-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 22, 1994 and June 6, 1994, the EPA issued the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories: Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Synthetic Organic
Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes Subject to the
Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks. This rule is commonly known
as the Hazardous Organic NESHAP or the HON. In June 1994, petitions for
review of the April 1994 rule were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit. The petitioners raised over 75
technical issues and concerns with drafting clarity of the rule.
On August 26, 1996, the EPA proposed correcting amendments to the
rule to address the petitioners' issues. Among the proposed amendments
were proposed revisions to definitions that apply to wastewater and
wastewater treatment and revised control and compliance provisions for
wastewater. A new compliance date of April 22, 1999, was proposed for
process wastewater, heat exchange systems, equipment subject to the
provisions of Sec. 63.149, and maintenance wastewater. The EPA also
proposed a separate compliance date for wastewater streams affected by
the omission of nitrobenzene from the list of compounds subject to the
wastewater provisions. The proposed revisions to the other provisions
to the rule also included corrections and clarifications to ensure the
rule is implemented as intended. The proposed amendments also included
some additional compliance options that would reduce the burden
associated with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the
rule. Today's action takes final action on those proposed amendments.
These amendments to the rule will not change the basic control
requirements of the rule or the level of health protection it provides.
The rule requires new and existing major sources to control emissions
of hazardous air pollutants to the level reflecting application of the
maximum achievable control technology.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 17, 1997.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
B. Background on Rule
On April 22, 1994 (59 FR 19402), and June 6, 1994 (59 FR 29196),
the EPA published in the Federal Register the NESHAP for the synthetic
organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI), and for several other
processes subject to the equipment leaks portion of the rule. These
regulations were promulgated as subparts F, G, H, and I in 40 CFR part
63, and are commonly referred to as the hazardous organic NESHAP, or
the HON. Since the April 22, 1994 notice, there have been several
amendments to clarify various aspects of the rule. Readers should see
the following Federal Register notices for more information: September
20, 1994 (59 FR 48175); October 24, 1994 (59 FR 53359); October 28,
1994 (59 FR 54131); January 27, 1995 (60 FR 5321); April 10, 1995 (60
FR 18020); April 10, 1995 (60 FR 18026); December 12, 1995 (60 FR
63624); February 29, 1996 (61 FR 7716); June 20, 1996 (61 FR 31435);
August 26, 1996 (61 FR 43698); and December 5, 1996 (61 FR 64571).
In June 1994, the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) and Dow
Chemical Company filed petitions for review of the promulgated rule in
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit,
Chemical Manufacturers Association v. EPA, 94-1463 and 94-1464 (D.C.
Cir.) and Dow Chemical Company v. EPA, 94-1465 (D.C. Cir). The
petitioners raised over 75 technical issues on the rule's structure and
applicability. Issues were raised regarding details of the technical
requirements, drafting clarity, and structural errors in the drafting
of certain sections of the rule. On August 26, 1996, the EPA proposed
clarifying and correcting amendments to subparts F, G, H, and I of part
63 to address the issues raised by CMA and Dow on the April 1994 rule.
In the August 26, 1996 document, the EPA committed to taking final
action on some portions of the proposed amendments to the rule as soon
as possible after the close of the comment period in order to give
sources as much lead time as possible. In the December 5, 1996 Federal
Register, the EPA took final action on those portions of the proposed
amendments that would eliminate the need for filing some implementation
plans that would otherwise be due December 31, 1996, and would allow
the filing of requests for compliance extensions up to 4 months before
the April 1997 compliance date.
Today the EPA is taking final action on the remaining portions of
the amendments proposed on August 26, 1996.
C. Public Comment on the August 26, 1996 Proposal
Eighteen comment letters were received on the August 26, 1996
Federal Register document that proposed
[[Page 2723]]
changes to the rule. All comment letters received were from industry
representatives and trade associations. Most of the comment letters
were supportive of the proposed amendments. A few of these comment
letters also included suggested editorial revisions to further clarify
some aspects of the proposed amendments or to address oversights in the
proposed amendments. The EPA considered these suggestions and, where
appropriate, made changes to the proposed amendments. The significant
issues raised and the changes to the proposed amendments are summarized
in this preamble. A memorandum containing the EPA's response to all
comments can be found in Docket A-90-19, item number IX-C-1. The
response to comments may also be obtained over the Internet at http://

D. Judicial Review
Under Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, judicial review of this final
action is available only on the filing of a petition for review in the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60
days of today's publication of this final rule. Under Section 307(b)(2)
of the CAA, the requirements that are subject to today's notice may not
be challenged later in civil or criminal proceedings brought by the EPA
to enforce these requirements.
II. Overview of Amendments to Rule
With today's action, the EPA is issuing clarifying and correcting
amendments to subparts F, G, H, and I of 40 CFR part 63 that were
proposed on August 26, 1996. Readers should refer to the August 26,
1996 Federal Register document for a complete discussion of the
background and the proposed changes to the rule. Today's revisions are
intended to remove any ambiguity and clearly convey the EPA's intent,
to make the rule easier to read and implement, and to increase
flexibility for the source.
These amendments include an extension of the existing source
compliance date to April 22, 1999 for process wastewater, heat exchange
systems, maintenance wastewater, and equipment subject to the
provisions of Sec. 63.149 and also establish a separate compliance date
for wastewater streams affected by the omission of nitrobenzene from
table 9 of subpart G. A three year compliance date is being established
for process wastewater streams that are subject to control requirements
due to the presence of nitrobenzene due to an error in the April 22,
1994 rule. Equipment subject to the other provisions of the rule must
be in compliance by April 22, 1997, unless a compliance extension is
granted.
Today's amendments also include the revisions to the wastewater
sections of subpart G, Secs. 63.132 through 63.147. As discussed in the
August 26, 1996 document, the wastewater sections have been redrafted
to improve organizational structure and clarity. The revised wastewater
sections reflect the concept that only when water is ``discarded'' from
a process is it ``wastewater,'' and thus subject to the HON wastewater
provisions. The revised wastewater sections in subpart G also include
provisions that: (1) Ensure that streams traveling from one piece of
process equipment to another are handled appropriately to avoid
emissions to the environment, and (2) ensure that the changes in the
wastewater definition do not permit sources to dilute their streams
prior to the point the streams are considered wastewater, thus avoiding
control requirements. The amendments to the wastewater provisions also
include the provisions that would allow a HON source owner or operator
to ship waste off-site for treatment. Under these revisions to the
rule, the owner or operator choosing not to treat wastewater on-site
may only ship to a facility that has certified that it will treat the
waste to the standard required by the HON.
In contrast to the significant revisions of the wastewater
provisions, only minor changes are being made to other sections of the
rule. In addition to removing ambiguity and increasing flexibility for
the source, some revisions reduce the reporting and recordkeeping
burden for sources. The reporting and recordkeeping revisions include
changes that (1) reduce the number of copies of reports that must be
submitted to the EPA and the States, and (2) provide for alternative,
less frequent recordkeeping of monitoring data where sources are able
to demonstrate that no violations have occurred for prolonged stretches
of time.
III. Summary of Major Comments and Changes to the Proposed Amendments
to the Rule
A. Applicability of Rule to Storage Vessels Located in a Tank Farm or
Marine Terminal
In the August 26, 1996 document, the EPA proposed amendments to
clarify the applicability of the rule to storage vessels located in
tank farms and marine tank farms. Due to an oversight, the provisions
currently in Sec. 63.100(g) of subpart F of the April 1994 rule did not
include instructions regarding allocation of tanks in remote locations,
such as tank farms. The proposed amendments, Sec. 63.100(g)(3),
provided explicit procedures to be followed to assign the storage
vessels to a process and then to determine the applicability of the
rule.
Most commenters were supportive of the proposed amendment. However,
one commenter requested clarification of the difference between a
remote storage tank owned by a chemical process facility and a remote
storage tank owned by a for-hire, bulk liquid terminal. The commenter
thought the proposed amendments to Sec. 63.100(g) could inappropriately
cause a remote storage tank owned by a for-hire, bulk liquid terminal
to be considered subject to the HON. The commenter requested that the
rule specifically state that remote storage vessels at independent tank
farm distribution facilities are not subject to the rule.
The EPA agrees with the commenter that the focus of this rule is on
chemical manufacturing plants and not on for-hire terminals that store
products for distribution. The EPA believes that the commenter's
concern arose because the preamble description of this proposed change
was not sufficiently clear that this assignment procedure was for
allocation of storage vessels at remote locations within the plant
site. The EPA believes that when the provisions of Sec. 63.100(g)(3)
are considered within context of all the applicability criteria in
subpart F it is clear that this proposed assignment procedure for
storage vessels in tank farms does not extend the applicability to for-
hire terminals that are not part of the major source. For the
amendments to affect any specific storage vessel (or transfer rack or
distillation unit), it would have to be part of a chemical
manufacturing process unit at a major source subject to the rule. In
order for a storage vessel (or transfer rack or distillation unit) to
be part of a major source, it would have to be (among other things)
under the control of the owner or operator of the chemical
manufacturing process unit
[[Page 2724]]
and located within the same contiguous area as the chemical
manufacturing process unit. A storage vessel owned by a for-hire bulk
liquid terminal could only be subject to the HON if it was under the
control of the owner or operator of the HON chemical manufacturing
process unit, and contiguously located, and therefore part of the same
major source. The EPA believes that the applicability of the rule is
clear and it is not necessary to add explicit language to the rule to
specify that storage vessels at for-hire terminals that are not part of
the major source are not subject to the rule.
B. Revision to Table 2 of Subpart F List of Regulated Organic Hazardous
Air Pollutants
In the August proposal, the EPA proposed to revise table 2 of
subpart F to list 21 specific compounds that are to be regulated as
polycyclic organic matter (POM) in the HON. The specific compounds
listed were identified as being consistent with the historical working
definition of POM, which emphasizes emissions from incomplete
combustion and pyrolysis processes (49 FR 31680). This change was
proposed to address requests for clarification of the scope of the term
POM in the HON.
Several commenters contended that 1,2-naphthylamine sulfonic acid,
1,4-naphthylamine sulfonic acid, -naphthol, and -
naphthol should not have been included on the list of specific
compounds proposed to be added to table 2 to replace the hazardous air
pollutants category POM. These commenters all asserted that these
compounds do not meet the historical working definition of POM, as
claimed by the EPA in the August 26, 1996 document. In support of that
view, the commenters stated that, in 1992, the EPA acknowledged the
potential problems with the statutory definition of POM and stated
that, although the definition would remain, the EPA would emphasize
emissions from combustion and pyrolysis activities (letter from John
Seitz to Larry Thomas, The Society of the Plastics Industry, March 3,
1992). The commenters also believe that, in 1994, the EPA announced a
new POM definition in a response to comments Background Information
Document (EPA-453/R-94-003d) for the HON that states:
Polycyclic organic matter is generally formed or emitted during
thermal processes including (1) incomplete combustion, (2)
pyrolysis, (3) the volatilization of fossil fuels or bitumens, or
(4) the distillation or thermal processing of non-fossil fuels. (HON
BID, Vol. 2D, p.4)
The commenters believe that these four compounds do not meet what they
describe as the revised definitions of POM since the compounds are not
produced by combustion processes and are not used in the types of
processes intended to be covered by this listing. The commenters
recommended that these specific compounds not be added to table 2 of
subpart F. One commenter also argued that the EPA should follow the
listing process in section 112(b) of the CAA if the EPA wished to list
these specific compounds as hazardous air pollutants.
The EPA does not agree with the commenters that these four
compounds do not meet the historical working definition of POM and
thus, should not be added to table 2 of subpart F. The term POM, as
defined in section 112(b) of the CAA, includes organic compounds with
more than one benzene ring and which have a boiling point greater than
or equal to 100 deg. C. This definition is very broad and does not
limit the term to the group of compounds which the EPA believes are
principally responsible for mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in humans
and animals. This arises because the current statutory definition
includes any compound with more than one benzene ring and is not
limited to fused ring compounds. Neither the March 1992 Seitz letter,
nor the HON Background Information Document amend the statutory
definition of POM. The August 26, 1996 proposal, to list 21 specific
compounds on table 2 of subpart F instead of listing POM generally, is
consistent with the molecular structures of concern in the historical
definition. Specifically, the 21 compounds have molecular structures
with two or more fused rings at least one of which is benzenoid in
structure. These chemicals were identified as chemical products
produced by the chemical manufacturing processes considered to be
within the definition of the SOCMI source category. Whether these
compounds were produced by extraction from materials produced by
pyrolysis processes or derived from petroleum feedstocks, was not a
consideration in the listing. The EPA does not agree with the
commenter's interpretation that compounds can be considered POM only if
formed by incomplete combustion and/or pyrolysis operations; the
statutory definition of POM is not limited in that fashion.
The reason for including these specific compounds on table 2
instead of listing POM generally was to ensure that emissions of these
compounds from the chemical manufacturing process unit producing these
chemicals would be subject to the requirements of the rule. All of
these compounds meet the definition of POM in section 112(b) of the
CAA. Specification of these compounds on table 2 will not result in
application of the rule to sources using these chemical products to
produce other products. It will require that emissions of these
substances from sources subject to this rule to be subject to the
requirements of the rule. Before today's changes to table 2 of subpart
F, emissions of the 21 substances were subject to the requirements of
the rule. Today's changes merely clarify what the substances are rather
than referring to POM generally.
Finally, the EPA disagrees with the commenter who argued that the
EPA should follow the listing process in section 112(b) to list these
compounds as hazardous air pollutants. The specific hazardous air
pollutants added to table 2 meet the definition of POM in section
112(b) and therefore are already subject to the requirements of section
112 without further listing action.
One commenter also asserted that listing 1,2-naphthylamine sulfonic
acid and 1,4-naphthylamine sulfonic acid as Hazardous Air Pollutants
has potential consequences under other statutes. The commenter noted
that the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA) section 101(14)(e) incorporates by reference any
hazardous air pollutant listed under the CAA. This, in turn,
establishes Federal authority to respond to releases or threats of
releases of hazardous substances and triggers notification requirements
of releases to the National Response Center above the Reportable
Quantity (RQ) and liability for costs associated with cleanup and any
natural resources damages resulting from the release. Another possible
result is under section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) that the owner or operator of a
facility from which an RQ or more of a CERCLA hazardous substance has
been released must immediately notify state and local emergency
response authorities.
The EPA does not agree with the commenter's assessment of the
potential consequences of the proposed listing of the 21 compounds in
table 2 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart F. The commenter's opinion that the
listing of the chemicals of interest in table 2 in place of POM
generally triggers new CERCLA and EPCRA reporting requirements is
incorrect, as the requirements were effective upon enactment of the CAA
by virtue of CERCLA section 101(14) and, in turn, section 102(b). The
POM category was one of five broad generic
[[Page 2725]]
categories of CAA section 112 hazardous air pollutants codified as a
hazardous substance pursuant to CERCLA section 101(14) in 40 CFR 302.4.
Section 101(14) of CERCLA states that the term ``hazardous substance''
includes ``any hazardous air pollutant listed under section 112 of the
Clean Air Act.'' Thus, the CAA categories automatically became
hazardous substances under CERCLA when listed as hazardous air
pollutants under section 112 in 1990. In the June 12, 1995 Federal
Register (60 FR 30926), the EPA stated that ``All substances within the
(CAA section 112 hazardous air pollutants) categories, as well as the
categories themselves, are CERCLA hazardous substances'' and that
``CERCLA section 102(b) provides that an RQ of one pound applies to
hazardous substances (which include the CAA hazardous air pollutants)
until this RQ is adjusted by regulation. Therefore, the section 112
listing of POM in the CAA automatically triggers a one pound RQ for any
chemical which falls within the section 112(b) definition of POM.
Issuance of a MACT standard requiring control of specific hazardous air
pollutants has no additional effect on CERCLA coverage.
C. Compliance Extension for New Sources
The August 26, 1996 proposal included an extension of the
compliance date to April 22, 1999 for heat exchange systems,
maintenance wastewater, equipment subject to Sec. 63.149, and process
wastewater for existing sources. This proposed change was in
Sec. 63.100(k)(2)(ii) of the proposed rule.
Several commenters suggested that the compliance schedule should be
extended for new sources to April 22, 1999 or initial startup,
whichever is later. The commenter's did not state the basis for their
belief that more than 2 additional years should be provided for new
sources.
While the EPA believes that, in some limited instances new sources
may need more time for compliance than was provided in the April 1994
rule, the EPA does not believe that 2 years is justified. In today's
final rule the EPA has provided that, in general, new sources that
commenced construction or reconstruction up to the date of proposal of
the August 1996 amendments continue to have a compliance date of April
22, 1994, (the date of the original final rule) or start-up, whichever
is later.
However, some exceptions have been added. Commenters had requested
more compliance time for heat exchange systems, maintenance and process
wastewater streams, and equipment subject to Sec. 63.149 (those pieces
of equipment for which a new, later compliance date has been set with
respect to existing sources). In response to this request the EPA has
decided that heat exchange systems, maintenance wastewater streams,
process wastewater streams, and equipment subject to Sec. 63.149 that
are part of new sources on which construction or reconstruction
commenced before proposal of the August 1996 amendments will have a
compliance date that is the later of start-up or 180 days from the date
of today's final rule.
These exceptions will provide new sources that commenced planning
for, or actually achieved compliance with, the April 22, 1994 rule, 6
months more time to allow any minor adjustments necessary to comply
with the provisions of today's final rule applicable to the heat
exchange system, maintenance and process wastewater streams, and
equipment subject to Sec. 63.149.
In addition, today's final rule provides that new sources upon
which construction or reconstruction commenced after the August 1996
proposal, must be in compliance upon the later of initial start-up or
the date of today's final rule.
The EPA believes that 180 days from today is ample time for any new
sources that are already in compliance with the April 1994 final rule
to make the necessary adjustments to their recordkeeping and reporting
procedures to ensure compliance with today's rule. Those sources that
commenced construction after December 31, 1992, but have not yet
reached start-up will be able to adjust their start-up date to allow
time to reach compliance as will any new sources commencing
construction after the August 26, 1996 proposal.
D. Delay of Repair for Heat Exchangers
The August proposal included new Sec. 63.104 requirements for
monitoring heat exchange systems for leaks of process fluids into
cooling water. The proposed Sec. 63.104 would replace the existing
provisions in Sec. 63.104 of subpart F. The revisions were proposed to
address issues with the existing provisions related to the availability
of monitoring methods with sufficient analytical sensitivity, lack of
flexibility in some of the requirements, and the burden associated with
the monitoring requirements. The proposed Sec. 63.104 also included
revisions to the delay of repair provisions to allow delay until the
next shutdown if a shutdown is planned within 2 months of determination
that delay of repair is necessary. The proposed revisions to
Sec. 63.104 also provided that repair may be delayed up to a maximum of
120 days if the necessary parts or personnel were not available. These
new provisions would replace the provisions in the April 1994 rule
which only allows delay of repair when it can be demonstrated that
immediate shutdown for repair would create more emissions than the
emissions that would result from delaying repair of the leaking heat
exchanger until the next shutdown. In the August 26, 1996 document, it
was explained that the proposed revisions to the delay of repair
provisions of the rule were being made to make these provisions
workable and to minimize debate over modeling of emissions from heat
exchanger systems.
Several commenters objected to this change in the delay of repair
provisions in Sec. 63.104. The commenters argued that it is
inappropriate to require an unscheduled shutdown if it can be
demonstrated that greater emissions would result than would occur if
the leak were repaired at the next scheduled shutdown. The commenters
thought that this change was an unintended result of other changes to
the wording of the provision.
As a result of this comment, the EPA reconsidered the circumstances
where delay of repair would be appropriate and the approach used to
develop an enforceable provision. Based on further examination of
situations that might arise in a facility subject to the standard, the
EPA concluded that Sec. 63.104(e)(2) could be revised to allow delay of
repair in situations where greater emissions would result than would
occur if the leak were repaired at the next scheduled shutdown if the
procedure for calculating emissions were specified in the rule. The
revised Sec. 63.104(e)(2) includes delay of repair provisions for cases
where the maximum potential emissions from the leaking heat exchanger
are less than the emissions that would result from an unscheduled
shutdown. The proposed 120 day maximum delay due to unavailability of
parts or personnel to effect the repair is also retained in the final
provisions. The EPA believes that the added provision will address
cases involving low flow rate heat exchangers that can not be isolated
from the process and where process unit shutdowns may result in
substantial emissions. The EPA believes that the revised
Sec. 63.104(e)(2) provides the flexibility needed while maintaining the
enforcability of the provision.

E. Wastewater Issues
1. Point of Determination
In the August 26, 1996 proposal, the EPA proposed to revise the
wastewater provisions to base the determination of applicability of
control requirements to a wastewater stream on its characteristics at
the point where the wastewater stream exits the last recovery device
instead of at the point of generation (POG). The new location for
determining the characteristics of a wastewater stream was termed the
point of determination (POD) to distinguish it from the POG concept
used in other air rules for waste and wastewater such as the Benzene
Waste NESHAP. This proposed revision was one of several changes
proposed to address problems with the clarity and structure of the
wastewater provisions in the April 1994 rule.
The public comment on the proposal was supportive of the new POD
concept. Therefore, the proposed revision changing from a POG approach
to the POD approach is being incorporated into the final rule without
revision. However, some public inquiries on the proposal also indicated
that confusion exists regarding some details of the concept.
Specifically, some readers have mistakenly interpreted POD by confusing
the meaning of ``recovery device'' and ``treatment process.'' This
section of the preamble sets forth the EPA's intent and emphasizes that
key definitions and provisions should be used together to understand
and correctly implement the POD concept in this rule.
The EPA's intent in developing the POD approach was to have a
decision criterion that is replicable and clearly specifies the
location for evaluation of a wastewater stream for the purposes of
control. All equipment prior to the POD is considered to be part of the
process and equipment downstream of the POD is not considered to be
part of the process. The POD is defined as each point where process
wastewater exits the chemical manufacturing process unit. To understand
the POD approach, other portions of the rule must be understood,
especially the definitions of wastewater, recovery device, and
treatment process and the provisions in Sec. 63.149.
``Wastewater'' is defined, inter alia, as water that is discarded
from a chemical manufacturing process unit. Under the revised approach
for defining wastewater, a stream does not become wastewater until it
exits the last recovery device. At that point, because the stream is no
longer being processed or used, it is considered to be discarded.
``Recovery device'' is defined as an individual unit of equipment
capable of and normally used for the purpose of recovering chemicals
for fuel value, use, or reuse or for sale for one of these purposes.
A ``treatment process'' is defined in the HON as a specific
technique that removes or destroys organics in a wastewater stream or
residual. Examples of treatment processes are a steam stripper (which
separate the organic material from the water) and a biological
treatment process (which destroys the organic compounds).
The EPA recognizes that the same categories of equipment, such as
oil-water separators or organic removal devices such as decanters or
strippers, may be recovery devices or treatment devices depending upon
the specific application in a particular process' operations. To
determine whether a particular item of equipment should be considered a
recovery device or a treatment process, it is necessary to consider the
subsequent utilization or disposition of the materials that pass
through the item of equipment. If the recovered materials are then used
for the same general purpose for which chemicals are utilized within
the facility (i.e., used for the chemical properties of the material or
for use as a fuel), then the equipment would be considered a recovery
device. If the material is not recovered for use, reuse, or fuel value
or for sale for use, reuse, or fuel value (under normal circumstances),
the equipment can not be considered a recovery device. For example, an
organic water separator, such as a steam stripper could not be
considered to be a recovery device if the separated organic material is
later sent to an incinerator for disposal. However, if the separated
organic material were used in a process or incorporated into product,
the steam stripper would be considered part of the process.
In developing the POD approach, the EPA assumed that organic
hazardous air pollutants containing fluids within the process would be
managed in closed systems to minimize losses of a recoverable material.
The EPA based this assumption on information provided by industry
representatives and the EPA's experience with the chemical industry.
The provisions in table 35 of subpart G and the new Sec. 63.149 were
designed to ensure that conveyance and handling of organic hazardous
air pollutants containing process fluids would be handled in a manner
consistent with the requirements for wastewater streams subject to
control.
The EPA considers the POD approach as appropriate for this rule
because the HON addresses the other emission points in the chemical
manufacturing process unit. The EPA does not believe that the POD
approach would be appropriate for other rules that are not as
comprehensive in the coverage of emission points. For example, the POD
concept would not be appropriate in cases where it is known that other
emission points would not be subject to any control requirements.
2. Clarification of Safety Relief Device Provisions for Waste
Management Units
The August proposed revisions to Sec. 63.132 included provisions to
allow waste management units to be equipped with pressure relief
devices needed for safety purposes, Sec. 63.132 (a)(2)(i) and
(b)(3)(i). Although no comments were received on these proposed
provisions, the EPA has received inquiries from some industry
representatives and consultants requesting clarification of the intent
of these provisions. The inquiries concerned whether these provisions
prohibit the use of pressure-vacuum vents on wastewater tanks storing
wastewater streams or whether these provisions would allow venting of
emissions to the atmosphere of wastewater tanks storing Group 1
wastewater streams.
The intent of the pressure relief valve provisions in Sec. 63.132
(a)(2)(i) and (b)(3)(i) is to provide for safety releases in emergency
situations only. These provisions provide that a pressure relief device
on waste management units is allowed ``provided the pressure relief
device is not used for planned or routine venting of emissions.'' These
provisions should not be interpreted as providing for routine venting
of emissions from waste management units.
Neither should these provisions be interpreted as prohibiting
pressure-vacuum vents on fixed roof wastewater tanks allowed for tanks
storing wastewater streams with a maximum true vapor pressure of less
than: (1) 13.1 kPa if the tank capacity is greater than or equal to 75
m3 but less than 151 m3; or (2) less than 5.2 kPa if the tank
capacity exceeds 151 m3 as specified in Sec. 63.133(a)(1). The
rule requires that tanks meeting these criteria be equipped with a
fixed roof and allows the roof to be equipped with openings necessary
for operation, inspection, and maintenance. There is no requirement to
control emissions from tanks meeting these criteria.
[[Page 2727]]
3. Issues Associated With Biological Treatment Processes
The August proposal included provisions that provided easier
compliance demonstration options for well-mixed activated sludge
systems that are used to control readily biodegraded compounds. In this
proposed change to the April 1994 rule, the compounds listed in table 9
of subpart G were divided into three lists. In the proposal, a
performance evaluation would not be required for activated sludge
systems that met the definition of enhanced biological treatment system
and the unit was controlling wastewater streams that contained only
list 1 compounds. The proposed revisions to appendix C still required a
performance demonstration for activated sludge systems used to treat a
combination of list 1 and list 2 and/or list 3 compounds.
All comments on the proposed compliance demonstration provisions
for biological treatment systems were supportive of this approach.
However, based on conversations with industry representatives, the EPA
has learned that some people are misinterpreting the proposed
definition of ``enhanced biological treatment system or biological
treatment process.'' This section of the preamble sets forth the EPA's
intent and reiterates the basis for the proposed compliance
demonstration exemption for certain biological treatment units. Because
of the potential for misinterpretation of the term, a clarifying change
has been made to the proposed definition for ``enhanced biological
treatment system or enhanced biological treatment process.''
The proposed revisions to the rule defined an enhanced biological
treatment system as an aerated treatment unit(s) that contains biomass
suspended in water followed by a clarifier that removes biomass from
the treated water and recycles recovered biomass to the aeration unit.
The mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (biomass) is greater than 1
kilogram per cubic meter throughout each aeration unit. The biomass is
suspended and aerated in the water of the aeration unit(s) by either
submerged air flow or mechanical agitation. The EPA's intent in
defining the enhanced biological treatment system was to reflect the
modeling of an activated sludge system with a well-mixed biological
treatment unit that was used to develop the three lists of compounds in
table 36. (A well-mixed or completely mixed system is a biological
treatment unit where particles entering the tank are dispersed
immediately throughout the tank and the system has uniform
characteristics (Docket A-90-23, item VII-B-8).) The requirement to
recycle biomass indicated an activated sludge system. The requirement
to have the biomass suspended and aerated indicated an aerobic
biological unit. The phase ``throughout each aeration unit'' was
intended to mean that the unit was well-mixed. It is this phrase that
is being misinterpreted or overlooked by readers. Therefore, the EPA
has slightly revised the definition for enhanced biological treatment
systems in today's rule to help clarify the intent. In today's rule the
second sentence of the definition reads, ``the mixed liquor volatile
suspended solids (biomass) is greater than 1 kilogram per cubic meter
homogeneously distributed throughout each aeration unit.'' The
additional phrase, ``homogeneously distributed,'' was added to clarify
the EPA's intent to define a uniformly well-mixed biological treatment
unit. The EPA believes this revision clarifies the original intent and
does not alter the meaning of the term.
An example of a system that would meet the enhanced biological
treatment system definition would be a conventional well-designed,
operated, and maintained activated sludge system. The biological
treatment unit of this enhanced biological treatment system would
contain a homogeneous mixture or, in other words, the biological
treatment unit would have the same concentration, mixed liquor volatile
suspended solids (MLVSS), and dissolved oxygen throughout the vessel
where the biological reactions occur.
A plug-flow system is an example of a biological treatment system
that does not meet the HON enhanced biological treatment system
definition. Plug-flow systems typically occur in long tanks with a high
length-to-width ratio in which longitudinal dispersion is minimal or
absent (Docket A-90-23, item VII-B-8). Plug-flow systems are not
considered acceptable units for the compliance demonstration exemption
because they may tend to have higher air emissions at the front of the
system where the concentration is higher. This is not to say that a
well operated plug-flow system would not be an acceptable biological
treatment system; however, the EPA was not as confident that the
parameters required to operate an acceptable plug-flow system could be
defined. These systems are required to demonstrate compliance through
use of the procedures in appendix C. Appendix C has been revised to
state that the calculation procedures (forms) in the appendix are for
well-mixed systems and to include suggestions for ways to address
systems that are not uniform well-mixed systems.
F. Miscellaneous Changes
The EPA also made a number of clarifying changes to several
sections of the August 1996 proposal. Examples of provisions that were
revised to clarify requirements include Sec. 63.145(f)(5),
Sec. 63.146(d)(1), and the oxygen control system requirements in
section 2.1.6 of Methods 304A and 304B. The EPA believes that these
revisions clarify the original intent and do not alter the effect of
the rule.
In addition to clarifying changes to the August 1996 proposed
amendments to the rule, the EPA also made minor revisions to provide
consistency with other similar provisions elsewhere in the rule or in
other rules. The EPA slightly revised the provisions in
Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(C) to provide consistency between the requirements
for use of alternative methods allowed in the HON with similar
requirements in 40 CFR part 265, subpart CC (61 FR 59932). One of the
changes is to remove a requirement to perform the initial calibration
of the analytical system with the compounds for which the analysis is
being conducted for Methods 624 and 625. This requirement is already
addressed in the procedures outlined in Methods 624 and 625. The other
change is to reference a procedure that may be used to add compounds to
a method's published list of approved compounds for Methods 624, 625,
1624, and 1625. The record retention requirements for the heat
exchanger monitoring plan in Sec. 63.104(c) were revised from the
requirements in Sec. 63.103(c) to specify requirements that are similar
to the proposed requirements in Sec. 63.152(g)(1)(vi)(D). The revised
provisions require that the owner or operator maintain, at all times,
the monitoring plan that is currently in use and retain copies of the
most recently superceded plan for 15 years. This revision was made to
ensure that there could be no misunderstanding that copies of the
current plan must be maintained regardless of the duration of the
retention period.
G. Technical Corrections
The following amendments are minor technical corrections that were
not part of the August 26, 1996 proposal. These changes are being made
as part of today's action as a matter of efficiency in rulemaking.
Furthermore, these changes are noncontroversial and do not
substantively change the requirements of the rule. By promulgating
these technical corrections directly as a final rule, the EPA is
foregoing an
[[Page 2728]]
opportunity for public comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking.
Section 553(b) of title 5 of the United States Code and section 307(b)
of the CAA permit an agency to forego notice and comment when ``the
agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief
statement of reasons therefore in the rules issued) that notice and
public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' The EPA finds that notice and comment regarding
these minor technical corrections are unnecessary due to their
noncontroversial nature and because they do not substantively change
the requirements of the HON. The EPA finds that this constitutes good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) for a determination that the issuance of a
notice of proposed rulemaking is unncessary.
1. Removal of Caprolactam From Table 2 of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart F
On June 18, 1996 (61 FR 30816), the EPA took final action deleting
caprolactam from the list of hazardous air pollutants under section
112(b) of the CAA. Accordingly, as caprolactam is no longer subject to
regulation under section 112(d) of the CAA, the EPA is removing
caprolactam from table 2 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart F.
2. Correction of Sec. 63.174(h)(2)
On June 20, 1996 (61 FR 31440), the EPA amended Sec. 63.174(h)(1)
of subpart H to replace references to ``glass or glass-lined
connectors'' with the terminology ``ceramic or ceramic-lined
connectors.'' This change was made to use the more generic terminology
for these connectors (60 FR 18074). The need to amend Sec. 63.174(h)(2)
was overlooked at the time these amendments were issued. In today's
action, the EPA is revising Sec. 63.174(h)(2) to use the terminology
``ceramic or ceramic-lined connectors'' instead of ``glass or glass-
lined connectors''. This change will remove an inconsistency in the
drafting of Sec. 63.174(h).
IV. Administrative Requirements
A. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the
information collection requirements contained in the rule under the
Provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and
has assigned OMB control number 2060-0282. An Information Collection
Request (ICR) document was prepared by the EPA (ICR No. 1414.02) and a
copy may be obtained from Sandy Farmer, OPPE Regulatory Information
Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2137); 401 M St., S.W.;
Washington DC 20460 or by calling (202) 260-2740.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the
EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
The changes included in this rule will have no impact on the
information collection burden estimates previously made. The changes
consist of new definitions, alternative test procedures, and
clarifications of requirements. The changes are not additional
requirements. Consequently, the ICR has not been revised for this rule.
B. Executive Order 12866 Review
Under Executive Order 12866, the EPA must determine whether the
proposed regulatory action is ``significant'' and, therefore, subject
to OMB review and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order
defines ``significant'' regulatory action as one that is likely to lead
to a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety in State, local, or tribal governments or communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
The HON rule promulgated on April 22, 1994 was considered
``significant'' under Executive Order 12866, and a regulatory impact
analysis was prepared. The amendments issued today clarify the rule and
correct structural problems with the drafting of some sections. The
amendments also provide additional flexibility for sources and provide
opportunities to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting burden. These
amendments do not add any new control requirements. Therefore, this
regulatory action is considered ``not significant.''
C. Regulatory Flexibility
The EPA has determined that it is not necessary to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis in connection with this final rule. The
EPA has also determined that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. See the
April 22, 1994 Federal Register (59 FR 19449) for the basis for this
determination. The changes to the rule remove a reporting requirement
and provide additional time to request compliance extensions.
Therefore, the changes do not create a burden for any of the regulated
entities.
D. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office
Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), as added by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, the EPA submitted a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
General Accounting Office prior to publication of the rule in today's
Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(Unfunded Mandates Act), the EPA must prepare a budgetary impact
statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a
Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs to State, local, or
tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private sector, of $100
million or more. Under Section 205, the EPA must select the most cost-
effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives
of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203
requires the EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any
small governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the
rule.
The EPA has determined that the action promulgated today does not
include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the
aggregate or to the private sector. Therefore, the requirements of the
Unfunded Mandates Act do not apply to this action.

one or more of the organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2
of this subpart;
* * * * *
(c) The owner or operator of a chemical manufacturing process unit
that meets the criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3) of
this section but does not use as a reactant or manufacture as a product
or co-product, any organic hazardous air pollutant listed in table 2 of
this subpart shall comply only with the requirements of Sec. 63.103(e)
of this subpart. To comply with this subpart, such chemical
manufacturing process units shall not be required to comply with the
provisions of subpart A of this part.
* * * * *
(e) The source to which this subpart applies is the collection of
the process vents; storage vessels; transfer racks; waste management
units; maintenance wastewater; heat exchange systems; equipment
identified in Sec. 63.149 of subpart G; and pumps, compressors,
agitators, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-
ended valves or lines, valves, connectors, instrumentation systems,
surge control vessels, and bottoms receivers that are associated with
the collection of all chemical manufacturing process units at a major
source that meet the criteria specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through
(b)(3) of this section. The source also includes equipment required by,
or utilized as a method of compliance with this subpart F, subpart G or
H of this part which may include control devices and recovery devices.
(1) This subpart applies to maintenance wastewater and heat
exchange systems within a source that is subject to this subpart.
(2) This subpart F and subpart G of this part apply to process
vents, storage vessels, transfer racks, equipment identified in
Sec. 63.149 of subpart G of this part, and wastewater streams and
associated treatment residuals within a source that is subject to this
subpart.
(3) This subpart F and subpart H of this part apply to pumps,
compressors, agitators, pressure relief devices, sampling connection
systems, open-ended valves or lines, valves, connectors,
instrumentation systems, surge control vessels, and bottoms receivers
within a source that is subject to this subpart. If specific items of
equipment, comprising part of a chemical manufacturing process unit
subject to this subpart, are managed by different administrative
organizations (e.g., different companies, affiliates, departments,
divisions, etc.), those items of equipment may be aggregated with any
chemical manufacturing process unit within the source for all purposes
under subpart H of this part, providing there is no delay in the
applicable compliance date in Sec. 63.100(k).
(f) The source includes the emission points listed in paragraphs
(f)(1) through (f)(11) of this section, but those emission points are
not subject to the requirements of this subpart F and subparts G and H
of this part. This subpart does not require emission points that are
listed in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(11) of this section to comply
with the provisions of subpart A of this part.
(1) Equipment that is located within a chemical manufacturing
process unit that is subject to this subpart but the equipment does not
contain organic hazardous air pollutants.
* * * * *
(6) Water from testing of deluge systems;

(g) The owner or operator shall follow the procedures specified in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this section to determine whether a
storage vessel is part of the source to which this subpart applies.
(1) Where a storage vessel is dedicated to a chemical manufacturing
process unit, the storage vessel shall be considered part of that
chemical manufacturing process unit.
* * * * *
(2) If a storage vessel is not dedicated to a single chemical
manufacturing process unit, then the applicability of this subpart F
and subpart G of this part shall be determined according to the
provisions in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (g)(2)(iii) of this section.
* * * * *
(3) Where a storage vessel is located at a major source that
includes one or more chemical manufacturing process units which place
material into, or receive materials from the storage vessel, but the
storage vessel is located in a tank farm (including a marine tank
farm), the applicability of this subpart F and subpart G of this part
shall be determined according to the provisions in paragraphs (g)(3)(i)
through (g)(3)(iv) of this section.
(i) The storage vessel may only be assigned to a chemical
manufacturing process unit that utilizes the storage vessel and does
not have an intervening storage vessel for that product (or raw
material, as appropriate). With respect to any chemical manufacturing
process unit, an intervening storage vessel means a storage vessel
connected by hard-piping to the chemical manufacturing process unit and
to the storage vessel in the tank farm so that product or raw material
entering or leaving the chemical manufacturing process unit flows into
(or from) the intervening storage vessel and does not flow directly
into (or from) the storage vessel in the tank farm.
(ii) If there is no chemical manufacturing process unit at the
major source that meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this
section with respect to a storage vessel, this subpart F and subpart G
of this part do not apply to the storage vessel.
(iii) If there is only one chemical manufacturing process unit at
the major source that meets the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this
section with respect to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall be
assigned to that chemical manufacturing process unit. Applicability of
this subpart F and subpart G to this part to the storage vessel shall
then be determined
[[Page 2730]]
according to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this section.
(iv) If there are two or more chemical manufacturing process units
at the major source that meet the criteria of paragraph (g)(3)(i) of
this section with respect to a storage vessel, the storage vessel shall
be assigned to one of those chemical manufacturing process units
according to the provisions of paragraph (g)(2) of this section. The
predominant use shall be determined among only those chemical
manufacturing process units that meet the criteria of paragraph
(g)(3)(i) of this section. Applicability of this subpart F and subpart
G of this part to the storage vessel shall then be determined according
to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this section.
(4) If the storage vessel begins receiving material from (or
sending material to) another chemical manufacturing process unit, or
ceasing to receive material from (or send material to) a chemical
manufacturing process unit, or if the applicability of this subpart F
and subpart G of this part to a storage vessel has been determined
according to the provisions of paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (g)(2)(iii)
of this section and there is a change so that the predominant use may
reasonably have changed, the owner or operator shall reevaluate the
applicability of this subpart to the storage vessel.
(h) * * *
(1) Where a loading rack is dedicated to a chemical manufacturing
process unit, the loading rack shall be considered part of that
specific chemical manufacturing process unit.
(i) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this
subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of this
section and the loading rack does not meet the criteria specified in
paragraphs (f)(9) and (f)(10) of this section, then the loading rack is
considered a transfer rack (as defined in Sec. 63.101 of this subpart)
and is part of the source to which this subpart applies.
* * * * *
(2) If a loading rack is shared among chemical manufacturing
process units, then the applicability of this subpart F and subpart G
of this part shall be determined at each loading arm or loading hose
according to the provisions in paragraphs (h)(2)(i) through (h)(2)(iv)
of this section.
(i) Each loading arm or loading hose that is dedicated to the
transfer of liquid organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2
of this subpart from a chemical manufacturing process unit to which
this subpart applies is part of that chemical manufacturing process
unit and is part of the source to which this subpart applies unless the
loading arm or loading hose meets the criteria specified in paragraphs
(f)(9) or (f)(10) of this section.
(ii) * * *
(A) If the chemical manufacturing process unit is subject to this
subpart according to the criteria specified in paragraph (b) of this
section, then the loading arm or loading hose is part of the source to
which this subpart applies unless the loading arm or loading hose meets
the criteria specified in paragraphs (f)(9) or (f)(10) of this section.
* * * * *
(3) If a loading rack that was dedicated to a single chemical
manufacturing process unit begins to serve another chemical
manufacturing process unit, or if applicability was determined under
the provisions of paragraphs (h)(2)(i) through (h)(2)(iv) of this
section and there is a change so that the predominant use may
reasonably have changed, the owner or operator shall reevaluate the
applicability of this subpart to the loading rack, loading arm, or
loading hose.

of a new source on which construction or reconstruction commenced after
December 31, 1992, but before August 27, 1996, shall be in compliance
with this subpart F no later than initial start-up or 180 days after
January 17, 1997, whichever is later;
(B) Process wastewater streams and equipment subject to
Sec. 63.149, that are part of a new source on which construction or
reconstruction commenced after December 31, 1992, but before August 27,
1996, shall be in compliance with this subpart F and subpart G of this

subject to Sec. 63.149 and process wastewater streams shall be in
compliance with the applicable sections of this subpart and subpart G
of this part no later than April 22, 1999, except as provided in
paragraphs (k)(2)(ii)(A) and (k)(2)(ii)(B) of this section.
(A) If a process wastewater stream or equipment subject to
Sec. 63.149 is subject to the control requirements of subpart G of this
part due to the contribution of nitrobenzene to the total annual
average concentration (as determined according to the procedures in
Sec. 63.144(b) of subpart G of this part), the wastewater stream shall
be in compliance no later than January 18, 2000.
(B) If a process wastewater stream is used to generate credits in
an emissions average in accordance with Sec. 63.150 of subpart G of
this part, the process wastewater stream shall be in compliance with
the applicable sections of subpart G of this part no later than April
22, 1997.
(3) Existing sources shall be in compliance with subpart H of this
part no later than the dates specified in paragraphs (k)(3)(i) through
(k)(3)(v) of this section, except as provided for in paragraphs (k)(4)
through (k)(8) of this section, unless an extension has been granted by
the Administrator as provided in Sec. 63.182(a)(6) of this part or
granted by the permitting authority as provided in Sec. 63.6(i) of
subpart A of this part. The group designation for each
[[Page 2731]]
process unit is indicated in table 1 of this subpart.
* * * * *
(9) All terms in this subpart F or subpart G of this part that
define a period of time for completion of required tasks (e.g., weekly,
monthly, quarterly, annual), unless specified otherwise in the section
or subsection that imposes the requirement, refer to the standard
calendar periods.
(i) Notwithstanding time periods specified in this subpart F or
subpart G of this part for completion of required tasks, such time
periods may be changed by mutual agreement between the owner or
operator and the Administrator, as specified in subpart A of this part
(e.g., a period could begin on the compliance date or another date,
rather than on the first day of the standard calendar period). For each
time period that is changed by agreement, the revised period shall
remain in effect until it is changed. A new request is not necessary
for each recurring period.
(ii) Where the period specified for compliance is a standard
calendar period, if the initial compliance date occurs after the
beginning of the period, compliance shall be required according to the
schedule specified in paragraphs (k)(9)(ii)(A) or (k)(9)(ii)(B) of this
section, as appropriate.
(A) Compliance shall be required before the end of the standard
calendar period within which the compliance deadline occurs, if there
remain at least 3 days for tasks that must be performed weekly, at
least 2 weeks for tasks that must be performed monthly, at least 1
month for tasks that must be performed each quarter, or at least 3
months for tasks that must be performed annually; or
(B) In all other cases, compliance shall be required before the end
of the first full standard calendar period after the period within
which the initial compliance deadline occurs.
(iii) In all instances where a provision of this subpart F or
subpart G of this part requires completion of a task during each of
multiple successive periods, an owner or operator may perform the
required task at any time during the specified period, provided the
task is conducted at a reasonable interval after completion of the task
during the previous period.

3. Section 63.101 is amended as follows:
a. By revising the definitions of ``Chemical manufacturing process
unit,'' ``Control device'', ``Process vent'', ``Recovery device,''
``Shutdown'', and ``Start-up'', the first sentence in the definition
for ``Transfer rack'', and revising the definitions for ``Unit
operation'', and ``Vapor balancing system''; and ``Wastewater''; and
b. By adding in alphabetical order the definitions of ``Fuel gas,''
``Fuel gas system'', ``On-site or On site'', ``Recapture device'', and
``Waste management unit'' to read as follows:
Sec. 63.101 Definitions.
* * * * *
Chemical manufacturing process unit means the equipment assembled
and connected by pipes or ducts to process raw materials and to
manufacture an intended product. A chemical manufacturing process unit
consists of more than one unit operation. For the purpose of this
subpart, chemical manufacturing process unit includes air oxidation
reactors and their associated product separators and recovery devices;
reactors and their associated product separators and recovery devices;
distillation units and their associated distillate receivers and
recovery devices; associated unit operations; associated recovery
devices; and any feed, intermediate and product storage vessels,
product transfer racks, and connected ducts and piping. A chemical
manufacturing process unit includes pumps, compressors, agitators,
pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves
or lines, valves, connectors, instrumentation systems, and control
devices or systems. A chemical manufacturing process unit is identified
by its primary product.
Control device means any combustion device, recovery device, or
recapture device. Such equipment includes, but is not limited to,
absorbers, carbon adsorbers, condensers, incinerators, flares, boilers,
and process heaters. For process vents (as defined in this section),
recapture devices are considered control devices but recovery devices
are not considered control devices. For a steam stripper, a primary
condenser is not considered a control device.
* * * * *
Fuel gas means gases that are combusted to derive useful work or
heat.
Fuel gas system means the offsite and onsite piping and flow and
pressure control system that gathers gaseous stream(s) generated by
onsite operations, may blend them with other sources of gas, and
transports the gaseous stream for use as fuel gas in combustion devices
or in in-process combustion equipment such as furnaces and gas turbines
either singly or in combination.
* * * * *
On-site or On site means, with respect to records required to be
maintained by this subpart, that the records are stored at a location
within a major source which encompasses the affected source. On-site
includes, but is not limited to, storage at the chemical manufacturing
process unit to which the records pertain, or storage in central files
elsewhere at the major source.
* * * * *
Process vent means a gas stream containing greater than 0.005
weight-percent total organic hazardous air pollutants that is
continuously discharged during operation of the unit from an air
oxidation reactor, other reactor, or distillation unit (as defined in
this section) within a chemical manufacturing process unit that meets
all applicability criteria specified in Sec. 63.100 (b)(1) through
(b)(3) of this subpart. Process vents are gas streams that are
discharged to the atmosphere (with or without passing through a control
device) either directly or after passing through one or more recovery
devices. Process vents exclude relief valve discharges, gaseous streams
routed to a fuel gas system(s), and leaks from equipment regulated
under subpart H of this part.
* * * * *
Recapture device means an individual unit of equipment capable of
and used for the purpose of recovering chemicals, but not normally for
use, reuse, or sale. For example, a recapture device may recover
chemicals primarily for disposal. Recapture devices include, but are
not limited to, absorbers, carbon adsorbers, and condensers.
Recovery device means an individual unit of equipment capable of
and normally used for the purpose of recovering chemicals for fuel
value (i.e., net positive heating value), use, reuse or for sale for
fuel value, use, or reuse. Examples of equipment that may be recovery
devices include absorbers, carbon adsorbers, condensers, oil-water
separators or organic-water separators, or organic removal devices such
as decanters, strippers, or thin-film evaporation units. For purposes
of the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of subpart
G of this part, recapture devices are considered recovery devices.
* * * * *
Shutdown means for purposes including, but not limited to, periodic
maintenance, replacement of equipment, or repair, the cessation of
operation of a chemical manufacturing
[[Page 2732]]
process unit or a reactor, air oxidation reactor, distillation unit,
waste management unit, equipment required or used to comply with this
subpart F, subparts G, or H of this part or the emptying and degassing
of a storage vessel. Shutdown does not include the routine rinsing or
washing of equipment in batch operation between batches.
* * * * *
Start-up means the setting into operation of a chemical
manufacturing process unit or a reactor, air oxidation reactor,
distillation unit, waste management unit, or equipment required or used
to comply with this subpart F, subpart G, or H of this part or a
storage vessel after emptying and degassing. Start-up includes initial
start-up, operation solely for testing equipment, the recharging of
equipment in batch operation, and transitional conditions due to
changes in product for flexible operation units.
* * * * *
Transfer rack means the collection of loading arms and loading
hoses, at a single loading rack, that are assigned to a chemical
manufacturing process unit subject to this subpart according to the
procedures specified in Sec. 63.100(h) of this subpart and are used to
fill tank trucks and/or railcars with organic liquids that contain one
or more of the organic hazardous air pollutants listed in table 2 of
this subpart. * * *
* * * * *
Unit operation means one or more pieces of process equipment used
to make a single change to the physical or chemical characteristics of
one or more process streams. Unit operations include, but are not
limited to, reactors, distillation units, extraction columns,
absorbers, decanters, dryers, condensers, and filtration equipment.
Vapor balancing system means a piping system that is designed to
collect organic hazardous air pollutants vapors displaced from tank
trucks or railcars during loading; and to route the collected organic
hazardous air pollutants vapors to the storage vessel from which the
liquid being loaded originated, or to another storage vessel connected
by a common header or to compress and route to a process or a fuel gas
system the collected organic hazardous air pollutants vapors.
Waste management unit means the equipment, structure(s), and/or
device(s) used to convey, store, treat, or dispose of wastewater
streams or residuals. Examples of waste management units include:
Wastewater tanks, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, and
biological wastewater treatment units. Examples of equipment that may
be waste management units include containers, air flotation units, oil-
water separators or organic-water separators, or organic removal
devices such as decanters, strippers, or thin-film evaporation units.
If such equipment is used for recovery then it is part of a chemical
manufacturing process unit and is not a waste management unit.
Wastewater means water that:
(1) Contains either:
(i) an annual average concentration of Table 9 compounds (as
defined in Sec. 63.111 of subpart G of this part) of at least 5 parts
per million by weight and has an annual average flow rate of 0.02 liter
per minute or greater, or
(ii) An annual average concentration of Table 9 compounds (as
defined in Sec. 63.111 of subpart G) of at least 10,000 parts per
million by weight at any flow rate, and that
(2) Is discarded from a chemical manufacturing process unit that
meets all of the criteria specified in Sec. 63.100 (b)(1) through
(b)(3) of this subpart. Wastewater is process wastewater or maintenance
wastewater.
4. Section 63.102 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and
(a)(2); adding paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4) to read as follows:
Sec. 63.102 General standards.
(a) * * *
(1) The provisions set forth in this subpart F and subpart G of
this part shall apply at all times except during periods of start-up or
shutdown (as defined in Sec. 63.101 of this subpart), malfunction, or
non-operation of the chemical manufacturing process unit (or specific
portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to which this
subpart F and subpart G of this part apply. However, if a start-up,
shutdown, malfunction or period of non-operation of one portion of a
chemical manufacturing process unit does not affect the ability of a
particular emission point to comply with the specific provisions to
which it is subject, then that emission point shall still be required
to comply with the applicable provisions of this subpart F and subpart
G of this part during the start-up, shutdown, malfunction or period of
non-operation. For example, if there is an overpressure in the reactor
area, a storage vessel in the chemical manufacturing process unit would
still be required to be controlled in accordance with Sec. 63.119 of
subpart G of the part. Similarly, the degassing of a storage vessel
would not affect the ability of a process vent to meet the requirements
of Sec. 63.113 of subpart G of this part.
(2) The provisions set forth in subpart H of this part shall apply
at all times except during periods of start-up or shutdown, as defined
in Sec. 63.101(b) of this subpart, malfunction, process unit shutdown
(as defined in Sec. 63.161 of subpart H of this part), or non-operation
of the chemical manufacturing process unit (or specific portion
thereof) in which the lines are drained and depressurized resulting in
cessation of the emissions to which subpart H of this part applies.
(3) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment
that are required or utilized for compliance with the provisions of
this subpart F, subpart G or H of this part during times when emissions
(or, where applicable, wastewater streams or residuals) are being
routed to such items of equipment, if the shutdown would contravene
requirements of this subpart F, subpart G or H of this part applicable
to such items of equipment. This paragraph does not apply if the item
of equipment is malfunctioning, or if the owner or operator must shut
down the equipment to avoid damage due to a contemporaneous start-up,
shutdown, or malfunction of the chemical manufacturing process unit or
portion thereof.
(4) During start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the
requirements of this subpart F, subparts G and/or H of this part do not
apply pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section, the
owner or operator shall implement, to the extent reasonably available,
measures to prevent or minimize excess emissions to the extent
practical. For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``excess
emissions'' means emissions in excess of those that would have occurred
if there were no start-up, shutdown, or malfunction and the owner or
operator complied with the relevant provisions of this subpart F,
subparts G and/or H of this part. The measures to be taken shall be
identified in the applicable start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan,
and may include, but are not limited to, air pollution control
technologies, recovery technologies, work practices, pollution
prevention, monitoring, and/or changes in the manner of operation of
the source. Back-up control devices are not required, but may be used
if available.
* * * * *
5. Section 63.103 is amended by adding two sentences to the end of
the introductory text of paragraph (c); revising paragraphs (c)(1),
(c)(2)(i), (c)(2)(ii), and (c)(2)(iii); removing paragraph (c)(2)(iv);
revising paragraph (d)(1); revising paragraph (e); and
[[Page 2733]]
revising the last sentence of paragraph (f) to read as follows:
Sec. 63.103 General compliance, reporting, and recordkeeping
provisions.
* * * * *
(c) * * * If an owner or operator submits copies of reports to the
applicable EPA Regional Office, the owner or operator is not required
to maintain copies of reports. If the EPA Regional Office has waived
the requirement of Sec. 63.10(a)(4)(ii) for submittal of copies of
reports, the owner or operator is not required to maintain copies of
reports.
(1) All applicable records shall be maintained in such a manner
that they can be readily accessed. The most recent 6 months of records
shall be retained on site or shall be accessible from a central
location by computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours
after a request. The remaining four and one-half years of records may
be retained offsite. Records may be maintained in hard copy or
computer-readable form including, but not limited to, on paper,
microfilm, computer, floppy disk, magnetic tape, or microfiche.
(2) * * *
(i) Records of the occurrence and duration of each start-up,
shutdown, and malfunction of operation of process equipment or of air
pollution control equipment or continuous monitoring systems used to
comply with this subpart F, subpart G, or H of this part during which
excess emissions (as defined in Sec. 63.102(a)(4)) occur.
(ii) For each start-up, shutdown, and malfunction during which
excess emissions (as defined in Sec. 63.102(a)(4)) occur, records that
the procedures specified in the source's start-up, shutdown, and
malfunction plan were followed, and documentation of actions taken that
are not consistent with the plan. For example, if a start-up, shutdown,
and malfunction plan includes procedures for routing a control device
to a backup control device (e.g., the incinerator for a halogenated
stream could be routed to a flare during periods when the primary
control device is out of service), records must be kept of whether the
plan was followed. These records may take the form of a ``checklist,''
or other form of recordkeeping that confirms conformance with the
start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan for the event.
(iii) For continuous monitoring systems used to comply with subpart
G of this part, records documenting the completion of calibration
checks and maintenance of continuous monitoring systems that are
specified in the manufacturer's instructions or other written
procedures that provide adequate assurance that the equipment would
reasonably be expected to monitor accurately.
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(1) Wherever subpart A of this part specifies ``postmark'' dates,
submittals may be sent by methods other than the U.S. Mail (e.g., by
fax or courier). Submittals shall be sent on or before the specified
date.
* * * * *
(e) The owner or operator of a chemical manufacturing process unit
which meets the criteria of Sec. 63.100(b)(1) and Sec. 63.100(b)(3),
but not the criteria of Sec. 63.100(b)(2), shall comply with the
requirements of either paragraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this section.
(1) Retain information, data, and analysis used to determine that
the chemical manufacturing process unit does not use as a reactant or
manufacture as a product or co-product any organic hazardous air
pollutant. Examples of information that could document this include,
but are not limited to, records of chemicals purchased for the process,
analyses of process stream composition, engineering calculations, or
process knowledge.
(2) When requested by the Administrator, demonstrate that the
chemical manufacturing process unit does not use as a reactant or
manufacture as a product or co-product any organic hazardous air
pollutant.
* * * * *
(f) * * * Compliance with this subpart F and subpart G of this part
shall be no later than April 22, 1997, or as otherwise specified in
Sec. 63.100(k)(2)(ii) of this subpart, unless an extension has been
granted by the EPA Regional Office or permitting authority as provided
in Sec. 63.6(i) of subpart A of this part.
* * * * *
6. Section 63.104 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 63.104 Heat exchange system requirements.
(a) Unless one or more of the conditions specified in paragraphs
(a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section are met, owners and operators of
sources subject to this subpart shall monitor each heat exchange system
used to cool process equipment in a chemical manufacturing process unit
meeting the conditions of Sec. 63.100 (b)(1) through (b)(3) of this
subpart, except for chemical manufacturing process units meeting the
condition specified in Sec. 63.100(c) of this subpart, according to the
provisions in either paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. Whenever a
leak is detected, the owner or operator shall comply with the
requirements in paragraph (d) of this section.
(1) The heat exchange system is operated with the minimum pressure
on the cooling water side at least 35 kilopascals greater than the
maximum pressure on the process side.
(2) There is an intervening cooling fluid, containing less than 5
percent by weight of total hazardous air pollutants listed in table 4
of this subpart, between the process and the cooling water. This
intervening fluid serves to isolate the cooling water from the process
fluid and the intervening fluid is not sent through a cooling tower or
discharged. For purposes of this section, discharge does not include
emptying for maintenance purposes.
(3) The once-through heat exchange system is subject to a National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with an allowable
discharge limit of 1 part per million or less above influent
concentration or 10 percent or less above influent concentration,
whichever is greater.
(4) The once-through heat exchange system is subject to an NPDES
permit that:
(i) Requires monitoring of a parameter(s) or condition(s) to detect
a leak of process fluids into cooling water;
(ii) Specifies or includes the normal range of the parameter or
condition;
(iii) Requires monitoring for the parameters selected as leak
indicators no less frequently than monthly for the first six months and
quarterly thereafter; and
(iv) Requires the owner or operator to report and correct leaks to
the cooling water when the parameter or condition exceeds the normal
range.
(5) The recirculating heat exchange system is used to cool process
fluids that contain less than 5 percent by weight of total hazardous
air pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart.
(6) The once-through heat exchange system is used to cool process
fluids that contain less than 5 percent by weight of total hazardous
air pollutants listed in table 9 of subpart G of this part.
(b) The owner or operator who elects to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section by monitoring the cooling
water for the presence of one or more organic hazardous air pollutants
or other representative substances whose presence in cooling water
indicates a leak shall comply with the requirements specified in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) of this section. The cooling water
shall be monitored for total hazardous
[[Page 2734]]
air pollutants, total volatile organic compounds, total organic carbon,
one or more speciated HAP compounds, or other representative substances
that would indicate the presence of a leak in the heat exchange system.
(1) The cooling water shall be monitored monthly for the first 6
months and quarterly thereafter to detect leaks.
(2)(i) For recirculating heat exchange systems (cooling tower
systems), the monitoring of speciated hazardous air pollutants or total
hazardous air pollutants refers to the hazardous air pollutants listed
in table 4 of this subpart.
(ii) For once-through heat exchange systems, the monitoring of
speciated hazardous air pollutants or total hazardous air pollutants
refers to the hazardous air pollutants listed in table 9 of subpart G
of this part.
(3) The concentration of the monitored substance(s) in the cooling
water shall be determined using any EPA-approved method listed in part
136 of this chapter as long as the method is sensitive to
concentrations as low as 10 parts per million and the same method is
used for both entrance and exit samples. Alternative methods may be
used upon approval by the Administrator.
(4) The samples shall be collected either at the entrance and exit
of each heat exchange system or at locations where the cooling water
enters and exits each heat exchanger or any combination of heat
exchangers.
(i) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of recirculating
heat exchange systems, the entrance is the point at which the cooling
water leaves the cooling tower prior to being returned to the process
equipment and the exit is the point at which the cooling water is
introduced to the cooling tower after being used to cool the process
fluid.
(ii) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of once-through
heat exchange systems, the entrance is the point at which the cooling
water enters and the exit is the point at which the cooling water exits
the plant site or chemical manufacturing process units.
(iii) For samples taken at the entrance and exit of each heat
exchanger or any combination of heat exchangers in chemical
manufacturing process units, the entrance is the point at which the
cooling water enters the individual heat exchanger or group of heat
exchangers and the exit is the point at which the cooling water exits
the heat exchanger or group of heat exchangers.
(5) A minimum of three sets of samples shall be taken at each
entrance and exit as defined in paragraph (b)(4) of this section. The
average entrance and exit concentrations shall then be calculated. The
concentration shall be corrected for the addition of any makeup water
or for any evaporative losses, as applicable.
(6) A leak is detected if the exit mean concentration is found to
be greater than the entrance mean using a one-sided statistical
procedure at the 0.05 level of significance and the amount by which it
is greater is at least 1 part per million or 10 percent of the entrance
mean, whichever is greater.
(c) The owner or operator who elects to comply with the requirement
of paragraph (a) of this section by monitoring using a surrogate
indicator of heat exchange system leaks shall comply with the
requirements specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of this
section. Surrogate indicators that could be used to develop an
acceptable monitoring program are ion specific electrode monitoring,
pH, conductivity or other representative indicators.
(1) The owner or operator shall prepare and implement a monitoring
plan that documents the procedures that will be used to detect leaks of
process fluids into cooling water. The plan shall require monitoring of
one or more surrogate indicators or monitoring of one or more process
parameters or other conditions that indicate a leak. Monitoring that is
already being conducted for other purposes may be used to satisfy the
requirements of this section. The plan shall include the information
specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this section.
(i) A description of the parameter or condition to be monitored and
an explanation of how the selected parameter or condition will reliably
indicate the presence of a leak.
(ii) The parameter level(s) or conditions(s) that shall constitute
a leak. This shall be documented by data or calculations showing that
the selected levels or conditions will reliably identify leaks. The
monitoring must be sufficiently sensitive to determine the range of
parameter levels or conditions when the system is not leaking. When the
selected parameter level or condition is outside that range, a leak is
indicated.
(iii) The monitoring frequency which shall be no less frequent than
monthly for the first 6 months and quarterly thereafter to detect
leaks.
(iv) The records that will be maintained to document compliance
with the requirements of this section.
(2) If a substantial leak is identified by methods other than those
described in the monitoring plan and the method(s) specified in the
plan could not detect the leak, the owner or operator shall revise the
plan and document the basis for the changes. The owner or operator
shall complete the revisions to the plan no later than 180 days after
discovery of the leak.
(3) The owner or operator shall maintain, at all times, the
monitoring plan that is currently in use. The current plan shall be
maintained on-site, or shall be accessible from a central location by
computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a
request. If the monitoring plan is superseded, the owner or operator
shall retain the most recent superseded plan at least until 5 years
from the date of its creation. The superseded plan shall be retained
on-site (or accessible from a central location by computer or other
means that provides access within two hours after a request) for at
least 6 months after its creation.
(d) If a leak is detected according to the criteria of paragraph
(b) or (c) of this section, the owner or operator shall comply with the
requirements in paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section, except as
provided in paragraph (e) of this section.
(1) The leak shall be repaired as soon as practical but not later
than 45 calendar days after the owner or operator receives results of
monitoring tests indicating a leak. The leak shall be repaired unless
the owner or operator demonstrates that the results are due to a
condition other than a leak.
(2) Once the leak has been repaired, the owner or operator shall
confirm that the heat exchange system has been repaired within 7
calendar days of the repair or startup, whichever is later.
(e) Delay of repair of heat exchange systems for which leaks have
been detected is allowed if the equipment is isolated from the process.
Delay of repair is also allowed if repair is technically infeasible
without a shutdown and any one of the conditions in paragraph (e)(1) or
(e)(2) of this section is met. All time periods in paragraphs (e)(1)
and (e)(2) of this section shall be determined from the date when the
owner or operator determines that delay of repair is necessary.
(1) If a shutdown is expected within the next 2 months, a special
shutdown before that planned shutdown is not required.
(2) If a shutdown is not expected within the next 2 months, the
owner or operator may delay repair as provided in paragraph (e)(2)(i)
or (e)(2)(ii) of this section. Documentation of a decision to delay
repair shall state the reasons repair was delayed and shall specify a
[[Page 2735]]
schedule for completing the repair as soon as practical.
(i) If a shutdown for repair would cause greater emissions than the
potential emissions from delaying repair, the owner or operator may
delay repair until the next shutdown of the process equipment
associated with the leaking heat exchanger. The owner or operator shall
document the basis for the determination that a shutdown for repair
would cause greater emissions than the emissions likely to result from
delaying repair as specified in paragraphs (e)(2)(i)(A) and
(e)(2)(i)(B) of this section.
(A) The owner or operator shall calculate the potential emissions
from the leaking heat exchanger by multiplying the concentration of
total hazardous air pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart in the
cooling water from the leaking heat exchanger by the flowrate of the
cooling water from the leaking heat exchanger by the expected duration
of the delay. The owner or operator may calculate potential emissions
using total organic carbon concentration instead of total hazardous air
pollutants listed in table 4 of this subpart.
(B) The owner or operator shall determine emissions from purging
and depressurizing the equipment that will result from the unscheduled
shutdown for the repair.
(ii) If repair is delayed for reasons other than those specified in
paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section, the owner or operator may delay
repair up to a maximum of 120 calendar days. The owner shall
demonstrate that the necessary parts or personnel were not available.
(f)(1) Required records. The owner or operator shall retain the
records identified in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (f)(1)(iv) of this
section as specified in Sec. 63.103(c)(1).
(i) Monitoring data required by this section indicating a leak and
the date when the leak was detected, and if demonstrated not to be a
leak, the basis for that determination;
(ii) Records of any leaks detected by procedures subject to
paragraph (c)(2) of this section and the date the leak was discovered;
(iii) The dates of efforts to repair leaks; and
(iv) The method or procedure used to confirm repair of a leak and
the date repair was confirmed.
(2) Reports. If an owner or operator invokes the delay of repair
provisions for a heat exchange system, the following information shall
be submitted in the next semi-annual periodic report required by
Sec. 63.152(c) of subpart G of this part. If the leak remains
unrepaired, the information shall also be submitted in each subsequent
periodic report, until repair of the leak is reported.
(i) The owner or operator shall report the presence of the leak and
the date that the leak was detected.
(ii) The owner or operator shall report whether or not the leak has
been repaired.
(iii) The owner or operator shall report the reason(s) for delay of
repair. If delay of repair is invoked due to the reasons described in
paragraph (e)(2) of this section, documentation of emissions estimates
must also be submitted.
(iv) If the leak remains unrepaired, the owner or operator shall
report the expected date of repair.
(v) If the leak is repaired, the owner or operator shall report the
date the leak was successfully repaired.
7. Current tables 2 and 3 of subpart F are revised and table 4 is

considered a control device.
Cover, as used in the wastewater provisions, means a device or
system which is placed on or over a waste management unit containing
wastewater or residuals so that the entire surface area is enclosed to
minimize air emissions. A cover may have openings necessary for
operation, inspection, and maintenance of the waste management unit
such as access hatches, sampling ports, and gauge wells provided that
each opening is closed when not in use. Examples of covers include a
fixed roof installed on a wastewater tank, a lid installed on a
container, and an air-supported enclosure installed over a waste
management unit.

Point of determination means each point where process wastewater
exits the chemical manufacturing process unit.
Note to definition for point of determination: The regulation
allows determination of the characteristics of a wastewater stream
(1) at the point of determination or (2) downstream of the point of
determination if corrections are made for changes in flow rate and
annual average concentration of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds as
determined in Sec. 63.144 of this subpart. Such changes include
losses by air emissions; reduction of annual average concentration
or changes in flow rate by mixing with other water or wastewater
streams; and reduction in flow rate or annual average concentration
by treating or otherwise handling the wastewater stream to remove or
destroy hazardous air pollutants.
* * * * *
Process unit has the same meaning as chemical manufacturing process
unit as defined in this section.
* * * * *
Recapture device means an individual unit of equipment capable of
and used for the purpose of recovering chemicals, but not normally for

options are provided, the options may be used in combination for
different wastewater streams and/or for different compounds (e.g.,
Table 8 versus Table 9 compounds) in the same wastewater streams,
except where otherwise provided in this section. Once a Group 1
wastewater stream or residual removed from a Group 1 wastewater stream
has been treated in accordance with this subpart, it is no longer
subject to the requirements of this subpart.
(1) Existing source. If the wastewater stream, at an existing
source, is Group 1 for Table 9 compounds, comply with Sec. 63.138(b).
(2) New source. If the wastewater stream, at a new source, is Group
1 for Table 8 compounds, comply with Sec. 63.138(c). If the wastewater
stream, at a new source, is Group 1 for Table 9 compounds, comply with
Sec. 63.138(b). If the wastewater stream, at a new source, is Group 1
for Table 8 and Table 9 compounds, comply with both Sec. 63.138(b) and
Sec. 63.138(c).
Note to paragraph (a)(2): The requirements for Table 8 and/or
Table 9 compounds are similar and often identical.
(3) Biological treatment processes. Biological treatment processes
in compliance with this section may be either open or closed biological

flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds exiting the treatment process
shall be the sum of the mass flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds
in the wastewater stream exiting the biological treatment process and
the mass flow rate of the vented gas stream exiting the control device.
The mass flow rate entering the treatment process minus the mass flow
rate exiting the process determines the actual mass removal.

Sec. 63.144 Process wastewater provisions--test methods and procedures
for determining applicability and Group 1/Group 2 determinations
(determining which wastewater streams require control).
(a) Procedures to determine applicability. An owner or operator
shall comply with paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section for each
wastewater stream to determine which wastewater streams require control
for Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds. The owner or operator may use a
combination of the approaches in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this
section for different wastewater streams generated at the source.
(1) Determine Group 1 or Group 2 status. Determine whether a
wastewater stream is a Group 1 or Group 2 wastewater stream in
accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(2) Designate as Group 1. An owner or operator may designate as a
Group 1 wastewater stream a single wastewater stream or a mixture of
wastewater streams. The owner or operator is not
[[Page 2763]]
required to determine the concentration or flow rate for each
designated Group 1 wastewater stream for the purposes of this section.
(b) Procedures to establish concentrations, when determining Group
status under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. An owner or operator who
elects to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this
section shall determine the annual average concentration for Table 8
and/or Table 9 compounds according to paragraph (b)(1) of this section
for existing sources or paragraph (b)(2) of this section for new
sources. The annual average concentration shall be a flow weighted
average representative of actual or anticipated operation of the
chemical manufacturing process unit generating the wastewater over a
designated 12 month period. For flexible operation units, the owner or
operator shall consider the anticipated production over the designated
12 month period and include all wastewater streams generated by the
process equipment during this period. The owner/operator is not
required to determine the concentration of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds
that are not reasonably expected to be in the process.
(1) Existing sources. An owner or operator of an existing source
who elects to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this
section shall determine the flow weighted total annual average
concentration for Table 9 compounds. For the purposes of this section,
the term concentration, whether concentration is used alone or with
other terms, may be adjusted by multiplying by the compound-specific
fraction measured (Fm) factors listed in table 34 of this subpart
unless determined by the methods in Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(A) and/or (B).
When concentration is determined by Method 305 as specified in
Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(B), concentration may be adjusted by dividing by
the compound-specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this subpart.
When concentration is determined by Method 25D as specified in
Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(A), concentration may not be adjusted by the
compound-specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this subpart.
Compound-specific Fm factors may be used only when concentrations of
individual compounds are determined or when only one compound is in the
wastewater stream. Flow weighted total annual average concentration for
Table 9 compounds means the total mass of Table 9 compounds occurring
in the wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided
by the total mass of the wastewater stream during the same designated
12-month period. The total annual average concentration shall be
determined for each wastewater stream either at the point of
determination, or downstream of the point of determination with
adjustment for concentration changes made according to paragraph (b)(6)
of this section. The procedures specified in paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4),
and (b)(5) of this section are considered acceptable procedures for
determining the annual average concentration. They may be used in
combination, and no one procedure shall take precedence over another.
(2) New sources. An owner or operator of a new source who elects to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section shall
determine both the flow weighted total annual average concentration for
Table 9 compounds and the flow weighted annual average concentration
for each Table 8 compound. For the purposes of this section, the term
concentration, whether concentration is used alone or with other terms,
may be adjusted by multiplying by the compound-specific Fm factors
listed in table 34 of this subpart unless determined by the methods in
Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(A) and/or (B). When concentration is determined by
Method 305 as specified in Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(B), concentration may
be adjusted by dividing by the compound-specific Fm factors listed in
table 34 of this subpart. When concentration is determined by Method
25D as specified in Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(i)(A), concentration may not be
adjusted by the compound-specific Fm factors listed in table 34 of this
subpart. Compound-specific fraction measured factors are compound
specific and shall be used only when concentration of individual
compounds are determined or when only one compound is in the wastewater
stream. The flow weighted annual average concentration of each Table 8
compound means the mass of each Table 8 compound occurring in the
wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided by the
total mass of the wastewater stream during the same designated 12-month
period. Flow weighted total annual average concentration for Table 9
compounds means the total mass of Table 9 compounds occurring in the
wastewater stream during the designated 12-month period divided by the
total mass of the wastewater stream during the same designated 12-month
period. The annual average concentration shall be determined for each
wastewater stream either at the point of determination, or downstream
of the point of determination with adjustment for concentration changes
made according to paragraph (b)(6) of this section. Procedures
specified in paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5) of this section are
considered acceptable procedures for determining the annual average
concentration. They may be used in combination, and no one procedure
shall take precedence over another.
(3) Knowledge of the wastewater. Where knowledge is used to
determine the annual average concentration, the owner or operator shall
provide sufficient information to document the annual average
concentration for wastewater streams determined to be Group 2
wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual average
concentration is not required for Group 1 streams. Examples of
acceptable documentation include material balances, records of chemical
purchases, process stoichiometry, or previous test results. If test
data are used, the owner or operator shall provide documentation
describing the testing protocol and the means by which any losses of
volatile compounds during sampling, and the bias and accuracy of the
analytical method, were accounted for in the determination.
(4) Bench-scale or pilot-scale test data. Where bench-scale or
pilot-scale test data are used to determine the annual average
concentration, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient
information to document that the data are representative of the actual
annual average concentration, or are reliably indicative of another
relevant characteristic of the wastewater stream that could be used to
predict the annual average concentration. For concentration data, the
owner or operator shall also provide documentation describing the
testing protocol, and the means by which any losses of volatile
compounds during sampling, and the bias and accuracy of the analytical
method, were accounted for in the determination of annual average
concentration.
(5) Test data from sampling at the point of determination or at a
location downstream of the point of determination. Where an owner or
operator elects to comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section by
measuring the concentration for the relevant Table 8 or Table 9
compounds, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of
this paragraph. For each wastewater stream, measurements shall be made
either at the point of determination, or downstream of the point of
determination with adjustment for concentration changes made
[[Page 2764]]
according to paragraph (b)(6) of this section. A minimum of three
samples from each wastewater stream shall be taken. Samples may be grab
samples or composite samples.
(i) Methods. The owner or operator shall use any of the methods
specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i)(A) through (b)(5)(i)(F) of this
section.
(A) Method 25D. Use procedures specified in Method 25D of 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A.
(B) Method 305. Use procedures specified in Method 305 of 40 CFR
part 63, appendix A.
(C) Methods 624 and 625. Use procedures specified in Methods 624
and 625 of 40 CFR part 136, appendix A and comply with the sampling
protocol requirements specified in paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this
section. If these methods are used to analyze one or more compounds
that are not on the method's published list of approved compounds, the
Alternative Test Procedure specified in 40 CFR 136.4 and 136.5 shall be
followed. For Method 625, make corrections to the compounds for which
the analysis is being conducted based on the accuracy as recovery
factors in Table 7 of the method.
(D) Method 1624 and Method 1625. Use procedures specified in Method
1624 and Method 1625 of 40 CFR part 136, appendix A and comply with the
requirements specified in paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this section. If
these methods are used to analyze one or more compounds that are not on
the method's published list of approved compounds, the Alternative Test
Procedure specified in 40 CFR 136.4 and 136.5 shall be followed.
(E) Other EPA method(s). Use procedures specified in the method and
comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(ii) and
either paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) or (b)(5)(iii)(B) of this section.
(F) Method(s) other than EPA method. Use procedures specified in
the method and comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs
(b)(5)(ii) and (b)(5)(iii)(A) of this section.
(ii) Sampling plan. The owner or operator who is expressly referred
to this paragraph by provisions of this subpart shall prepare a
sampling plan. Wastewater samples shall be collected using sampling
procedures which minimize loss of organic compounds during sample
collection and analysis and maintain sample integrity. The sample plan
shall include procedures for determining recovery efficiency of the
relevant hazardous air pollutants listed in table 8 or table 9 of this
subpart. An example of an acceptable sampling plan would be one that
incorporates similar sampling and sample handling requirements to those
of Method 25D of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. The sampling plan shall be
maintained at the facility.
(iii) Validation of methods. The owner or operator shall validate
EPA methods other than Methods 25D, 305, 624, 625, 1624, and 1625 using
the procedures specified in paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) or (b)(5)(iii)(B)
of this section. The owner or operator shall validate other methods as
specified in paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(A) of this section.
(A) Validation of EPA methods and other methods. The method used to
measure organic hazardous air pollutants concentrations in the
wastewater shall be validated according to section 5.1 or 5.3, and the
corresponding calculations in section 6.1 or 6.3, of Method 301 of
appendix A of this part. The data are acceptable if they meet the
criteria specified in section 6.1.5 or 6.3.3 of Method 301 of appendix
A of this part. If correction is required under section 6.3.3 of Method
301 of appendix A of this part, the data are acceptable if the
correction factor is within the range 0.7 to 1.30. Other sections of
Method 301 of appendix A of this part are not required. The
concentrations of the individual organic hazardous air pollutants
measured in the water may be corrected to their concentrations had they
been measured by Method 305 of appendix A of this part, by multiplying
each concentration by the compound-specific fraction measured (Fm)
factor listed in table 34 of this subpart.
(B) Validation for EPA methods. Follow the procedures as specified
in ``Alternative Validation Procedure for EPA Waste Methods'' 40 CFR
part 63, appendix D.
(iv) Calculations of average concentration. The average
concentration for each individually speciated Table 8 compound shall be
calculated by adding the individual values determined for the specific
compound in each sample and dividing by the number of samples. The
total average concentration of Table 9 compounds shall be calculated by
first summing the concentration of the individual compounds to obtain a
total hazardous air pollutants concentration for the sample; add the
sample totals and then divide by the number of samples in the run to
obtain the sample average for the run. If the method used does not
speciate the compounds, the sample results should be added and this
total divided by the number of samples in the run to obtain the sample
average for the run.
(6) Adjustment for concentrations determined downstream of the
point of determination. The owner or operator shall make corrections to
the annual average concentration or total annual average concentration
when the concentration is determined downstream of the point of
determination at a location where: two or more wastewater streams have
been mixed; one or more wastewater streams have been treated; or,
losses to the atmosphere have occurred. The owner or operator shall
make the adjustments either to the individual data points or to the
final annual average concentration.
(c) Procedures to determine flow rate, when evaluating Group status
under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. An owner or operator who elects
to comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section shall determine the
annual average flow rate of the wastewater stream either at the point
of determination for each wastewater stream, or downstream of the point
of determination with adjustment for flow rate changes made according
to paragraph (c)(4) of this section. These procedures may be used in
combination for different wastewater streams at the source. The annual
average flow rate for the wastewater stream shall be representative of
actual or anticipated operation of the chemical manufacturing process
unit generating the wastewater over a designated 12-month period. The
owner or operator shall consider the total annual wastewater volume
generated by the chemical manufacturing process unit. If the chemical
manufacturing process unit is a flexible operation unit, the owner or
operator shall consider all anticipated production in the process
equipment over the designated 12-month period. The procedures specified
in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this section are considered
acceptable procedures for determining the flow rate. They may be used
in combination, and no one procedure shall take precedence over
another.
(1) Knowledge of the wastewater. The owner or operator may use
knowledge of the wastewater stream and/or the process to determine the
annual average flow rate. The owner or operator shall use the maximum
expected annual average production capacity of the process unit,
knowledge of the process, and/or mass balance information to either:
Estimate directly the annual average wastewater flow rate; or estimate
the total annual wastewater volume and then divide total volume by
525,600 minutes in a year. Where knowledge is used to determine the
[[Page 2765]]
annual average flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide
sufficient information to document the flow rate for wastewater streams
determined to be Group 2 wastewater streams. Documentation to determine
the annual average flow rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
(2) Historical Records. The owner or operator may use historical
records to determine the annual average flow rate. Derive the highest
annual average flow rate of wastewater from historical records
representing the most recent 5 years of operation or, if the process
unit has been in service for less than 5 years but at least 1 year,
from historical records representing the total operating life of the
process unit. Where historical records are used to determine the annual
average flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient
information to document the flow rate for wastewater streams determined
to be Group 2 wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual
average flow rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
(3) Measurements of flow rate. Where an owner or operator elects to
comply with paragraph (a)(1) of this section by measuring the flow
rate, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of this
paragraph. Measurements shall be made at the point of determination, or
at a location downstream of the point of determination with adjustments
for flow rate changes made according to paragraph (c)(4) of this
section. Where measurement data are used to determine the annual
average flow rate, the owner or operator shall provide sufficient
information to document the flow rate for wastewater streams determined
to be Group 2 wastewater streams. Documentation to determine the annual
average flow rate is not required for Group 1 streams.
(4) Adjustment for flow rates determined downstream of the point of
determination. The owner or operator shall make corrections to the
annual average flow rate of a wastewater stream when it is determined
downstream of the point of determination at a location where two or
more wastewater streams have been mixed or one or more wastewater
streams have been treated. The owner or operator shall make corrections
for such changes in the annual average flow rate.
Sec. 63.145 Process wastewater provisions--test methods and procedures
to determine compliance.
(a) General. This section specifies the procedures for performance
tests that are conducted to demonstrate compliance of a treatment
process or a control device with the control requirements specified in
Sec. 63.138 of this subpart. Owners or operators conducting a design
evaluation shall comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) or
(a)(2) of this section. Owners or operators conducting a performance
test shall comply with the applicable requirements in paragraphs (a)
through (i) of this section.
(1) Performance tests and design evaluations for treatment
processes. If design steam stripper option (Sec. 63.138(d)) or RCRA
option (Sec. 63.138(h)) is selected to comply with Sec. 63.138, neither
a design evaluation nor a performance test is required. For any other
non-biological treatment process, the owner or operator shall conduct
either a design evaluation as specified in Sec. 63.138(j), or a
performance test as specified in this section. For closed biological
treatment processes, the owner or operator shall conduct either a
design evaluation as specified in Sec. 63.138(j), or a performance test
as specified in this section. For each open biological treatment
process, the owner or operator shall conduct a performance test as
specified in this section.
Note: Some open biological treatment processes may not require a
performance test. Refer to Sec. 63.145(h) and table 36 of this
subpart to determine whether the biological treatment process meets
the criteria that exempt the owner or operator from conducting a
performance test.
(2) Performance tests and design evaluations for control devices.
The owner or operator shall conduct either a design evaluation as
specified in Sec. 63.139(d), or a performance test as specified in
paragraph (i) of this section for control devices other than flares and
paragraph (j) of this section for flares.
(3) Representative process unit operating conditions. Compliance
shall be demonstrated for representative operating conditions.
Operations during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction and
periods of nonoperation shall not constitute representative conditions.
The owner or operator shall record the process information that is
necessary to document operating conditions during the test.
(4) Representative treatment process or control device operating
conditions. Performance tests shall be conducted when the treatment
process or control device is operating at a representative inlet flow
rate and concentration. If the treatment process or control device will
be operating at several different sets of representative operating
conditions, the owner or operator shall comply with paragraphs
(a)(4)(i) and (a)(4)(ii) of this section. The owner or operator shall
record information that is necessary to document treatment process or
control device operating conditions during the test.
(i) Range of operating conditions. If the treatment process or
control device will be operated at several different sets of
representative operating conditions, performance testing over the
entire range is not required. In such cases, the performance test
results shall be supplemented with modeling and/or engineering
assessments to demonstrate performance over the operating range.
(ii) Consideration of residence time. If concentration and/or flow
rate to the treatment process or control device are not relatively
constant (i.e., comparison of inlet and outlet data will not be
representative of performance), the owner or operator shall consider
residence time, when determining concentration and flow rate.
(5) Testing equipment. All testing equipment shall be prepared and
installed as specified in the applicable test methods, or as approved
by the Administrator.
(6) Compounds not required to be considered in performance tests or
design evaluations. Compounds that meet the requirements specified in
paragraph (a)(6)(i), (a)(6)(ii), or (a)(6)(iii) of this section are not
required to be included in the performance test. Concentration
measurements based on Method 305 shall be adjusted by dividing each
concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in table 34 of
this subpart. Concentration measurements based on methods other than
Method 305 shall not be adjusted by the compound-specific Fm factor
listed in table 34 of this subpart.
(i) Compounds not used or produced by the chemical manufacturing
process unit; or
(ii) Compounds with concentrations at the point of determination
that are below 1 part per million by weight; or
(iii) Compounds with concentrations at the point of determination
that are below the lower detection limit where the lower detection
limit is greater than 1 part per million by weight. The method shall be
an analytical method for wastewater which has that compound as a target
analyte.
(7) Treatment using a series of treatment processes. In all cases
where the wastewater provisions in this subpart allow or require the
use of a treatment process to comply with emissions limitations, the
owner or operator may use multiple treatment processes. The owner or
operator complying with the requirements of Sec. 63.138(a)(7)(i), when
wastewater is
[[Page 2766]]
conveyed by hard-piping, shall comply with either Sec. 63.145(a)(7)(i)
or Sec. 63.145(a)(7)(ii) of this subpart. The owner or operator
complying with the requirements of Sec. 63.138(a)(7)(ii) of this
subpart shall comply with the requirements of Sec. 63.145(a)(7)(ii) of
this subpart.
(i) The owner or operator shall conduct the performance test across
each series of treatment processes. For each series of treatment
processes, inlet concentration and flow rate shall be measured either
where the wastewater stream enters the first treatment process in a
series of treatment processes, or prior to the first treatment process
as specified in Sec. 63.145(a)(9) of this subpart. For each series of
treatment processes, outlet concentration and flow rate shall be
measured where the wastewater stream exits the last treatment process
in the series of treatment processes, except when the last treatment
process is an open or a closed aerobic biological treatment process
demonstrating compliance by using the procedures in Sec. 63.145 (f) or
(g) of this subpart. When the last treatment process is either an open
or a closed aerobic biological treatment process demonstrating
compliance by using the procedures in Sec. 63.145 (f) or (g) of this
subpart, inlet and outlet concentrations and flow rates shall be
measured as provided in paragraphs (a)(7)(i)(A) and (a)(7)(i)(B) of
this section. The mass flow rates removed or destroyed by the series of
treatment processes and by the biological treatment process are all
used to calculate actual mass removal (AMR) as specified in
Sec. 63.145(f)(5)(ii) of this subpart.
(A) The inlet and outlet to the series of treatment processes prior
to the biological treatment process are the points at which the
wastewater enters the first treatment process and exits the last
treatment process in the series, respectively, except as provided in
paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section.
(B) The inlet to the biological treatment process shall be the
point at which the wastewater enters the biological treatment process
or the outlet from the series of treatment processes identified in
paragraph (a)(7)(i)(A) of this section, except as provided in paragraph
(a)(9)(ii) of this section.
(ii) The owner or operator shall conduct the performance test
across each treatment process in the series of treatment processes. The
mass flow rate removed or destroyed by each treatment process shall be
added together to determine whether compliance has been demonstrated
using Sec. 63.145 (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g), as applicable. If a
biological treatment process is one of the treatment processes in the
series of treatment processes, the inlet to the biological treatment
process shall be the point at which the wastewater enters the
biological treatment process, or the inlet to the equalization tank if
all the criteria of paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section are met.
(8) When using a biological treatment process to comply with
Sec. 63.138 of this subpart, the owner or operator may elect to
calculate the AMR using a subset of Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds
determined at the point of determination or downstream of the point of
determination with adjustment for concentration and flowrate changes
made according to Sec. 63.144(b)(6) and Sec. 63.144(c)(4) of this
subpart, respectively. All Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds measured to
determine the RMR, except as provided by Sec. 63.145(a)(6), shall be
included in the RMR calculation.
(9) The owner or operator determining the inlet for purposes of
demonstrating compliance with Sec. 63.145 (e), (f), or (g) of this
subpart may elect to comply with paragraph (a)(9)(i) or (a)(9)(ii) of
this section.
(i) When wastewater is conveyed exclusively by hard-piping from the
point of determination to a treatment process that is either the only
treatment process or the first in a series of treatment processes
(i.e., no treatment processes or other waste management units are used
upstream of this treatment process to store, handle, or convey the
wastewater), the inlet to the treatment process shall be at any
location from the point of determination to where the wastewater stream
enters the treatment process. When samples are taken upstream of the
treatment process and before wastewater streams have converged, the
owner or operator shall ensure that the mass flow rate of all Group 1
wastewater streams is accounted for when using Sec. 63.138 (e) or (f)
to comply and that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 and Group 2
wastewater streams is accounted for when using Sec. 63.138(g) to
comply, except as provided in Sec. 63.145(a)(6).
(ii) The owner or operator may consider the inlet to the
equalization tank as the inlet to the biological treatment process if
all the criteria in paragraphs (a)(9)(ii)(A) through (a)(9)(ii)(C) of
this section are met. The outlet from the series of treatment processes
prior to the biological treatment process is the point at which the
wastewater exits the last treatment process in the series prior to the
equalization tank, if the equalization tank and biological treatment
process are part of a series of treatment processes. The owner or
operator shall ensure that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 wastewater
streams is accounted for when using Sec. 63.138 (e) or (f) to comply
and that the mass flow rate of all Group 1 and Group 2 wastewater
streams is accounted for when using Sec. 63.138(g) to comply, except as
provided in Sec. 63.145(a)(6).
(A) The wastewater is conveyed by hard-piping from either the last
previous treatment process or the point of determination to the
equalization tank.
(B) The wastewater is conveyed from the equalization tank
exclusively by hard-piping to the biological treatment process and no
treatment processes or other waste management units are used to store,
handle, or convey the wastewater between the equalization tank and the
biological treatment process.
(C) The equalization tank is equipped with a fixed roof and a
closed vent system that routes emissions to a control device that meets
the requirements of Sec. 63.133(a)(2)(i) and Sec. 63.133 (b)(1) through
(b)(4) of this subpart.
(b) Noncombustion treatment process--concentration limits. This
paragraph applies to performance tests that are conducted to
demonstrate compliance of a noncombustion treatment process with the
parts per million by weight wastewater stream concentration limits at
the outlet of the treatment process. This compliance option is
specified in Sec. 63.138(b)(1) and Sec. 63.138(c)(1). Wastewater
samples shall be collected using sampling procedures which minimize
loss of organic compounds during sample collection and analysis and
maintain sample integrity per Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(ii). Samples shall be
collected and analyzed using the procedures specified in Sec. 63.144
(b)(5)(i), (b)(5)(ii), and (b)(5)(iii) of this subpart. Samples may be
grab samples or composite samples. Samples shall be taken at
approximately equally spaced time intervals over a 1-hour period. Each
1-hour period constitutes a run, and the performance test shall consist
of a minimum of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based on Method 305
may be adjusted by dividing each concentration by the compound-specific
Fm factor listed in Table 34 of this subpart. Concentration
measurements based on methods other than Method 305 may be adjusted by
multiplying each concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor
listed in table 34 of this subpart. (For wastewater streams that are
Group 1 for both Table 8 and Table 9 compounds, compliance is
[[Page 2767]]
demonstrated only if the sum of the concentrations of Table 9 compounds
is less than 50 ppmw, and the concentration of each Table 8 compound is
less than 10 ppmw.)
(c) Noncombustion, nonbiological treatment process: Percent mass
removal/destruction option. This paragraph applies to performance tests
that are conducted to demonstrate compliance of a noncombustion,
nonbiological treatment process with the percent mass removal limits
specified in Sec. 63.138(e) (1) and (2) for Table 8 and/or Table 9
compounds. The owner or operator shall comply with the requirements
specified in Sec. 63.145 (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this subpart.
(1) Concentration. The concentration of Table 8 and/or Table 9
compounds entering and exiting the treatment process shall be
determined as provided in this paragraph. Wastewater samples shall be
collected using sampling procedures which minimize loss of organic
compounds during sample collection and analysis and maintain sample
integrity per Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(ii). The method shall be an analytical
method for wastewater which has that compound as a target analyte.
Samples may be grab samples or composite samples. Samples shall be
taken at approximately equally spaced time intervals over a 1-hour
period. Each 1-hour period constitutes a run, and the performance test
shall consist of a minimum of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based
on Method 305 shall be adjusted by dividing each concentration by the
compound-specific Fm factor listed in Table 34 of this subpart.
Concentration measurements based on methods other than Method 305 shall
not adjust by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in Table 34 of
this subpart.
(2) Flow rate. The flow rate of the entering and exiting wastewater
streams shall be determined using inlet and outlet flow meters,
respectively. Where the outlet flow is not greater than the inlet flow,
a flow meter shall be used, and may be used at either the inlet or
outlet. Flow rate measurements shall be taken at the same time as the
concentration measurements.
(3) Calculation of mass flow rate--for noncombustion, nonbiological
treatment processes. The mass flow rates of Table 8 and/or Table 9
compounds entering and exiting the treatment process are calculated as
follows.

Where:
E=Removal or destruction efficiency of the treatment process, percent.
QMWa, QMWb=Mass flow rate of Table 8 or Table 9 compounds in
wastewater entering (QMWa) and exiting (QMWb) the treatment
process, kilograms per hour (as calculated using Equations WW1 and
WW2).
(5) Calculation of flow-weighted average of Fr values. If complying
with Sec. 63.138(e)(2), use Equation WW8 to calculate the flow-weighted
average of the Fr values listed in Table 9 of this subpart. When the
term ``combustion'' is used in Equation WW8, the term ``treatment
process'' shall be used for the purposes of this paragraph.
(6) Compare mass removal efficiency to required efficiency. Compare
the mass removal efficiency (calculated in Equation WW3) to the
required efficiency as specified in Sec. 63.138(e) of this subpart. If
complying with Sec. 63.138(e)(1), compliance is demonstrated if the
mass removal efficiency is 99 percent or greater. If complying with
Sec. 63.138(e)(2), compliance is demonstrated if the mass removal
efficiency is greater than or equal to the flow-weighted average of the
Fr values calculated in Equation WW8.
(d) Combustion treatment processes: percent mass removal/
destruction option. This paragraph applies to performance tests that
are conducted to demonstrate compliance of a combustion treatment
process with the percent mass destruction limits specified in
Sec. 63.138(e) (1) and (2) for Table 9 compounds, and/or
Sec. 63.138(e)(1) for Table 8 compounds. The owner or operator shall
comply with the requirements specified in Sec. 63.145 (d)(1) through
(d)(9) of this subpart. (Wastewater streams that are Group 1 for both
Table 8 and Table 9 compounds need only do the compliance demonstration
for Table 9 compounds.)
(1) Concentration in wastewater stream entering the combustion
treatment process. The concentration of
[[Page 2768]]
Table 8 and/or Table 9 compounds entering the treatment process shall
be determined as provided in this paragraph. Wastewater samples shall
be collected using sampling procedures which minimize loss of organic
compounds during sample collection and analysis and maintain sample
integrity per Sec. 63.144(b)(5)(ii). The method shall be an analytical
method for wastewater which has that compound as a target analyte.
Samples may be grab samples or composite samples. Samples shall be
taken at approximately equally spaced time intervals over a 1-hour
period. Each 1-hour period constitutes a run, and the performance test
shall consist of a minimum of 3 runs. Concentration measurements based
on Method 305 of appendix A of this part shall be adjusted by dividing
each concentration by the compound-specific Fm factor listed in table
34 of this subpart. Concentration measurements based on methods other
than Method 305 shall not adjust by the compound-specific Fm factor
listed in table 34 of this subpart.
(2) Flow rate of wastewater entering the combustion treatment
process. The flow rate of the wastewater stream entering the combustion
treatment process shall be determined using an inlet flow meter. Flow
rate measurements shall be taken at the same time as the concentration
measurements.
(3) Calculation of mass flow rate in wastewater stream entering
combustion treatment processes. The mass flow rate of Table 8 and/or
Table 9 compounds entering the treatment process is calculated as
follows:

(c) * * *
(2)(i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section,
the detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method
21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response factor
criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the average
composition of the process fluid not each individual volatile organic
compound in the stream. For process streams that contain nitrogen, air,
or other inerts which are not organic hazardous air pollutants or
volatile organic compounds, the average stream response factor shall be
calculated on an inert-free basis.
(ii) If no instrument is available at the plant site that will meet
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this
section, the
[[Page 2776]]
instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the average
response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an inert-free basis
as described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section.
* * * * *
(4) * * *
(ii) Mixtures of methane in air at a concentration less than 10,000
parts per million. A calibration gas other than methane in air may be
used if the instrument does not respond to methane or if the instrument
does not meet the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(i)
of this section. In such cases, the calibration gas may be a mixture of
one or more of the compounds to be measured in air.
(5) An owner or operator may elect to adjust or not adjust
instrument readings for background. If an owner or operator elects to
not adjust readings for background, all such instrument readings shall
be compared directly to the applicable leak definition to determine
whether there is a leak. If an owner or operator elects to adjust
instrument readings for background, the owner or operator shall measure
background concentration using the procedures in Secs. 63.180(b) and
(c) of subpart H of this part. The owner or operator shall subtract
background reading from the maximum concentration indicated by the

(C) If a monitored parameter is outside its established range or
monitoring data are not collected during periods of start-up, shutdown,
or malfunction (and the source is operated during such periods in
accordance with the source's start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan
as required by Sec. 63.6(e)(3) of subpart A of this part) or during
periods of nonoperation of the chemical manufacturing process unit or
portion thereof (resulting in cessation of the emissions to which the
monitoring applies), then the excursion is not a violation and, in
cases where continuous monitoring is required, the excursion does not
count toward the number of excused excursions for determining
compliance.
* * * * *
(E) Paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, except paragraph
(c)(2)(ii)(C) of this section, shall apply only to emission points and
control devices or recovery devices for which continuous monitoring is

paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this section as alternatives to the
continuous operating parameter monitoring and recordkeeping provisions
listed in Secs. 63.114, 63.117, and 63.118 for process vents,
Secs. 63.127, 63.129, and 63.130 for transfer operations, Secs. 63.143,
63.146, and 63.147 for wastewater, and/or Sec. 63.152(f), except that
Sec. 63.152(f)(7) shall apply. The owner or operator shall retain each
record required by paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this section as
provided in Sec. 63.103(c) of subpart F of this part, except as
provided otherwise in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this section.
(1) The owner or operator may retain only the daily average value,
and is not required to retain more frequent monitored operating
parameter values, for a monitored parameter with respect to an item of
equipment, if the requirements of paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through
(g)(1)(vi) of this section are met. An owner or operator electing to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section shall
notify the Administrator in the Notification of Compliance Status or,
if the Notification of Compliance Status has already been submitted, in
the periodic report immediately preceding implementation of the
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section.
(i) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unrealistic or
impossible data during periods of operation other than startups,
shutdowns, or malfunctions (e.g., a temperature reading of -200 deg. C
on a boiler), and will alert the operator by alarm or other means. The
owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All instances of the
alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a single
occurrence.
(ii) The monitoring system generates, updated at least hourly
throughout each operating day, a running average of the monitoring
values that have been obtained during that operating day, and the
capability to observe this average is readily available to the
Administrator on-site during the operating day. The owner or operator
shall record the occurrence of any period meeting the criteria in
paragraphs (g)(1)(ii)(A) through (g)(1)(iii)(C) of this section. All
instances in an operating day constitute a single occurrence.
(A) The running average is above the maximum or below the minimum
established limits;
(B) The running average is based on at least 6 1-hour average
values; and
(C) The running average reflects a period of operation other than a
startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
(iii) The monitoring system is capable of detecting unchanging data
during periods of operation other than startups, shutdowns, or
malfunctions, except in circumstances where the presence of unchanging
data is the expected operating condition based on past experience
(e.g., pH in some scrubbers), and will alert the operator by alarm or
other means. The owner or operator shall record the occurrence. All
instances of the alarm or other alert in an operating day constitute a
single occurrence.
(iv) The monitoring system will alert the owner or operator by an
alarm or other means, if the running average parameter value calculated
under paragraph (g)(1)(ii) of this section reaches a set point that is
appropriately related to the established limit for the parameter that
is being monitored.
(v) The owner or operator shall verify the proper functioning of
the monitoring system, including its ability to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section, at the times
specified in paragraphs (g)(1)(v)(A) through (g)(1)(v)(C) of this
section. The owner or operator shall document that the required
verifications occurred.
(A) Upon initial installation.
(B) Annually after initial installation.
(C) After any change to the programming or equipment constituting
the monitoring system, which might reasonably be expected to alter the
monitoring system's ability to comply with the requirements of this
section.
(vi) The owner or operator shall retain the records identified in
paragraphs (g)(1)(vi) (A) through (C) of this section.
(A) Identification of each parameter, for each item of equipment,
for which the owner or operator has elected to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (g) of this section.
(B) A description of the applicable monitoring system(s), and of
how compliance will be achieved with each requirement of paragraph
(g)(1)(i) through (g)(1)(v) of this section. The description shall
identify the location and format (e.g., on-line storage; log entries)
for each required record. If the description changes, the owner or
operator shall retain both the current and the most recent superseded
description. The description, and the most recent superseded
description, shall be retained as provided in Sec. 63.103(c) of subpart
F of this part, except as provided in paragraph (g)(1)(vi)(D) of this
section.
(C) A description, and the date, of any change to the monitoring
system that would reasonably be expected to affect its ability to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section.
(D) Owners and operators subject to paragraph (g)(1)(vi)(B) of
this section shall retain the current description of the monitoring
system as long as the description is current, but not less than 5 years
from the date of its creation. The current description shall, at all
times, be retained on-site or be accessible from a central location by
computer or other means that provides access within 2 hours after a
request. The owner or operator shall retain the most recent superseded
description at least until 5 years from the date of its creation. The
superseded description shall be retained on-site (or accessible from a
central location by computer that provides access within 2 hours after
a request) at least 6 months after its creation. Thereafter, the
superseded description may be stored off-site.
(2) If an owner or operator has elected to implement the
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section, and a period of 6
consecutive months has passed without an excursion as defined
[[Page 2779]]
in paragraph (g)(2)(iv) of this section, the owner or operator is no
longer required to record the daily average value for that parameter
for that unit of equipment, for any operating day when the daily
average value is less than the maximum, or greater than the minimum
established limit. With approval by the Administrator, monitoring data
generated prior to the compliance date of this subpart shall be
credited toward the period of 6 consecutive months, if the parameter
limit and the monitoring was required and/or approved by the
Administrator.
(i) If the owner or operator elects not to retain the daily
average values, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in
the next periodic report. The notification shall identify the parameter
and unit of equipment.
(ii) If, on any operating day after the owner or operator has
ceased recording daily averages as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of this
section, there is an excursion as defined in paragraph (g)(2)(iv) of
this section, the owner or operator shall immediately resume retaining
the daily average value for each day, and shall notify the
Administrator in the next periodic report. The owner or operator shall
continue to retain each daily average value until another period of 6
consecutive months has passed without an excursion as defined in
paragraph (g)(2)(iv) of this section.
(iii) The owner or operator shall retain the records specified in
paragraphs (g)(1) (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) of this
section. For any calendar week, if compliance with paragraphs (g)(1)
(i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) of this section does not result in retention
of a record of at least one occurrence or measured parameter value, the
owner or operator shall record and retain at least one parameter value
during a period of operation other than a startup, shutdown, or
malfunction.
(iv) For purposes of paragraph (g) of this section, an excursion
means that the daily average value of monitoring data for a parameter
is greater than the maximum, or less than the minimum established
value, except as provided in paragraphs (g)(2)(iv)(A) and (g)(2)(iv)(B)
of this section.
(A) The daily average value during any start-up, shutdown, or
malfunction shall not be considered an excursion for purposes of this
paragraph (g)(2), if the owner or operator follows the applicable
provisions of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan required by
Sec. 63.6(e)(3) of subpart A of this part.
(B) An excused excursion, as described in Sec. 63.152(c)(2)(ii)
(B) and (C), shall not be considered an excursion for purposes of this
paragraph (g)(2).
