DIVISION 244
OREGON FEDERAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT PROGRAM
General Provisions for Stationary Sources

340-244-0010
Policy and Purpose
The Environmental Quality Commission finds that certain air contaminants for which there are no ambient air quality standards may cause or contribute to an identifiable and significant increase in mortality or to an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness or to irreversible ecological damage, and are therefore considered to be hazardous air pollutants. It shall be the policy of the Commission that no person may cause, allow, or permit emissions into the ambient air of any hazardous substance in such quantity, concentration, or duration determined by the Commission to be injurious to public health or the environment. The purpose of this Division is to establish emissions limitations on sources of these air contaminants. In order to reduce the release of these hazardous air pollutants and protect public health and the environment, it is the intent of the Commission to adopt by rule within this Division the source category specific requirements that are promulgated by the EPA. Furthermore, it is hereby declared the policy of the Commission that the standards contained in this Division are considered minimum standards, and as technology advances, protection of public health and the environment warrants, more stringent standards may be adopted and applied.

(5) "Construct a major source"
means to fabricate, erect, or install at any greenfield site a stationary source
or group of stationary sources which is located within a contiguous area and under
common control and which emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of
any HAPs or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP, or to fabricate, erect,
or install at any developed site a new process or production unit which in and of
itself emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of any HAP or 25 tons
per year of any combination of HAP, unless the process or production unit satisfies
criteria in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this definition:
(a) All HAP emitted by the
process or production unit that would otherwise be controlled under the requirements
of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart B will be controlled by emission control equipment which
was previously installed at the same site as the process or production unit;
(b) DEQ has determined within
a period of 5 years prior to the fabrication, erection, or installation of the process
or production unit that the existing emission control equipment represented the
best available control technology (BACT), lowest achievable emission rate (LAER)
under 40 CFR Part 51 or 52, toxics-best available control technology (T-BACT), or
MACT based on State air toxic rules for the category of pollutants which includes
those HAP to be emitted by the process or production unit; or DEQ determines that
the control of HAP emissions provided by the existing equipment will be equivalent
to that level of control currently achieved by other well-controlled similar sources
(i.e., equivalent to the level of control that would be provided by a current BACT,
LAER, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule MACT determination).
(c) DEQ determines that the
percent control efficiency for emission of HAP from all sources to be controlled
by the existing control equipment will be equivalent to the percent control efficiency
provided by the control equipment prior to the inclusion of the new process or production
unit;
(d) DEQ has provided notice
and an opportunity for public comment concerning its determination that criteria
in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this definition apply and concerning the continued
adequacy of any prior LAER, BACT, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule MACT determination;
(e) If any commenter has
asserted that a prior LAER, BACT, T-BACT, or State air toxic rule MACT determination
is no longer adequate, DEQ has determined that the level of control required by
that prior determination remains adequate; and
(f) Any emission limitations,
work practice requirements, or other terms and conditions upon which the above determinations
by DEQ are predicated will be construed by DEQ as applicable requirements under
section 504(a) and either have been incorporated into any existing Title V permit
for the affected facility or will be incorporated into such permit upon issuance.
(6) “Dual-point vapor
balance system” means a type of vapor balance system in which the storage
tank is equipped with an entry port for a gasoline fill pipe and a separate exit
port for a vapor connection.
(7) "Emissions Limitation"
and "Emissions Standard" mean a requirement adopted by DEQ or Regional Agency, or
proposed or promulgated by the Administrator of the EPA, which limits the quantity,

engines.
(12) "Gasoline cargo tank"
means a delivery tank truck or railcar which is loading or unloading gasoline, or
which has loaded or unloaded gasoline on the immediately previous load.
(13) "Gasoline dispensing
facility (GDF) " means any stationary facility which dispenses gasoline into the
fuel tank of a motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, nonroad vehicle, or nonroad
engine, including a nonroad vehicle or nonroad engine used solely for competition.
These facilities include, but are not limited to, facilities that dispense gasoline
into on- and off-road, street, or highway motor vehicles, lawn equipment, boats,
test engines, landscaping equipment, generators, pumps, and other gasoline fueled
engines and equipment. In Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties, the Medford-Ashland

FCAA or determined by the Commission to cause, or reasonably be anticipated to cause,
adverse effects to human health or the environment.
(15) "Major Source" means
any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous
area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit considering
controls, in the aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant
or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants. The
EPA may establish a lesser quantity, or in the case of radionuclides different criteria,

potential for bioaccumulation, other characteristics of the air pollutant, or other
relevant factors.
(16) "Maximum Achievable
Control Technology (MACT)" means an emission standard applicable to major sources
of hazardous air pollutants that requires the maximum degree of reduction in emissions
deemed achievable for either new or existing sources.
(17) "Monthly throughput"
means the total volume of gasoline that is loaded into, or dispensed from, all gasoline
storage tanks at each GDF during a month. Monthly throughput is calculated by summing
the volume of gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks
at each GDF during the current day, plus the total volume of gasoline loaded into,
or dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at each GDF during the previous 364
days, and then dividing that sum by 12.
(18) "Motor vehicle" means
any self-propelled vehicle designed for transporting persons or property on a street
or highway.
(19) "Nonroad engine" means
an internal combustion engine (including the fuel system) that is not used in a

its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the
capacity of a source to emit an air pollutant, including air pollution control equipment
and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted,
stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation is
enforceable by the EPA. This section does not alter or affect the use of this section
for any other purposes under the Act, or the term "capacity factor" as used in Title
IV of the Act or the regulations promulgated thereunder. Secondary emissions shall
not be considered in determining the potential to emit of a source.
(23) "Reconstruct a Major
Source" means the replacement of components at an existing process or production
unit that in and of itself emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons per year of
any HAP or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP, whenever: the fixed capital
cost of the new components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would
be required to construct a comparable process or production unit; and; it is technically
and economically feasible for the reconstructed major source to meet the applicable
maximum achievable control technology emission limitation for new sources established
under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart B.
(24) "Regulated Air Pollutant"

which emits or may emit any regulated air pollutant;
(29) "Submerged filling"
means the filling of a gasoline storage tank through a submerged fill pipe whose
discharge is no more than the applicable distance specified in OAR 340-244-0240(3)
from the bottom of the tank. Bottom filling of gasoline storage tanks is included
in this definition.
(30) "Topping off" means,

the nozzle has clicked off.
(31) "Vapor balance system"
means a combination of pipes and hoses that create a closed system between the vapor
spaces of an unloading gasoline cargo tank and a receiving storage tank such that
vapors displaced from the storage tank are transferred to the gasoline cargo tank
being unloaded.
(32) "Vapor-tight" means
equipment that allows no loss of vapors. Compliance with vapor-tight requirements
can be determined by checking to ensure that the concentration at a potential leak
source is not equal to or greater than 100 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit
when measured with a combustible gas detector, calibrated with propane, at a distance
of 1 inch from the source.

Emission Standards
340-244-0210
Emissions Limitation for Existing Sources
(1) Federal MACT.
Existing major and area sources must comply with the applicable emissions standards
for existing sources promulgated by the EPA pursuant to section 112(d), section
112(n), or section 129 of the FCAA and adopted by rule within this Division.
(2) State
MACT. If the EPA fails to meet its schedule for promulgating a MACT standard for
a source category or subcategory, DEQ must approve HAP emissions limitations for
existing major sources within that category or subcategory according to 40 CFR Part
63, Subpart B.
(a) The owner
or operator of each existing major source within that category will file permit
applications in accordance with OAR 340-218-0040 and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart B.
(b) If, after
a permit has been issued, the EPA promulgates a MACT standard applicable to a source
that is more stringent than the one established pursuant to this section, DEQ must
revise the permit upon the next renewal to reflect the standard promulgated by the
EPA. The source will be given a reasonable time to comply, but no longer than 8
years after the standard is promulgated;
(c) DEQ will
not establish a case-by-case State MACT:
(A) For existing
solid waste incineration units where an emissions standard will be established for
these units by the EPA pursuant to section 111 of the FCAA. These sources are subject
to applicable emissions standards under OAR chapter 340, division 230; or
(B) For existing
major HAP sources where an emissions standard or alternative control strategy will
be established by the EPA pursuant to section 112(n) of the FCAA.
(3) Compliance
schedule:
(a) The owner
or operator of the source must comply with the emission limitation:
(A) Within
the time frame established in the applicable Federal MACT standard, but in no case
later than three years from the date of federal promulgation of the applicable MACT
requirements; or
(B) Within
the time frame established by DEQ where a state-determined MACT has been established
or a case-by-case determination has been made.
(b) Notwithstanding
the requirements of this section, no existing source that has installed Best Available
Control Technology or has been required to meet Lowest Achievable Emission Rate
before the promulgation of a federal MACT applicable to that emissions unit is required
to comply with such MACT standard until 5 years after the date on which such installation
or reduction has been achieved, as determined by DEQ.

Emission Standards for Gasoline
Dispensing Facilities
340-244-0232
Purpose
This rule establishes emission limitations
and management practices for hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds
emitted from the loading of gasoline storage tanks and dispensing of fuel at gasoline
dispensing facilities. This rule also establishes requirements to demonstrate compliance
with the emission limitations and management practices.
NOTE: This rule is included in the
State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.

340-244-0234
Affected Sources
(1) The affected source to which the
emission standards apply is each GDF. The affected source includes each gasoline
cargo tank during the delivery of product to a GDF and also includes each storage
tank.
(2) The emissions standards
in OAR 340-244-0236 through 340-244-0252 do not apply to agricultural operations
as defined in ORS 468A.020. Agricultural operations are however required to comply
with the Gasoline Dispensing NESHAP, if applicable (40 CFR part 63 subpart CCCCCC).
(3) All GDFs must comply
with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0240.
(4) The owner or operator
of a GDF must comply with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0242 for the following
gasoline storage tanks:
(a) All tanks with a capacity
of 250 gallons or more located at GDFs:
(A) Whose annual throughput
is480,000 gallons of gasoline or more;
(B) Whose monthly throughput
is 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more; or
(C) In Clackamas, Multnomah,
or Washington County whose annual throughput is 120,000 gallons of gasoline or more.
(b) All tanks with a capacity
of 1,500 gallons or more located at GDFs in the Portland AQMA, Medford AQMA, or
Salem-Keizer in the SKATS.
(5) The owner or operator
of a GDF must comply with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0242(4) for any gasoline
storage tank equipped with a vapor balance system.
(6) An affected source must,
upon request by DEQ or the EPA Administrator, demonstrate its annual or monthly
throughput. For new or reconstructed affected sources, as specified in OAR 340-244-0236(2)
and (3), recordkeeping to document monthly throughput must begin upon startup of
the affected source. For existing sources, as specified in 340-244-0236(4), recordkeeping
to document monthly throughput must begin on January 10, 2008. For existing sources
that are subject only because they load gasoline into fuel tanks other than those
in motor vehicles, as defined in 340-244-0030, recordkeeping to document monthly
throughput must begin on Jan. 24, 2011. Records required under this section must
be kept for a period of 5 years.
(7) The owner or operator
of an affected source, as defined in section (1), is not required to obtain an Oregon
Title V Operating Permit as a result of being subject to OAR 340-244-0236 through
340-244-0252. However, the owner or operator of an affected source must still apply
for and obtain an Oregon Title V Operating Permit if meeting one or more of the
applicability criteria found in 340-218-0020.
(8) The loading of aviation
gasoline storage tanks at airports, and the subsequent transfer of aviation gasoline
within the airport, is not subject to OAR 340-244-0236 through 340-244-0252, except
in the Portland AQMA, Medford AQMA, Salem-Keizer in the SKATS, and Clackamas, Multnomah,
and Washington Counties. In these geographic areas, aviation gasoline is subject
to 340-244-0236 through 340-244-0252.
(9) Monthly throughput is
the total volume of gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, all the gasoline storage
tanks located at a single affected GDF. If an area source has two or more GDFs at
separate locations within the area source, each GDF is treated as a separate affected
source.
(10) If the affected source’s
throughput ever exceeds an applicable throughput threshold, the affected source
will remain subject to the requirements for sources above the threshold, even if
the affected source throughput later falls below the applicable throughput threshold.
(11) The dispensing of gasoline
from a fixed gasoline storage tank at a GDF into a portable gasoline tank for the
on-site delivery and subsequent dispensing of the gasoline into the fuel tank of
a motor vehicle or other gasoline-fueled engine or equipment used within the area
source is only subject to OAR 340-244-0240(1).
(12) For any affected source
subject to the provisions of OAR 340-244-0232 through 340-244-0252 and another federal
rule, the owner or operator may elect to comply only with the more stringent provisions
of the applicable rules. The owner or operator of an affected source must consider
all provisions of the rules, including monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting.
The owner or operator of an affected source must identify the affected source and
provisions with which the owner or operator of an affected source will comply in
the Notification of Compliance Status required under 340-244-0246. The owner or
operator of an affected source also must demonstrate in the Notification of Compliance
Status that each provision with which the owner or operator of an affected source
will comply is at least as stringent as the otherwise applicable requirements in
340-244-0232 through 340-244-0252. The owner or operator of an affected source is
responsible for making accurate determinations concerning the more stringent provisions,
and noncompliance with this rule is not excused if it is later determined that your
determination was in error, and, as a result, the owner or operator of an affected
source is violating 340-244-0232 through 340-244-0252. Compliance with this rule
is the owner’s or operator’s responsibility and the Notification of
Compliance Status does not alter or affect that responsibility.
NOTE: This rule is included in the
State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.

Work Practice and Submerged Fill
Requirements
(1) The owner or operator of a GDF must
not allow gasoline to be handled in a manner that would result in vapor releases
to the atmosphere for extended periods of time. Measures to be taken include, but
are not limited to, the following:
(a) Minimize gasoline spills;
(b) Do not top off or overfill
vehicle tanks. If a person can confirm that a vehicle tank is not full after the
nozzle clicks off, such as by checking the vehicle’s fuel tank gauge, the
person may continue to dispense fuel using best judgment and caution to prevent
a spill;
(c) Post a sign at the GDF
instructing a person filling up a motor vehicle to not top off the vehicle tank;
(d) Clean up spills as expeditiously
as practicable;
(e) Cover all open gasoline
containers and all gasoline storage tank fill-pipes with a gasketed seal when not
in use;
(f) Minimize gasoline sent
to open waste collection systems that collect and transport gasoline to reclamation
and recycling devices, such as oil/water separators.
(g) Ensure that cargo tanks
unloading at the GDF comply with subsections (1)(a) through (e).
(2) Any cargo tank unloading
at a GDF equipped with a functional vapor balance system must connect to the vapor
balance system whenever gasoline is being loaded.
(3) Except as specified in
section (4), the owner or operator of a GDF must only load gasoline into storage
tanks at the facility by utilizing submerged filling, as defined in OAR 340-244-0030,
and as specified in subsection (3)(a), (3)(b), or (3)(c). The applicable distances
in subsections (3)(a) and (3)(b) must be measured from the point in the opening
of the submerged fill pipe that is the greatest distance from the bottom of the
storage tank.
(a) Submerged fill pipes
installed on or before Nov. 9, 2006, must be no more than 12 inches from the bottom
of the storage tank.
(b) Submerged fill pipes
installed after Nov. 9, 2006, must be no more than 6 inches from the bottom of the
storage tank.
(c) Submerged fill pipes
not meeting the specifications of subsection (3)(a) or (3)(b) are allowed if the
owner or operator of a GDF can demonstrate that the liquid level in the tank is
always above the entire opening of the fill pipe. Documentation providing such demonstration
must be made available for inspection by DEQ and the EPA Administrator during the
course of a site visit.
(4) Gasoline storage tanks
with a capacity of less than 250 gallons are not subject to the submerged fill requirements
in section (3).
(5) The owner or operator
of a GDF must submit the applicable notifications as required under OAR 340-244-0246.
(6) The owner or operator
of a GDF must have records available within 24 hours of a request by DEQ or the
EPA Administrator to document gasoline throughput.
(7) The owner or operator
of a GDF must comply with the requirements of this rule by the applicable dates
specified in OAR 340-244-0238.
(8) Portable gasoline containers
that meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 59 subpart F are considered acceptable
for compliance with subsection (1)(e).
