				  Any parish to which this regulation does not apply remains subject to the
				  requirements of  40 CFR 63, Subpart CCCCCC.
B. Control Requirements. No person shall
				  cause or allow the transfer of gasoline from any delivery vessel into any
				  stationary storage container unless such container is equipped with a submerged
				  fill pipe and unless the displaced vapor emissions from submerged filling of
				  the container are processed by a vapor recovery system that reduces such
				  emissions by at least 90 percent.
C. Approved Vapor Balance System. When a
				  vapor balance system is used to comply with the above vapor recovery system
				  control requirement, the balance system will be assumed to meet the specified
				  control requirement if the following conditions are met.
1. A vapor-tight return line having an
				  internal cross-sectional area at least one-half that of the liquid line is
				  connected before gasoline is transferred into the storage container. No
				  gasoline leaks exist anywhere in the liquid transfer system. Inspection for
				  visible liquid leaks, visible fumes, or odors resulting from gasoline
				  dispensing operations shall be conducted by the owner or the operator of the
				  gasoline outlet and the owner or the operator of the tank truck. Gasoline
				  loading or unloading through the affected transfer lines shall be discontinued
				  immediately when a leak is observed and shall not be resumed until the observed
				  leak is repaired.
2. The only
				  atmospheric emission during gasoline transfer into the storage container is
				  through the storage container pressure-vacuum valve.
3. The delivery vessel is kept vapor-tight at
				  all times with vapor recovery equipment. The delivery vessel must be in
				  compliance with LAC 33:III.2137. The vapor-laden delivery vessel may only be
				  refilled at bulk gasoline plants complying with LAC 33:III.2133 or bulk
				  gasoline terminals complying with LAC 33:III.2135.

A. Applicability
1. The provisions of this Subchapter apply to
				  process vents associated with batch processing operations. This Subchapter
				  shall apply to the stationary sources that emit, or have the potential to emit,
				  25 tons per year (TPY) or more of VOC in the affected parishes of Ascension,
				  East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge, or 50 TPY or

				  infinitum. The scope of affected industries is limited to those industries in
				  the following standard industrial classification (SIC) codes: 2821, 2833, 2834,
				  2861, 2865, 2869, 2879. Compliance with this rule shall be attained within a
				  period of two years after promulgation. A facility that has become subject to
				  this regulation as a result of a revision of the regulation shall comply with
				  the requirements of this Section as soon as practicable, but in no event later
				  than one year from the promulgation of the regulation revision. Any emission
				  source that is subject to this rule and to the Waste Gas Disposal Rule (LAC
				  33:III.2115) shall comply with this rule only.
2. Exemptions from the provisions of this
				  Subchapter, except for the reporting and recordkeeping requirements listed in
				  Subsection G of this Section, are as follows:
a. combined vents from a batch process train

Low
26,014
Moderate
15,935
High

b.
				  single unit operations that have mass AE of 500 lb/yr or less;
c. any batch process vent stream for which an
				  existing combustion device or recovery device is employed to control VOC
				  emissions is assumed to meet the 90 percent reduction requirement until the
				  combustion device or recovery device is replaced for any reason. Such units
				  shall be exempt from any monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements
				  under this Subchapter.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The requirements
				  of LAC 33:III.2158 shall apply to all regulated VOC emitting processes
				  employing a control system except as provided below.
B. If a source installs a PTE that meets the
				  requirements in  40 CFR, Part 51, Appendix M, Method 204, and which directs all
				  VOC to a control device, the capture efficiency is assumed to be 100 percent,
				  and the source is exempted from the requirements described in LAC 33:III.2158.
				  This does not exempt a source from performance of any control device efficiency
				  testing required under these or any other regulations. In addition, a source
				  must demonstrate all criteria for a PTE are met during the testing for control
				  efficiency.
C. If a source uses a
				  control device designed to collect and recover VOC (e.g., carbon adsorber), an
				  explicit measurement of capture efficiency is not necessary if the conditions
				  given below are met. The overall control of the system can be determined by
				  directly comparing the input liquid VOC (L) to the recovered liquid VOC. The
				  general procedure for use in this situation is given in
				  40 CFR
				  60.433 with the following additional
				  restrictions.
1. The source must be able to
				  equate solvent usage with solvent recovery on a 24-hour (daily) basis, rather
				  than a 30-day weighted average as given in
				  40 CFR
				  60.433. This must be done within 72 hours
				  following each 24-hour period. In addition, one of the following two criteria
				  must be met:
a. the solvent recovery system
				  (i.e., capture and control system) must be dedicated to a single process line
				  (e.g., one process line venting to a carbon adsorber system); or
b. if the solvent recovery system controls
				  multiple process lines, the source must be able to demonstrate that the overall
				  control (i.e., the total recovered solvent VOC divided by the sum of liquid VOC
				  input to all process lines venting to the control system) meets or exceeds the
				  most stringent standard applicable for any process line venting to the control
				  system.
