Section 26.11.13.02 - Applicability and Exemptions

A. A source which is subject to the provisions of this chapter is also subject to the provisions of any other chapter. However, when this chapter establishes an emission standard for a specific installation which differs from the general emission standard in COMAR 26.11.01-.09, this chapter takes precedence.

B. This chapter applies throughout the State. The NSPS requirements under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K (effective June 11, 1973), Subpart Ka (effective May 18, 1978), Subpart Kb (effective July 23, 1984), and Subpart XX apply throughout the State.

C. Exemptions for Large Storage Tanks.

(1) A welded tank is exempt from the secondary seal requirements of Regulation .03B(2)(a) of this chapter if it contains gasoline or VOC with a TVP less than 4 psia (2.75 kilonewton/square meter) and has a primary seal.

(2) The secondary seal requirements under Regulation .03A(1)(b)(i) of this chapter do not apply if the storage tank is equipped with a liquid mounted seal.

D. The provisions of this chapter do not apply to the filling of a motor vehicle's fuel tank.

E. If a source becomes subject to any requirement in this chapter because it exceeds a regulation applicability level, the source shall continue to be subject to all applicable requirements, regardless of whether future throughput is below the regulation threshold.
