Section 11-60.1-40 - Volatile organic compound water separation(a) No person shall use any single or multiple compartment volatile organic compound water separator which receives effluent water containing two hundred gallons (seven hundred sixty liters) or more of any volatile organic compound a day from any equipment that is processing, refining, treating, storing, or handling volatile organic compounds having a Reid vapor pressure of 0.5 pounds per square inch or greater unless such compartment is equipped with a properly installed vapor loss control device described as follows and which is in good working order, and in operation: (1) A container having all openings sealed which totally encloses the liquid content. All gauging and sampling devices shall be gas-tight except when gauging or sampling is taking place;(2) A container equipped with a floating roof, consisting of a pontoon type roof, double deck-type roof, or internal floating cover roof, which will rest on the surface of the liquid contents and be equipped with a closure seal or seals to close the space between the roof edge and container wall. All gauging and sampling devices shall be gas-tight except when gauging or sampling is taking place;(3) A container equipped with a vapor recovery system consisting of a vapor gathering system capable of collecting the volatile organic compound vapors and gases discharged, and a vapor disposal system capable of processing such volatile organic compound vapors and gases to prevent their emission to the atmosphere. All container gauging and sampling devices shall be gas-tight except when gauging and sampling is taking place; or(4) A container having other equipment of equal efficiency for purposes of air pollution control may be approved by the director after demonstrating equivalence to the director by one of the following methods: (A) an actual emissions test in a full size or scale sealed tank facility which accurately collects and measures all hydrocarbon emissions associated with a given closure device, and which accurately simulates other emission variables, such as temperature, barometric pressure and wind. The test facility shall be subject to prior approval by the director, or(B) a pressure leak test, engineering evaluation or other means where the director determines that the same is an accurate method of determining equivalence.(b) Compliance with Reid vapor pressure requirements shall be determined by evaluating Reid vapor pressure pursuant to ASTM Method D323-99 or other EPA approved methods.Haw.
