New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter III - AIR RESOURCES › Subchapter A - PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF AIR CONTAMINATION AND AIR POLLUTION › Part 229 - Petroleum And Volatile Organic Liquid Storage And Transfer › Section 229.2 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) For the purpose
				  of this Part, the general definitions of Part 200 of this Title
				  apply.
(b) For the purpose of this
				  Part, the following definitions also apply:
(1) Annual. Refers to a period of time based
				  upon a calendar year commencing January 1st and terminating midnight December
				  31st.
(2) Annual throughput. The
				  amount of petroleum or volatile organic liquid transferred into or dispensed
				  from a defined source or facility during 12 consecutive months.
(3) Barrel. A unit of measurement equal to 42
				  gallons.
(4) Daily throughput. The
				  average daily amount of petroleum or volatile organic liquid transferred into
				  or dispensed from a defined source or facility. The daily throughput is
				  calculated by dividing the annual throughput by the number of workdays during
				  the 12-month period, which begins on January 1st and ends on December
				  31st.
(5) Equivalent control. The
				  use of alternate operational and/or equipment controls that have been approved
				  by the commissioner for the reduction of petroleum or volatile organic liquid
				  vapor emissions such that the aggregate emissions of petroleum or volatile
				  organic liquid vapor from the facility do not exceed those from the application
				  of defined reasonably available control technology.
(6) External floating roof tank. An open top
				  tank with a cover or roof which rests or floats above the petroleum or volatile
				  organic liquid in the tank and is equipped with one or more closure seals
				  between the roof edge and tank wall.
(7) Fixed roof storage tank. A petroleum or
				  volatile organic liquid storage vessel consisting of a vertical steel
				  cylindrical shell with a permanent affixed roof.
(8) Gasoline. Any petroleum distillate having
				  a Reid vapor pressure of four pounds per square inch (28 kilopascals) or
				  higher, used as a motor fuel.
(9)
				  Gasoline bulk plant. A gasoline storage and distribution facility with an
				  average daily throughput of 20,000 gallons of gasoline or less. A gasoline
				  dispensing site subject to Part 230 of this Title is not considered to be a
				  gasoline bulk plant.
(10) Gasoline
				  loading terminal. A gasoline storage and distribution facility with an average
				  daily throughput of greater than 20,000 gallons of gasoline. A gasoline
				  dispensing site subject to Part 230 of this Title is not considered to be a
				  gasoline loading terminal.
(11)
				  Gasoline transport vehicle. Any delivery vessel, tank truck, trailer, or
				  railroad tank car, with a capacity of 300 gallons or more, used for the
				  transportation of gasoline.
(12)
				  Internal floating roof tank. A fixed roof tank with a cover or roof which rests
				  or floats upon the petroleum or volatile organic liquid in the tank and is
				  equipped with one or more closure seals between the roof edge and tank
				  wall.
(13) Liquid-mounted seal. A
				  primary seal mounted in continuous contact with the liquid between the tank
				  wall and the floating roof around the circumference of the tank.
(14) Lower Orange County metropolitan area.
				  The area including the towns of Blooming Grove, Chester, Highlands, Monroe,
				  Tuxedo, Warwick, and Woodbury.
(15)
				  Marine delivery vessel. Any vessel which is specifically constructed or
				  converted to transport liquid cargo in tanks, which is designed to move on
				  water, including but not limited to, barges and tankers. This does not include
				  water borne vessels containing only tanks designed to carry liquid necessary
				  for operation of the vessel.
(16)
				  Metallic shoe seal. A petroleum or volatile organic liquid storage vessel seal,
				  which consists of a metal sheet held vertically against the tank wall by
				  springs or weighted levers and is connected by braces to the floating roof. A
				  flexible coated fabric spans the annular space between the metal sheet and the
				  floating roof.
(17) Petroleum
				  liquid. Any crude oil, condensate, and any finished or intermediate products
				  manufactured or extracted in a petroleum refinery whose true vapor pressure is
				  between 1.5 and 12 psia (10.5-83 kilopascals) at 70° F. Petroleum liquids
				  do not include Nos. 2 through 6 fuel oils or those volatile organic compounds
				  which are given an environmental rating of A pursuant to Part 212 of this
				  Title.
(18) Potential to emit. The
				  maximum capacity of an air contamination source to emit any air contaminant
				  under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational
				  limitation on the capacity of the facility or air contamination source to emit
				  any air contaminant, including air pollution control equipment and/or
				  restriction on the hours of operation, or on the type or amount of material
				  combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of the design only if
				  the limitation is contained in enforceable permit conditions. Fugitive
				  emissions, to the extent that they are quantifiable, are included in
				  determining the potential to emit.
(19) Storage tank. Any vessel, reservoir or
				  container used for the storage of petroleum and/or volatile organic
				  liquids.
(20) True vapor pressure.
				  The equilibrium partial pressure exerted by a petroleum or volatile organic
				  liquid at 70° F. True vapor pressure of a petroleum or volatile organic
				  liquid is to be determined by methods acceptable to the commissioner. The
				  methods described in Bulletin 2517 of the American Petroleum Institute (API)
				  are considered to be acceptable methods for determining true vapor pressure for
				  petroleum liquids.
(21)
				  Vapor-mounted seal. A primary seal, mounted so there is a ring-shaped vapor
				  space beneath the seal, bounded by the bottom of the primary seal, the tank
				  wall, the liquid surface and the floating roof.
(22) Volatile organic liquid. Any organic
				  liquid including, but not limited to, liquids that produce vapors which
				  participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions, or which are measured by an
				  applicable test method, but excluding petroleum liquids. The following are not
				  considered to be volatile organic liquids for the purpose of this regulation:
				  Gasoline, Nos. 2 through 6 fuel oil, commercial and military grades of diesel
				  and aviation fuels and those compounds specifically exempted from the
				  definition of volatile organic compound in Part 200 of this Title.
