Rule 3745-205-30 | Applicability - air emission standards for process vents.
(A) Rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code apply to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes (except as provided in rule 3745-54-01 of the Administrative Code).
(B) Except for paragraphs (D) and (E) of rule 3745-205-34 of the Administrative Code, rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code apply to process vents associated with distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operations that manage hazardous wastes with organic concentrations of at least ten parts per million by weight, if these operations are conducted in one of the following:
(1) A unit that is subject to the permitting requirements of rules 3745-50-40 to 3745-50-235 of the Administrative Code; or
(2) A unit (including a hazardous waste recycling unit) that is not exempt from permitting under rule 3745-52-17 of the Administrative Code (i.e., a hazardous waste recycling unit that is not a ninety-day tank or container) and that is located at a hazardous waste management facility otherwise subject to the permitting requirements of rules 3745-50-40 to 3745-50-235 of the Administrative Code; or
(3) A unit that is exempt from permitting under the provisions of rule 3745-52-17 of the Administrative Code (i.e., a "ninety-day" tank or container) and is not a recycling unit under rule 3745-51-06 of the Administrative Code.
(C) For the owner and operator of a facility subject to rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code and who received a final Ohio hazardous waste management permit, prior to December 6, 1996, the requirements of rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code shall be incorporated into the permit when the permit is modified or renewed in accordance with rules 3745-50-40 to 3745-50-51 of the Administrative Code or reviewed in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-54 of the Administrative Code. Until such date when the owner and operator receive a final permit incorporating the requirements of rules 3745-256-30 to 3745-256-35 of the Administrative Code, the owner and operator are subject to the requirements of rules 3745-256-30 to 3745-256-35 of the Administrative Code.
[Comment: Rules 3745-205-32 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code apply to process vents on hazardous waste recycling units previously exempt under paragraph (C)(1) of rule 3745-51-06 of the Administrative Code. Other exemptions under rules 3745-51-04 and paragraph (G) of rule 3745-54-01 of the Administrative Code are not affected by these requirements.]
(D) [Reserved.]
(E) Rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code do not apply to the process vents at a facility where the facility owner or operator certifies that all of the process vents that would otherwise be subject to rules 3745-205-30 to 3745-205-36 of the Administrative Code are equipped with and operating air emission controls in accordance with the process vent requirements of an applicable Clean Air Act regulation codified under 40 CFR Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63. The documentation of compliance under regulations at 40 CFR Part 60, Part 61, or Part 63 shall be kept with, or made readily available with, the facility operating record.
