    (B) The raw data obtained in the measurement.

    (C) The calculations described in section 5(c)(2) and 5(c)(3) of this rule.

    (2) Within sixty (60) days of performing the seal gap measurements required by section 5(c)(1) of this rule, furnish the department with a report that contains the following:

    (A) The date of measurement.

    (B) The raw data obtained in the measurement.

    (C) The calculations described in section 5(c)(2) and 5(c)(3) of this rule.

    (3) After each seal gap measurement that detects gaps exceeding the limitations specified in section 5(c) of this rule, submit a report to the department within thirty (30) days of the inspection. The report shall identify the vessel and contain the information specified in subdivision (2) and the date the vessel was emptied or the repairs made and date of repair.

      (e) The owner or operator of each vessel equipped with a closed vent system with a control device shall comply with the following record keeping and reporting requirements:

    (1) Owner or operators that equip the vessel with a control device other than a flare shall do the following:

    (A) On or before January 1, 1996, submit an operating plan as required by section 4(d) of this rule.

    (B) Maintain records of the following:

    (i) The operating plan.

    (ii) Measured values of the parameters monitored according to section 5(d)(2) of this rule.

    (2) Owner or operators that equip the vessel with a closed vent system and a flare shall meet the following requirements:

    (A) Keep records of all periods of operation during which the flare pilot flame is absent.

    (B) Furnish the department with a report containing the measurements required by 40 CFR 60.18(f)(1) through 40 CFR 60.18(f)(5)* as required by 40 CFR 60.8. This report shall be submitted within six (6) months of the initial start-up date.

    (C) Furnish the department with a semiannual report of all periods recorded under 40 CFR 60.115* in which the pilot flame was absent.

      (f) The owner or operator of each vessel equipped with a closed vent system and control device meeting the standards of section 4 of this rule is exempt from the requirements of subsections (g) and (h).

      (g) Except as provided in subsections (f) and (j), the owner or operator of each vessel either with a design capacity greater than or equal to thirty-nine thousand (39,000) gallons storing a VOL with a maximum true vapor pressure greater than or equal to five-tenths (0.5) pound per square inch absolute (psia) but less than seventy-five hundredths (0.75) psia shall maintain a record of the maximum true vapor pressure of the VOL stored in each vessel. The record for each vessel shall contain the following information:

    (1) The type of VOL stored.

    (2) The dates of the VOL storage.

    (3) For each day of VOL storage, the average stored temperature for VOLs stored above or below the ambient temperature or average ambient temperature for VOLs stored at ambient temperature, and the corresponding maximum true vapor pressure.

      (h) Except as provided in subsection (f), the owner or operator of each vessel with a design capacity greater than or equal to thirty-nine thousand (39,000) gallons storing a liquid with a maximum true vapor pressure that is normally less than seventy-five hundredths (0.75) psia shall maintain a record and notify the department within thirty (30) days when the maximum true vapor pressure of the liquid exceeds seventy-five hundredths (0.75) psia.

      (i) Available data on the storage temperature may be used to determine the maximum true vapor pressure as follows:

    (1) The maximum true vapor pressure for VOLs stored at temperatures above or below the ambient temperature shall correspond to the highest calendar-month average storage temperature. The maximum true vapor pressure for VOLs stored at the ambient temperature shall correspond to the local maximum monthly average temperature, as reported by the National Weather Service.

    (2) For local crude oil or refined petroleum products, the maximum vapor pressure may be determined as follows:

    (A) Available data on the Reid vapor pressure and the maximum expected storage temperature based on the highest expected calendar month average temperature of the stored product may be used to determine the maximum true vapor pressure from nomographs contained in API Bulletin 2517* unless the department specifically requests that the liquid be sampled, the actual storage temperature determined, and the Reid vapor pressure determined from the samples.

    (B) The maximum true vapor pressure of each type of crude oil with a Reid vapor pressure less than two (2) pounds per square inch or with physical properties that preclude determination by the recommended method shall be determined from available data and recorded if the estimated maximum true vapor pressure is greater than five-tenths (0.5) psia.

    (3) For other liquids, the maximum true vapor pressure may be determined by any of the following methods:

    (A) Standard reference texts.

    (B) ASTM Method D2879-92**.

    (C) Calculated or measured by a method approved by the department.

      (j) The owner or operator of each vessel storing a waste mixture of indeterminate or variable composition shall be subject to the following requirements:

    (1) Prior to the initial filling of the vessel, the highest maximum true vapor pressure for the range of anticipated liquid compositions to be stored will be determined using the methods described in subsection (i).

    (2) For vessels in which the vapor pressure of the anticipated liquid composition is above the cutoff for monitoring but below the cutoff for controls as defined in section 4(a) of this rule, tests are required as follows:

    (A) An initial physical test of the vapor pressure is required.

    (B) A physical test at least once every six (6) months thereafter is required using one (1) of the following methods:

    (i) ASTM Method D2879-92**.

    (ii) ASTM Method D323-82**.

    (iii) As measured by an appropriate method as approved by the department.
