(e) [(d)] Records for exemptions in 115.727(a) - (e) of this

maintain records to document that each vent gas stream that is routed
to a flare contains less than 5.0% by weight HRVOC at all times and
each vent gas stream not routed to a flare does not exceed 100 parts per
million by volume HRVOC at any time.
(2) The owner or operator of any flare claiming exemption
under 115.727(b) of this title shall maintain records that [which] doc-
ument that the HRVOC content of the gas stream that is routed to the
flare does not exceed 5.0% by weight at any time.
(3) The owner or operator of any vent gas stream or flare
claiming exemption under 115.727 of this title shall comply with the
following recordkeeping requirements:
(A) for vent gas streams, maintain records that [which]
demonstrate continuous compliance with the exemption criteria of
115.727(c) [!115.727(e)] of this title; or
(B) for flares, maintain records that [which] demon-
strate continuous compliance with the exemption criteria of
115.727(d) [!15.727(f)] of this title.
(f) The owner or operator claiming an exemption under
115.727(e) of this title shall submit written notification to the

flare from service, but no later than December 31, 2005.
(g) [(e)] The owner or operator of each account subject to

24-h&ur rolling aHerage IPVOC emissions which include]:(1) cooling tower emissions from cooling towers that
[which] are subject to Division 2 of this subchapter (relating to
Cooling Tower Heat Exchange Systems); and
(2) all emissions from flares, vents, and pressure relief
valves subject to the requirements of 115.725 of this title. [eontinu-
usly monitored t gas and flare emissions and]
(3) the maximum potential emission rate from ven t gas
streams and flares which are not continuously monitored.
(h) The owner or operator of each account subject to 115.722
of this title shall maintain hourly records to demonstrate compliance
with the one-hour block emissions limits specified in 115.722(c) of
this title, including:
(1) cooling tower emissions from cooling towers that are
subject to Division 2 of this subchapter; and
(2) all emissions from flares, vents, and pressure relief
valves subject to the requirements of 115.725 of this title.
(i) [(f)] The owner or operator shall maintain on-site, all
records required in this division and other records as necessary to
demonstrate continuous compliance and records of periodic mea-

upon request by authorized representatives of the executive director,
United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], or any local
air pollution control agency with jurisdiction.
115.727. Exemptions.
(a) Any account for which all individual gas streams routed
to a flare contain less than 5.0% by weight of highly-reactive volatile
organic compounds HRVOCs [(HRVOC)] at all times and all individual
vent gas streams not routed to a flare contain less than 100 parts per
million by volume (ppmv) HRVOCs [HRVOC] at all times is exempt
from the requirements of 115.722(a) of this title (relating to Site-wide
Cap and Control Requirements).
(b) For a flare that at no time receives a gas stream containing
5.0% or greater HRVOCs [HRVOC]:
(1) the gas stream directed to the flare shall be treated
as a vent gas stream for purposes of determining compliance with
115.722(a) - (c) [the site-wide cap of 11.722(a)] of this title; and
(2) the flare is exempt from the continuous monitoring re-
quirements of 115.726(d) [115.725(d) and(e)] of this title (relating to
Recordkeeping and Reporting [Monitoring and Testing] Requirements)
and 115.726(d) [115.726(e)] of this title and is therefore not required
to submit a quality assurance plan under 115.726(a) of this title.
f(e) Emisionso from scheduled m aintenancestartup, or
shutdown activities in compliance with s0.24 of this title (relating
to Scheduled Maintenane artup and ShutdoQwn Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirement) are exempt from the requirements of
1115.722(a) of this title.]
(4) Emissions from emissions events in compliance with
#1O4- 2O1 of this title (relating to Emissions Event Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements) are exempt from the requirements of
11-.722(a) of this title.]
(c) [(e)] For [The following] vent gas streams that are not
routed to a flare, the following [stream] exemptions may apply-[.]
(1) A vent gas stream that has no potential to emit HRVOCs
[HRVOC] is exempt from the requirements of this division, with the
exception of the recordkeeping requirements of 115.726(e)(3)(A)
[115.726(d)()] of this title.PROPOSED RULES July 9, 2004 29 TexReg 6559
