Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
					 The alternate control requirements for vent gas streams in the Beaumont/Port
					 Arthur, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston/Galveston areas are as follows.
(1) Alternate methods of demonstrating and
					 documenting continuous compliance with the applicable control requirements or
					 exemption criteria in this division (relating to Vent Gas Control) may be
					 approved by the executive director in accordance with §
												115.910
					 of this title (relating to Availability of Alternate Means of Control) if
					 emission reductions are demonstrated to be substantially equivalent.
(2) The owner or operator of a synthetic
					 organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) reactor process or distillation
					 operation in which vent gas stream emissions are controlled by a control device
					 with a control efficiency of at least 90% which was installed before December
					 3, 1993 may request an alternate reasonably available control technology
					 (ARACT) determination. The executive director may approve the ARACT if it is
					 determined to be economically unreasonable to replace the control device with a
					 new control device meeting the requirements of §
												115.122(a)(2)
					 of this title (relating to Control Requirements). Each ARACT approved by the
					 executive director shall include a requirement that the control device be
					 operated at its maximum efficiency. Each ARACT shall only be valid until the
					 control device undergoes a replacement, a modification as defined in 40 Code of
					 Federal Regulations (CFR) §60.14 (October 17, 2000), or a reconstruction
					 as defined in
					 40 CFR §60.15
					 (December 16, 1975), at which time the replacement, modified, or reconstructed
					 control device shall meet the requirements of §
												115.122(a)(2)
					 of this title. Any request for an ARACT determination shall be submitted to the
					 executive director in writing no later than May 31, 1994. The executive
					 director may direct the holder of an ARACT to reapply for an ARACT if it is
					 more than ten years since the date of installation of the control device and
					 there is good cause to believe that it is now economically reasonable to meet
					 the requirements of §
												115.122(a)(2)
					 of this title. Within three months of an executive director request, the holder
					 of an ARACT shall reapply for an ARACT. If the reapplication for an ARACT is
					 denied, the holder of the ARACT shall meet the requirements of §
												115.122(a)(2)
					 of this title as soon as practicable, but no later than two years from the date
					 of the executive director's written notification of denial.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The owner or operator of each batch process operation in
						the Beaumont/Port Arthur and Houston/Galveston areas shall determine the mass
						emissions and flow rates as follows.
(1) Determination of Uncontrolled Annual
					 Emission Total. The owner or operator shall determine the annual mass emissions
					 total by using engineering estimates of the uncontrolled emissions from a
					 process vent or group of process vents within a batch process train and
					 multiplying by the potential or permitted number of batch cycles per year.
					 Engineering estimates must follow the guidance contained in EPA's
Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Batch Processes -
					 Alternative Control Techniques Information Document
(EPA-453/R-94-020,
					 February 1994). Alternatively, if an emissions measurement is used to measure
					 vent emissions, the measurement must conform with the requirements of measuring
					 incoming mass flow rate of volatile organic compounds as specified in §
											115.165
					 of this title (relating to Approved Test Methods and Testing
					 Requirements).
(2) Determination of
					 Average Flow Rate. To obtain a value for average flow rate, the owner or
					 operator may choose to measure the flow rates or to estimate the flow rates
					 using the estimation methods contained in EPA's
Control of Volatile
					 Organic Compound Emissions from Batch Processes - Alternative Control
					 Techniques Information Document
(EPA-453/R-94-020, February 1994). For
					 existing manifolds, the average flow rate may be the flow rate that was assumed
					 in the design.
