Recordkeeping requirements
Cite as N.D. Admin. Code § 33.1-24-02-175
1.
Applicability.
a.
Each remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material subject to the provisions of sections 33.1-24-02-170 through 33.1-24-02-179
shall comply with the recordkeeping requirements of this section.
b.
A remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material
of more than one hazardous secondary material management unit subject to the
provisions of sections 33.1-24-02-170 through 33.1-24-02-179 may comply with the
recordkeeping requirements for these hazardous secondary material management units
in one recordkeeping system if the system identifies each record by each hazardous
secondary material management unit.
2.
The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material
must keep the following records onsite:
a.
[Reserved].
b.
Up-to-date documentation of compliance with the process vent standards in section
33.1-24-02-172, 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 (for example, the total emissions for all affected vents
at the facility), and the approximate location within the facility of each affected unit
(for example, identify the hazardous secondary material management units on a
facility plot plan).
(2)
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 must be made using operating parameter values
(for example, temperatures, flow rates, or vent stream organic compounds and
concentrations) that represent the conditions that result in maximum organic
emissions, such as when the hazardous secondary material management unit is
operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. If the
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material takes any action (for example, managing a material of different composition
or increasing operating hours of affected hazardous secondary material
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.
c.
Where a remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material 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
must be developed and include:
(1)
A description of how it is determined that the planned test is going to be conducted
when the hazardous secondary material management unit is operating at the
highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. This must 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.
(2)
A detailed engineering description of the closed-vent system and control device
including:
(a)
Manufacturer's name and model number of control device.
(b)
Type of control device.
(c)
Dimensions of the control device.
(d)
Capacity.
(e)
Construction materials.
(3)
A detailed description of sampling and monitoring 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.
d.
Documentation of compliance with section 33.1-24-02-173 must include the following
information:
(1)
A list of all information references and sources used in preparing the documentation.
(2)

acceptable to the department that present basic control device design information.

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 or drying cycles, design carbon bed
temperature after regeneration, design carbon bed regeneration time, and
design service life of carbon.

regenerate the carbon bed directly onsite in the control device, the design
analysis must consider the vent stream composition, constituent

hazardous secondary material 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 remanufacturer or other person that stores or
treats the hazardous secondary material certifying that the control device is
designed to operate at an efficiency of ninety-five percent or greater unless the total
organic concentration limit of subsection 1 of section 33.1-24-02-172 is achieved at
an efficiency less than ninety-five weight percent or the total organic emission limits
of subsection 1 of section 33.1-24-02-172 for affected process vents at the facility
can be attained by a control device involving vapor recovery at an efficiency less
than ninety-five weight percent. A statement provided by the control device
manufacturer or vendor certifying that the control equipment meets the design
specifications may be used to comply with this requirement.
