# §63.7926. How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limitations and work practice standards for closed vent systems and control devices?

- (a) You must demonstrate initial compliance with the emissions limitations and work practice standards in this subpart applicable to your closed vent system and control device by meeting the requirements in [paragraphs (b) through (h)](#b..h) of this section that apply to your closed vent system and control device.
- (b) You must demonstrate initial compliance with the closed vent system work practice standards in [§ 63.7925(c)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=c) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you have met the requirements in paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(2)](#b-2) of this section.
  - (1) You have installed a closed vent system that meets the requirements in § [63.695(c)(1)](/cfr/40/63.695.md?p=c-1) and [(2)](/cfr/40/63.695.md?p=c-2), and you have records documenting the equipment design and installation.
  - (2) You have performed the initial inspection of the closed vent system according to the requirements in § [63.695(c)(1)(i)](/cfr/40/63.695.md?p=c-1-i) or [(ii)](/cfr/40/63.695.md?p=c-1-ii), and you have records documenting the inspection results.
- (c) You must demonstrate initial compliance of each control device subject to the emissions limits in [§ 63.7925(d)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=d) with the applicable emissions limit in [§ 63.7925(d)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=d) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you have met the requirements in paragraphs [(c)(1)](#c-1) and [(2)](#c-2) of this section that apply to you.
  - (1) For the emissions limit in [§ 63.7925(d)(1)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=d-1), the emissions of total HAP listed in Table 1 of this subpart or TOC (minus methane and ethane) from the control device, measured or determined according to the procedures for performance tests and design evaluations in [§ 63.7941](/cfr/40/63.7941.md), are reduced by at least 95 percent by weight.
  - (2) For the emissions limit in [§ 63.7925(d)(2)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=d-2), the concentration of total HAP listed in Table 1 of this subpart or TOC (minus methane and ethane) from the combustion control device, measured by a performance test or determined by a design evaluation according to the procedures in [§ 63.7941](/cfr/40/63.7941.md), do not exceed 20 ppmv on a dry basis corrected to 3 percent oxygen.
- (d) You must demonstrate initial compliance of each control device subject to operating limits in [§ 63.7925(g)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=g) with the applicable limits if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you have met the requirements in paragraphs [(d)(1)](#d-1) and [(2)](#d-2) of this section.
  - (1) You have established an appropriate operating limit(s) for each of the operating parameter applicable to your control device as specified in [§ 63.7925(g)(1) through (6)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=g-1..g-6).
  - (2) You have a record of the applicable operating parameter data during the performance test or design evaluation during which the emissions met the applicable limit.
- (e) You must demonstrate initial compliance with the spent carbon replacement and disposal work practice standards for carbon adsorption systems in [§ 63.7925(h)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=h) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you will comply with each work practice standard that applies to your carbon adsorption system.
- (f) You must demonstrate initial compliance with the catalyst replacement work practice standards for catalytic incinerators in [§ 63.7925(i)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=i) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you will comply with the specified work practice standard.
- (g) You must demonstrate initial compliance of each flare with the work practice standards in [§ 63.7925(e)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=e) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you have met the requirements in [paragraphs (g)(1) through (3)](#g-1..g-3) of this section.
  - (1) Each flare meets the requirements in [§ 63.11(b)](/cfr/40/63.11.md?p=b).
  - (2) You have performed a visible emissions test, determined the net heating value of gas being combusted, and determined the flare exit velocity as required in [§ 63.693(h)(2)](/cfr/40/63.693.md?p=h-2).
  - (3) You will operate each flare according to the requirements in [§ 63.11(b)](/cfr/40/63.11.md?p=b).
- (h) You must demonstrate initial compliance of each boiler or process heater with the work practice standards in [§ 63.7925(f)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=f) if you have submitted as part of your notification of compliance status, specified in [§ 63.7950](/cfr/40/63.7950.md), a signed statement that you have met the requirements in [paragraphs (h)(1) through (3)](#h-1..h-3) of this section.
  - (1) For the work practice standards in [§ 63.7925(f)(1)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=f-1), you have records documenting that the boiler or process heater is designed to operate at a residence time of 0.5 seconds or greater and maintain the combustion zone temperature at 760 °C or greater.
  - (2) For the work practice standard in [§ 63.7925(f)(2)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=f-2), you have records documenting that the vent stream is introduced with the fuel according to the requirements in [§ 63.693(g)(1)(iv)](/cfr/40/63.693.md?p=g-1-iv), or that the vent stream is introduced to a boiler or process heater that meets the requirements in [§ 63.693(g)(1)(v)](/cfr/40/63.693.md?p=g-1-v).
  - (3) For the work practice standard in [§ 63.7925(f)(3)](/cfr/40/63.7925.md?p=f-3), you have records documenting you either have been issued a final permit under [40 CFR part 270](/cfr/40/part270.md) and your boiler or process heater complies with the requirements of [40 CFR part 266](/cfr/40/part266.md), [subpart H](/cfr/40/subpartH.md)—Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces; or has been certified in compliance with the interim status requirements of [40 CFR part 266](/cfr/40/part266.md), subpart H.
