ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D.
Dumelle):
On July
16,
1987,
the Board adopted
an Order proposing
amendments
to 35
Ill.
Adm.
Code 211 and 215 for First
Notice.
However, two corrections must
be made to that
Order
to insure
publication
in the Illinois Register.
The Board accordingly
takes
its action today to
make
those
two correcLions.
1.
Recodification
of
Sections 215.420-215.428
In the July
16,
1987 Order, Sections 215.420 through 215.428
were renumbered
to become Sections 215.421 through 215.429.
It
has
come
to the Board’s
attention
that,
since
more
than
three
sections
are
being
renumbered,
the
Illinois
Administrative
Procedures
Act
(IAPA)
requires
that
this
renumbering
be
accomplished
by
publication
of
a
separate
“notice
of
recodification”.
The
process
of
recodification,
however,
does
not.
allow
for
any
substantive
changes
to
be
made
to
the
text
of
the
rules.
Therefore,
the
Board adopts the recodification of former
Sections
215.420 through
215.428
to
become
the
new
Sections
215.421 through 215.429.
The following table clarifies
the recodification
accomplished by this Order.

Amendement
of July 16,
1987 Board Order
80—273
-2-
Because the recodification described above accomplishes the
renumbering of Sections
215.421 through 215.429
(as
recodified),
those
aspects
of
the
July
16,
1987
Order
dealing
with
that
renumbering
are
no
longer
necessary
in
the
R86-39
proposal.
Only
sections
being
substantively
amended
will
remain
after
today’s
Order.
Also, due to inadvertence, proposed
Section 215.420 and
three definitions
(“in vacuum service”,
“repaired” and
“open-
ended/valve”) were omitted from the July
16, 1987, Order.
Section 215.420
and those definitions will be included
in today’s
Order.
For purposes of
clarity and convenience,
the Board will
set
out the entire proposal,
as amended,
in Number
2 of
the Order
below.

A component
shall
be considered
to
be leaking if the volatile organic
material concentration exceeds 10,000 ppm when
measured
at
a
distance
of

Requirements
The owner or operator of
a plant which processes more than 3660
Mg/yr
(4033 tons/year) gaseous and/or light liq~uidvolatile
~ganic
material,
and whose components are used
to manufacture
the synthetic organic
chemicals or polymers listed in Appendix
I),
shall conduct leak inspection
and repair programs for that
~quipment
in
accordance with this Subpart.
Leak inspection and
repair programs shall
he conducted for that equipment
containing
10
percent
or more
by weight volatile organic material as
determined by ASTM method E-168,
E—169 and
E—260.
A component
shall be considered
to
be leaking if the volatile organic
material
is equal
to,
or
is greater than 10,000 parts per million
by volume
(ppmv)
as methane or hexane as determined by USEPA
Reference Method
21,
indication of liquids (Jrippin~, or
indication by
a sensor that
a seal or barrier fluid system has
failed.
The provisions
of this Subpart

Section 215.432
Inspection Program
for Leaks
The owner
or operator
of
a synthetic organic chemical or polymer
manufacturing
plant
subject
to Section 215.430 through
215T~WT
shall for the purposes
of detecting leaks,
conduct
a component
inspection program consistent with the following provisions:
a)
Test annually those components operated near extreme
temperature of pressure such that they would
be unsafe
to routinely monitor, and those components
located more
than two meters above permanent worker access structures
or surfaces
b)
Test quarterly all other pressure relief valves
in gas
service, pumps
in light liquid service, valves
in light
service and
in gas service, and compressors.
c)
If less than or equal to
2 percent
of the valves
in
~ght
liquid service and
in gas service tested pursuant
to subsection
(b) are found not to leak
for
5
consecutive quarters, no leak tests
shall
be required
for three consecutive quarters.
Thereafter,
leak tests
shall resume for the next
quarter.
If that test shows
less
than or equal
to
2 percent
of the valves
in light
liquid
service and
in gas service are leaking,
then no
tests are required for the Next
3 quarters.
If more
than
2 percent are leaking,
then tests are required for
80—284
-13-
the next
5 quarters.
d)
Observe
visually
all
pump
seals
weekly.
e)
Test
immediately
any
pump
seal
from
which
liquids
are
observed dripping.
f)
Test
any
relief valve within
24 hours after it has
vented
to the atmosphere.
Test immediately after repair any component
that
was
found leaking.
h)
Within
1
hour
of
its
detection,
a
weatherproof
and
readily
visible
tag
bearing
an
identification
number
and
the
date
on
which
the
leak
was
detected
must
be
affixed
on the leaking component and remain
in place until
the
leaking
component
is
repaired.
i)
Any
component
that
is
in
vacuum
service,
pressure
