2. Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Storage of Petroleum Liquids in Fixed-Roof Tanks, EPA 450/2-77-036, p. 6-2.

(b) Gasoline Bulk Terminals.

1. Vapor Control System Test.

a. VOC emissions from the vapor control system shall be determined by the method given in Appendix A of EPA 450/ 2-77-026, except that an adequate sampling time shall be at least six (6) hours of operation. For continuous vapor processing systems at least 80,000 gallons (302,800 liters) of gasoline shall be loaded during the test. For intermittent vapor processing systems, at least 80,000 gallons (302,800 liters) of gasoline shall be loaded during the test and at least two full cycles of operation of the vapor processing system shall occur. This test shall be performed prior to the date of compliance and annually thereafter. Test results records shall be maintained at the terminal until the subsequent annual test shall be made available to the department upon request.

b. Control of Hydrocarbons from Tank Truck Gasoline Loading Terminals, EPA 450/2-77-026, Appendix A. Emission Test Procedure for Tank Truck Gasoline Loading Terminals.

2. Vapor Leak Detection.

a. During loading or unloading operations at bulk terminals, there shall be no reading greater than or equal to 100 percent of the lower explosive level (LEL), measured as propane at 1 in. (2.5 centimeters) around the perimeter of a potential leak source as detected by a combustible gas detector using the procedure described in Appendix B of EPA 450/2-78-051.

b. Control of Volatile Organic Compound Leaks from Gasoline Tank Trucks and Vapor Collection Systems, EPA 450/ 2-78-051, Appendix B, Gasoline Vapor Leak Detection Procedures by Combustible Gas Detector.

(f) Cross Recovery Determination. When determining if a kraft recovery furnace is a straight kraft or cross recovery furnace the procedure in 40 CFR 60.285(d)(3) of Subpart BB shall be used.

(3) [Reserved].
