Organic Liquids Distribution (non-gasoline)

Applicability

eCFR Subpart EEEE [ecfr.gov]

This subpart applies to:

  1. Affected sources at organic liquids distribution (OLD) (non-gasoline) operations at Major Sources of HAPs*.

Affected sources:

  1. Collection of activities and equipment used to distribute organic liquids into, out of, or within a facility;
  2. All storage tanks storing organic liquids;
  3. All transfer racks at which organic liquids are loaded into or unloaded out of transport vehicles and/or containers;
  4. All equipment leak components in organic liquids service that are associated with:
    1. Storage tanks storing organic liquids;
    2. Transfer racks loading or unloading organic liquids;
    3. Pipelines that transfer organic liquids between storage tanks and/or transfer racks that are subject to this subpart;
  5. All transport vehicles while they are loading or unloading organic liquids at transfer racks subject to this subpart;
  6. All containers while they are loading or unloading organic liquids at transfer racks subject to this subpart.


Not subject to this subpart:

  1. Oil and natural gas production field facilities (as defined in NESHAP HH);
  2. Natural gas transmission and storage facilities (as defined in NESHAP HHH);
  3. OLD operations located at research and development facilities.
  4. Storage tanks, transfer racks, transport vehicles, containers, and equipment leak components that meet any of the following:
    1. Are part of an affected source under another Part 63 NESHAP;
    2. Are non-permanent and used only in special situation distribution loading and unloading operations (e.g., maintenance or upset liquids management);
    3. Are used only to conduct maintenance activities (e.g., stormwater management, liquid removal from tanks for inspections and maintenance, or changeovers to a different liquid stored in a storage tank).


*Major Sources of HAPs emit or have the potential to emit:

  • ≥ 10 tons/year of any single HAP; or
  • ≥ 25 tons/year of total HAPs.
  • Area Sources emit less than Major Sources.
