R315-261-1061. Air Emission Standards for Equipment Leaks - Alternative Standards for Valves in Gas/Vapor Service or in Light Liquid Service: Percentage of Valves Allowed to Leak

  (a) A remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material subject to the requirements of Section R315-261-1057 may elect to have all valves within a hazardous secondary material management unit comply with an alternative standard that allows no greater than 2 percent of the valves to leak.

  (b) The following requirements shall be met if a remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material decides to comply with the alternative standard of allowing 2 percent of valves to leak:

  (1) A performance test as specified in Subsection R315-261-1061(c) shall be conducted initially upon designation, annually, and at other times requested by the Director.

  (2) If a valve leak is detected, it shall be repaired in accordance with Subsections R315-261-1057(d) and (e).

  (c) Performance tests shall be conducted in the following manner:

  (1) All valves subject to the requirements in Section R315-261-1057 within the hazardous secondary material management unit shall be monitored within 1 week by the methods specified in Subsection R315-261-1063(b).

  (2) If an instrument reading of 10,000 ppm or greater is measured, a leak is detected.

  (3) The leak percentage shall be determined by dividing the number of valves subject to the requirements in Section R315-261-1057 for which leaks are detected by the total number of valves subject to the requirements in Section R315-261-1057 within the hazardous secondary material management unit.
