All affected persons in the Beaumont-Port Arthur,
						Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, as defined in
						§
											115.10 of
						this title (relating to Definitions), shall conduct a monitoring and inspection
						program consistent with the following provisions.
(1) Monitor yearly (with a hydrocarbon gas
					 analyzer) the emissions from all:
(A) process
					 drains that receive or contact affected volatile organic compound wastewater
					 streams as defined in Subchapter B, Division 4 of this chapter (relating to
					 Industrial Wastewater);
(B)
					 difficult-to-monitor components as identified in §
												115.352(7)
					 of this title (relating to Control Requirements) that would otherwise be
					 subject to more frequent monitoring under paragraph (2) of this section;
					 and
(C) unsafe-to-monitor
					 components that would otherwise be subject to more frequent monitoring. An
					 unsafe-to-monitor component is a component that the owner or operator
					 determines is unsafe to monitor because monitoring personnel would be exposed
					 to an immediate danger as a consequence of conducting the monitoring.
					 Components that are unsafe to monitor must be identified in a list made
					 available upon request as specified in §
												115.356(5)
					 of this title (relating to Recordkeeping Requirements). If an unsafe-to-monitor
					 component is not considered safe to monitor within a calendar year, then it
