Section 250-RICR-120-05-32.7 - Emission LimitationsA. A loading event shall not be conducted unless one of the following conditions is met: 1. Volatile organic compounds emissions do not exceed 5.7 grams per cubic meter (2 pounds per 1000 barrels) of liquid loaded into the marine tank vessel, or,2. The emissions of volatile organic compounds are reduced by at least 95 percent by weight from uncontrolled conditions if a recovery device is used and by at least 98 percent by weight from uncontrolled conditions if a combustion device is used.B. All of a marine terminal's hatches, pressure relief valves, connections, gauging ports and vents which are used in connection with a loading event shall be leak free.C. A loading event shall not be conducted unless the receiving marine vessel is vapor tight. To determine whether a marine vessel is vapor tight, the owner or operator of the marine terminal must follow the following procedures for each loading event, with the exception of loading events performed at a negative pressure: 1. Obtain a copy of the record of the most recent pressure test or leak test on the receiving marine vessel. The record must contain all information specified in § 32.8(B) of this Part.2. If, according to the records obtained pursuant to the requirements of § 32.7(C)(1) of this Part, the marine vessel passed the most recent pressure or leak test and that test was performed within the previous 12 month period, the vessel shall be considered vapor tight.3. If, according to the records obtained pursuant to the requirements of § 32.7(C)(1) of this Part, the marine vessel failed its most recent leak or pressure test, no loading event shall be conducted unless the operator of the marine vessel provides written documentation that all leaks have been repaired subsequent to the failed test. Any loading event involving a marine vessel that has been repaired subsequent to failing its most recent leak or pressure test must be conducted in conjunction with the performance of a leak test, as specified in § 32.7(C)(4) of this Part.4. If, according to the records obtained pursuant to the requirements of § 32.7(C)(1) of this Part, the marine vessel has not passed a leak or pressure test within the previous 12 month period, a leak test of the vessel shall be performed during the loading event. No loading events shall be performed if the vessel failed its most recent leak test or pressure test and does not provide the owner or operator of the marine terminal with documentation that shows that all leaks subsequently have been repaired, as specified in § 32.7(C)(3) of this Part.5. A person testing a marine vessel to determine whether that vessel is vapor tight shall provide the operator of the marine vessel and the owner or operator of the marine terminal with documentation of the test which includes all information specified in § 32.8(B) of this Part.250 R.I.
