    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by E.
    Dunham):
    On June 15,
    1994, the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency) filed this proposal for rulemaking.
    Section
    182(b) (1) of the Clean Air Act (42 USC 7511(b) (1)) requires all
    moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas to achieve
    a 15
    reduction
    in 1990 emissions of volatile organic material
    (VOM)
    by
    1996.
    The Chicago and the Metro—East St. Louis areas are
    classified as severe and moderate nonattainnient areas for ozone
    and are subject to the 15
    reduction requirement.
    The proposed
    rule represents Part III of the rules proposed in the Agency’s
    15
    Rate of Progress Plan
    (ROP Plan).
    Section 182(b) (1) requires
    states to submit 15
    ROP Plans within three years of the
    enactment of the CAA.
    Illinois submitted its plan on November
    15,
    1993.
    On January 21,
    1994, the USEPA found the submitted
    plan to be incomplete because
    it was not accompanied by fully
    adopted rules.
    Illinois is currently on notice that it has 18
    months to adopt the necessary rules before sanctions are imposed
    under Section 179(a)
    of the CAA
    (42 USC §7509(a)).
    The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
    Environmental Protection Act
    (Act).
    (415 ILCS 5/1 et
    seq.
    (1992).)
    The Board
    is charged therein to “determine, define,
    and
    implement the environmental control standards applicable
    in the
    state of Illinois.”
    (415 ILCS 5/5(b)
    (1992).)
    More generally,
    the Board’s rulemaking charge is based on the system of checks
    and balances integral to the Illinois environmental governance:
    the Board bears responsibility for the rulemaking and principal
    adjudicatory functions; the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency) has primary responsibility for administration of
    the Act and the Board’s regulations.
    The latter includes
    administering today’s new regulation.
    This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Act.
    (415 ILCS 5/28.5
    (1992).)
    Pursuant to the provisions of that
    section the Board is required to proceed within the set time
    frames toward the adoption of the regulation.
    The Board has no
    discretion to adjust these time frames under any circumstances.
    Today the Board acts to send this proposal to second notice under
    the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
    (5 ILCS
    100/1005—40
    (1992)
    .)

    PROCEDURAL HISTORY
    The Board sent this proposal to first notice under the APA
    on June 23,
    1994,
    without commenting on the merits of the
    proposal.
    The proposed rule was published in the Illinois
    Register on July 8,
    1994, at 18 Ill. Reg.
    10536
    (Part 211),
    18
    Ill.
    Reg.
    10549
    (Part 218)
    and
    18
    Ill. Reg.
    10584
    (Part 219).
    A
    hearing was held on August 4,
    1994,
    in Chicago, Illinois before
    Board hearing officer Diane O’Neill.
    Previously—scheduled second
    and third hearings were cancelled pursuant to Section 28.5(g)
    of
    the Act because a request for a second hearing was not received
    by the Board.
    (415 ILCS 5/28.5(g)
    (1992).)
    The comment period
    closed on August 22,
    1994.
    PROPOSAL
    The geographic areas affected by this proposal are the
    Chicago and Metro—East nonattainment areas.
    The proposed
    amendments to Subpart V increase the Total Resource Effectiveness
    (TRE)
    index and add a “once
    in always in” provision.
    This
    proposal also revises Subpart B
    (Organic Emissions from Storage
    and Loading Operations)
    of Parts 218 and 219.
    This revision is
    similar to the draft Control Techniques Guideline
    (CTG)
    and
    Alternative Control Technology
    (ACT)
    documents issued by the
    United States Environmental Protection Agency.
    The proposal adds
    the definitions of “fill” and “maximum true vapor pressure” to
    Part 211.
    The proposal also adds the definition for “opacity” to
    Part 211 from Part 240.
    The proposal amends the air oxidation rules.
    The control
    requirements apply to any air oxidation process with a TRE index
    of 6.0 or less.
    The Agency has identified
    5 potentially affected
    sources in the Chicago area.
    No air oxidation sources were found
    in the Metro—East area.
    The proposal requires each affected owner or operator to
    reduce the VOM emissions vented by at least 98
    by weight or to
    emit VON at a concentration of less than 20 parts per million by
    volume, dry basis.
    The proposal also adds language which
    requires continued control even if
    a change in operations results
    in a TRE index that is above that which initially made the
    regulation applicable.
    Similarly phthalic anhydride air
    oxidation processes must maintain a control level of 90
    or the
    equivalent of 50 ppmv,
    dry basis,
    until either the existing
    combustion device is considered to be replaced or December
    31,
    1999, whichever comes
    first.
    The proposal affects owners or operators of VOL storage
    facilities in the Chicago and Metro—East nonattaimnent area who
    store VOL with a maximum true vapor pressure of 0.050 psia or
    greater but less than 11.1 psia in any tank reservoir,
    or other
    such container of more than 151 cubic meters
    (40,000 gal.)

    3
    The proposal requires each owner or operator of an organic
    liquid storage tank with a capacity of 40,000 gallons or more and
    a vapor pressure of 0.75 psia or greater but not exceeding 11.1
    psia to install control systems.
    The control measures are
    specified according to the type of roof on the vessel containing
    the liquid.
    Owners or operators of organic liquid storage tanks
    with a vapor pressure of 0.50 psia or greater but less than 11.1
    psia are required to maintain certain operational records for
    storage of VOL with a vapor pressure exceeding 0.75 psia to test
    and monitor operations at the storage tank.
    PUBLIC COMMENTS
    The Board received four public comments during the public
    comment period.
    Comments were submitted by the Department of
    Commerce and Community Affairs
    (DCCA)
    (PC #1), the Illinois
    Environmental Regulatory Group
    (IERG)
    (PC #2), the Agency
    (PC #3)
    and the Administrative Code Division of the Secretary of State
    (PC #4).
    The Board has considered all public comments,
    as well
    as all testimony and exhibits,
    in making its decisions in this
    matter.
    In general, there is no disagreement on the part of the
    participants and commenters on the substance of the proposal.
    The comment from DCCA states that DCCA has reviewed the
    proposal for impact on small businesses.
    DCCA defers to the
    findings of the Board based on hearing and public comment.
    The
    Code Division suggest various form and typographical corrections
    which the Board accepts and incorporates into the proposed rules.
    In its comment, IERG presents additional language suggested
    during the hearings.
    IERG recommends that Sections
    218.120(a) (4) (C)
    and 219.120(a) (4) (C) be added to the proposed
    amendments.
    These new subsections would allow owners and
    operators who, prior to December 31,
    1992, had installed control
    devices that were designed to reduce inlet VON emissions by
    greater than or equal to 90 percent, to continue to operate the
    control devices at these design levels.
    IERG also suggest the
    inclusion of actual temperatures in the definition of “Maximum
    True Vapor Pressure” to replace “local maximum monthly average
    temperature”.
    IERG also raises its concern over the
    applicability provision of the proposed rule in Sections 218.119
    and 219.119.
    IERG states that these sections fail to reference
    each category of VOL storage containers subject to control
    requirements within the proposal.
    IERG also suggests the
    deletion of Sections 218.127(c)
    and 219.127(c)
    concerning
    approval of an operating plan.
    The Agency in its comment expresses its agreement with the
    changes proposed by IERG.
    At hearing the Agency presented an
    errata sheet noting correction of typographic errors to the
    proposed amendments.
    (Exh. 1)
    The Board will make the changes

    4
    recommended by IERG and agreed to by the Agency.
    The Board will
    also make the changes noted on the Agency’s errata sheet.
    CONCLUSION
    The Board finds that the proposed rules are technically
    feasible and economically reasonable, and that the rules are
    necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
    We find
    that the record supports proceeding with the proposed rules
    as
    amended to second notice.
    To assist comparison to today’s proposal with the proposal
    as adopted for first notice the Board indicates significant
    revisions by highlighting (redlining)
    in the order that follows.
    Appropriate underlining and strikeouts are included within the
    highlighted text.

    except during initial fill and during those
    intervals when the storage vessel is
    com~letelvemptied and subsequently refilled.
    When the roof is resting on the leg supports,
    the process of filling, emptying~or
    refilling shall be continuous and shall be
    accomplished as rapidly as possible.
    ~j
    Each internal floating roof shall be equipped
    with one of the following closure devices
    between the wall of the storage vessel and
    the edge of the internal floating roof:
    A foam—
    or liquid—filled seal mounted in
    contact with the liquid
    (liquid-mounted
    seal).
    A liquid—mounted seal means a
    foam- or liquid—filled seal mounted in
    contact with the liquid between the wall
    of the storage vessel and the floating
    roof continuously around the
    circumference of the tank
    ku
    Two seals mounted one above the other so
    that each forms a continuous closure
    that completely covers the space between
    the wall of the storage vessel and the

    Introduction

    27
    This
    Appendix
    presents
    the
    reference
    methods
    and
    procedures
    required
    for
    implementing
    Reasonably
    Available
    Control
    Technology
    (RACT).
    Methods
    and
    procedures
    are
    identified
    for
    two
    types
    of
    PACT implementation:
    a)
    Determination of VOM destruction efficiency for evaluating
    compliance with the 98 weight percent VON reduction or 20
    ppmv emission limit
    specified in Sections 215.520 218.520
    through 215.527 218.527 of this Part and
    b)
    Determination of offgas flowrate, hourly emissions and
    stream net heating value for calculating TRE.
    All reference methods identified in this Appendix refer to the
    reference methods specified at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
    incorporated by reference in Section 215.105 218.112 of this
    Part.
    VON DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY DETERMINATION
    The following reference methods and procedures are required for
    determining compliance with the percent destruction efficiency
    specified in Sections 215.520 218.520 through 215.527 218.527 of
    this Part.
    a)
    Reference Method
    1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
    The control device inlet sampling site for determination of
    vent stream molar composition or total organic compound
    destruction efficiency shall be prior to the inlet of any
    control device and after all recovery devices.
    b)
    Reference Methods
    2,
    2A,
    2C or 2D for determination of the
    volumetric flowrate.
    C)
    Reference Method
    3 to measure oxygen concentration of the
    air dilution correction.
    The emission sample shall be
    corrected to
    3 percent oxygen.
    d)
    Reference Method 25
    (a) to determine the concentration of
    total organic compounds (minus methane and ethane)
    in the
    control device outlet and total organic compound reduction
    efficiency of the control device.
    TRE DETERMINATION
    The following reference methods and procedures are required for
    determining the offgas flowrate,
    hourly emissions,
    and the net
    heating value of the gas combusted to calculate the vent stream
    TRE.
    a)
    Reference Method
    1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
    The sampling site for the vent stream flowrate and molar
    composition determination prescribed in
    (b)
    and
    (c)
    shall be
    prior to the inlet of any combustion device, prior to any

    28
    post-reactor dilution of the stream with air and prior to
    any post—reactor introduction of halogenated compounds into
    the vent stream.
    Subject to the preceding restrictions on
    the sampling site,
    it shall be after the final recovery
    device.
    If any gas stream other than the air oxidation vent
    stream is normally conducted through the recovery system of
    the affected facility, such stream shall be rerouted or
    turned off while the vent stream is sampled, but shall be
    routed normally prior to the measuring of the initial value
    of the monitored parameters for determining compliance with
    the recommended PACT.
    If the air oxidation vent stream is
    normally routed through any equipment which is not a part of
    the air oxidation process as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    211.122 211.350 of this Part,
    such equipment shall be
    bypassed by the vent stream while the vent stream is
    sampled, but shall not be bypassed during the measurement of
    the initial value of the monitored parameters for
    determining compliance with Subpart V.
    b)
    The molar composition of the vent stream shall be determined
    using the following methods:
    1)
    Reference Method
    18 to measure the concentration of all
    organics,
    including those containing halogens, unless a
    significant portion of the compounds of interest are
    polymeric (high molecular weight), can polymerize
    before analysis or have low vapor pressures,
    in which
    case Reference Method 25(a)
    shall be used.
    2)
    ASTM D1946—67
    (reapproved 1977),
    incorporated by
    reference in Section 215.105 218.112 of this Part,
    to
    measure the concentration of carbon monoxide and
    hydrogen.
    3)
    Reference Method
    4
    to measure the content of water
    vapor,
    if necessary.
    c)
    The volumetric flowrate shall be determined using Reference
    Method
    2,
    2A, 2C or 2D,
    as appropriate.
    d)
    The net heating value of the vent stream shall be calculated
    using the following equation:
    n
    H=K
    E
    CiHi
    i=1
    Where:
    H
    =
    Net heating value of the sample, MJ/scm, where the
    net enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on
    combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm Hg, but the standard
    temperature for determining the volume
    corresponding to one mole is 20°C,as in the
    definition of F (vent stream flowrate) below.

    29
    K
    =
    Constant,
    1.740 x ~
    (1/ppm)
    (mole/scm)
    (MJ/kcal)
    where standard temperature for mole/scm is 20°C.
    Ci
    =
    Concentration of sample component
    i, reported on a
    wet basis,
    in ppm,
    as measured by Reference Method
    18 or ASTM D1946—67
    (reapproved 1977),
    incorporated by reference in Section 215.105
    218.112 of this Part.
    Hi
    =
    Net heat of combustion of sample component i,
    kcal/mole based on combustion at 25°Cand 760 mm
    Hg.
    If published values are not available or
    cannot be calculated,
    the heats of combustion of
    vent stream components are required to be
    determined using ASTM D2382-76, incorporated by
    reference in Section 215.105 218.112 of this Part.
    e)
    The emission rate of total organic compounds in the process
    vent stream shall be calculated using the following
    equation:
    n
    E=K
    F
    E
    CiMi
    i=1
    Where:
    E
    =
    Emission rate of total organic compounds (minus
    methane and ethane)
    in the sample in kg/hr;
    K

    Determination of VON destruction efficiency for evaluating
    compliance with the 98 weight percent VON reduction or 20
    ppmv
    emission
    limit
    specified
    in
    Sections 215.520 219.520
    through 215.527 219.527 of this Part and

    51
    b)
    Determination of offgas flowrate, hourly emissions and
    stream net heating value for calculating TRE.
    All reference methods identified in this Appendix refer to the
    reference methods specified at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
    incorporated by reference in Section 215.105 219.112 of this
    Part.
    VOM DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY DETERMINATION
    The following reference methods and procedures are required for
    determining compliance with the percent destruction efficiency
    specified in Sections 215.520 219.520 through 215.527 219.527 of
    this Part.
    a)
    Reference Method
    1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
    The control device inlet sampling site for determination of
    vent stream molar composition or total organic compound
    destruction efficiency shall be prior to the inlet of any
    control device and after all recovery devices.
    b)
    Reference Methods
    2,
    2A,
    2C or 2D for determination of the
    volumetric flowrate.
    c)
    Reference Method
    3 to measure oxygen concentration of the
    air dilution correction.
    The emission sample shall be
    corrected to
    3 percent oxygen.
    d)
    Reference Method 25
    (a)
    to determine the concentration of
    total organic compounds (minus methane and ethane)
    in the
    control device outlet and total organic compound reduction
    efficiency of the control device.
    TRE DETERMINATION
    The following reference methods and procedures are required for
    determining the offgas flowrate, hourly emissions, and the net
    heating value of the gas combusted to calculate the vent stream
    TRE.
    a)
    Reference Method
    1 or 1A for selection of the sampling site.
    The sampling site for the vent stream flowrate and molar
    composition determination prescribed in
    (b)
    and
    (c)
    shall be
    prior to the inlet of any combustion device, prior to any
    post-reactor dilution of the stream with air and prior to
    any post—reactor introduction of halogenated compounds into
    the vent stream.
    Subject to the preceding restrictions on
    the sampling site,
    it shall be after the final recovery
    device.
    If any gas stream other than the air oxidation vent
    stream is normally conducted through the recovery system of
    the affected facility, such stream shall be rerouted or
    turned off while the vent stream is sampled, but shall be
    routed normally prior to the measuring of the initial value
    of the monitored parameters for determining compliance with

    52
    the
    recommended
    PACT.
    If
    the
    air
    oxidation
    vent
    stream
    is
    normally
    routed
    through
    any
    equipment
    which
    is
    not

    by
    the
    vent
    stream
    while
    the
    vent
    stream
    is
    sampled, but shall not be bypassed during the measurement of
    the
    initial
    value
    of
    the monitored parameters for
    determining compliance with Subpart V.
    b)
    The molar composition of the vent stream shall be determined
    using the following methods:
    1)
    Reference
    Method
    18
    to
    measure
    the
    concentration
    of

    organics, including those containing halogens, unless a
    significant portion of the compounds of interest are
    polymeric
    (high molecular weight), can polymerize
    before
    analysis
    or
    have
    low
    vapor
    pressures,
    in
    which
    case
