Inspection Checklists

1.0 HOW TO USE THE CHECKLISTS

The checklists in this inspection tool are flexible, and suitable for several different approaches to
examining a facility. These checklists may be used singularly or in combination at a facility where
the user is seeking compliance information on a specific emission point or points, or the user may
proceed through the entire group of checklists, section by section, if the approach to examining the
facility begins with the initial question of whether there is a chemical manufacturing process unit
(CMPU) at the facility that must comply with the HON.

Organization of the Checklists - If the users choose to proceed through the checklists
sequentially, they may begin by determining which CMPU's are subject to the HON, which can be
done with the checklists in Section 3. Once the applicability is established (either through the
checklists in Section 3 or by prior information), the user can move on to the checklists in Section 4
to determine which emission points are subject to the HON. This information allows the user to
then move to the sections on emission points that are located at the facility. These sections are for
process vents, transfer operations, storage vessels, and wastewater, and the checklists for each
are found in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. These sections contain the compliance checklists
for the provisions that are unique to the specific emission point. These checklists may also refer to
checklists in Sections 9 and 10 which contain provisions that apply to multiple types of emission
points (process vents, transfer operations, storage vessels, and wastewater). Section 9 has
checklists for control equipment requiring leak detection; it covers the provisions on bypass lines
and leak inspection requirements for equipment like closed-vent systems. Section 10 has
compliance checklists for each of the control and recovery equipment listed in the rule. Thus, if a
transfer rack is controlled using a flare, Section 6 would give the general transfer rack compliance
checklists, and refer to Section 9 for the closed-vent system checklist and Section 10 for the
checklist on flares.

Flexible Use - However, the
checklists may also be used in a
flexible manner to examine only
certain types of emission points at
a facility or specific types of
control devices. For example, the
user may need to know only about
the compliance status of process
vents at a facility. In this case the
user would be able to visit the
facility and conduct an inspection
by taking only the checklists in
Section 5 for process vents,

Checklist 9-1, (the only checklist
in Section 9 that applies to
process vents), and Section 10 for
the control and recovery devices

used to control process vents. If the inspector knew the specific control and/or recovery devices
being used, the inspector could just take those specific checklists. Also, Section 11 includes a
series of checklists for specific types of reports. An inspector may want to inspect the most recent
periodic report to make sure all the components are included. Section 11 contains a checklist for
periodic report.

Inspection Checklists

Another instance in which the user benefits from the flexibility of these checklists occurs when a
specific control device or recovery device must be examined for compliance. For example, if the
user has to examine only one device, such as a carbon adsorber at a Group 1 process vent
emission point, it is only necessary to take Checklist 10-6 from Section 10.

The utility of these checklists resides in their capacity to function at a variety of inspection sites and
to meet the needs of various approaches to inspecting for compliance at the site. Hence, the
inspector may have little or no information about a facility and benefit from using all of the
checklists together in order to determine compliance, or specific emission points and control
devices may need inspection, so that the user can selectively apply those checklists from the
sections as necessary.

These checklists provide the flexibility and ease of use so that the inspector may use them at
facilities as efficiently as possible, and refer only to the necessary sections to select the checklists
which pertain to that facilitiy's emission point or points for their particular inspection needs.

Meaning of Responses - In general a "yes" response in the checklist indicates compliance and a
"no" response indicates noncompliance. Exceptions to this are in the roadmap tables, tables that do
not apply to the specific situation, and questions that do not apply to the situation being inspected.
The roadmap tables are used to inform the inspector which checklists apply to the situation they
are inspecting, therefore a "no" response would indicate that the compliance option does not apply
and not that there is a compliance issue. Some tables do not apply to the situation being inspected.
For instance, if an inspector is inspecting Group 1 process vents, Table 5-3, Group 2 Process
Vents, would not apply and should not be used. There are also specific questions in the checklists
that might not apply to the situation being inspected. For example, if an inspector is inspecting
Group 2 process vents and is using Table 5-3 to perform the inspection, item 4 may or may not be
applicable. Item 4 only applies when a process change is made that changes the group status. If
the facility has not made a change that affects the group status of the process vent being
inspected, this item would not apply and should not be marked "yes" or "no". In all cases where an
item in a checklist may not apply it is obvious in the language that the item is conditional. These
items should be skipped when they do not apply.

Inspection Checklists

2.0 PREPARING THE INSPECTION

Compliance with the HON can be determined by review of records and reports, review of
performance tests, and visual inspections using the methods and procedures specified in the rule.
As required by the rule, testing, monitoring, and inspections are to be carried out by the owner or
operator, with records kept for 5 years. Therefore, the local, state, or federal inspector can
determine compliance by a review of plant records, along with spot inspections to verify the
operation, performance, and condition of the control equipment.

Prior to conducting the inspection,
the inspector should become
familiar with the regulation,
search the EPA, state, or local
agency files for information on the
facility, and review all relevant
information. The HON requires
that the operating permit
application submitted by each
facility that is subject to the
regulation specify which emission points are subject to the HON and what type of control is applied
to each emission point. The title V permit application is a good place to start the inspection. Much of
the material concerning applicability will be addressed in the application. The Title V permit
application can be reviewed along with the applicability requirements of the HON in order to identify
any applicability concerns or questions the inspector may have. (The applicability checklists are
located in Sections 3 and 4 with group status checklists in the emission point-specific Sections 5, 6
and 7.) In reviewing the determination of group status, it is suggested that the inspector focus on
the determination of Group 2 status, because the Group 1 emission points will be controlled (unless
the facility is emissions averaging, which is not covered in this document).

The inspector can also use the Title V permit application to develop a list of control devices to
inspect. The most recent periodic report should provide information on the facility's compliance
status. A review of files will help the inspector become familiar with the operation of the facility and
the most recent compliance history. The compliance history and prior inspections will help the
inspector prioritize areas of concern for the upcoming inspection. For example, if a leaking tank
roof was identified in the last inspection, the inspector would want to check the facility records to
verify that the tank roof was repaired in the allotted amount of time. The inspector may also want to
visually inspect the tank to verify that it has been repaired.

The inspector may also need to gather safety and emissions detection equipment prior to the
inspection. Some facilities will require inspectors to wear hard hats, safety glasses, and steel-toed
shoes during their visual inspection. If the inspector will need to do any climbing to inspect
equipment such as a tank roof, additional safety equipment may be necessary. If an inspector
feels that it is necessary to enter a storage vessel, please be aware of the requirements under EPA
Order 1440.2, and the safety information in Guidance on Confined Spacy Entry in NESHAP
Inspections of Benzene Storage Vessels (EPA 455/R-92-003, September 1997). The inspector will
also need a portable VOC analyzer to conduct Method 21 tests, and uniform probes for measuring
gaps in storage tank roofs.

Because the review of records is the primary means of determining compliance, the local, state, or
federal inspector should notify the facility management prior to inspection. This gives the facility

personnel enough time to gather relevant records and have them organized and available for
review. The facility should also provide a map and/or process flow diagrams to the inspector.

The inspection consists of a review of records and reports kept by the plant, and a visual inspection
of plant equipment. Volume II provides inspection checklists for process vents, transfer operations,
storage vessels, and wastewater. The checklists will enable the inspector to systematically review
the plant records and reports. Each checklist provides a series of yes and no statements. A "yes"
response to all of the statements indicates compliance with the standard. However, there are a few
statements in the checklists that can be checked "no", and the facility would still be in compliance.
These exceptions are noted in the checklists. The inspector should copy the applicable checklists
in Volume II prior to each inspection.

Inspectors should conduct visual inspections to verify that the records and reports provided by the
facility are accurate. Visual inspections will also enable the inspector to assess the condition of the
control equipment. When making visual inspections, the checklists, along with plant drawings and
specifications, should be used. Notations should be made on the checklists if there are
discrepancies between the plant records and reports and the visual inspections. Control equipment
should be checked for obvious leaks and lack of maintenance.

3.0 APPLICABILITY OF THE HON

Section 3 takes the inspector through the determination of what chemical manufacturing process
units (CMPU's) are subject to the HON. Tables 3-1 and 3-2 establish which CMPU's are subject to
the HON. Table 3-1 refers the inspector to Table 3-2 when a facility has a flexible operation unit.
Table 3-2 steps through the determination of the primary product and whether the flexible operation
unit is subject to HON. Table 3-3 is used to determine the primary product of other CMPU's. The
primary product of a CMPU is key in determining whether the CMPU is subject to the HON.

Table 3-4 is a checklist to determine if new or existing requirements pertain to the HON source.
Table 3-4 is used once it is determined, using Table 3-1 and/or 3-2, that the CMPU is subject to the
HON. Table 3-5 provides a place for the inspector to take notes and identify the CMPU's subject to
the HON.

4.0 Emission Point Applicability and Assignment of Emission
Points to the Chemical Manufacturing Process Units

This section is used after the
applicability of the HON to each
CMPU has been established by
using the previous section,

Section 3. In this section, the
inspector can determine which
emission points associated with
each HON CMPU are subject to
the HON. There are a series of
checklists for each type of
emission point: Tables 4-1
through 4-3 for process vents,

Tables 4-4 through 4-6 for
transfer operations, Tables 4-7
through 4-9 for storage vessels,
and Tables 4-10 and 4-12 for
wastewater streams. In each
series of checklists, the tables
walkthrough the applicability of the HON to the emission points, stepping through each exemption
and cutoff that applies and the assignment procedures for assigning distillation units, storage
vessels, and transfer operations to CMPU's. Once the assignment procedures are used to
determine if an emission point is assigned to a CMPU subject to the HON, it can be concluded that
the emission point is subject to the HON as long as all of the applicability statements are true. In
each checklist series a table is provided for the inspector to make notes and identify the emission
points subject to the HON. The wastewater checklist series also contains a checklist to determine if
equipment handling process water is subject to the provisions of §63.149 of Subpart G.

the inspection was not planned, then the report was
submitted at least 7 days in advance of refilling the vessel
and included an explanation of why the inspection was
unplanned.

VISUAL INSPECTIONS

Note: The inspector should be advised of the hazards of inspecting an internal floating roofvessel that
contains a liquid hazardous air pollutant (HAP). An inspector may perform an external visual
inspection of a storage vessel at any time (i.e., the vessel does not need to be taken out of
service). However, the inspector will need to have proper respiratory protection before opening
the roof hatch to visually inspect, from the fixed roof, the floating deck and seal. An inspector may
perform the more thorough internal inspection only when the vessel has been taken out of service
(i.e., emptied, degassed and cleaned). Unless a vessel is taken out of service more frequently
than is required by the HON, this internal inspection can only take place once every ten years,
during those 30 days after which the State Agency has received notice that the vessel has been
emptied and degassed and will subsequently be refilled. The inspector should never enter a
storage vessel to inspect the IFR without first consulting documents that address the safety issues
to consider while entering a confined space and while inspecting an IFR that contains HAP - EPA
Order 1440.2 and the EPA document Guidance on Confined Space Entry in NESHAP Inspections
of Benzene Storage Vessels (EPA-455/R-92-003, September 1992).

1. External Visual Inspection

(a)	The IFR is resting on the liquid surface of the stored	YG	NG
material, unless the IFR is resting on the leg supports

because the vessel has just been emptied and degassed
or the vessel is partially or completely emptied before
being subsequently refilled or degassed.

(b)	The IFR is in good condition (i.e., free of defects such as	YG	NG
corrosion and pools of standing liquid).

(c)	Inspect the seal (i.e., if a single-seal system is used,
inspect the single seal, and if a double-seal system is used,
inspect both the primary and secondary seals).

the inspection was not planned, then the report was
submitted at least 7 days in advance of refilling the vessel
and included an explanation of why the inspection was
unplanned.

VISUAL INSPECTIONS

Note: The inspector should be advised of the hazards of inspecting an external floating roof vessel

converted to an internal floating roof vessel that contains a liquid hazardous air pollutant (HAP).
An inspector may perform an external visual inspection of a storage vessel at any time (i.e., the
vessel does not need to be taken out of service). However, the inspector will need to have proper
respiratory protection before opening the roof hatch to visually inspect, from the fixed roof, the
floating deck and seal. An inspector may perform the more thorough internal inspection only
when the vessel has been taken out of service (i.e., emptied, degassed and cleaned). Unless a
vessel is taken out of service more frequently than is required by the HON, this internal inspection
can only take place once every ten years, during those 30 days after which the State Agency has
received notice that the vessel has been emptied and degassed and will subsequently be refilled.
The inspector should never enter a storage vessel to inspect the floating roof without first
consulting documents that address the safety issues to consider while entering a confined space
and while inspecting an external floating roof vessel converted to an internal floating roof vessel
that contains HAP- EPA Order 1440.2 and the EPA document Guidance on Confined Space
Entry in NESHAP Inspections of Benzene Storage Vessels (EPA-450/R-92-003, September
1992).

1. External Visual Inspection

(a)	The floating roof is resting on the liquid surface of the	YG	NG
stored material, unless the floating roof is resting on the leg

supports because the vessel has just been emptied and
degassed or the vessel is partially or completely emptied
before being subsequently refilled or degassed.

(b)	The floating roof is in good condition (i.e., free of defects	YG	NG
such as corrosion and pools of standing liquid).

primary and secondary seal), each of which forms a
continuous closure that completely covers the annular
space between the wall of the storage vessel and the edge
of the floating deck.3

(d)	Inspect the seal (i.e., if a single-seal system is used,

TABLE 10-6. COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST FOR A CARBON ADSORBER USED AS A
CONTROL OR RECOVERY DEVICE

a Owners or operators are not required to conduct performance tests on control devices used to control
emissions from waste management units, wastewater treatment units, or from transfer racks that
transfer less than 11.8 million liters per year. For these emission points, a design evaluation
documenting that the control device being used achieves the required control efficiency as specified
in §63.139(d)(2) for wastewater or §63.128(h) for transfer racks is required to be submitted as part of
the NCS. Owners and operators of process vents routed to a control device do not have the option of
submitting a design evaluation and must perform a performance test.

b The 20 ppmv compliance option is not available for owners or operators using carbon adsorbers on
emissions from surface impoundments or containers.

c The number of excused excursions is as follows:

For the first semi-annual period after the NCS is due - 6 excursions;

For the second semi-annual period - 5 excursions;

For the third semi-annual period - 4 excursions;

For the fourth semi-annual period - 3 excursions;

For the fifth semi-annual period - 2 excursions;

For the sixth and all subsequent semi-annual periods -1 excursion.

An excursion occurs when: (1) the daily average value of the monitored parameter is outside the
range established in the NCS or operating permit; or (2) if monitoring data are insufficient. In order
to have sufficient data, a source must have measured values for each 15-minute period within each
hour for at least 75 percent of the hours the control device is operating in a day. For example, if a
control device operates 24 hours per day, data must be available for all 15-minute periods in at
least 18 hours; but up to 6 hours may have incomplete data. If more than 6 hours have incomplete
data, an excursion has occurred. For control devices that operate less than 4 hours a day, one
hour of incomplete data is allowed.

11.0 COMPLIANCE TIMELINE AND REPORTING
CHECKLIST

Once it is known that a source has
emission points that are subject to
the HON, the inspector may use
the checklists contained in this
portion of the guide to evaluate
the content of the reports
submitted as part of the source's
compliance procedures.

Figure 11-1 is a compliance
timeline for the HON; it shows the
compliance dates as well as the
dates when reports must be
submitted. Table 11-1 is a
checklist for the Initial Notification.

The checklist contained in
Table 11-2 pertains to the
implementation data to be present
in operating permit applications or in the implementation plan. Table 11-3 covers the Notification of
Compliance Status. Tables 11-4 deals with periodic reports. Table 11-5 provides a checklist for assessing
requests for an extension of compliance. Table 11-6 is a checklist for evaluating requests for use of
alternative monitoring or recordkeeping procedures. A checklist for the Start-Up, Shutdown and
Malfunction Plan is given in Table 11-7. Table 11-8 is a checklist for evaluating Start-up, Shutdown and
Malfunction reports. Table 11-9 is a checklist for initial notifications for new or reconstructed major affected
sources. Table 11-10 is a checklist for source construction and reconstruction permit application. The
tables in this section include general provisions applicable to the HON that pertain to reporting.
