                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
                           AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 270--EPA ADMINISTERED PERMIT PROGRAMS: THE HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart B--Permit Application
 
Sec. 270.24  Specific part B information requirements for process vents.

    Except as otherwise provided in Sec. 264.1, owners and operators of 
facilities that have process vents to which subpart AA of part 264 
applies must provide the following additional information:
    (a) For facilities that cannot install a closed-vent system and 
control device to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR 264 subpart AA on 
the effective date that the facility becomes subject to the provisions 
of 40 CFR 264 or 265 subpart AA, an implementation schedule as specified 
in Sec. 264.1033(a)(2).
    (b) Documentation of compliance with the process vent standards in 
Sec. 264.1032, including:
    (1) 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).
    (2) Information and data supporting estimates of vent emissions and 
emission reduction achieved by add-on control devices based on 
engineering calculations or source tests. For the purpose of determining 
compliance, estimates of vent emissions and emission reductions must be 
made using operating parameter values (e.g., temperatures, flow rates, 
or concentrations) that represent the conditions that exist when the 
waste management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity level 
reasonably expected to occur.
    (3) Information and data used to determine whether or not a process 
vent is subject to the requirements of Sec. 264.1032.
    (c) Where an owner or operator applies for permission to use a 
control device other than a thermal vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor 
incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater, condenser, or carbon 
adsorption system to comply with the requirements of Sec. 264.1032, and 
chooses to use test data to determine the organic removal efficiency or 
the total organic compound concentration achieved by the control device, 
a performance test plan as specified in Sec. 264.1035(b)(3).
    (d) Documentation of compliance with Sec. 264.1033, including:
    (1) A list of all information references and sources used in 
preparing the documentation.
    (2) Records, including the dates, of each compliance test required 
by Sec. 264.1033(k).
    (3) A design analysis, specifications, drawings, schematics, and 
piping and instrumentation diagrams based on the appropriate sections of 
``APTI Course 415: Control of Gaseous Emissions'' (incorporated by 
reference as specified in Sec. 260.11) or other engineering texts 
acceptable to the Regional Administrator that present basic control 
device design information. The design analysis shall address the vent 
stream characteristics and control device operation parameters as 
specified in Sec. 264.1035 (b)(4)(iii).
    (4) A statement signed and dated by the owner or operator certifying 
that the operating parameters used in the design analysis reasonably 
represent the conditions that exist when the hazardous waste management 
unit is or would be operating at the highest load or capacity level 
reasonably expected to occur.
    (5) A statement signed and dated by the owner or operator certifying 
that the control device is designed to operate at an efficiency of 95 
weight percent or greater unless the total organic emission limits of 
Sec. 264.1032(a) for affected process vents at the facility can be 
attained by a control device involving vapor recovery at an efficiency 
less than 95 weight percent.
