Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES › Division 10 - Air Conservation Commission › Chapter 2 - Air Quality Standards and Air Pollution Control Rules Specific to the Kansas City Metropolitan Area › Section 10 CSR 10-2.260 - Control of Emissions During Petroleum Liquid Storage, Loading, and Transfer

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule restricts volatile organic
				  compound emissions from the handling of petroleum liquids in three (3) specific
				  areas: petroleum storage tanks with a capacity greater than forty thousand
				  (40,000) gallons, the loading of gasoline into delivery vessels, and the
				  transfer of gasoline from delivery vessels into stationary storage containers.
				  Exemptions are provided for facilities that make transfers into stationary
				  storage containers of certain sizes and types. This rule is necessary to reduce
				  hydrocarbon emissions in the Kansas City metropolitan area that contribute to
				  the formation of ozone.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has
				  determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is
				  incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome
				  or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be

				  of the rule is printed here.
(1) Applicability. This rule applies
				throughout Clay, Jackson, and Platte Counties.
(2) Definitions.
(A) CARB-California Air Resources
				Board.
(B) Cargo tank-A delivery
				tank truck or railcar which is loading gasoline or which has loaded gasoline on
				the immediately previous load.
(C)
				Condensate (hydrocarbons)-A hydrocarbon liquid separated from natural gas which
				condenses due to changes in the temperature or pressure, or both, and remains
				liquid at standard conditions.
(D)
				Crude oil-A naturally occurring mixture consisting of hydrocarbons and sulfur,
				nitrogen, or oxygen derivatives of hydrocarbons (or a combination of these
				derivatives), which is a liquid at standard conditions.
(E) Custody transfer-The transfer of produced
				crude oil or condensate, or both, after processing or treating, or both, in the
				producing operations, from storage tanks or automatic transfer facilities to
				pipelines, or any other forms of transportation.
(F) Delivery vessel-A tank truck, trailer, or
				railroad tank car.
(G)
				Department-Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
(H) External floating roof-A storage vessel
				cover in an open top tank consisting of a double deck or pontoon single deck
				which rests upon and is supported by petroleum liquid being contained and is
				equipped with a closure seal(s) to close the space between the roof edge and
				tank wall.
(I) Gasoline-A petroleum
				liquid having a Reid vapor pressure four pounds (4 lbs) per square inch or
				greater.
(J) Gasoline dispensing
				facility (GDF)-Any stationary facility which dispenses gasoline into the fuel
				tank of a motor vehicle and is not-
1. A
				gasoline distribution facility; or
2. A manufacturer of new motor vehicles
				performing initial fueling operations dispensing gasoline into newly assembled
				motor vehicles equipped with on board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) at an
				automobile assembly plant while the vehicle is still being assembled on the
				assembly line.
(K)
				Gasoline distribution facility-Any facility that receives gasoline by pipeline,
				ship or barge, or cargo tank and subsequently loads the gasoline into gasoline
				delivery vessels for transport to gasoline dispensing facilities.
(L) Lower explosive limit (LEL)-The lower
				limit of flammability of a gas or vapor at ordinary ambient temperatures
				expressed in percent of the gas or vapor in air by volume.
(M) Monthly throughput-The total volume of
				gasoline that is loaded into all gasoline storage tanks during a month, as
				calculated on a rolling thirty (30)-day average.
(N) Onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR)-A
				system on motor vehicles designed to recover hydrocarbon vapors that escape
				during refueling.
(O) Petroleum
				liquid-Petroleum, condensate, and any finished or intermediate products
				manufactured in a petroleum refinery with the exception of Numbers 2-6 fuel
				oils meeting ASTM D396-17 requirements as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(12), gas turbine fuel oils
				Number 2-GT-4-GT meeting ASTM D2880-15 requirements as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(20), and diesel fuel oils
				Number 2-D and 4-D meeting ASTM D975-17 requirements as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(14).
(P) Staff director-Director of the Air
				Pollution Control Program of the Department of Natural Resources, or a
				designated representative.
(Q)
				Stage I vapor recovery system-A system used to capture the gasoline vapors that
				would otherwise be emitted when gasoline is transferred from a loading
				installation to a delivery vessel or from a delivery vessel to a storage
				tank.
(R) Submerged fill pipe-Any
				fill pipe the discharge opening of which is entirely submerged when the liquid
				level is six inches (6") above the bottom of the tank. When applied to a tank
				that is loaded from the side, any fill pipe, the discharge opening of which is
				entirely submerged when the liquid level is eighteen inches (18") or twice the
				diameter of the fill pipe, whichever is greater, above the bottom of the
				tank.
(S) True vapor pressure-The
				equilibrium partial pressure exerted by a petroleum liquid as determined in
				American Petroleum Institute, Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards,
				Chapter 19.2, Evaporative Loss From Floating-Roof Tanks, 2012, as published by
				the American Petroleum Institute. Copies can be obtained from the API
				Publishing Services, 1220 L Street, Washington, DC 20005. This rule does not
				incorporate any subsequent amendments or additions.
(T) Ullage-Volume of a container not occupied
				by liquid.
(U) Vapor recovery
				system-A vapor gathering system capable of collecting the hydrocarbon vapors
				and gases discharged and a vapor disposal system capable of processing the
				hydrocarbon vapors and gases so as to limit their emission to the
				atmosphere.
(V) Waxy, heavy pour
				crude oil-A crude oil with a pour point of fifty degrees Fahrenheit (50 °F)
				or higher compliant with ASTM D97-12 requirements as specified in
				10 CSR
				10-6.040(10).
(W) Definitions of certain terms specified in
				this rule, other than those specified in this rule section, may be found in
				10 CSR
				10-6.020.
