PART 270_EPA ADMINISTERED PERMIT PROGRAMS: THE HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT 

PROGRAM--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart B_Permit Application

 

Sec.  270.25  Specific part B information requirements for equipment.



    Except as otherwise provided in Sec.  264.1, owners and operators of 

facilities that have equipment to which subpart BB of part 264 applies 

must provide the following additional information:

    (a) For each piece of equipment to which subpart BB of part 264 

applies:

    (1) Equipment identification number and hazardous waste management 

unit identification.

    (2) Approximate locations within the facility (e.g., identify the 

hazardous waste management unit on a facility plot plan).

    (3) Type of equipment (e.g., a pump or pipeline valve).

    (4) Percent by weight total organics in the hazardous waste stream 

at the equipment.

    (5) Hazardous waste state at the equipment (e.g., gas/vapor or 

liquid).

    (6) Method of compliance with the standard (e.g., ``monthly leak 

detection and repair'' or ``equipped with dual mechanical seals'').

    (b) For facilities that cannot install a closed-vent system and 

control device to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR 264 subpart BB on 

the effective date that the facility becomes subject to the provisions 

of 40 CFR 264 or 265 subpart BB, an implementation schedule as specified 

in Sec.  264.1033(a)(2).

    (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 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 that demonstrates compliance with the equipment 

standards in Sec. Sec.  264.1052 to 264.1059. This documentation shall 

contain the records required under Sec.  264.1064. The Regional 

Administrator may request further documentation before deciding if 

compliance has been demonstrated.

    (e) Documentation to demonstrate compliance with Sec.  264.1060 

shall include the following information:

    (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(j).

    (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.  270.6) or other engineering texts 

acceptable to the Regional Administrator that present basic control 

device 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 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.
