a claim of confidentiality. The 

NWAPA shall maintain confidentiality of such information in accordance with 

RCW 70.94.205 and the NWAPA Regulation. 

2.1.5 Confidential Information 

 2.1.5.1 NWAPA 114.1 (4/14/93)

 Whenever the permittee requests that records or information eligible for 

confidentiality status be made confidential by the Board of Directors of the 

NWAPA, the NWAPA shall maintain confidentiality of such information in 

accordance with NWAPA 114. The records or information shall be only for the 

confidential use of the Board, the Advisory Council, and NWAPA staff, but may 

not be accessed if, in the opinion of the Board, there is a conflict of interest. 

2.1.5.2 State Only: NWAPA 114.1 (3/13/97)

Whenever any records or other information other than ambient air quality data or 

emission data furnished to or obtained by the Authority, relates to processes or 

production unique to the owner or operator, or are likely to affect adversely the 

competitive position of such owner or operator if released to the public or to a 

competitor, and the owner or operator of such processes or production so

decision-making authority in an enforcement action that excess emissions were 

unavoidable. Excess emissions determined to be unavoidable under the 

procedures and criteria of this section shall be excused and not subject to 

penalty. 

Excess emissions which represent a potential threat to human health or safety or 

which the owner or operator of the source believes to be unavoidable shall be 

reported to ecology or the NWAPA as soon as possible. Other excess emissions 

shall be reported within thirty days after the end of the month during which the 

event occurred or as part of the routine emission monitoring reports. Upon 

request by ecology or the NWAPA, the permittee shall submit a full written report 

including the known causes, the corrective actions taken, and the preventive 

measures to be taken to minimize or eliminate the chance of recurrence. 

Excess emissions due to startup or shutdown shall be considered unavoidable 

provided the source reports as required and adequately demonstrates that the 

excess emissions could not have been prevented through careful planning and 

design and if a bypass of control equipment occurs, that such bypass is 

necessary to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage. 

Excess emissions due to scheduled maintenance shall be considered 

unavoidable provided the source reports as required and adequately 

demonstrates that the excess emissions could not have been prevented through 

reasonable design, better scheduling for maintenance or through better operation 

and maintenance practices. 

Excess emissions due to upsets shall be considered unavoidable provided the 

source reports as required and adequately demonstrates that: 

(a) The event was not caused by poor or inadequate design, operation, 

maintenance, or any other reasonably preventable condition; 

25
(b) The event was not of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, 

operation, or maintenance; and 

(c) The permittee took immediate and appropriate corrective action in a 

manner consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing 

emissions during the event, taking into account the total emissions impact of 

the corrective action, including slowing or shutting down the emission unit as 

necessary to minimize emissions, when the operator knew or should have 

known that an emission standard or permit condition was being exceeded. 

2.4.9.2 State Only: NWAPA 340.4(2/8/96), 341.4(2/8/96) and 342.4 

(3/13/97)

Excess emissions due to breakdowns and upsets shall be considered 

unavoidable provided the source adequately demonstrates that: 

(i) The event was not caused by poor or inadequate design, operation, 

maintenance, or any other reasonably preventable condition. 

(ii) The event was not of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, 

operation, or maintenance; and 

(iii) The permittee took immediate and appropriate corrective action in a manner 

consistent with good air pollution control practice. 

(iv) The emissions did not result in a violation of an ambient air quality standard. 

Excess emissions due to shutdown or startup shall be considered unavoidable

subject to such standard, or reconstructs a source such that the source becomes 

an affected source subject to the standard, must notify the Administrator of the 

39
intended construction or reconstruction. The notification must be submitted in 

accordance with the precedures in 63.9(b). 

The owner or operator of an affected source that has an initial startup before the 

effective date of a relevant standard under this part shall notify the Administrator 

in writing that the source is subject to the relevant standard. The notification, 

which shall be submitted not later than 120 calendar days after the effective date 

of the relevant standard (or within 120 calendar days after the source becomes 

subject to the relevant standard), shall provide the following information:

(i) A notification of intention to construct a new major-emitting affected source, 

reconstruct a major-emitting affected source, or reconstruct a major source 

such that the source becomes a major-emitting affected source with the 

application for approval of construction or reconstruction as specified in 

63.5(d)(1)(i); and 

(ii) A notification of the actual date of startup of the source, delivered or 

postmarked within 15 calendar days after that date. 

Any change in the information provided under this section shall be provided to 

the Administrator in writing within 15 calendar days after the change. 

3.3.4 Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Reports 

Title 40 CFR 63.10(b)(2) and (d)(5) (4/5/02)

If actions taken by an owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction of an affected source (including actions taken to correct a 

malfunction) are consistent with the procedures specified in the source’s startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP), the owner or operator shall state such 

information in a SSMP report. Reports shall only be required if a startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction occurred during the reporting period, and they must 

include the number, duration, and a brief description of each startup, shutdown, 

40
or malfunction. The report shall consist of a letter, containing the name, title, and 

signature of the owner or operator or other responsible official who is certifying its 

accuracy, that shall be submitted to the NWAPA semiannually (or on a more 

frequent basis if specified otherwise in a relevant standard). The report shall be 

delivered or postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar half 

(or other calendar reporting period, as appropriate). If the owner or operator is 

required to submit excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 

performance (or other periodic) reports under this part, the startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction reports required under this paragraph may be submitted 

simultaneously with the other reports. 

Any time an action taken by an owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) is not consistent 

with the procedures specified in the affected source’s SSMP, the owner or 

operator shall report the actions taken for that event within 2 working days after 

commencing actions inconsistent with the pan followed by a letter within 7 

working days after the end of the event. The immediate report required under 

this paragraph shall consist of a telephone call (or a facsimile transmission) to 

the NWAPA within 2 working days after commencing actions inconsistent with 

the plan, and it shall be followed by a letter, delivered or postmarked within 7 

working days after the end of the event, that contains the name, title, and 

signature of the owner or operator or other responsible official who is certifying its 

accuracy, explaining the circumstances of the event, the reasons for not following 

the SSMP, and whether any excess emission and/or parameter monitoring 

exceedences are believed to have occurred. 

3.3.5 Prohibited Activities and Circumvention 

Title 40 CFR 63.4(4/5/02) 

No owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part must operate any 

affected source in violation of the requirements of this part. Affected sources 

subject to and in compliance with either an extension of compliance or an 

exemption from compliance is not in violation of the requirements of this part. An 

extension of compliance can be granted by the Administrator under this part; by a 

State with an approved permit program; or by the President under section 

112(i)(4) of the Act. 

No owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall fail to keep 

records, notify, report, or revise reports as required under this part. 

No owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall build, erect, 

install, or use any article, machine, equipment, or process to conceal an emission 

that would otherwise constitute noncompliance with a relevant standard. Such 

concealment includes, but is not limited to – 

(i) The use of diluents to achieve compliance with a relevant standard based on 

41
the concentration of a pollutant in the effluent discharged to the atmosphere; 

(ii) The use of gaseous diluents to achieve compliance with a relevant standard 

for visible emissions. 

Fragmentation after November 15, 1990 which divides ownership of an 

operation, within the same facility among various owners where there is no real 

change in control, will not affect applicability. The owner and operator must not 

use fragmentation or phasing of reconstruction activities (i.e., intentionally 

dividing reconstruction into multiple parts for purposes of avoiding new source 

requirements) to avoid becoming subject to new source requirements. 

3.3.6 Operation and Maintenance 

40 CFR part 63.6(e)(1), and (e)(2) (4/5/02)

At all times, including periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, owners or 

operators shall operate and maintain any affected source, including associated 

air pollution control and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety 

and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the 

levels required by all relevant standards, i.e., meet the emission standard or 

comply with the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP). 

Malfunctions shall be corrected as soon as practicable after their occurrence in 

accordance with the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. To the extent that 

an unexpected event arises during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction, an owner 

or operator must comply by minimizing emissions during such an event 

consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices. 

3.3.7 Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan 

40 CFR part 63.6(e)(3) (4/5/02)

The owner or operator of an affected source must develop and implement a 

written startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP) that describes, in detail, 

procedures for operating and maintaining the source during periods of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction; a program of corrective action for malfunctioning 

process; and air pollution control and monitoring equipment used to comply with 

the relevant standard. This plan shall be developed by the source’s compliance 

date for the relevant standard. 

During periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, the owner or operator an 

an affected source must operate and maintain such source (including associated 

air pollution control and monitoring equipment) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in the SSMP. 

When actions taken by an owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, or 

42
malfunction (including actions taken to correct a malfunction) are consistent with 

the procedures specified in the affected source’s SSMP, the owner or operator 

must keep records for that event which demonstrate that the procedures 

specified in the plan were followed. These records may take the form of a 

“checklist” or other effective form of recordkeeping that confirms conformance 

with the SSMP for that event. In addition, the owner or operator must keep 

records of these events as specified in 63.10(b). Furthermore, the owner or 

operator shall confirm that actions taken were consistent with the SSMP in the 

semiannual (or more frequent) startup, shutdown and malfunction report required 

in 63.10(d)(5). 

If an action taken by the owner or operator during a startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction (including an action taken to correct a malfunction) is not consistent 

with the procedures specified in the affected source’s SSMP, and the source 

exceeds the relevant emission standard, then the owner or operator must record 

the actions taken for that event and must report such actions within 2 working 

days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, followed by a letter 

within 7 working days after the end of the event, in accordance with 63.10(d)(5) 

(unless the owner or operator makes alternative reporting arrangements, in 

advance, with the Administrator). 

The owner or operator must maintain at the affected source a current SSMP and 

must make the plan available upon request for inspection and copying by the 

NWAPA. In addition, if the SSMP is subsequently revised, the owner or operator 

must maintain at the affected source each previous (i.e., superceded) version of 

the SSMP, and must make each such previous version available for inspection 

and copying by the NWAPA for a period of 5 years after revision of the plan. If at 

any time after adoption of a SSMP the affected source ceases operation or is 

otherwise no longer subject to the provisions of this part, the owner or operator 

must retain a copy of the most recent plan for 5 years from the date the source 

ceases operation or is no longer subjec to this part and must make the plan 

available upon reques for inspection and copying by the NWAPA. 

To satisfy the requirements of this section to develop a SSMP, the owner or 

operator may use the affected source’s standard operating procedures (SOP) 

manual, or an Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA) or other 

plan, provided the alternative plans meet all the requirements of this section and 

are made availabe for inspection when requested by the NWAPA. 

Based on the results of a determination made under paragraph 63.6(e)(2) of this 

section, the Administrator may require than an owner or operator of an affected 

source make changes to the SSMP for that source. The NWAPA may require 

reasonable revisions to a SSMP if the NWAPA finds that the plan: 

(i) Does not address a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event that has 

occurred; 

(ii) Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including associated air 

43
pollution control and monitoring equipment) during a startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction event in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution 

control practices for minimizing emissions to the levels required by the 

relevant standards; 

(iii) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting malfunctioning process 

and/or air pollution control and monitoring equipment as quickly as 

practicable; or 

(iv) Includes an event that does not meet the definition of startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction listed in 63.2. 

If the SSMP fails to address or inadequately addresses an event that meets the 

characteristics of a malfunction but was not included in the SSMP, the plan shall 

be revised within 45 days after the event to include detailed procedures for 

operating and maintaining the source during similar malfunction events and a 

program of corrective action for similar malfunctions of process or air pollution 

control and monitoring equipment. 

3.3.8 Compliance With Nonopacity Emission Standards 

40 CFR part 63.6(f) (4/5/02)

The nonopacity emission standards set forth in this part shall apply at all times 

except during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, and as otherwise 

specified in an applicable subpart. 

3.3.9 Compliance With Opacity and Visible Emission Standards 

40 CFR part 63.6(h) (4/5/02)

The opacity and visible emission standards set forth in this part shall apply at all 

times except during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, and as 

otherwise specified in an applicable subpart. 

The owner or operator shall make available, upon request by the NWAPA, such 

records that the NWAPA deems necessary to determine the conditions under 

which the visual observations were made and shall provide evidence indicating 

proof of current visible observer emission certification. 

3.3.10 Extension of Compliance for Early Reductions and Other Reductions 

40 CFR part 63.6(i)(4/5/02) and 63.9(c) (4/5/02)

44

Until a compliance extension has been granted by the NWAPA under this 

paragraph, the owner or operator of an affected source subject to the 

requirements of this section shall comply with this part’s applicable requirements. 

A compliance extension may be possible if it meets 63.6(i)(4) and 63.6(i)(6). 
45

 3.3.11 Conduct of Performance Tests 

40 CFR part 63.7(e) (4/5/02)

Performance tests shall be conducted during normal operating conditions which 

does not include periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. Emissions in 

excess of the level of the relevant standard during periods of startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction shall not be considered a violation of the relevant standard 

unless otherwise specified in the relevant standard or a determination of 

noncompliance is made under 63.6(e).

SHELL ANACORTES REFINERY 

Introduction

This monitoring plan describes procedures to be followed whenever propane is, or is about to be, utilized as a fuel in Bgas-fired generators permitted under OAC #769b. This plan, for conformance with New Source Performance Standarddeveloped as an alternative to the installation of a continuous analyzer to measure either: a) the sulfur content of the fuoxide content of boiler flue gas. Standard

Definitions of fuels

New Source Performance Standards, Subpart J (40 CFR 60-100) for Petroleum Refineries stipulates that the sulfur oxiwill not exceed 20 ppmv (3-hour average) or that the H2S content of refinery fuel gas shall not exceed 0.10 gr/dscf (3-h

relative to the monitoring plan discussed below, is equivalent to 116 ppmw sulfur in propane. 

Finished propane: Non-odorized propane. This is the propane stream anticipated to be utilized most frequeCommercial propane: Finished propane to which odorant, ethyl mercaptan, has been added for placeme

182
Commercial propane, relative to use at F-753, includes product produced at the Refinery as well as product purchased 

distributors. The latter, irrespective of supplier, is presumed to be a petroleum refinery product and thus subject to this Purchased commercial propane when received at the Anacortes Refinery is stored in the same vessels used to store oproduct. Commercial propane (own-produced or purchased) would be utilized at F-753 under a variety of circumstances includin

high price of natural gas (relative to propane); interruption in propane sales; or, required boiler operation during refinery ups. Sampling of commercial propane storage vessels is carried out at a frequency of about once every 4 to 6 hours as part of the Refinery quality assurance program. No product is released from storage for sales prior to compverification of quality, including sulfur; in this case for assurance that enough sulfur (ethyl mercaptan) has been added fcommercial sales. Compliance

Compliance with NSPS Subpart J, for combustion of propane at Boiler F-753, will be achieved through periodic monitobeing fueled. Refinery-produced commercial propane, which is higher in sulfur content than finished propane, will be ufinished propane stream. Test Methods to be Utilized

1) Shell Method: SMS 217-82 Method Title: "Hydrogen Sulphide, Mercaptans and Carbonyl Sulphide in Gases". 

Attached are: - an Addendum to SMS 217-82 listing the local variations to the Method at Anacortes Refin

- a copy of Method SMS 217-82 - a copy of Method SMS 304-82 (referenced in Method 217-82). 

Method SMS 217-82, as carried out at the Anacortes Refinery, provides results in ppmw of sulfur expressed as ethyl mcarried out on-site. 

183
For perspective, the Subpart J Standard of 0.1 grains hydrogen sulfide p

er dscf equals 116 ppmw sulfur in propane. 

Note: As long as Method SMS 217-82 test results are less than 225 ppmw sulfur as ethyl mercaptan (i.e., less than 

the concentr

ation of hydrogen sulfide cannot be greater than 0.1 gr/dscf (116 ppmw sulfur). 

2) ASTM Method: D-2420 

Method Title: "Standard Test Method for Hydrogen Sulfide in Liquified Petroleum Gas

es (Lead Acetate Method)

Attached is: - a copy of ASTM D-2420 Method D-2420 provides qualitative indication of H2S presence (sensitivity of 1 ppmv), is carried o

ut on-site in the field. 

For perspective, the Subpart J Standard of 0.1 gr H2S per dscf equals 160 ppmv sulfur in propane.
