Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 721.963 - Test Methods and Procedures
a) Each
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material subject to the provisions of this Subpart BB must comply with the test
methods and procedures requirements provided in this Section.
b) Leak detection monitoring, as required in
Sections
721.952
through
721.962,
must comply with the following requirements:
1) Monitoring must comply with Reference
Method 21 (Determination of Volatile Organic Compound Leaks) in appendix A to
40 CFR 60 (Test Methods), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111.
2) The detection instrument must meet the
performance criteria of Reference Method 21.
3) The instrument must be calibrated before
use on each day of its use by the procedures specified in Reference Method
21.
4) Calibration gases must be as
follows:
A) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of
hydrocarbon in air); and
B) A
mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of approximately, but
less than, 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane.
5) The instrument probe must be traversed
around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as
described in Reference Method 21.
c) When equipment is tested for compliance
with no detectable emissions, as required in Sections
721.952(e),
721.953(i),
721.954,
and
721.957(f),
the test must comply with the following requirements:
1) The requirements of subsections (b)(1)
through (b)(4).
2) The background
level must be determined as set forth in Reference Method 21.
3) The instrument probe must be traversed
around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as
described in Reference Method 21.
4) The arithmetic difference between the
maximum concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level is
compared with 500 ppm for determining compliance.
d) A remanufacturer or other person that
stores or treats the hazardous secondary material must determine, for each
piece of equipment, whether the equipment contains or contacts a hazardous
secondary material with organic concentration that equals or exceeds 10 percent
by weight using the following:
1) Methods
described in ASTM Methods D 2267-88, E 169-87, E 168-88, E 260-85, incorporated
by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111;
2) Method 9060A of "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste", USEPA Publication SW-846, incorporated by reference in
35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, for computing total organic concentration of the
sample, or analyzed for its individual organic constituents; or
3) Application of the knowledge of the nature
of the hazardous secondary material stream or the process by which it was
produced. Documentation of a material determination by knowledge is required.
Examples of documentation that must be used to support a determination under
this provision include production process information documenting that no
organic compounds are used, information that the material is generated by a
process that is identical to a process at the same or another facility that has
previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to have a total organic
content less than 10 percent, or prior speciation analysis results on the same
material stream, where it can also be documented that no process changes have
occurred since that analysis that could affect the material total organic
concentration.
e) If a
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material determines that a piece of equipment contains or contacts a hazardous
secondary material with organic concentrations at least 10 percent by weight,
the determination can be revised only after following the procedures in
subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2).
f)
When a remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous
secondary material and the Agency do not agree on whether a piece of equipment
contains or contacts a hazardous secondary material with organic concentrations
at least 10 percent by weight, the procedures in subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2)
can be used to resolve the dispute. The Agency must state any disagreement on
whether a piece of equipment contains or contacts a hazardous secondary
material with organic concentrations at least 10 percent by weight in writing
to the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous
secondary material.
g) Samples used
in determining the percent organic content must be representative of the
highest total organic content hazardous secondary material that is expected to
be contained in or contact the equipment.
h) To determine if pumps or valves are in
light liquid service, the vapor pressures of constituents may be obtained from
standard reference texts or may be determined by ASTM D 2879-92, incorporated
by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111.
i) Performance tests to determine if a
control device achieves 95 weight percent organic emission reduction must
comply with the procedures of Section
721.934(c)(1) through
(c)(4).
