Regulatory Review
Section II.A.1 - Except as provided in paragraphs 2 through 6 below, no owner or operator of a source shall
allow or cause the emission into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 20% opacity. This
standard is based on 24 consecutive opacity readings taken at 15 -second intervals for six minutes. The
approved reference test method for visible emissions measurement is EPA Method 9 (40 CFR, Part 60,
Appendix A (July, 1992)) in all subsections of Section II. A and B of this regulation.
Section II.A.5 - Smokeless Flare or Flares for the Combustion of Waste Gases No owner or operator of a
smokeless flare or other flare for the combustion of waste gases shall allow or cause emissions into the
atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 30% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than
six minutes in any sixty consecutive minutes.
Regulation 2 — Odor
Section I.A - No person, wherever located, shall cause or allow the emission of odorous air contaminants from
any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are measured in excess of the following limits:
For areas used predominantly for residential or commercial purposes it is a violation if odors are detected after
the odorous air has been diluted with seven (7) or more volumes of odor free air.
Regulation 6 - New Source Performance Standards
NSPS Kb: for storage vessels greater than 19,800 gallons after 7/23/84.
This source is not subject because each tank is less than 19,800 gallons (471 bbl)
NSPS OOOO: for storage vessels in the natural gas production, transmission, and processing
segments.
This source is not subject because each tank emits less than 6 tpy VOC.
