This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l) of the Clefcri A1r
Act amendments of 1977. The Federally enforceable regulations contained in the State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been compiled for all 56 States and territbHes
(with th'e exception of the Northern Mariana Islands). They consist of both the
Federally approved State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in thd
Federal Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State4 as
indicated in the Federal Register. Regulations which fall into one of the above
categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated. As mandated by COntjrfcilk,
this document,wiu be updated annually. State and/or local air quality regulations
which Have not been Federally approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included hd
omission of these regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of

s INTRODUCTION
*
This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)
of the Clean Ait Act, Amendments of 1977. The Federally enforceable.
regulations contained 1n the State Implementation-Plans (SIPs) have-beerv
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands). They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in the Federal
Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
idlcated in the Federal Regi
the above categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated. As
indicated In the Federal Reflister. Regulations which fall into one of
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually. State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not Included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.
There have been recent changes in the Federal enforceabllity of
parking management regulations and indirect source regulations. The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing legislation. Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended indefinitely. Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act-.Amendments, indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP. Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source, regulations Contained in an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable. More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which are specific to Federally
funded, operated, or-owned facilities or projects. Therefore, the
Federally promulgated indirect source regulations appearing 1n this
document are not enforceable by EPA except as they relate to Federal
facilities.
Since State air quality regulations vary widely in their organization,
content,-and language, a standardized subject Index is utilized in this
document. Index listings consist of both contaminant and activity oriented
categories to facilitate usage. For example, for regulations which apply
to copper smelters, one might look under sulfur compounds (50.2), particu-
1ate matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters (51.15). Federal
regulations pertaining to a given State immediately follow the approved
State and local regulations.
Additionally, a summary sheet of the information included in each
comprehensive document is presented prior to the regulatory text to
allow one to quickly assess the contents of the document. Specifically,
the summary sheets contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision
iii
-------
to the SlP and the date of the Federal Register in which the revision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA. Finally, a brief description
or reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.
This document is not intended to provfde a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given Regulation. As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation of those regulations
which are incorporated directly dr by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code of Federal Regulation's. Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation. Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this
document does not, in itself, redder the regulation enforceable.

continuing or maintaining agriculture as a gainful occupation.
Fuels are limited to materials grown on site and are not to include
feed or fertilizer containers; finished lumber, plastic or rubber
products; plumage, hides, fur, offal or fecal material or refuse
from plant or animal processing other than from initial crop
harvesting, pruning or attrition of forest, fruit and nut trees,
vines and cane crops.
1002 "Certify". Means to submit documentary evidence of a decision.
1003 "Consultation". Means the active participation by written referral
and/or joint examination by the permit-writing agency and the Air
Pollution Control Officer (or his delegated agent) in making the

retain the prerogative to withhold permission to burn.
1004 "District". Means the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District.
1005 "Fire". Means any combustion of combustible materials of any type
outdoors in the open, not in any enclosure, where the products of
combustion are not directed through a flue.
1006 "Flue", teans any duct or passage for air, gases, or the like, such
as a stack or chimney.
1007 "Gainful Occupation1!, teans any occupation from which there is
proof of gross profTt as evidenced by tax receipts, sales slips,
or other such documents.
1008 "Notice". Means the verbal or documentary notification of intent to
use open fire under the provisions of this Regulation. If verbal
i.* notice Js given, there must be a written confirmation of this action
-••. sent tp^the designee within five days.
-1-
-------
1009 "Permissive Burn-Day". Means any day that is so declared by the
A1r Pollution Control Officer when 1n his opinion, air pollution
caused by open burning may be minimized. In declaring such
permissive burn-days, the meteorological criteria established by
the A1r Resources Board for the San Francisco Bay Area Basin
shall be used as a guideline.
1010 "Treated Brush". Means the material to be burned has been felled,
crushed, or uprooted with mechanical equipment, or has been
desicated with herbicide.
(2.0) 2000 GENERAL PROHIBITION. No person, firm, corporation, association,
or public agency shall ignite, cause to be ignited, permit to be
ignited, or suffer, allow, or maintain any open outdoor fire
within the District, except as provided in this Regulation.

purposes are excepted from the prohibitions of Section 2000.
3001 Cooking and Recreation. Fires used only for cooking of food for
human beings.Fires used for recreational purposes, using only
clean dry wood or charcoal, and a small amount of fire-starter.
3002 Safety Hares. Fires burning as safety flares or for the
combustion of waste gases.
3003 Flame Cultivation. The use of flame cultivation when the burning
is performed with LPG or natural gas-fired burners designed and
used to kill seedling grass and weeds in orchards, vineyards and
field crops and the growth is such that the combustion will not
continue without the burner.
3004 Clean Fires. Any fire, if it can be demonstrated that nothing but
carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, or water vapor is emitted under
all operating conditions.
3100 CONDITIONAL EXCEPTIONS. No burning shall take place within the
District on other than a permissive burn-day or without the
permission of the Air Pollution Control Officer except under
those conditions specified under Section 3300. The following
special conditions shall become a term of the permit regulating
fire allowed by. the following subsections unless specifically
exempted in that subsection and shall be complied with during any
burning permitted under those subsections.
.1 No burning before 8:00 a.m., local time.

CALCULATION METHODS AND GENERAL SAMPLING PROCEDURES
(9.0) CHAPTER 1 - CALCULATIONS
8100 Calculation of emissions of air contaminants shall be accomplished
by the calculation methods prescribed 1n this Chapter 1, or by
methods which yield equivalent results. All calculation methods
not specifically prescribed in this regulation shall conform to
accepted engineering practice.
-33-
-------
8110 Correction for the use of auxiliary fuel shall be as specified in
8111, and correction to a basis of 6% oxygen by dry volume shall be
as specified in 8112. For the purposes of 8111 and 8112 the term
, "measured volume" shall mean the emitted or metered volume to be
corrected, expressed in standard cubic feet.
8111 AUXILIARY FUEL CORRECTION. This calculation is intended to correct
the measured volume to the volume which would have existed if the
auxiliary fuel had not been introduced, and results obtained by this
procedure shall be deemed to represent such correction. The method
consists of four steps:
(a) Calculate the amount of oxygen required for stoichiometric
combustion of the auxiliary fuel, at the rate of combustion
occurring during the period of test.
(b) Calculate the composition and quantity of the products of such
stoichiometric combustion in oxygen.
(c) Add, to the measured volume, the amount of oxygen calculated
in step (a)
(d) Subtract, from the result of step (c), the volume of
combustion products calculated in step (b); the result is the
measured volume corrected for auxiliary fuel use.
EXAMPLE: Assume that the gases emitted for an operation using
auxiliary fuel total 400,000 standard cubic feet during a test
period, and have a composition as shown in the "measured" column
of the tabulation below. Assume further that auxiliary fuel usage
during the test is 6,000 standard cubic feet of methane,

8112 OXYGEN CORRECTION This calculation 1s intended to correct the
measured concentration of an air contaminant to that which would
exist if the same quantity of air contaminant were contained in
a dry volume corrected to an oxygen content of 6%; and results
obtained by this procedure shall be deemed to represent such
correction. Where correction for the use of auxiliary fuel is
applicable, the volume and composition resulting from the correction
procedure of 8111 shall be taken as the measured volume for purposes
of this section 8112. The method consists of six steps:
(a) Subtract any water vapor content of the measured volume, to
give a dry volume.
(b) Calculate the oxygen content of the measured volume as a
decimal fraction of the dry volume obtained in step (a).
(c) From the figure 0.2095 (average atmospheric oxygen content)
subtract the decimal fraction of oxygen as obtained in step (b)
(d) Divide the result of step (c) by 0.1495. (This is 0.2095
0.06.)
(e) Multiply the dry volume obtained in step (a) by the quotient
obtained in step (d) to give the corrected dry volume on a
6% oxygen basis.
(f) Divide the weight of air contaminant, in grains, by the
corrected volume obtained in step (e) to give the corrected
concentration.

concentration by the ratio of the measured volume to the corrected
volume obtained in step (e) above.
(9.0) CHAPTER 2 - STANDARD GAS SAMPLING PROCEDURES FOR VENTS AND STACKS
8200 The following stack sampling procedures shall be adhered to in the
determination of gaseous emissions. The controlling factor in all
source test procedures shall be that every reasonable effort will
be made to obtain and deliver for analysis samples which are truly
respresentative of the emissions of the gases being determined.
No other procedure may be used unless such other procedure results
in equivalent determinations of the gaseous emissions being sampled.
8210 Proper adjustments shall be made in the sampling procedure to
compensate for significant stratification and non-homogeneity in
the gas stream, so that the sample of the gas stream approaches a
representative sample.
-36-
-------
8211 All sampling lines shall be free of significant leakage, and
between the sample gas Inlet and the sample collection device they
shall be as short as is compatible with the sampling situation,
and composed of materials not significantly affecting or affected
by the constituents of the sample stream. The sampling lines shall
be purged thoroughly with the gas to be sampled prior to the taking
of the sample.
8212 Where liquid filled impingers are used for the sampler, any filter
proceeding the implngers shall be maintained at standard particulate
sampling temperatures, as specified in 8312.
8213 Where an evacuated flask is used for sample collection, any filter
preceding the sampler may be maintained at ambient temperature.
8214 Evacuated flasks used for sampling shall be handled in such a
manner that significant leaks can be detected, and in the event of
such a leak, the flask shall not be used.
8215 All equipment used for sampling shall be adequately cleaned prior
to use.
8216 Adequate precautions will be taken to avoid loss and contamination
of the sample.
8217 Where liquid-filled impingers are used for sampling, at least two
impingers will be connected in series and will contain solution
and will be partially immersed in an ice bath.
A third impinger in series will follow and shall contain no solution.
8218 All sampling lines shall be checked for the presence of condensates.
If condensation has occurred adjustments in procedure shall be made
either to prevent its occurrence or to compensate for the condensed
material in the sample.
8219 Where impingers or other continuous flow sampling devices are used
a gas measuring device placed in series with and downstream of the
samplers shall be used to determine the volume of gas sampled.
Pressure and temperature indicators shall be installed at appropriate
points to indicate sample gas conditions.
8220 Sufficient test data and notes shall be recorded at the time of the
test by the personnel conducting the sampling to permit the
determination of emissions of pollutant gases and to permit
evaluation of results at a later date.
8221 Where samples are held more than 24 hours before analysis evidence
must be presented to show that any deterioration of the collected
samples prior to analysis would not be significant.
-37-
-------
8222 Any procedure or condition prescribed by any other part of this
regulation shall be adhered to in any applicable sampling test.
(9.0) CHAPTER 3 - PARTICULATE MATTER SAMPLING PROCEDURES FOR VENTS AND STACKS
8300 The following sampling procedures shall be adhered to in the
determination of particulate matter emissions. The controlling
factor in all source test procedures shall be that every reasonable
effort shall be made to obtain samples which are truly representative
of the emissions of the particulate natter being determined.
8310 Proper adjustments shall be made in the sampling procedure to
compensate for significant stratification and non-homogeneity of
particulate matter in the emission, so that a reasonably
representative sample is obtained. Probe size and sampling rate
shall be such as to give a reasonably representative sample.
8311 All tests of source operations shall employ sample collection
devices which are capable of reducing the concentration of particulate
matter in the gases leaving such devices to not more than 10% of
the concentration of particulate matter in the gases entering such
devices; provided that this section 8311 shall not require such
collection devices to reduce the concentration in the effluent
gases to a concentration below 0.0005 grains per standard dry cubic
foot.
8312 Insofar as circumstances reasonably permit the devices required by
8311 shall be positioned directly in the gas stream being sampled.
Where they are not so positioned they shall be maintained at a
temperature not differing by more than 30°F from the emission
temperatures; provided that this section 8312 shall not require the
temperature of such devices to exceed 470°F.
8313 Accepted engineering practice shall be followed in any test
procedure employed for the determination of gas flow rate, gas
composition, moisture content, gas density, process weight rate,
or flow rate or composition of auxiliary fuel.
8314 Adequate precautions shall be taken to avoid loss or contamination
of the sample, and shall include suitable cleaning of the sampling
equipment prior to and after use.
8315 All sampling lines shall be free of significant leakage, and between
the sample gas inlet and the sample collection device they shall
be as short as is compatible with the sampling situation, and
composed of materials not significantly affecting or affected by
the constituents of the sample stream.
8316 Prior to weighing of the sample, the sample shall be reduced to
dryness by methods and under conditions which do not permit
significant change in the weight of particulate matter.
-38-
-------
8317 Where the requirements of 8316 permit such procedure the sample shall
be dried at a temperature not less than 218°F. nor more than 224QF. for
a period of one to two hours after superficial dryness is reached.
Samples dried in such a manner shall be conclusively deemed to be
free of uncombined water.
8318 Sufficient test data and notes shall be recorded at the time of the
test by the personnel conducting the sampling to permit the
determination of emissions and to permit evaluation of results at
a later date.
8319 Any procedure or condition prescribed by any other part of this
regulation shall be adhered to in any applicable sampling test.

doors, except that where either the maximum control and feet
settings or the maximum physically possible charging rate of the
registered types of materials do not result in such smoke-back,
the range of operations shall include a charging rate which is the
maximum permitted by such control and physical limitations.
-39-
-------
8512 Material charged during the test period will, insofar as reasonably
possible, be representative of material normally charged to the
incinerator.
8513 Full-time operation is operation using an operator whose sole duty
with minor exceptions is the operation of the incinerator for a

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
(9.0) CHAPTER 1 - DETERMINATION OF TOTAL SULFUR OXIDES IN SAMPLES TAKEN FROM.
GAS STREAMS'
9110 SCOPE. This method describes a procedure for the determination of
the total sulfur oxides in exhaust gases.
9111 INTERFERENCES. Acidic and alkaline materials interfere if present
in waste gases and corrections may be made for them by the use of
specific analytic techniques. Any sulfuric acid collected in the
impinger shall be included as sulfur oxides.
9112 OUTLINE OF METHOD. The sulfur oxides are absorbed from the gas
stream in a solution of hydrogen peroxide. The acid formed in
titrated with standard alkali.
9113 APPARATUS. Sampling train consists of 3 Greenburg-Smith impingers
or other adequate absorbing devices, each containing 100 ml of 3
per cent fy^Z' The impingers are connected in series, followed by
a dry meter and a source of suction. During sampling the impingers
are immersed in an ice bath.
9114 REAGENTS. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all
reagents conform to the specifications established by the Committee
on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society where such
specifications are available; otherwise, use best available grade.
.1 BROMCRESOL GREEN INDICATOR SOLUTION Bromcresol green indicator
solution, 0.04 per cent.Mix 0.1 g of dry powder in a mortar
with 14.3 ml of 0.01 N sodium hyroxide solution. Dilute to
250 ml with distilled water.
.2 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION (SULFATE FREE). Hydrogen peroxide
solution, 3 per cent. Prepare by diluting 30 per cent hydrogen
peroxide with distilled water. Store in a dark colored
glass-stoppered bottle.
.3 SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION. Sodium hydroxide solution, approx-
imately 0.2 N.For each liter of solution dissolve 8/9 g of
sodium hydroxide-pellets (NaOH) in 150 ml to 200 ml of distilled
water and dilute to volume. Determine normality to within
0.001 N by standardization against potassium acid phthalate
using bromcresol green indicator.
-42-
-------
9115 SAMPLING. Add to each of three Impingers 100 ml of 3 per cent
hydrogen peroxide solution. Connect them with tubing inert to
constituents of the sample stream in such a manner that the gas
will be pulled from the sampling device at the stack through the
impingers, then through the meter. Immerse the impingers in an
ice bath. Sample at 0.5 cfm. The sampling time will depend on the
concentration of sulfur oxides in the gas stream.
9116 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE. Rinse each of the absorbers and their
connecting tubing into a 500-ml Erlenmeyer flask, using approximately
100 ml of rinse water. Bring to a boil and titrate with standard
sodium hydroxide solution, using 4 ml of bromcresol green indicator
solution. Titrate to the blue-color end point.
9117 CALCULATION. Calculate the amount of sulfur oxides in the sample
gas by the following equation:
Sulfur oxides, % by volume as SOe •= 0.0417 (ANj)
Where:
A^ volume, mi Til liters, of standard alkali used in the titration.
NJC: normality of the standard alkali solution.
V= volume of gas sample, cubic feet, at 60° F and 1 atm.
9118 PRECISION. Duplicate results by the same operator on a given sample
should not differ by more than 2 percent of the mean.
9119 ALTERNATIVES. Other analytical techniques may be used for the
determination of total sulfur oxides, provided that such techniques
have been standardized against the prescribed technique.

9212 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE. Collect the sulfur dioxide from 30-40
liters of air in 10.0 ± 0.1 ml of sodium tetrachloromercurate in
a fritted glass bubbler, at a sampling rate not exceeding 5 liters
per minute. To the IO.O^TO.1 ml sample add 1 ml of acidic
p-rosaniline and 1.0 ml of the formaldehyde solution. Treat a 10.0
0.1 ml portion of unexposed sodium tetradoromercurate in the same
manner. Allow to stand 20 minutes for full color development.
Read in a spectrophotometer at 560 mu (1 cm path length). Read
the micrograms of sulfur dioxide from a standard curve prepared by
using dilutions of standard sodium metabisulfite in sodium
tetrachloromercurate.
9213 STANDARDIZATION. Weigh 400 mg sodium metabisulfite (assay 65.5%
as S02) and dissolve in one liter of water.
400 mg x 0.655/1 - .26 mg/ml as S02
Standardize against 0.01 N I?. Dilute the standard $03 solution
1-frlO. This yields a solution containing 26 micrograms of S02 per
ml. Add graduated amounts of the dilute standard up to 1 ml to a
series of 10 ml flasks and dilute to the mark with the sodium
tetrachloromercurate solution. Add 1 ml p-rosaniline dye and 1 ml
formaldehyde solution and allow to stand for 20 minutes for full
color development. Plot the percent transmittance on semi-log
paper vs. the micrograms of S02 per aliquot.

(9.0) CHAPTER 3 - DETERMINATION OF SULFUR TRIOXIDE IN SAMPLES TAKEN FROM GAS
STREAMS
9310 SCOPE. This method describes a procedure for the determination of
503 and H2SOA in exhaust gases. The lower limit of the method is
about 1 ppm (vol) of $03 for a 20 cubic foot sample.
9311 INTERFERENCES. Particulate sulfates interfere, and should be
removed by a glass wool filter maintained at stack temperature.
If a significant quantity of sulfuric acid mist is removed by the
filter, it shall be included in the final calculation. Ammonia,
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides do not interfere.
-44-
-------
9312 OUTLINE OF METHOD. $03 is absorbed in 80 per cent isopro-
panol. The sulfate formed is titrated with Bad2 using Thorin
indicator.
9313 APPARATUS. Sampling train shall consist of three Greenburg-Smith
impingers, or other adequate absorbing devices, connected in series
with tygon or similar tubing, each containing 100 ml 80 per cent
isopropanol. These shall be followed by a mill1pore filter, an
empty impinger, a dry meter, and a source of suction. During
sampling, the impingers shall be partially immersed in an ice bath.
9314 REAGENTS. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all
reagents conform to the specifications established by the Committee
on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society where such
specifications are available; otherwise, use best available grade.
.1 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION (SULFATE FREE). Hydrogen peroxide
solution, 3 per cent. Prepare by diluting 30 per cent hydrogen
peroxide with distilled water. Store in a dark-colored glass-
stoppered bottle.
.2 ISOPROPANOL. 80 per cent by volume. Add 400 ml of the alcohol
to 100 ml water. Mix well.
.3 BARIUM CHLORIDE - (0.1000N) - Dissolve 6.100 grams of
Bad2 2H?0 in 250 ml water. Add 250 ml isopropanol and mix
well. Adjust the pH of the solution to 3.0 using 1-4
perchloric acid. Use a pH meter to measure pH.
.4 PERCHLORIC ACID 1 to 4. Add with caution 75 ml water to 25
ml 70 percent perchloric acid. Mix well.
.5 THORIN INDICATOR ( 0- (2-hydroxy-3,6 disulfo-1 naphthylazo}
benzenearsonic acid disodium salt ). 0.2 grams in 100 ml water.
9315 SAMPLING. Connect the sampling train to a probe and sample at
approximately 0.5 cfm. The sampling time will depend on the
concentration of $03 in the gas, but shall not be less than 15 minutes.
9316 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE. The analytical procedure should commence
within 3 hours of the sample collection to minimize oxidation of
S02. If a delay is anticipated, remove excess S02 by bubbling air
through the train at 0.1 cfm for 5 minutes. The contents of the
impingers are rinsed into a 500 ml volumetric flask with 80 percent
isopropanol and diluted to 500 ml with the alcohol. Mix and transfer
25 ml to a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Adjust the pH to 3.0 with 1 to
4 perchloric acid using a pH meter. Add 2 drops of Thorin indicator
and titrate with the BaCl2 solution to a salmon-pink end point.
Any sulfuric acid collected on the millipore filter shall be
included in the results.
-45-
-------
9317 CALCULATION. The sulfate equivalence of the BaCl2 solution is
checked by titrating against aliquots of standard 0.1000 N sulfuric
acid in 80% isopropanol. One ml of 0.1000 N BaCl2 is equivalent
to 4.8 mg sulfate-ion.

(9.0) CHAPTER 4 - SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE GAS CHROMAT06RAPH TO BE USED FOR
DlTERMINING HYDROCARBON CONCENTRATIONS IN 4113 CHAPTER 1. DIVISION 4
9410 The gas chromatograph used for the determination of hydrocarbons
in connection with this regulation shall consist of an appropriate
detection cell and column, contained in a suitable thermostatically
controlled heated container, carrier gas and recorder: additional
columns of appropriate lengths and compositions shall be used as
necessary in each instance to determine whether the total concen-
tration of saturated and unsaturated C2 to CQ hydrocarbons exceeds
the concentration allowable under 4113, Chapter 1, Division 4.
9411 The determination of hydrocarbons by gas chromatography shall be
based upon the following factors:
.1 A mixture of gases is separated into its individual components
as the mixture flows through a column containing an i'nert
supporting material which has been wetted with an appropriate
high boiling liquid.
.2 The separation is enhanced by a stream of carrier gas which
moves the mixture along the column.
.3 The separated components are detected by a suitable detector
placed at the end of the column.
.4 The signal generated by the detector as the individual compo-
nent arrives at the detector is amplified and recorded on a
suitable recorder.
.5 The resulting chromatogram presents a continuous plot of
detector signal vs. time. Peak readings represent the signal
generated by the arrival at the detector at a specific time
of a parcel of separated component of a mixture of hydrocarbons.
9412 The instrument shall be capable of accepting gas samples directly
by injection or after concentration in a suitable cryogenic bath.
The determination of Cg to CQ hydrocarbons present in a sample shall
be based upon the actual separation of the individual components
of a mixture on the analytical column of gas chromatograph with
subsequent detection by the detector cell of the instrument.
-46-
-------
The detector cell shall be of such nature as to give a minimum
response of 0.01 rav on a 1 millivolt recorder (10 inch scale),
with 5 micrograms of individual hydrocarbons component. The
noise level of the instrument shall be less than 0.005 milli-
volts (signal to noise ration of 2).
9413 The choice of columns, packing, length of columns, temperature of
columns, flow rate of carrier gas, type of detector and type of
recorder shall be such as to enable the separation and detection of
a mixture of C2 to 65 hydrocarbons containing 50 ppm (vol) of such
a gas mixture, either by direct injection of an aliquot, or after
suitable cryogenic concentration from an adequate volume of sample.
Suitable precautions shall be taken to eliminate the interference
of water during the analysis.
9414 An instrument using any other components for the gas chromatographic
determination of C? to C$ hydrocarbons, but otherwise meeting these
specifications shall be acceptable provided that suitable evidence
is presented that such an instrument is equally practicable for the
analysis of C2 to C$ hydrocarbons.
9415 ALTERNATIVES. Other analytical techniques may be used for hydro-
carbon analysis, provided that such techniques have been standardized
against the prescribed gas chromatographic technique for hydrocarbon
determination.
(9.0) CHAPTER 5 - DETERMINATION OF TOTAL CARBONYLS.
9500 This procedure shall be used to determine the concentration of total
carbonyls for the purpose of 4113. Any procedure which provides
for such determination with accuracy equal to or greater than the
prescribed procedure shall be acceptable; provided that the burden
of demonstrating such accuracy shall rest upon the person proposing
the procedure. (Amended by Resolution 578, dated May 7, 1969).
9510 METHOD SUMMARY. The samples are reacted with a solution of sodium
bisulfite to form addition compounds. The excess bisulfite-ion is
destroyed with iodine solution. By adjusting the pH of the solution,
the addition compounds are decomposed freeing bisulfite-ipn
equivalent to the aldehydes present in the sample. The liberated
bisulfite-ion is then titrated with standard iodine.
9511 SPECIAL COLLECTION APPARATUS FOR SOURCE TESTING. Two Greenburg-Smith
impingers, each containing 100 ml of 1% sodium bisulfite solution,
are connected in series with tygon tubing. These shall be followed
by and coupled to an empty impinger (for meter protection), a dry
meter and a source of suction. During sampling the impingers shall
be partially immersed in the ice bath. (Amended by Resolution 578,
dated May 7, 1969)
9512 COLLECTION REAGENTS; 1% (APPROXIMATE) SODIUM BISULFITE. Dissolve
5 grams of sodium bisulfite (NaHSOs) in 500 ml of water.
-47-
-------
9513 ANALYTICAL REAGENTS
1% STARCH. Weigh 1 gram of soluble starch into a 150-ml
beaker. Add 1 to 2 ml of water and stir to make a paste. In
a separate beaker, heat 100 ml of water to boiling and pour
into the paste while stiring. For accurate work the starch
solution should be made fresh daily.
0.05 N SODIUM THIOSULFATE. Dissolve 12.5 grams of sodium
thiosulfate INajSgtaSHzo) in 1 liter of freshly boiled and
cooled water. Add 0.1 gram of sodium carbonate as a
preservative. This will retard the slow change of liter which
a solution of thiosulfate normally undergoes. Allow the
solution to stand for 24 hours before use. To standardize
the thiosulfate proceed as follows: Dry some potassium
dichromate (primary-standard grade) in an oven., at 110° C
for 1 hour. Cool in a desiccator. Weigh 2.452 grams of
the dry dichromate into a 1-liter volumetric flask, and
dissolve in about 500 ml of water. Make up to volume with
water and mix thoroughly. Pi pet exactly 25 ml of the solution
into a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Pour 25 ml of water into
another Erlenmeyer flask for a blank determination. Add 50
ml of water, 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and
3 grams of solid potassium iodide to each flask. Swirl each
flask once, cover, and place in the dark for 5 minutes.
Dilute the solution in each flask with 200 ml of water and
titrate with the 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate solution until
the brown color is almost discharged. Add 3 ml of starch
indicator and titrate to colorless. Subtract the volume of
sodium thiosulfate required for the blank titration from the
sample titration. The normality of the sodium thiosulfate
solution is:
1.25
Where:
Vt =• milliliters of sodium thiosulfate used for the
titration (blank subtracted).
0.1 N (APPROXIMATE) IODINE. Dissolve 20 to 25 grams of
potassium iodide in as little water as possible. Add 12.7
grams of iodine and stir. When dissolved make up to 1 liter
with water and store in a dark bottle. This reagent need not
be standardized.
0.005 N IODINE. Dilute 50 ml of 0.1 N iodine to 1 liter with
water. Standardize daily with the 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate
-48-
-------
as follows: Pi pet 50 ml of the Iodine solution Into a 250
ml Erlenmeyer flask. Titrate with the 0.05 N sodium
thiosulfate until the brown color 1s almost discharged. Add
3 ml of starch indicator and titrate to colorless. The
normality of the iodine solution is:
0.02 Vt Nt
Where:
V^ ? mis of sodium thiosulfate used for the titration.
Nt ^ exact normality of sodium thiosulfate.
.5 BUFFER SOLUTION. Dissolve 80 grams of anhydrous sodium
carbonate in 500 ml of water. Add 20 ml of glacial acetic
acid slowly to avoid excessive frothing. Dilute to 1 liter.
Adjust the pH to 9.6 (±.0.1) with sodium carbonate or acetic
acid as required using a pH meter.
9514 COLLECTION OF SAMPLE FOR SOURCE TESTING. Connect the sampling train
to a probe and sample at approximately 0.5 to 1.0 cfm. The sampling
time will depend on the concentration of carbonyls in the effluent,
and shall be not less than 15 minutes. (Amended by Resolution 578,
dated May 7, 1969)
9515 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE. P1pet an aliquot from each of the impingers
into separate 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks. The size of the aliquot
will depend on the concentration of carbonyls in the effluent. Add
2 ml of 1% starch solution to each flask. Add 0.1 N iodine dropwise
until a dark blue color is produced. Care should be taken to see
that all of the sulfur dioxide resulting from the decomposition of
bisulfite 1s removed from the vapor space in the flask as it may
cause the end point to fade. This can be conveniently accomplished
by blowing a small jet of air into the flask while swirling the
contents vigorously for several minutes. Decolorize each solution
by adding 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate dropwise. Add 0.005 N iodine
to a faint blue end point. Cool thoroughly in an ice bath and add
50 ml of chilled buffer to each flask. Allow to stand in the ice
bath for 10 to 15 minutes after the buffer addition. Then titrate
the liberated bisulfite in each flask with 0.005 N iodine to the
same faint blue end point present before addition of the buffer.
Keep the sample chilled in order to avoid a fading end point. Make
up a blank using the same volume of NaHS03 as used in the aliquot
taken. Titrate as described for sample, and subtract blank value
from sample value. (Amended by Resolution 578, dated May 7, 1969)

CHAPTER 2
*
12210 SCOPE. The procedure outlines the techniques to be used for
atmospheric sampling of ground level lead concentrations in order
to fulfill requirements of 12111 through 12111.7.
12211 OUTLINE OF PROCEDURE. Lead concentrations in the atmosphere at
ground level shall be determined by directionally controlled
operation of high-volume samplers and continuously operated
meteorological instruments so located with respect to each major
source that the lead concentrations in that area will be properly
measured.
12212 INSTRUMENT SPECIFICATION. High volume samplers shall be fitted with
control device which will cause the sampler to operate only during
those periods when the ambient airflow to the sampler is from a
specified sector, as described in the "Journal of the Air Pollution
Control Association," Volume 19, pages 236-238, 1969. Such instruments
shall be sufficiently sensitive to record wind direction and speed
of wind at wind speeds of two miles per hour.
-57-
-------
12213 INSTRUMENT POSITIONING. The high-volume samplers will oe positioned
in pairs.One pair shall be positioned upwind and downwind of the
emission point along the vector of the most frequent wind direction,
determined on the basis of a wind rose as described in -'Some
Applications of Statistics to Meteorology," by Hans Panofsky and
Glenn Birar, Mineral Industlres Extension Service, Pennsylvania
State University, pages 15-16, 1958. A second pair shall be
positioned upwind and downwind of the emission point along the
vector of the next most frequent wind direction, determined on the
aasis of a wind rose as described above. The primary and secondary
directions shall be determined separately for each of two seasons,
November through April and May through October inclusive. Samplers
shall be positioned in either of the following methods: (1) in two
sets of four, with one set of four for the months of November
through April and one set of four for the months of May through
October; or (2) In one set of four samplers that may be moved on
November first and May first of each year. Samplers shall be
positioned at a distance from the emission point that is as close
as possible to the distance at which maximum ground level concentra-
tions are predicted by diffusion analysis to occur most frequently.
Positioning of samplers shall be determined in consultation with
the Control Officer, but in no case shall the location of a sampler
be closer to the emission point than the edge of the perperty on
which the emission occurs. The meteorological instruments shall
be positioned at a location which is as close as possible to the
emission point and which also provides the instrument with a
reasonably unobstructed exposure to the flow of air. Positioning
of the meteorological instruments shall be determined in consultation
with the Control Officer.
12214 INSTRUMENT OPERATION. At each high-volume sampling location, one
of the samplers shall be operated to sample background concentra-
tions and the other sampler to sample concentrations influenced
by the source. Background concentrations will be assumed to
exist whenever the difference between wind direction and the
direction from sampling site to source is greater than 22.5°.
Concentrations will be assumed to be influenced by the source
whenever said difference in directions is 22.50 or less.
Directional controls shall be designed to minimize sensitivity
to short period wind gusts. In addition to the above provisions,
samplers shall be operated and samples shall be obtained in
accordance with the specifications given in the Air Pollution
Control Association Committee TR-2, Method APM-2.5, published
in the "Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association,"
Volume 17, No. 1, pages 17-25, January 1967. High-volume samplers
shall be operated at least every third day for a period of 24 hours,
beginning at 10:00 PST, and all samplers shall be operated
concurrently. Meteorological instruments shall be operated
continuously.
-58-
-------
12215 ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR LEAD. Lead shall be analyzed on the high-
volume filters by appropriate preparation of the filter substrate
and atomic absorption analysis or any other equivalent analytical
procedure.
12216 ANALYSIS OF DATA. After ten days of sampling have been completed,
arithmetic means of lead concentration shall be computed from all
samples obtained during that period. Two separate means shall
be computed, one for all the background samples and one for all
samples influenced by the source. All means shall be running
means, updated at each subsequent 24-hour sample. When the means
of the concentrations influenced by the source exceeds the mean
of the background concentrations by more than 1.0 ug/m3 over the
same 30-day period, a violation shall be deemed to have occurred
and the limitations of 12110 shall thereafter be met.

141114 Determination of nitrogen oxides.
141115 SCOPE. This method describes a procedure for the determination of
nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases.
141116 OUTLINE OF METHOD. The method is based on the absorption of
nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in alkaline permanganate
bubblers fitted with semi-fine frits. The formed nitrite.and
nitrate ions are determined by first converting the nitrite formed
during the collection to nitrate. The total nitrate is then
reduced to nitrite, which is determined by diazotation and coupling
to form a red dye.
141117 REAGENTS.
1. Absorption Solution: Dissolve 40 gms of potassium
permanganate and 20 gms of sodium hydroxide in disti-led
water and dilut to 1 liter.
2. Oxalic Acid; 8% solution in distilled water.
3. Sulfuric Acid: 0.8 N: dilute 22.4 ml of cone, sulfuric
acid to 1 liter with distilled water.
4. Reducing and Color Reagent; Nitra Ver IV, catalog No 2013,
Hach Chemical Co., Ames, Iowa.
141118 SAMPLE COLLECTION. Sampling train consists of 3 Greenburg-Smith
impingers modified with semi-fine frits of approximately 70
porosity. Each impinger shall contain 150 ml of absorbing
solution. The impingers are connected in series, followed by a
dry meter and a source of suction. During sampling the impingers
-72-
-------
are inmersed 1n an ice bath. Sampling rate shall be between 0.5
and 1.0 liters per minute. Sampling time shall be for 20-40
minutes* depending on the contration of nitrogen oxides in the
sample stream.
141119 SAMPLE ANALYSIS: Measure total liquid volume collected in the
Impingers. Prepare an aliquot for analysis containing 10-100 ugm
of nitrite. The aliquot may require dilution with unreacted
absorption solution or may be used directly. The aliquot should
not exceed 7.0 ml. If preferred, all three impingers may
be combined to form a composite, thereby requiring only a single
analysis.
Transfer aliquot to a graduated 50 ml erlenmeyer flask with
screw cap top. Acidify with 0.8 N sulfuric acid using 1 ml of
acid per ml of aliquot, and let stand for 10 minutes. Heat
sample to 50-60°C on a hot plate. Add oxalic acid solution, using
1 ml per ml of aliquot and add 0.5 ml excess. Let stand, shaking
occasionally, until solution becomes colorless. This may take
up to five minutes. Cool to room temperature and dilute to
30.0 ml mark with distilled water. A reagent blank containing
2.0 ml of absorption solution should be run with each batch of
samples. Add to the samples and reagent blank one Nitra Ver
pillow reagent and shake for 2 minutes on a mechanical shaker or by
hand. Let stand for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 30
minutes, and read in spectrophotometer at 525 mu with 10 mm cells,
setting the reagent blank at 100% T.
141120 PREPARATION OF STANDARD CURVE. Weigh and dissolve 0.220 .gms of
potassium nitrate in 1 liter of distilled water. Dilute 1-5 to
make a working standard of 20 ugm N02/ml.
Prepare a series of standards containing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.0 ml of
the standard solution added to 2.0 ml of the absorbing solution.
Proceed as described under sample analysis to prepare standard
curve.

4102 A reasonable time for compliance with this regulation shall
be allowed by the Control Officer provided that persons
responsible for any emission not in compliance with this
regulation submit reports to the Control Officer at his
request which are acceptable to him, and which give the .
expected time for compliance, the intended method of
compliance, and the progress towards compliance.
4103 Persons responsible for emissions which will not be in compli-
ance with this regulation on January 4, 1968, and for which
emissions a reasonable time for compliance beyond such date
1s required, shall comply with Section 4102 by October 4, 1967.
4104 Time for compliance shall include each of the following:
• Time for engineering, time for procurement, time for
fabrication, and time for Installation and adjustment. The
Control Officer may require such periodic reports on each
phase of progress toward compliance. Failure at any phase
to make reasonable progress toward completion of such Install-
ations as are required for final compliance shall be deemed an
unreasonable delay in compliance.
(2.0) CHAPTER 2 - GENERAL
4201 Nothing in this regulation authorizes or is intended to
authorize any practice or combination of practices intended
or designed to evade or circumvent the basic requirements
of this regulation.
4202 Nothing In this regulation 1s Intended to permit any practice
which is a violation of any statute, ordinance, rule or
regulation.
-92-
-------
4203 This regulation Is not Intended to apply to the quality
requirements for the work room atmosphere necessary to protect
an employee's health from contaminants emitted fay his employer;
nor 1s It concerned with the occupational health factors 1n
an employer-employee relationship, provided that this shall
not exempt any person from meeting the requirements of the
Division of Industrial Safety of the Department of Industrial
Relations of the State of California, published In the General
Industry Safety Orders relative to the maximum allowable
concentration and labeling requirements for such toxic solvents
as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. Measurements of emissions
taken within a building shall not be used to prove a violation
of this regulation except Insofar as they are relevant to
prove the kind, nature, extent, quantity, or degree of air
contaminants which are or may be emitted to the atmosphere
outside of the building or to determine compliance with
Section 3300.
4204 Wherever in this regulation a section makes a requirement for
emissions, and other provisions of this regulation are less
restrictive as to emissions under certain conditions or
operations, proof establishing a prima facie case of violation
of the most restrictive requirement establishes a rebuttable
presumption of a violation of this regulation. The burden of

exception applies shall be upon the person seeking to come
within such less restrictive provision or exception.
4205 When the person who is the owner of a source operation is not the
same as the person who 1s the owner of the emission point discharg-
ing air contaminant which originate in such source operation, the
person who is the owner of the emission point shall be responsible
for complying with this regulation. For the purposes of this
Section 4205, "owner" shall Include owner, lessee, tenant,
licensee, manager or operator, or any of such.
4206 SEVERABILITY - If any provision, clause, sentence, paragraph,
section or part of this regulation or application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall for any reason be adjudged by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or
invalid, such judgment shall not affect or invalidate the

provision to other persons or circumstances, but shall be confined
in its operation to the provision, clause, sentence, paragraph,
section or part thereof directly involved 1n the controversy
1n which such judgment shall have been rendered and ta the person
or circumstance involved, and it is hereby declared to be the
intent of the Board of Directors that this regulation would

CALCULATION METHODS AND GENERAL SAMPLING PROCEDURES
5000 Calculation methods and sampling procedures prescribed in this
division are intended to facilitate the determination of concen-
trations or quantities, or both, of the various kinds of air
contaminants defined in Division 2 of this Regulation. Any
method or procedure which provides for such determination with
accuracy equal to or greater than the prescribed method or
procedure shall be acceptable; provided, that the burden of
demonstrating such accuracy shall rest upon the person proposing
the method or procedure.
(9.0) CHAPTER 1 - CALCULATIONS
5101 Calculations of quantities of emissions of air contaminants
which are reported in ppm concentrations shall be accomplished
by the calculation methods prescribed in this Chapter 1, or
by methods which yield equivalent or more accurate results.
All calculation methods not specifically prescribed in this
Regulation shall conform to accepted engineering practice.
5102 Calculation of area of an opening or containing device shall
be accomplished by determining the area of a projection of
the opening or of the gas passage upon a plane to which the
principal direction of gas flow is perpendicular.
5103 Calculation of quantity of emission from a Type B emission
point shall be the quanity of emission computed by multiplying
the quantity of emission from a test area by the proportion
which the whole area bears to such test area. Such test area
may be taken as the cross sectional area of the Inlet to a
sample probe. The emission from any test area of a Type "B"
emission point shall be deemed to be representative in every
respect of the emissions from the whole area of such Type "B"
emission point. Emissions from the test area may be measured
at the place and by the procedure which result in the highest
measurement of air contaminants. This Section shall not apply
1f other sampling and testing facilities which will disclose
the nature, extent, quantity, and degree of air contaminants
are provided by the person responsible for the emission.
(9.0) CHAPTER 2 - STANDARD GAS SAMPLING PROCEDURES FOR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
IN VENTS AND STACKS
-94-
-------
5201 The following stack sampling procedures shall be adhered to 1n
the determination of organic gas emissions. The controlling
factor 1n all source test procedures shall be that every reason-
able effort will be made to obtain and deliver for anlysis
samples which are truly representative of the organic gas
emissions being determined. Other procedures may be used if
such other procedures result In equivalent or more accurate
determinations of the organic gas emissions being sampled.
5202 Proper adjustment shall be made 1n the sampling procedure to
compensate for significant nonhompgenelty in the gas stream,
so that the sample of the gas stream approaches a representative
sample.
5203 All sampling lines shall be free of significant leakage > and
between the sample gas inlet and the sample collection device,
they shall be as short as 1s compatible with the sampling
situation and composed of materials not significantly affecting
or affected by the constituents of the sample stream. The
sampling lines shall be purged thoroughly with the gas to be
sampled prior to the taking of the sample.
5204 Where liquid filled impingers are used for sampling, two or
more such impingers shall be connected in series followed by
a dropout container having a stem thermometer Inside. These
devices shall be partially immersed in an Ice-water bath. unless
noted otherwise. The Impingers shall be equivalent to the
Greenburg-Smith impinger in use and result. Sampling shall
be at 0.5 cfm and for at least 15 minutes.
5205 Where adsorption devices are used for sample collection, at
least three shall be used, and the devices shall be connected
in series, and each device shall contain approximately 20 gms.
of 10-20 mesh silica gel which has been dried at approximately
230°F for two hours. The adsnrption devices shall be
approximately 1" Inside diameter x 5" length glass tubing.
Both ends of the silica gel packing shall be plugged with glass
wool fibers to prevent adsorbent losses. The samplers shall be
cooled so as to be maintained at ambient air temperature or
lower. Sampling shall be at 0.5 cfm or less, depending on the
concentration of organic materials, and for at least 30 minutest
The adsorption devices shall be preceded by a condensing device
until the third adsorption device becomes warm, whichever might
be the shortest time. ' '•-,..•••

-------
to remove excess water and to cool the sampled effluent to
65*F or lower. The condensed water shall be analyzed for
organic compound content and the quantity added to the amount
found in the adsorption devices.
5206 Where an evacuated vessel is used for sample collection, the
vessel shall be of stainless steel and 8 to 34 liter capacity.
The sampler shall have a suitable vacuum-gage indicator.
Sampling shall be continuous for at least 15 minutes. The
sampling rate over the time interval shall be adjusted to be
proportional to the effluent flow rate so as to obtain a
representative sample.
5207 Evacuated tanks used for sampling shall be handled in such a
manner that significant leaks can be detected, and in the event
of such a leak, the tank shall not be used.
5208 All equipment used for sampling shall be adequately cleaned
prior to use.
5209 Adequate precautions will be taken to avoid loss and contamination
of the sample.
5210 All sampling lines shall be checked for the presence of conden-
sates. If condensation has occurred, adjustments in procedure
shall be made either to prevent its occurrence or to compensate
for the condensed material in the sample.
5211 Where impingers or other continuous flow sampling devices are
used, a gas measuring device placed in series with and down-
. stream of the samplers shall be used to determine the volume
of gas sampled. Pressure and temperature indicators shall be
installed at appropriate points to indicate sample gas conditions.
5212 Sufficient test data and notes shall be recorded at the time of
the test by the personnel conducting the sampling to permit
the determination of emission of air contaminants and to permit
evaluation of results at a later date. Data from all portions of
the sampling devices shall be included in the report.
5213 Where samples are held more than 24 hours before analysis,
evidence must be presented to show that any deterioration of the
collected samples prior to analysis would not be significant.
5214 Any procedure or condition prescribed by any other part of
this Regulation shall be adhered to in any applicable sampling
test. At least two tests for a particular organic gas emission
shall be made. More shall be made if necessary to produce a re-
presentative sample.

5215 Tests for determining compliance with Section 310V shall be
based on continuous sampling for not less than 30 consecutive
minutes or 90% of the time of actual source operation, which-
ever 1s less.
(9.0) CHAPTER 3 - SAMPLING DEVICES FOR SPECIFIC ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS
5301 For total carbonyls, use at least two 1mp1ngers filled with 100
ml. of 1% sodium bisulfite solution in each.
5302 For hydrocarbons, use stainless steel tanks. The sampled
effluent shall be dried through a cartridge containing anhy-
drous calcium sulfate.
5303 For oleflns and substituted aromatic compounds, use at least
three cartridges, each packed with approximately 20 gms. of
silica gel of 10-20 mesh. The cartridges are preceded by a
condensing device to remove excess water and to cool the sampled
gas stream to 65°F or lower.
5304 For combustible organic gas emissions, containing no product
of combustion, use a portable gas vapor detector described In
Chapter 6, Division 6, to determine the relative organic gas
concentrations. If such detector Indicates greater than 50
ppm as hexane, other prescribed tests may be made accordingly.
For combustible organic gas emissions containing products of
combustion, use a flame 1on1zat1on detector described in Chapter
2, Division 6.
5305 For organic gas emissions for which no sampling procedure 1s
• prescribed, a sampling procedure shall be used which will collect
such compounds in the effluent.
(9.0) DIVISION 6
ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
6000 Analytical procedures prescribed 1n this division are Intended
to facilitate the determination of concentrations or quantities,
or both, of the various kinds of air contaminants defined in
Division 2 of this Regulation. Any procedure which provides
for such determination with accuracy equal to or greater than
the prescribed procedure shall be acceptable; provided, that the
burden of demonstrating such accuracy shall rest upon the person
proposing the procedure.
(2.0) CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL OUTLINE
6100 Organic compounds which come under this Regulation include
-97-
-------
olefins, substituted aromatics and aldehydes. Since no single
procedure will measure the concentration of all such compounds
which may be present 1n an effluent, a variety of general
analytical'procedures are described in this Regulation. For
such classes of organic compounds which cannot be determined
by the procedures described, suitable alternate procedures
described 1n the chemical literature shall be used. For each
of the procedures described, alternate procedures may be used,
provided that such procedures yield equivalent or more accurate
results to the procedure described.
6100.1 Total concentration of reactive organic gases 1n an effluent
shall be calculated by adding the concentrations of the various
classes of reactive organic gases which have been found in the
effluent. Depending on the nature of the reactive organic
gases 1n the effluent, it 1s necessary to add the concentrations
of olefins, substituted aromatics and aldehydes to arrive at
the total concentration of reactive organic gases in the
effluent.
(9.0) CHAPTER 2 - DETERMINATION OF TOTAL ORGANIC GASES IN SAMPLES
TAKEN FROM EFFLUENTS.
6201 SCOPE - This procedure describes a method for determining total
organic gas concentration in an effluent or 1n samples which
can be collected by filling evacuated containers from an effluent
or from a storage tank.
6202 OUTLINE OF METHOD - Total organic gas concentration is measured
by a Flame lonlzation Detector. Results are reported as total
. "carbon," using methane as a standard. Methane is measured
separately by gas chromatography and is subtracted from the
total organic gas concentration as measured by the Flame lonl-
zation Detector.
6203 DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS - Flame ionization detectors make use
of the principle that when an organic gas 1s Introduced into
a hydrogen flame, electron concentrations are formed and can
be measured. Inorganic gases such as H?, N2> C02> CO and ^0
vapor do not interfere significantly. The response of such an
instrument is approximately proportional to the number of
carbon atoms in the compound being burned; that is, hexane
will give approximately six times the response of methane.
The instrument can thus be considered as a "carbon" counter.
(9.0)(50.4) CHAPTER 3 - DETERMINATION OF OLEFINS AND SUBSTITUTED AROMATICS
IN EFFLUENTS.
-98-
-------
6301 SCOPE - This procedure describes a method for the determination
of olefins and substituted aromatics 1n an effluent.
6302 OUTLINE OF METHOD - The olefins and substituted aroma'tics
are adsorbed on silica gel. They are removed from the silica
gel by an appropriate organic solvent and determined by gas
chromatography.
6303 DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS - Any commercially available gas
chromatograph with a detector system capable of responding to
olefins and substituted aromatics may be used. Sensititvity of
the detectorshall be such that a minimum response of 0.01
mv on a 1 mv recorder (10 inch scale) 1s given by one microgram
of toluene after the toluene has passed through the analytical
column of the Instrument. Choice of anlytical columns, flow
rate of carrier gas, temperature and other operating parameters
shall be such as to enable the separation and detection of
mixtures of olefins and substituted aromatics which have been
adsorbed on silica gel, and then eluted.
6304 SAMPLING PROCEDURE - Collection of samples shall follow the
procedures specified in Diviison 5.
6305 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE - The contents of each silica gel cartridge
shall be emptied into separate 125 ml flasks. The gel is
covered with the minimum volume of solvent required to remove
the adsorbed compounds. After shaking on a mechanical shaker
for one hour, a suitable aliquot (1-10 microliters) is injected
Into the chromatograph for analysis.
6306 • CALIBRATION OF CHROMATOGRAPH - Known concentrations of olefins
and substituted aromatics dissolved in the same solvent as
used in the Analytical procedure shall be subjected to the proced-
ure described in this Chapter. The peak height shall be recorded
for each separated component and a graph relating concentration
and peak height for each component constructed.
6307 CALCULATIONS - Total quantity of olefins plus substituted
aromatics is the sum of individual olefins and substituted
aromatics found. Quantity of individual olefins plus substituted
aromatics is calculated from the observed peaks as described
in Paragraph 6306. Final calculation of total olefins plus
substituted aromatics shall include volume of gas sampled,
volume of solvent used to elute compounds from silica gel and
volume of solution injected into the gas chromatograph in
accordance with standard practice.

90) (50 4) CHAPTER 4 - PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE PERCENT OLEFINS AND. SUBSTITUTED
AROMATICS IN ORGANIC LIQUIDS CONTAINING NO OXYGENATED ORGANIC
COMPOUNDS
6401 SCOPE - This procedure describes a method for the determination
of olefins and substituted aromatics in organic liquids containing
no oxygenated organi c compounds .
6402 OUTLINE OF METHOD - Olefins and substituted aromatics are
reacted with a sulfonation mixture. The procedure is a modi-
fication of ASTM procedure D1019-62 "Olefins Plus Aromatic
Hydrocarbons in Petroleum Distillates." Benzene, if present,
is measured separately and subtracted from the total
6403 REAGENTS - Sulfonation acid. Prepare as described in ASTM
D1019-62.
6404 PROCEDURE - Seal a 6 mm O.D x 4 mm I.D. x 9" length of glass
tubing (uniform bore) at one end. Accurately deliver 500 micro-
liters of liquid to be tested into the tube. Immerse the
tube in an ice-salt mixture and carefully add 1.0 ml of sulf-
onation add. While still immersed in the cold bath, seal
the other end of the tube in an oxygen -gas flame. Remove
the tube from the ice bath and shake to mix the solvent and
sulfonation acid. Invert the tube and shake again; repeat this
procedure six times. Centrifuge at 1,000 rpm for 3 minutes.
Read the length of residual solvent with an accurate caliper.
Repeat the mixing and centrifugation and read again. Repeat
until readings are the same.
6405 . CALCUALTION
(a) Calculate the length equivalent to 500 j*l of unreacted
solvent as follows:
L - 0.500 x 4 (where D = diameter of tube in
centimeters)
(b) Calculate the percent paraffin from the length of
residual solvent as follows:
% paraffin * Length of residual solvent x 1QQ
Length calculated for 500 *l

(c) Calculate the percent olefins plus aromatlcs as
follows:
% olefins plus aromatics *. (100 -- % paraffin)
(9.0)(50.4) CHAPTER 5 - DETERMINATION OF TOTAL CARBONYLS
6501 SCOPE - This procedure describes a method for the determination
of total carbonyls in effluents. Ketones, if present, are
measured separately, and subtracted from the total carbonyls.
6502 METHOD SUMMARY - The samples are reacted with a solution of
sodium bisulfite to form addition compounds. The excess bi-
sulfite-ion is destroyed with iodine solution. By adjusting
the pH of the solution, the addition compounds are decomposed,
freeing bisulfite-ion equivalent to the carbonyls present
1n the sample. The liberated bisulfite-ion is then titrated
with standard iodine.
6503 SPECIAL COLLECTION APPARATUS FOR SOURCE TESTING -Two Greenburg-
Smith Impingers, each containing 100 ml of 1% solium bisulfite
solution, are connected in a series with tygon tubing. These
shall be followed by and coupled to an empty impinger (for
meter protection), a dry meter and a source of suction. During
sampling, the Impingers shall be partially immersed in an ice
bath.
6504 COLLECTION REAGENTS: 1% SODIUM BISULFITE - Dissolve 5 grams
of sodium bisulfite (NaHSOs) in 500 ml of water.
6505 ANALYTICAL REAGENTS.
6505.1 U STARCH - Weigh 1 gram of soluble starch into a 150-ml
beaker. Add 1 to 2 ml of water and stir to make a paste. In
a separate beaker, heat 100 ml of water to boiling and pour
into the paste while stirring. (The starch solution should
be made fresh daily.)
6505.2 0.05 N SODIUM THIOSULFATE - Dissolve 12.5 grams of sodium
thiosulfate (Na2S2035H20) in 1 liter of freshly boiled and
cooled water. Add 0.1 gram of sodium carbonate as a preservative.
(This will retard the slow change of titer which a solution of
thiosulfate normally undergoes.) Allow the solution to stand
for 24 hours before use. To standardize the thiosulfate proceed
as follows:
Dry some potassium dichromate (primary-standard grade) in an
oven at 110°C for 1 hour. Cool in a desiccator. Weigh 2.452
grams of the dry dichromate into a 1-liter volumetric jflask,
-101-
-------
and dissolve In about 500 ml of water. Make up to volume with
water and mix thoroughly. P1pet exactly 25.00 ml of the
solution Into a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Pour 25 ml of water
Into another Erlenmeyer flask for a blank determination. Add
50 ml of water, 10 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and 3
grams of solid potassium Iodide to each flask. Swirl each
flask once, cover, and place in the dark for 5 minutes. Dilute
the solution 1n each flask with 200 ml of water and titrate
with the 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate solution until the brown
color 1s almost discharged. Add 3 ml of starch indicator and
titrate to a colorless end point. Subtract the volume of
sodium thiosulfate required for the blank titration from the
sample titration. The normality of the sodium thiosulfate
solution is:
1.25
Where:
V»- milliliters of sodium thiosulfate used for the titration
(blank subtracted).
6505.3 0.1 N IODINE - Dissolve 20 to 25 grams of potassium iodide in
as little water as possible. Add 12.7 grams of Iodine and
stir. When dissolved make up to 1 liter with water and store
1n a dark bottle. This reagent need not be standardized.
6505.4 0.0005 N IODINE - Dilute 50 ml of 0.1 N Iodine to 1 liter
with water. Standardize daily with the 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate
as follows: Pipet 50 ml of the Iodine solution into a 250
ml Erlenmeyer flask. Titrate with the 0.05 N sodium thiosulfate
until the brown color is almost discharged. Add 3 ml of starch
indicator and titrate to a colorless end point. The normality of
the Iodine solution is
0.02 VtNt
Where:
Vt= mis of sodium thiosulfate used for the titration
N^= exact normality of sodium thiosulfate.
6505.5 BUFFER SOLUTION - Dissolve 80 grams of anhydrous sodium carbonate
in 500 ml of water. Add 20 ml of glacial acetic acid slowly
to avoid excessive frothing. Dilute to 1 liter. Adjust the
pH to 9.6 (±0.1) with sodium carbonate or acetic acid as required
using a pH meter.
-102-
-------
6506 COLLECTION OF THE SAMPLE FOR SOURCE TESTING - Connect the sampling
train to a probe and sample at approximately 0.5 to 1.0 cfm.
The sampling time will depend on the concentration of carbonyls
in the effluent, and shall not be less than 15 minutes.
6507 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE - P1pet an aliquot from each of the Impingers
Into separate 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks. The size of the aliquot
will depend on the concentration of carbonyls 1n the effluent.
Add 2 ml of 1% starch solution to each flask. Add 0.1 N iodine
dropwlse until a dark blue color is produced. Care should
be taken to see that all of the sulfur dioxide resulting from the
decomposition of bisulfite 1s removed from the vapor space 1n the
flask as it may cause the end point to fade. This can be
conveniently accomplished by blowing a small jet of air into the
flask while swirling the contents vigorously for several minutes.
Decolorize each solution by adding 0.05 N sodium thlosulfate
dropwlse. Add 0.005 N Iodine to a faint blue end point. Cool
thoroughly in an ice bath and add 50 ml of chilled buffer
to each flask. Allow to stand in the Ice bath for 10 to 15
minutes after the buffer addition. Then titrate the liberated
bisulfite in each flask with 0.005 N iodine to the same faint
blue end point present before addition of the buffer. Keep the
sample chilled in order to avoid a fading end point. Make up
a blank using the same volume of NaHSO^ as used in the aliquot
taken. Titrate as described for sample, and subtract blank
value for sample value.

ESTIMATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF ORGANIC GASES IN EFFLUENTS
6601 SCOPE - A portable combustible gas indicator may be used to
determine concentrations of organic gases in effluents.
Indication of concentration of organic gases in excess of 50 ppm
as hexane establishes a rebuttable presumption of a violation of
this Regulation. The combustible gas indicator shall not be
used to test effluents from inceneration or combustion
operations.
6602 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE COMBUSTIBLE GAS INDICATOR - The
Combustible Gas Indicator shall operate on the principle that
-103-
-------
electrical resistance in a given metal wire is a function of
the temperature of the wire. The effluent to be tested is
drawn across a heated filament. This filament forms one leg
of a wheatstone bridge which has been previously balanced in
an atmosphere containing no combustible material. The combustion
of the sample in the anlyzihg chanber raises the temperature
and, therefore, the electrical resistance of the filament.
The resultant imbalance in the wheatstone bridge circuit causes
a current to flow. The current is measured and is a function
of the concentration of combustible material present.
6602.1 SENSITIVITY - The Combustible Gas Indicator shall be capable of
detecting 50 ppm of hexane with a response equal to or greater
than 5% of full scale.
6602.2 POWER SOURCE - The Combustible Gas Indicator shall be equipped
with a power source, and a power source condition indicator.
6602.3 DRIFT - The zero adjustment shall be sufficiently stable as to
be drift-free during the course of a reading.
6602.4 FILTER - The Combustible Gas Indicator shall have a filter which
effectively removes water vapor, but does not remove organic
gases.
6602.5 ASPIRATOR - The Combustible Gas Indicator shall be equipped with
a suction device to draw samples of effluent through the
filament chamber continuously while sampling is being performed.
6603 CALIBRATION - The Combustible Gas Indicator shall be calibrated
• by sampling inert air streams containing known concentrations
of hexane, and a calibration chart constructed relating con-
centration and meter reading.
6604 USE OF THE COMBUSTIBLE GAS INDICATOR INSTRUMENT - The
Combustible Gas Indicator shall be connected to or placed
in the effluent. The sampling tube shall be constructed of
inert material. The instrument shall be operated under standard
conditions, and readings shall be taken until needle deflection
stabilizes and remains constant for 30 seconds. If the needle
deflection does not stabilize, the indicator shall be read
at maximum deflection. This reading shall be used to calculate
the concentration of organic gases in the effluent.
6605 CALCULATION - The reading obtained in the gas stream shall be
converted to ppm hexane by reference to the calibration graph.
-104-
-------
6606 LIMITATION - A reading of 50 ppra hexane or less shall be construed
to Indicate that the unit being tested 1s 1n compliance
with this Regulation.

arately and subtracted from the total.
6702 OUTLINE OF METHOD - A sample of head space is reacted with a
sulfonation acid 1n a standard Orsat type apparatus. The
diminution of volume is proportional to the olefin plus sub-
stituted aromatic content of the sample.
6703 REAGENTS - Same as 6403.
6704 APPARATUS - Any Orsat type apparatus used for the analysis
of combustion gases may be used.
6705 PROCEDURE - The standard Orsat apparatus 1s modified by placing
a tube (2" x fc") containing Mallcosorb (MalHnckrodt) between
the measuring unit and the absorption chamber to remove acidic
gases formed during the sulfonation. The liquid sample is
maintained at 100°F and care shall be taken that the head
space gases shall be in equilibrium with the liquid phase.
(In practice, the head space sample 1s taken from the apparatus
used to determine Reid vapor pressure.)
The absorption chamber is filled with sulfonation acid. A
50-100 ml. sample of head space vapor is diluted to 100 ml.'
with air, and 1s transferred to the gas measuring column by
means of a syringe. The gas is passed twice through the
sulfonation acid and the residual volume measured by the standard
Orsat techniques.

equivalent. (60.112(aj(2))
MONITORING
The owner or operator of any storage vessel to which this rule applies
shall for each such storage vessel maintain a file of each type of
petroleum liquid stored, of the typical Reid vapor pressure of each type
of petroleum liquid stored, and of the dates of storages. Dates on
which the storage vessel is empty shall be shown. (60.113(a))
The owner or operator of any storage vessel to which this rule applies
shall for each such storage vessel determine and record the average
monthly storage temperature and true vapor pressure of the petroleum
liquid stored at such temperature if:
1. The petroleum liquid has a true vapor pressure, as stored,
greater than 26 mm Hg (0.5 psia) but less than 78 mm Hg
(1.5 psia) and is stored in a storage vessel other than
one equipped with a floating roof, a vapor recovery system
or their equivalents; or
2. The petroleum liquid has a true vapor pressure, as stored,
greater than 470 mm Hg (9.1 psia) and is stored in a storage
vessel other than one equipped with a vapor recovery system
or its equivalent. (60.113(b))
The average monthly storage temperature is an arithmetic average calcul-
ated for each calendar month, or portion thereof if storage is for
less than a month, from bulk liquid storage temperatures determined
at least once every 7 days. (60.113(c))
The true vapor pressure shall be determined by the procedures in
API Bulletin 2517. This procedure is dependent upon determination of
the storage temperature and the Reid vapor pressure, which requires
sampling of the petroleum liquids in the storage vessels. Unless the
control officer requires in specific cases that the stored petroleum
liquid be sampled, the true vapor pressure may be determined by using
the average monthly storage temperature and the typical Reid vapor
pressure. For those liquids for which certified specifications limiting
the Reid vapor pressure exist, that Reid vapor pressure may be used.
For other liquids, supporting anlytical data must be made available on
request to the control officer when typical Reid vapor pressure is used.

2. The control officer shall be notified at least 30 days prior
to an emission test so that he may at his option observe the
test. (61.33(b)) At his option, the control officer may
conduct the required test.
3. Samples shall be taken over such a period or periods as are
necessary to accurately determine the maximum emissions which
will occur in any 24-hour period. Where emissions depend
upon the relative frequency of operation of different types
of processes, operating hours, operating capacities, or other
factors, the calculation of maximum 24-hour period emissions
will be based on that combination of factors which is likely
to occur during the subject period and which result in the
maximum emissions. No changes in the operation shall be made
which would potentially Increase emissions above that determined
by the most recent source test, until a new emission level
has been estimated by calculation and the results reported to
the control officer. (61.33(c))
4. All samples shall be analyzed and beryllium emissions shall be
determined within 30 days after the source test. All determin-
ations shall be reported to the control officer by a registered
letter dispatched before the close of the next business day
following such determination. (61.33(d))

. determine total emissions shall be retained at the source
and made available, for Inspection by the control officer,
for a minimum of 2 years. (61.44(c);
4. The control officer shall be notified at least 30 days prior to
an emission test, so that.he may at his option observe the
test. (61.44(d)) At his option, the control officer may conduct
the required test.
