organic liquids distribution (non-gasoline) mact summary


Main : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 78 : 9

2. What facilities are affected by this rule?

Facilities affected by this rule are those that perform organic liquid distribution activities. Distribution activities include the storage of organic liquids in storage tanks (that are not subject to other 40 CFR part 63 standards) and transfers into or out of the tanks from or to cargo tanks, containers, and pipelines.

Most of these facilities can be grouped under three general categories: stand-alone storage terminals; organic liquids distribution operations collocated with a petroleum refinery, a chemical manufacturing plant site or other manufacturing plant site; and crude oil pipeline pumping or breakout stations (containing crude oil tanks).

It is estimated that in the baseline year of 1997 for this standard, there were approximately 279 collocated liquid distribution operations, 86 stand-alone storage terminals, and 16 crude oil pipeline stations, for a total of approximately 381 existing major source sites with distribution operations.
