Ohio Admin. Code 3745-256-35 - Recordkeeping - process vents
(A)
(1)
Each owner or operator subject to rules
3745-256-30 to
3745-256-35 of the
Administrative Code shall comply with the recordkeeping requirements of this
rule.
(2)
An owner or operator of more than one hazardous waste
management unit subject to rules
3745-256-30 to
3745-256-35 of the
Administrative Code may comply with the recordkeeping requirements for these
hazardous waste management units in one recordkeeping system if the system
identifies each record by each hazardous waste management unit.
(B)
Owners
and operators shall record the following information in the facility operating
record:
(1)
For
facilities that comply with paragraph (A)(2) of rule
3745-256-33 of the
Administrative Code, an implementation schedule that includes dates by which
the closed-vent system and control device will be installed and in operation.
The schedule also shall include a rationale of why the installation cannot be
completed at an earlier date. The implementation schedule shall be in the
facility operating record by the effective date that the facility becomes
subject to rules
3745-256-30 to
3745-256-35 of the
Administrative Code.
(2)
Up to date documentation of compliance with the process
vent standards in rule
3745-256-32 of the
Administrative Code, including:
(a)
Information and data identifying all affected process
vents, annual throughput and operating hours of each affected unit, estimated
emission rates for each affected vent and for the overall facility (i.e., the
total emissions for all affected vents at the facility), and the approximate
location within the facility of each affected unit (e.g., identify the
hazardous waste management units on a facility plot plan); and
(b)
Information and
data supporting determinations of vent emissions and emission reductions
achieved by add-on control devices based on engineering calculations or source
tests. For the purpose of determining compliance, determinations of vent
emissions and emission reductions shall be made using operating parameter
values (e.g., temperatures, flow rates or vent stream organic compounds and
concentrations) that represent the conditions that result in maximum organic
emissions, such as when the waste management unit is operating at the highest
load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. If the owner or operator
takes any action (e.g., managing a waste of different composition or increasing
operating hours of affected waste management units) that would result in an
increase in total organic emissions from affected process vents at the
facility, then a new determination is required.
(3)
Where an owner or
operator chooses to use test data to determine the organic removal efficiency
or total organic compound concentration achieved by the control device, a
performance test plan. The test plan shall include:
(a)
A description of
how it is determined that the planned test is going to be conducted when the
hazardous waste management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity
level reasonably expected to occur. This shall include the estimated or design
flow rate and organic content of each vent stream and define the acceptable
operating ranges of key process and control device parameters during the test
program.
(b)
A detailed engineering description of the closed-vent
system and control device including:
(i)
Manufacturer's name and model number of control
device.
(ii)
Type of control device.
(iii)
Dimensions of
the control device.
(iv)
Capacity.

materials.

procedures, including sampling and monitoring locations in the system, the
equipment to be used, sampling and monitoring frequency, and planned analytical
procedures for sample analysis.

3745-256-33 of the
Administrative Code shall include the following information:
(a)
A list of all
information references and sources used in preparing the
documentation.
(b)

required by paragraph (J) of rule
3745-256-33 of the
Administrative Code.

analysis, specifications, drawings, schematics, and piping and instrumentation
diagrams based on the appropriate sections of "APTI Course 415: Control of
Gaseous Emissions" or other engineering texts acceptable to the director that
present basic control device design information. Documentation provided by the
control device manufacturer or vendor that describes the control device design
in accordance with paragraphs (B)(4)(c)(i) to (B)(4)(c)(vii) of this rule may
be used to comply with this requirement. The design analysis shall address the
vent stream characteristics and control device operation parameters as
specified in this paragraph.

exhaust vent stream organic compound concentration level, number and capacity
of carbon beds, type and working capacity of activated carbon used for carbon
beds, design total steam flow over the period of each complete carbon bed
regeneration cycle, duration of the carbon bed steaming and cooling and drying
cycles, design carbon bed temperature after regeneration, design carbon bed
regeneration time, and design service life of carbon.

Administrative Code for affected process vents at the facility can be attained
by a control device involving vapor recovery at an efficiency less than
