organic liquids distribution (non-gasoline) mact summary

6. When must affected sources comply with this rule?

All existing affected sources must comply by February 5, 2007, except for floating roof storage tanks that do not initially meet the equipment standard for storage tanks in the final rule. These tanks must be in compliance following their next degassing and cleaning, or by February 3, 2014, whichever is sooner. If the first degassing and cleaning activity occurs during the 3 years following February 3, 2004, the compliance date is February 5, 2007.

Existing area sources that increase their HAP emissions or their potential to emit such that they become major sources of HAP, and thus affected sources, must be in compliance within 3 years after the date they become major sources.

Any affected source that commenced construction after April 2, 2002, at a site where there were no existing OLD operations, is a new affected source. Any affected source that commenced reconstruction after April 2, 2002, at a site that was an existing OLD source, is a reconstructed source. Emissions sources at new and reconstructed affected sources that are now in operation must be in compliance on February 3, 2004, with certain exceptions. These exceptions are due to the fact that this final rule applies to some affected sources and emission sources that would not have been covered by the proposed rule, and that in some cases the final emission standards are more stringent than were proposed. In cases where an emission source at a now operating new or reconstructed affected source would not have been required to be controlled under the proposed rule but is required to be controlled under the final rule, the emission source must be in compliance by February 5, 2007. Where an emission source at such a new or reconstructed affected source would have been subject to a less stringent control requirement under the proposed rule than applies under the final rule, the emission source must be in compliance with the final rule's requirement by February 5, 2007, and in the interim must comply with the less stringent control requirement as proposed.

New or reconstructed sources that commence construction or reconstruction after February 3, 2004 must comply upon startup
