Subpart HHH--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
From Natural Gas Transmission and Storage Facilities
Source: 64 FR 32648, June 17, 1999, unless otherwise noted.
Sec. 63.1270 Applicability and designation of affected source.
(a) This subpart applies to owners and operators of natural gas
transmission and storage facilities that transport or store natural gas
prior to entering the pipeline to a local distribution company or to a
final end user (if there is no local distribution company), and that are
major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions as defined in
Sec. 63.1271. Emissions for major source determination purposes can be
estimated using the maximum natural gas throughput calculated in either
paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this section and paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) of
this section. As an alternative to calculating the maximum natural gas
throughput, the owner or operator of a new or existing source may use
the facility design maximum natural gas throughput to estimate the
maximum potential emissions. Other means to determine the facility's
major source status are allowed, provided the information is documented
and recorded to the Administrator's satisfaction. A compressor station
that transports natural gas prior to the point of custody transfer or to
a natural gas processing plant (if present) is not considered a part of
the natural gas transmission and storage source category. A facility
that is determined to be an area source, but subsequently increases its
emissions or its potential to emit above the major source levels
(without first obtaining and complying with other limitations that keep
its potential to emit HAP below major source levels), and becomes a
major source, must comply thereafter with all applicable provisions of
this subpart starting on the applicable compliance date specified in
paragraph (d) of this section. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to
preclude a source from limiting its potential to emit through other
appropriate mechanisms that may be available through the permitting
authority.
(1) Facilities that store natural gas or facilities that transport
and store natural gas shall calculate maximum annual facility natural
gas throughput using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29JN01.026
Where:
[[Page 180]]
Throughput = Maximum annual facilitywide natural gas throughput in cubic
meters per year.
IR max = Maximum facility injection rate in cubic meters per
hour.
WR max = Maximum facility withdrawal rate in cubic meters per
hour.
8,760 = Maximum hours of operation per year.
(i)-(iii) [Reserved]
(2) Facilities that only transport natural gas shall calculate the
maximum natural gas throughput as the highest annual natural gas
throughput over the 5 years prior to June 17, 1999, multiplied by a
factor of 1.2.
(3) The owner or operator shall maintain records of the annual
facility natural gas throughput each year and upon request, submit such
records to the Administrator. If the facility annual natural gas
throughput increases above the maximum natural gas throughput calculated
in paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section, the maximum natural gas
throughput must be recalculated using the higher throughput multiplied
by a factor of 1.2.
(4) The owner or operator shall determine the maximum values for
other parameters used to calculate potential emissions as the maximum
over the same period for which maximum throughput is determined as
specified in paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section. These
parameters shall be based on an annual average or the highest single
measured value.
(b) The affected source is each glycol dehydration unit.
(c) The owner or operator of a facility that does not contain an
affected source, as specified in paragraph (b) of this section, is not
subject to the requirements of this subpart.
(d) The owner or operator of each affected source shall achieve
compliance with the provisions of this subpart by the following dates:
(1) The owner or operator of an affected source, the construction or
reconstruction of which commenced before February 6, 1998, shall achieve
compliance with this provisions of the subpart no later than June 17,
2002 except as provided for in Sec. 63.6(i). The owner or operator of an
area source, the construction or reconstruction of which commenced
before February 6, 1998, that increases its emissions of (or its
potential to emit) HAP such that the source becomes a major source that
is subject to this subpart shall comply with this subpart 3 years after
becoming a major source.
(2) The owner or operator of an affected source, the construction or
reconstruction of which commences on or after February 6, 1998, shall
achieve compliance with the provisions of this subpart immediately upon
initial startup or June 17, 1999, whichever date is later. Area sources,
the construction or reconstruction of which commences on or after
February 6, 1998, that become major sources shall comply with the
provisions of this standard immediately upon becoming a major source.
(e) An owner or operator of an affected source that is a major
source or is located at a major source and is subject to the provisions
of this subpart is also subject to 40 CFR part 70 or part 71 permitting
requirements.
(f) Exemptions. A facility with a facilitywide actual annual average
natural gas throughput less than 28.3 thousand standard cubic meters per
day, where glycol dehydration units are the only HAP emission source, is
not subject to the requirements of this subpart. Records shall be
maintained as required in Sec. 63.10(b)(3).
[64 FR 32648, June 17, 1999, as amended at 66 FR 34555, June 29, 2001;
66 FR 49300, Sept. 27, 2001; 67 FR 8204, Feb. 22, 2002]
Sec. 63.1271 Definitions.
All terms used in this subpart shall have the meaning given to them
in the Clean Air Act, subpart A of this part (General Provisions), and
in this section. If the same term is defined in subpart A and in this
section, it shall have the meaning given in this section for purposes of
this subpart.
Boiler means an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion
and having the primary purpose of recovering and exporting thermal
energy in the form of steam or hot water. Boiler also means any
industrial furnace as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
Closed-vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere
and is composed of piping, ductwork, connections, and if necessary, flow
inducing devices that transport gas or vapor from an emission point to
one or more
[[Page 181]]
control devices. If gas or vapor from regulated equipment is routed to a
process (e.g., to a fuel gas system), the conveyance system shall not be
considered a closed-vent system and is not subject to closed-vent system
standards.
Combustion device means an individual unit of equipment, such as a
flare, incinerator, process heater, or boiler, used for the combustion
of organic HAP emissions.
Compressor station means any permanent combination of compressors
that move natural gas at increased pressure from fields, in transmission
pipelines, or into storage.
Continuous recorder means a data recording device that either
records an instantaneous data value at least once every hour or records
hourly or more frequent block average values.
Control device means any equipment used for recovering or oxidizing
HAP or volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors. Such equipment includes,
but is not limited to, absorbers, carbon absorbers, condensers,
incinerators, flares, boilers, and process heaters. For the purposes of
this subpart, if gas or vapor from regulated equipment is used, reused
(i.e., injected into the flame zone of an enclosed combustion device),
returned back to the process, or sold, then the recovery system used,
including piping, connections, and flow inducing devices, is not
considered to be a control device or a closed-vent system.
Custody transfer means the transfer of natural gas after processing
and/or treatment in the production operations to pipelines or any other
forms of transportation.
Facility means any grouping of equipment where natural gas is
processed, compressed, or stored prior to entering a pipeline to a local
distribution company or (if there is no local distribution company) to a
final end user. Examples of a facility for this source category are: an
underground natural gas storage operation; or a natural gas compressor
station that receives natural gas via pipeline, from an underground
natural gas storage operation, or from a natural gas processing plant.
The emission points associated with these phases include, but are not
limited to, process vents. Processes that may have vents include, but
are not limited to, dehydration and compressor station engines.
Facility, for the purpose of a major source determination, means
natural gas transmission and storage equipment that is located inside
the boundaries of an individual surface site (as defined in this
section) and is connected by ancillary equipment, such as gas flow lines
or power lines. Equipment that is part of a facility will typically be
located within close proximity to other equipment located at the same
facility. Natural gas transmission and storage equipment or groupings of
equipment located on different gas leases, mineral fee tracts, lease
tracts, subsurface unit areas, surface fee tracts, or surface lease
tracts shall not be considered part of the same facility.
Flame zone means the portion of the combustion chamber in a
combustion device occupied by the flame envelope.
Flash tank. See the definition for gas-condensate-glycol (GCG)
separator.
Flow indicator means a device which indicates whether gas flow is
present in a line or whether the valve position would allow gas flow to
be present in a line.
Gas-condensate-glycol (GCG) separator means a two-or three-phase
separator through which the ``rich'' glycol stream of a glycol
dehydration unit is passed to remove entrained gas and hydrocarbon
liquid. The GCG separator is commonly referred to as a flash separator
or flash tank.
Glycol dehydration unit means a device in which a liquid glycol
(including, but not limited to, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or
triethylene glycol) absorbent directly contacts a natural gas stream and
absorbs water in a contact tower or absorption column (absorber). The
glycol contacts and absorbs water vapor and other gas stream
constituents from the natural gas and becomes ``rich'' glycol. This
glycol is then regenerated in the glycol dehydration unit reboiler. The
``lean'' glycol is then recycled.
Glycol dehydration unit baseline operations means operations
representative of the glycol dehydration unit operations as of June 17,
1999. For the purposes of this subpart, for determining
[[Page 182]]
the percentage of overall HAP emission reduction attributable to process
modifications, glycol dehydration unit baseline operations shall be
parameter values (including, but not limited to, glycol circulation rate
or glycol-HAP absorbency) that represent actual long-term conditions
(i.e., at least 1 year). Glycol dehydration units in operation for less
than 1 year shall document that the parameter values represent expected
long-term operating conditions had process modifications not been made.
Glycol dehydration unit process vent means the glycol dehydration
unit reboiler vent and the vent from the GCG separator (flash tank), if
present.
Glycol dehydration unit reboiler vent means the vent through which
exhaust from the reboiler of a glycol dehydration unit passes from the
reboiler to the atmosphere or to a control device.
Hazardous air pollutants or HAP means the chemical compounds listed
in section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act (Act). All chemical compounds
listed in section 112(b) of the Act need to be considered when making a
major source determination. Only the HAP compounds listed in Table 1 of
this subpart need to be considered when determining compliance.
Incinerator means an enclosed combustion device that is used for
destroying organic compounds. Auxiliary fuel may be used to heat waste
gas to combustion temperatures. Any energy recovery section is not
physically formed into one manufactured or assembled unit with the
combustion section; rather, the energy recovery section is a separate
section following the combustion section and the two are joined by ducts
or connections carrying flue gas. The above energy recovery section
limitation does not apply to an energy recovery section used solely to
preheat the incoming vent stream or combustion air.
Initial startup means the first time a new or reconstructed source
begins production. For the purposes of this subpart, initial startup
does not include subsequent startups (as defined in this section) of
equipment, for example, following malfunctions or shutdowns.
Major source, as used in this subpart, shall have the same meaning
as in Sec. 63.2, except that:
(1) Emissions from any pipeline compressor station or pump station
shall not be aggregated with emissions from other similar units, whether
or not such units are in a contiguous area or under common control; and
(2) Emissions from processes, operations, and equipment that are not
part of the same facility, as defined in this section, shall not be
aggregated.
Natural gas means a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and
nonhydrocarbon gases found in geologic formations beneath the earth's
surface. The principal hydrocarbon constituent is methane.
Natural gas transmission means the pipelines used for the long
distance transport of natural gas (excluding processing). Specific
equipment used in natural gas transmission includes the land, mains,
valves, meters, boosters, regulators, storage vessels, dehydrators,
compressors, and their driving units and appurtenances, and equipment
used for transporting gas from a production plant, delivery point of
purchased gas, gathering system, storage area, or other wholesale source
of gas to one or more distribution area(s).
No detectable emissions means no escape of HAP from a device or
system to the atmosphere as determined by:
(1) Instrument monitoring results in accordance with the
requirements of Sec. 63.1282(b); and
(2) The absence of visible openings or defects in the device or
system, such as rips, tears, or gaps.
Operating parameter value means a minimum or maximum value
established for a control device or process parameter which, if achieved
by itself or in combination with one or more other operating parameter
values, indicates that an owner or operator has complied with an
applicable operating parameter limitation, over the appropriate
averaging period as specified in Sec. 63.1282 (e) and (f).
Operating permit means a permit required by 40 CFR part 70 or part
71.
Organic monitoring device means an instrument used to indicate the
concentration level of organic compounds
[[Page 183]]
exiting a control device based on a detection principle such as infra-
red, photoionization, or thermal conductivity.
Primary fuel means the fuel that provides the principal heat input
(i.e., more than 50 percent) to the device. To be considered primary,
the fuel must be able to sustain operation without the addition of other
fuels.
Process heater means an enclosed device using a controlled flame,
the primary purpose of which is to transfer heat to a process fluid or
process material that is not a fluid, or to a heat transfer material for
use in a process (rather than for steam generation) .
Safety device means a device that meets both of the following
conditions: the device is not used for planned or routine venting of
liquids, gases, or fumes from the unit or equipment on which the device
is installed; and the device remains in a closed, sealed position at all
times except when an unplanned event requires that the device open for
the purpose of preventing physical damage or permanent deformation of
the unit or equipment on which the device is installed in accordance
with good engineering and safety practices for handling flammable,
combustible, explosive, or other hazardous materials. Examples of
unplanned events which may require a safety device to open include
failure of an essential equipment component or a sudden power outage.
Shutdown means for purposes including, but not limited to, periodic
maintenance, replacement of equipment, or repair, the cessation of
operation of a glycol dehydration unit, or other affected source under
this subpart, or equipment required or used solely to comply with this
subpart.
Startup means the setting into operation of a glycol dehydration
unit, or other affected equipment under this subpart, or equipment
required or used to comply with this subpart. Startup includes initial
startup and operation solely for the purpose of testing equipment.
Storage vessel means a tank or other vessel that is designed to
contain an accumulation of crude oil, condensate, intermediate
hydrocarbon liquids, produced water, or other liquid, and is constructed
primarily of non-earthen materials (e.g., wood, concrete, steel,
plastic) that provide structural support.
Surface site means any combination of one or more graded pad sites,
gravel pad sites, foundations, platforms, or the immediate physical
location upon which equipment is physically affixed.
Temperature monitoring device means an instrument used to monitor
temperature and having a minimum accuracy of 2 percent of the
temperature being monitored expressed in C, or 2.5 C, whichever is
greater. The temperature monitoring device may measure temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, or both.
Total organic compounds or TOC, as used in this subpart, means those
compounds which can be measured according to the procedures of Method
18, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
Underground storage means the subsurface facilities utilized for
storing natural gas that has been transferred from its original location
for the primary purpose of load balancing, which is the process of
equalizing the receipt and delivery of natural gas. Processes and
operations that may be located at an underground storage facility
include, but are not limited to, compression and dehydration.
[64 FR 32648, June 17, 1999, as amended at 66 FR 34555, June 29, 2001]
Sec. 63.1272 Startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions.
(a) The provisions set forth in this subpart shall apply at all
times except during startups or shutdowns, during malfunctions, and
during periods of non-operation of the affected sources (or specific
portion thereof) resulting in cessation of the emissions to which this
subpart applies. However, during the startup, shutdown, malfunction, or
period of non-operation of one portion of an affected source, all
emission points which can comply with the specific provisions to which
they are subject must do so during the startup, shutdown, malfunction,
or period of non-operation.
(b) The owner or operator shall not shut down items of equipment
that are required or utilized for compliance
[[Page 184]]
with the provisions of this subpart during times when emissions are
being routed to such items of equipment, if the shutdown would
contravene requirements of this subpart applicable to such items of
equipment. This paragraph does not apply if the item of equipment is
malfunctioning, or if the owner or operator must shut down the equipment
to avoid damage due to a contemporaneous startup, shutdown, or
malfunction of the affected source or a portion thereof.
(c) During startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions when the
requirements of this subpart do not apply pursuant to paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section, the owner or operator shall implement, to the
extent reasonably available, measures to prevent or minimize excess
emissions to the maximum extent practical. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term ``excess emissions'' means emissions in excess of
those that would have occurred if there were no startup, shutdown, or
malfunction, and the owner or operator complied with the relevant
provisions of this subpart. The measures to be taken shall be identified
in the applicable startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and may
include, but are not limited to, air pollution control technologies,
recovery technologies, work practices, pollution prevention, monitoring,
and/or changes in the manner of operation of the source. Back-up control
devices are not required, but may be used if available.
(d) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, the owner
or operator shall prepare a startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan as
required in Sec. 63.6(e)(3), except that the plan is not required to be
incorporated by reference into the source's title V permit as specified
in Sec. 63.6(e)(3)(i). Instead, the owner or operator shall keep the plan
on record as required by Sec. 63.6(e)(3)(v). The failure of the plan to
adequately minimize emissions during the startup, shutdown, or
malfunction does not shield an owner or operator from enforcement
actions.
(e) Owners or operators are exempt from the requirements to prepare
a startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan for any facility where all of
the affected sources meet the exemption criteria specified in Sec.
63.1274(d).

and operators of affected sources subject to this subpart.
(b) All reports required under this subpart shall be sent to the
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec. 63.13. Reports may
be submitted on electronic media.
(c) Except as specified in paragraph (d) of this section, the owner
or operator of an affected source (i.e., glycol dehydration unit)
located at an existing or new major source of HAP emissions shall comply
with the requirements in this subpart as follows:
(1) The control requirements for glycol dehydration unit process
vents specified in Sec. 63.1275;
(2) The monitoring requirements specified in Sec. 63.1283, and
(3) The recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in
Secs. 63.1284 and 63.1285.
(d) Exemptions. The owner or operator is exempt from the
requirements of paragraph (c) of this section if the criteria listed in
paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section are met, except that the records
of the determination of these criteria must be maintained as required in
Sec. 63.1284(d).
(1) The actual annual average flow of gas to the glycol dehydration
unit is less than 283.0 thousand standard cubic meters per day, as
determined by the procedures specified in Sec. 63.1282(a)(1); or
(2) The actual average emissions of benzene from the glycol
dehydration unit process vents to the atmosphere are less than 0.90
megagram per year as determined by the procedures specified in Sec.
63.1282(a)(2) of this subpart.
(e) Each owner or operator of a major HAP source subject to this
subpart is required to apply for a part 70 or part
[[Page 185]]
71 operating permit from the appropriate permitting authority. If the
Administrator has approved a State operating permit program under part
70, the permit shall be obtained from the State authority. If a State
operating permit program has not been approved, the owner or operator
shall apply to the EPA Regional Office pursuant to part 71.
(f) [Reserved]
(g) In all cases where the provisions of this subpart require an
owner or operator to repair leaks by a specified time after the leak is
detected, it is a violation of this standard to fail to take action to
repair the leak(s) within the specified time. If action is taken to
repair the leak(s) within the specified time, failure of that action to
successfully repair the leak(s) is not a violation of this standard.
However, if the repairs are unsuccessful, a leak is detected and the
owner or operator shall take further action as required by the
applicable provisions of this subpart.

mass rate by the number of hours the unit is operated per year. This
result shall be converted to megagrams per year.
(b) No detectable emissions test procedure. (1) The procedure shall
be conducted in accordance with Method 21, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
(2) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of
Method 21, 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, except the instrument response
factor criteria in section 3.1.2(a) of Method 21 shall be for the
average composition of the fluid, and not for each individual organic

response factor shall be calculated on an inert-free basis.
(ii) If no instrument is available at the facility that will meet
the performance criteria specified in paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this
section, the instrument readings may be adjusted by multiplying by the
average response factor of the process fluid, calculated on an inert-
free basis as described in paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this section.
(7) An owner or operator must determine if a potential leak
interface operates with no detectable emissions using the applicable
procedure specified in paragraph (b)(7)(i) or (b)(7)(ii) of this

instrument readings for the background organic concentration level, the
value of the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic
concentration value measured by the instrument and the background
organic concentration value as determined in paragraph (b)(5) of this
section is compared with the applicable value for the potential leak
interface as specified in paragraph (b)(8) of this section.
(8) A potential leak interface is determined to operate with no
detectable organic emissions if the organic concentration value
determined in paragraph (b)(7) is less than 500 parts per million by
volume.

working capacity of activated carbon used for the carbon beds, design
total regeneration stream flow over the period of each complete carbon
bed regeneration cycle, design carbon bed temperature after
regeneration, design carbon bed regeneration time, and design service
life of the carbon.
(F) For a nonregenerable carbon adsorption system, such as a carbon
canister, the design analysis shall include the vent stream composition,
constituent concentrations, flowrate, relative humidity, and
temperature, and shall establish the design exhaust vent stream organic
compound concentration level, capacity of the carbon bed, type and
working capacity of activated carbon used for the carbon bed, and design
carbon replacement interval based on the total carbon working capacity
of the control device and source operating schedule. In addition, these
systems will incorporate dual carbon canisters in case of emission
breakthrough occurring in one canister.
(ii) If the owner or operator and the Administrator do not agree on
a demonstration of control device performance using a design analysis,
then the disagreement shall be resolved using the results of a
performance test performed by the owner or operator in accordance with
the requirements of paragraph (d)(3) of this section. The Administrator
may choose to have an authorized representative observe the performance
test.
(5) As an alternative to the procedures in paragraphs (d)(3) and
(d)(4)(i)(D) of this section, an owner or operator may elect to use the
procedures documented in the GRI report entitled, ``Atmospheric Rich/
Lean Method for Determining Glycol Dehydrator Emissions,'' (GRI-95/
0368.1) as inputs for the model GRI-GLYCalcTM, Version 3.0 or
higher, to determine condenser performance.
(e) Compliance demonstration for control devices performance
requirements. This paragraph applies to the demonstration of compliance
with the control device performance requirements specified in Sec.
63.1281(d)(1) and (e)(3)(ii). Compliance shall be demonstrated using the
requirements in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this section. As an
alternative, an owner or operator that installs a condenser as the
control device to achieve the requirements specified in Sec.
63.1281(d)(1)(ii) or (e)(3)(ii) may demonstrate compliance according to
paragraph (f) of this section. An owner or operator may switch between
compliance with paragraph (e) of this section and compliance with
paragraph (f) of this section only after at least 1 year of operation in
compliance with the selected approach. Notification of such a change in
the compliance method shall be reported in the next Periodic Report, as
required in Sec. 63.1285(e), following the change.
[[Page 194]]
(1) The owner or operator shall establish a site specific maximum or
minimum monitoring parameter value (as appropriate) according to the
requirements of Sec. 63.1283(d)(5)(i).

applicable monitored parameter in accordance with Sec. 63.1283(d)(4).
(3) Compliance is achieved when the daily average of the monitoring
parameter value calculated under paragraph (e)(2) of this section is
either equal to or greater than the minimum or equal to or less than the
maximum monitoring value established under paragraph (e)(1) of this
section.
(f) Compliance demonstration with percent reduction performance
requirements--condensers. This paragraph applies to the demonstration of
compliance with the performance requirements specified in Sec.
63.1281(d)(1)(ii) for condensers. Compliance shall be demonstrated using
the procedures in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this section.

for the current operating day using the daily average condenser outlet
temperature calculated in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section and the
condenser performance curve established in paragraph (f)(1) of this
section.
(iii) Except as provided in paragraphs (f)(2)(iii)(A), (B), and (D)
of this section, at the end of each operating day the owner or operator
shall calculate the 30-day average HAP emission reduction from the
condenser efficiencies as determined in paragraph (f)(2)(ii) of this
section for the preceding 30 operating days. If the owner or operator
uses a combination of process modifications and a condenser in
accordance with the requirements of Sec. 63.1281(e), the 30-day average HAP
emission reduction shall be calculated using the emission reduction
achieved through process modifications and the condenser efficiency as
determined in paragraph (f)(2)(ii) of this section, both for the
preceding 30 operating days.
(A) After the compliance date specified in Sec. 63.1270(d), an owner or
operator of a facility that stores natural gas that has less than 30
days of data for determining the average HAP emission reduction shall
calculate the cumulative average at the end of the withdrawal season,
each season, until 30 days of condenser operating data are accumulated.
For a facility that does not store natural gas, the owner or operator
that has less than 30 days of data for determining average HAP emission
reduction shall calculate the cumulative average at the end of the
calendar year, each year, until 30 days of condenser operating data are
accumulated.
(B) After the compliance date specified in Sec. 63.1270(d), for an
owner or operator that has less than 30 days of data for determining the
average HAP emission reduction, compliance is achieved if the average
HAP emission reduction calculated in paragraph (f)(2)(iii)(A) of this
section is equal to or greater than 95.0 percent.
(C) For the purposes of this subpart, a withdrawal season begins the
first time gas is withdrawn from the storage field after July 1 of the
calendar year and ends on June 30 of the next calendar year.
(D) Glycol dehydration units that are operated continuously have the
option of complying with the requirements specified in 40 CFR 63.772(g).
(3) Compliance is achieved with the emission limitation specified in
Sec. 63.1281(d)(1)(ii) or (e)(3) if the average HAP emission reduction
calculated in paragraph (f)(2)(iii) of this section is equal to or
greater than 95.0 percent.

condenser performance curve shall be based on the condenser design
analysis and may be supplemented by the control device manufacturer's
recommendations.
(C) As an alternative to paragraphs (d)(5)(ii)(A) and (B) of this
section, the owner or operator may elect to use the procedures
documented in the GRI report entitled, ``Atmospheric Rich/Lean Method
for Determining Glycol Dehydrator Emissions'' (GRI-95/0368.1) as inputs
for the model GRI-GLYCalcTM, Version 3.0 or higher, to
generate a condenser performance curve.
(6) An excursion for a given control device is determined to have
occurred when the monitoring data or lack of monitoring data result in
any one of the criteria specified in paragraphs (d)(6)(i) through

are monitored for the same control device and during the same operating
day, and more than one of these operating parameters meets an excursion
criterion specified in paragraphs (d)(6)(i) through (d)(6)(iv) of this
section, then a single excursion is determined to have occurred for the
control device for that operating day.
(i) An excursion occurs when the daily average value of a monitored
operating parameter is less than the minimum operating parameter limit
(or, if applicable, greater than the maximum operating parameter limit)
established for the operating parameter in accordance with the
requirements of paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this section.
(ii) An excursion occurs when average condenser efficiency
calculated according to the requirements specified in Sec.
63.1282(f)(2)(iii) is less than 95.0 percent, as specified in Sec.
63.1282(f)(3).

indicator indicates that flow has been detected and that the stream has
been diverted away from the control device to the atmosphere.
(B) For each bypass line subject to Sec. 63.1281(c)(3)(i)(B), if the
seal or closure mechanism has been broken, the bypass line valve
position has changed, the key for the lock-and-key type lock has been

(7) For each excursion, except as provided for in paragraph (d)(8)
of this section, the owner or operator shall be deemed to have failed to
have applied control in a manner that achieves the required operating
parameter limits.
[[Page 199]]
Failure to achieve the required operating parameter limits is a
violation of this standard.
(8) An excursion is not a violation of the operating parameter limit
as specified in paragraphs (d)(8)(i) and (d)(8)(ii) of this section.
(i) An excursion does not count toward the number of excused
excursions allowed under paragraph (d)(8)(ii) of this section when the
excursion occurs during any one of the following periods:
(A) During a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction when the
affected facility is operated during such period in accordance with the
facility's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan; or
(B) During periods of non-operation of the unit or the process that
is vented to the control device (resulting in cessation of HAP emissions
to which the monitoring applies).
(ii) For each control device, or combinations of control devices,
installed on the same HAP emissions unit, one excused excursion is
allowed per semiannual period for any reason. The initial semiannual
period is the 6-month reporting period addressed by the first Periodic
Report submitted by the owner or operator in accordance with Sec.
63.1285(e) of this subpart.
(9) Nothing in paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(8) of this section
shall be construed to allow or excuse a monitoring parameter excursion
caused by any activity that violates other applicable provisions of this
subpart.
