Piping, Valves, Flanges, Pumps and Compressors in Volatile
Organic Compound (VOC) Service

A.  These provisions shall not apply (1) where the VOC has an
    aggregate partial pressure or vapor pressure of less than
    0.5 psia at 100F or at maximum process operating
    temperature if less than 100F, or (2) to piping and
    valves two inches nominal size and smaller,or (3) where
    the operating pressure is at least 5 kilopascals (0.725
    psi) below ambient pressure.  Equipment excluded from this
    provision shall be identified in a list to be made
    available upon request.

B.  Construction of new and reworked piping, valves and pump
    and compressor systems shall conform to applicable ANSI,
    API, ASME, or equivalent codes.

C.  New and reworked underground process pipelines shall
    contain no buried valves such that fugitive emission
    monitoring is rendered impractical.

D.  To the extent that good engineering practice will permit,
    new and reworked valves and piping connections shall be so
    located to be reasonably accessible for leak-checking
    during plant operation.  Non-accessible valves, as defined
    in Regulation V, shall be identified in a list to be made
    available upon request.

E.  New and reworked piping connections shall be welded or
    flanged.  Screwed connections are permissible only on
    piping smaller than two-inch diameter.  No later than the
    next scheduled quarterly monitoring period after initial
    installation or replacement, all new or reworked
    connections shall be gas-tested or hydraulically-tested at
    no less than normal operating pressure and adjustments
    made as necessary to obtain leak-free performance.  
    Flanges shall be inspected by visual, audible and/or
    olfactory means at least weekly by operating personnel
    walk-through.  

    Each open-ended valve or line shall be equipped with a
    cap, blind flange, plug, or a second valve.  Except during
    sampling, the second valve shall be closed.

F.  Accessible valves shall be monitored by leak-checking for
    fugitive emissions at least quarterly using an approved
    gas analyzer.  Sealless/leakless valves (including but not
    limited to welded bonnet bellows and diaphragm valves) and
    relief valves equipped with a rupture disc upstream or
    venting to a control device are not required to be
    monitored.  For valves equipped with rupture discs, a
    pressure gauge shall be installed between the relief valve
    and rupture disc to monitor disc integrity.  All leaking
    discs shall be replaced at the earliest opportunity but no
    later than the next process shutdown.  An approved gas
    analyzer shall conform to requirements listed in Title 40
    Code of Federal Regulations Part 60.485(a) - (b) (40CFR
    60.485[a][b]).

G.  Except as may be provided for in the special provisions of
    this permit, all pump and compressor seals shall be
    monitored with an approved gas analyzer at least quarterly
    or be equipped with a shaft sealing system that prevents
    or detects emissions of VOC from the seal.  Seal systems 
    designed and operated to prevent emissions or seals
    equipped with an automatic seal failure detection and
    alarm system need not be monitored.  Seal systems that
    prevent emissions may include (but are not limited to)
    dual pump seals with barrier fluid at higher pressure than
    process pressure or seals degassing to vent control
    systems kept in good working order.  

    Submerged pumps or sealless pumps (including but not
    limited to diaphragm, canned, or magnetic driven pumps)
    may be used to satisfy the requirements of this provision
    and need not be monitored.

H.  Damaged or leaking valves, flanges, compressor seals, and
    pump seals found to be emitting VOC in excess of 10,000
    ppmv or found by visual inspection to be leaking (e.g.,
    dripping liquids) shall be tagged and replaced or
    repaired.  Every reasonable effort shall be made to repair
    a leaking component as specified in this paragraph within
    15 days after the leak is found.  If the repair of a
    component would require a unit shutdown, the repair may be
    delayed until the next scheduled shutdown.  All leaking
    components which cannot be repaired until a scheduled
    shutdown shall be identified for such repair by tagging.
    The Executive Director, at his discretion, may require
    early unit shutdown or other appropriate action based on
    the number and severity of tagged leaks awaiting shutdown.

I.  The results of the required fugitive monitoring and
    maintenance program shall be made available to the
    Executive Director or his designated representative upon
    request.  Records shall indicate appropriate dates, test
    methods, instrument readings, repair results, and
    corrective actions taken for all components.  Records of
    flange inspections are not required unless a leak is
    detected.

J.  Fugitive emission monitoring required by an applicable New
    Source Performance Standard (NSPS), 40 CFR 60, or an
    applicable National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
    Pollutants (NESHAPS) 40 CFR 61 may be used in lieu of
    Items F through I of this provision.  Compliance with the
    requirements of this provision does not assure compliance
    with requirements of NSPS, or NESHAPS and does not
    constitute approval of alternative standards for these
    regulations.

M. Alternative connector  monitoring frequency schedules  ("skip options")  of 40 Code of 
   Federal Regulations Part 63, Subpart H, National Emission Standards for Organic
   Hazardous Air Pollutants for Equipment Leaks, may be used in lieu of the annual connector
   instrument monitoring required by paragraph E of this permit condition.
  
N. Any component found to be leaking by physical inspection (i.e., sight, sound, or smell)
   shall be repaired or monitored with an approved gas analyzer within 15 days to determine
   whether the component is leaking in excess of 500 ppmv of VOC.  If the component is
   found to be leaking in excess of 500 ppmv of VOC, it shall be subject to the repair and
      replacement requirements contained in this special condition.Audio, Visual and Olfactory (AVO) Inspection

A.  Audio, olfactory, and visual checks for (insert compound)
    leaks within the operating area shall be made every four
    hours.

B.  Immediately, but no later than one hour upon detection of
    a leak, plant personnel shall take the following actions:

    (1)  Isolate the leak.
    (2)  Commence repair or replacement of the leaking 
         component.
    (3)  Use a leak collection/containment system to prevent
         the leak until repair or replacement can be made if
         immediate repair is not possible.

    Date and time of each inspection shall be noted in the 
    operator's log or equivalent.  Records shall be maintained
    at the plant site of all repairs and replacements made due
    to leaks.  These records shall be made available to
    representatives of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
    Commission (TNRCC) upon request.Audio, Visual and Olfactory (AVO) Inspection for Petroleum

Piping, Valves, Pumps, and Compressors in Petroleum Service

     A. Audio, olfactory, and visual checks for petroleum
        product leaks within the operating area shall be made
        monthly.

     B. Every reasonable effort shall be made to repair or replace
        a leaking component within 15 days after a leak is found. 
        If the repair or replacement of a leaking component would
        require a unit shutdown, the repair may be delayed until
        the next scheduled shutdown.  All leaking components which
        cannot be repaired or replaced until a scheduled shutdown
        shall be identified in a list to be made available to
        representatives of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
        Commission (TNRCC) upon request. 

Records shall be maintained at the plant site of all repairs and
replacements made due to leaks.  These records shall be made
available to representatives of the TNRCC upon request. 28 CNTA

In addition to the weekly physical inspection required by Item E of Special Condition XX, all
connectors in gas\vapor and light liquid service shall be monitored annually with an approved
gas analyzer in accordance with Items F thru J of Special Condition XX.  Alternative monitoring
frequency schedules ("skip options") of 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 63, Subpart H,
National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants for Equipment Leaks, may be
used in lieu of the monitoring frequency required by this permit condition.  Compliance with this
condition does not assure compliance with requirements of applicable state or federal regulation
and does not constitute approval of alternative standards for these regulations.

A. In addition to the weekly physical inspection required by Item E of Special Condition XX,
   all accessible connectors in gas\vapor and light liquid service shall be monitored quarterly 
   with an approved gas analyzer in accordance with Items F thru J of Special Condition XX.  

B. In lieu of the monitoring frequency specified in paragraph A, connectors may be
   monitored on a semiannual basis if the percent of connectors leaking for two consecutive
   quarterly monitoring periods is less than 0.5 percent.

   Connectors may be monitored on an annual basis if the percent of connectors leaking for
   two consecutive semiannual monitoring periods is less than 0.5 percent.

   If the percent of connectors leaking for any semiannual or annual monitoring period is
   0.5 percent or greater, the facility shall revert to quarterly monitoring until the facility
   again qualifies for the alternative monitoring schedules previously outlined in this
   paragraph.

C. The percent of connectors leaking used in paragraph B shall be determined using the
   following formula:

        (Cl + Cs ) x 100/Ct = Cp

   Where:
   
   Cl = the number of connectors found leaking by the end of the monitoring period,
        either by Method 21 or sight, sound, and smell.

   Cs = the number of connectors for which repair has been delayed and are listed on the
        facility shutdown log.

   Ct = the total number of connectors in the facility subject to the monitoring
        requirements, as of the last day of the monitoring period, not including
        nonaccessible and unsafe-to-monitor connectors.

   Cp = the percentage of leaking connectors for the monitoring period.
