§ 66265.1060. Standards: Closed-Vent Systems and Control Devices.

(a) Owners and operators of closed-vent systems and control devices subject to this article shall comply with the provisions of section 66265.1033.

(b)(1) The owner or operator of an existing facility who cannot install a closed-vent system and control device to comply with the provisions of this article on the effective date that the facility becomes subject to the provisions of this article must prepare an implementation schedule that includes dates by which the closed-vent system and control device will be installed and in operation. The controls must be installed as soon as possible, but the implementation schedule may allow up to 30 months after the effective date that the facility becomes subject to this article for installation and startup.

(2) Any units that begin operation after December 21, 1990, and are subject to the provisions of this article when operation begins, must comply with the rules immediately (i.e., must have control devices installed and operating on startup of the affected unit); the 30-month implementation schedule does not apply.

(3) The owner or operator of any facility in existence on the effective date of a statutory or Department regulatory amendment that renders the facility subject to this article shall comply with all requirements of this article as soon as practicable but no later than 30 months after the amendment's effective date. When control equipment required by this article cannot be installed and begin operation by the effective date of the amendment, the facility owner or operator shall prepare an implementation schedule that includes the following information: Specific calendar dates for award of contracts or issuance of purchase orders for the control equipment, initiation of on-site installation of the control equipment, completion of the control equipment installation, and performance of any testing to demonstrate that the installed equipment meets the applicable standards of this article. The owner or operator shall enter the implementation schedule in the operating record or in a permanent, readily available file located at the facility.

(4) Owners and operators of facilities and units that become newly subject to the requirements of this article after December 8, 1997 due to an action other than those described in subsection (b)(3) of this section must comply with all applicable requirements immediately (i.e., must have control devices installed and operating on the date the facility or unit becomes subject to this article; the 30-month implementation schedule does not apply).
