Post to Public Hearing: Chapter 111 Petroleum Liquid Storage Vapor Control******************************************~********************************* ./ 

# Statutory and Regulatory Reference:

Title 38 M.R.S.A. Section 585-A, Establishment of Standards

- This statutory section provides that the Board of Environmental Protection "may establish and amend regulations to implement ambient air quality standards and emission standards. These regulations shall be designed to achieve and maintain ambient air quality standards and emission standards within any region and prevent air pollution".

Location/Applicabilitv:

Statewide

Description:

EPA requires petroleum storage vessels to be inspected every five or ten years depending on the type of system, with inspections required every ten years for single seal systems and every five years for double seal systems. Tank inspections, which involve the degassing and refilling of a storage tank, cause VOCs to be emitted to the**atmospher~.·** 

# VOCs contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone. Decreasing the inspection frequency from annually to every five or ten years reduces the overall VOC emissions emitted from this activity. Air emission licenses currently require this inspection schedule so this change in the rule makes it consistent with current Bureau of Air Quality licensing requirements
