1. The provisions of this section apply to the control of air pollutant emissions from tanks for which subsection 2 of section 33.1-24-02-202 references the use of this section for such air emission control. 2. The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from each tank subject to this section in accordance with the following requirements as applicable: a. For a tank that manages hazardous secondary material that meets all of the conditions specified in paragraphs 1 through 2, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the tank in accordance with the tank level 1 controls specified in subsection 3 or the tank level 2 controls specified in subsection 4. (1) The hazardous secondary material in the tank has a maximum organic vapor pressure which is less than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank's design capacity category as follows: (a) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than one hundred fifty-one meters3 (5,330 feet3), the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is five and two-tenths kilopascals. (b) For a tank design capacity equal to or greater than seventy-five meters3 (2,650 feet3) but less than one hundred fifty-one meters3 (5,330 feet3), the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is twenty-seven and six-tenths kilopascals. (c) For a tank design capacity less than seventy-five meters3 (2,650 feet3), the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank is seventy-six and six-tenths kilopascals. (2) The hazardous secondary material in the tank is not heated by the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material to a temperature that is greater than the temperature at which the maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous secondary material is determined for the purpose of complying with paragraph 1. b. For a tank that manages hazardous secondary material which does not meet all of the conditions specified in paragraphs 1 through 2 of subdivision a, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall control air pollutant emissions from the tank by using tank level 2 controls in accordance with the requirements of subsection 4. An example of tanks required to use tank level 2 controls is a tank for which the hazardous secondary material in the tank has a maximum organic vapor pressure that is equal to or greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank's design capacity category as specified in paragraph 1 of subdivision a. 3. Remanufacturers or other persons that store or treat the hazardous secondary material controlling air pollutant emissions from a tank using tank level 1 controls shall meet the requirements specified in subdivisions a through d: a. The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats that hazardous secondary material shall determine the maximum organic vapor pressure for a hazardous secondary material to be managed in the tank using tank level 1 controls before the first time the hazardous secondary material is placed in the tank. The maximum organic vapor pressure must be determined using the procedures specified in subsection 3 of section 33.1-24-02-203. Thereafter, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform a new determination whenever changes to the hazardous secondary material managed in the tank could potentially cause the maximum organic vapor pressure to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank design capacity category specified in paragraph 1 of subdivision a of subsection 2, as applicable to the tank. b. The tank must be equipped with a fixed roof designed to meet the following specifications: (1) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be designed to form a continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the hazardous secondary material in the tank. The fixed roof may be a separate cover installed on the tank (for example, a removable cover mounted on an open-top tank) or may be an integral part of the tank structural design (for example, a horizontal cylindrical tank equipped with a hatch). (2) The fixed roof must be installed in a manner such that there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces between roof section joints or between the interface of the roof edge and the tank wall. (3) Each opening in the fixed roof, and any manifold system associated with the fixed roof, must be either: (a) Equipped with a closure device designed to operate such that when the closure device is secured in the closed position there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps, or other open spaces in the closure device or between the perimeter of the opening and the closure device; or (b) Connected by a closed-vent system that is vented to a control device. The control device must remove or destroy organics in the vent stream, and must be operating whenever hazardous secondary material is managed in the tank, except as provided for in items 1 and 2. [1] During periods when it is necessary to provide access to the tank for performing the activities of item 2, venting of the vapor headspace underneath the fixed roof to the control device is not required, opening of closure devices is allowed, and removal of the fixed roof is allowed. Following completion of the activity, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material promptly shall secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, and resume operation of the control device. [2] During periods of routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal operations, and for removal of accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of the tank. (4) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be made of suitable materials that will minimize exposure of the hazardous secondary material to the atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of the fixed roof and closure devices throughout their intended service life. Factors to be considered when selecting the materials for and designing the fixed roof and closure devices include: organic vapor permeability, the effects of any contact with the hazardous secondary material or its vapors managed in the tank; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, and sunlight; and the operating practices used for the tank on which the fixed roof is installed. c. Whenever a hazardous secondary material is in the tank, the fixed roof must be installed with each closure device secured in the closed position except as follows: (1) Opening of closure devices or removal of the fixed roof is allowed at the following times: (a) To provide access to the tank for performing routine inspection, maintenance, or other activities needed for normal operations. Examples of such activities include those times when a worker needs to open a port to sample the liquid in the tank, or when a worker needs to open a hatch to maintain or repair equipment. Following completion of the activity, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material promptly shall secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, to the tank. (b) To remove accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of tank. (2) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, conservation vent, or similar type of pressure relief device which vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of maintaining the tank internal pressure in accordance with the tank design specifications. The device must be designed to operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed position. The settings at which the device opens must be established such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the tank internal pressure is within the internal pressure operating range determined by the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material based on the tank manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements for the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these devices to open are during those times when the tank internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure operating range for the tank as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations. (3) Opening of a safety device, as defined in section 33.1-24-02-201, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to avoid an unsafe condition. d. The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall inspect the air emission control equipment in accordance with the following requirements: (1) The fixed roof and its closure devices must be visually inspected by the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material to check for defects that could result in air pollutant emissions. Defects include visible cracks, holes, or gaps in the roof sections or between the roof and the tank wall; broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged seals or gaskets on closure devices; and broken or missing hatches, access covers, caps, or other closure devices. (2) The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform an initial inspection of the fixed roof and its closure devices on or before the date that the tank becomes subject to this section. Thereafter, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall perform the inspections at least once every year except under the special conditions provided for in subsection 12. (3) In the event that a defect is detected, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall repair the defect in accordance with the requirements of subsection 11. (4) The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall maintain a record of the inspection in accordance with the requirements specified in subsection 2 of section 33.1-24-02-209. 4.

The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall repair each defect detected during an inspection performed in accordance with the requirements of subdivision d of subsection 3, subdivision c of subsection 5, subdivision c of subsection 6, or subdivision c of subsection 7 as follows: a. The remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall make first efforts at repair of the defect no later than five calendar days after detection, and repair shall be completed as soon as possible but no later than forty-five calendar days after detection except as provided in subdivision b. b. Repair of a defect may be delayed beyond forty-five calendar days if the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material determines that repair of the defect requires emptying or temporary removal from service of the tank and no alternative tank capacity is available at the site to accept the hazardous secondary material normally managed in the tank. In this case, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall repair the defect the next time the process or unit that is generating the hazardous secondary material managed in the tank stops operation. Repair of the defect must be completed before the process or unit resumes operation. 12. Following the initial inspection and monitoring of the cover as required by the applicable provisions of sections 33.1-24-02-200 through 33.1-24-02-214, subsequent inspection and monitoring may be performed at intervals longer than one year under the following special conditions: a. In the case when inspecting or monitoring the cover would expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous, or other unsafe conditions, the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material may designate a cover as an "unsafe to inspect and monitor cover" and comply with all of the following requirements: (1) Prepare a written explanation for the cover stating the reasons why the cover is unsafe to visually inspect or to monitor, if required. (2) Develop and implement a written plan and schedule to inspect and monitor the cover, using the procedures specified in the applicable section of sections 33.1-24-02-200 through 33.1-24-02-214, as frequently as practicable during those times when a worker can safely access the cover. b. In the case when a tank is buried partially or entirely underground, a remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material is required to inspect and monitor, as required by the applicable provisions of this section, only those portions of the tank cover and those connections to the tank (for example, fill ports, access hatches, gauge wells) which are located on or above the ground surface.
