Section 33.1-15-07-01 - Requirements for construction of organic compounds facilities1.Scope. This section applies only to those facilities considered "new" as defined in section 33.1-15-01-04.2.Water separation from petroleum products. No person may build or install any single or multiple compartment volatile organic compounds - water separator which normally receives effluent water containing two hundred gallons [757.08 liters] per day or more of any volatile organic liquid from any equipment processing, refining, treating, storing, or handling volatile organic compounds unless such compartment is equipped with a closed-vent system and control device as defined in 40 CFR, part 60, subpart QQQ, section 60.691, as adopted in 33.1-15-12, or a floating roof as described in 40 CFR, part 60, subpart QQQ, section 60.693-2, as adopted in 33.1-15-12, which is properly installed and in good working order. For the purposes of this section, a volatile organic compounds - water separator means a device used to separate an oil water mixture into its separate components, which include volatile organic compounds and water, by gravity separation and skimming.3.Submerged fill pipes required. No person may build or install or permit the building or installation of a stationary volatile organic compounds storage tank with a capacity of one thousand gallons [3,785.41 liters] or more unless such tank is equipped with a submerged fill pipe during filling operations or is a pressure tank as described in 40 CFR, part 60, subpart K, subparagraph 60.111(a)(1), as adopted in 33.1-15-12, or fitted with a vapor recovery system also defined in 40 CFR, part 60, subpart K, paragraph 60.111(k), as adopted in 33.1-15-12.4.Volatile organic compounds loading facilities. No person may build or install or permit the building or installation of volatile organic compounds tank car or tank truck loading facilities handling twenty thousand gallons [75,708.24 liters] per day or more unless such facilities are operated with a submerged filling arm or other vapor emission control system. Any emissions control system utilized must have a minimum control efficiency necessary to meet the requirements of 33.1-15-02 and 33.1-15-16.5.Pumps and compressors. All rotating pumps and compressors handling volatile organic compounds must be equipped and operated with properly maintained seals designed for their specific product service and operating conditions.N.D.
