La. Admin. Code tit. 33 § V-536

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section V-536 - Specific Part II Information Requirements for Equipment

Except as otherwise provided in LAC 33:V.1501, owners and operators of facilities that have equipment to which LAC 33:V.Chapter 17.Subchapter B applies must provide the following additional information.

A. For each piece of equipment to which LAC 33:V.Chapter 17.Subchapter B, applies, the following information must be provided:

1. equipment identification number and hazardous waste management unit identification;

2. approximate locations within the facility (e.g., identify the hazardous waste management unit on a facility plot plan);

3. type of equipment (e.g., a pump or pipeline valve);

4. percent by weight total organics in the hazardous waste stream at the equipment;

5. hazardous waste state at the equipment (e.g., gas/vapor or liquid); and

6. method of compliance with the standard (e.g., "monthly leak detection and repair" or "equipped with dual mechanical seals").

B. Facilities that cannot install a closed-vent system and control device to comply with the provisions of LAC 33:V.Chapter 17.Subchapter B, on the effective date that the facility becomes subject to the provisions of LAC 33:V.Chapter 17.Subchapter B, or Chapter 43.Subchapter R, must provide an implementation schedule as specified in LAC 33:V.1709.A.2.

C. Owners or operators who apply for permission to use a control device other than a thermal vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater, condenser, or carbon adsorption system and choose to use test data to determine the organic removal efficiency or the total organic compound concentration achieved by the control device must provide a performance test plan as specified in LAC 33:V.1713.B.3.

D. Documentation that demonstrates compliance with the equipment standards in LAC 33:V.1719-1733 must be provided. This documentation shall contain the records required under LAC 33:V.1743. The administrative authority may request further documentation before deciding if compliance has been demonstrated.

E. Documentation to demonstrate compliance with LAC 33:V.1735 shall be provided and include the following information:

1. a list of all information references and sources used in preparing the documentation;

2. records, including the dates, of each compliance test required by LAC 33:V.1709.J;

3. a design analysis, specifications, drawings, schematics, and piping and instrumentation diagrams based on the appropriate sections of "APTI Course 415: Control of Gaseous Emissions," as incorporated by reference at LAC 33:V.110, or other engineering texts acceptable to the administrative authority that present basic control device information. The design analysis shall address the vent stream characteristics and control device operation parameters as specified in LAC 33:V.1713.B.4.c;

4. a statement signed and dated by the owner or operator certifying that the operating parameters used in the design analysis reasonably represent the conditions that exist when the hazardous waste management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur;

5. a statement signed and dated by the owner or operator certifying that the control device is designed to operate at an efficiency of 95 weight percent or greater.
