Section 232-2.8 - Reporting and recordkeeping

(a) Trained operators must maintain the following records and record the specified information on forms provided by the department:

(1) the date, duration and nature of any malfunction, spill, incident, or emergency response at the facility as outlined in section 232-1.5(c) of this Subpart;

(2) the date of maintenance on any air cleaning component or exhaust system (such as the regeneration and/or replacement of the carbon in a carbon adsorber);

(3) the number of loads between carbon regenerations, cleaning and replacement of lint filters and carbon adsorber pre-filters, repair or replacement of exhaust fans;

(4) the amount of activated carbon in carbon adsorbers (dry weight in pounds);

(5) the date of maintenance of drying sensors;

(6) the date and volume of hazardous waste shipments; and

(7) the dates of perc-contaminated wastewater treatment unit carbon cartridge replacement.

(b) Each owner or operator must maintain on-site, and provide upon request, a five year record and log of the following information:

(1) Receipts of perc purchases.

(2) The volume of perc purchased each month as recorded from perc purchases.

(3) The owner or operator must perform the following calculation on the first day of every month:

(i) sum the volume of all perc purchases made in each of the previous twelve months, as recorded in the log described in paragraph (1) of this subdivision;

(ii) if no perc purchases were made in a given month, then the perc consumption for that month is zero gallons; and

(iii) the total sum calculated is the yearly perc consumption at the facility. Should a non-major dry cleaning facility calculate a total sum that exceeds 2,100 gallons, the facility owner or operator must submit a complete application for a Title V permit and submit a notification of compliance status report to the department as required by subdivison (h) of this section. For facilities that are not required to obtain a Title V permit, a state facility permit is required if the total sum equals or exceeds 1,050 gallons.

(c) Trained operators must record the following information on an inspection checklist as described in section 232-2.5 of this Subpart.

(1) the dates each perc dry cleaning system component was inspected for leaks and the name or location of any perc dry cleaning system component where a perceptible leak was detected;

(2) the date, time and colorimetric detector tube sampled perc concentration from any carbon adsorber vent, or any required drum concentration measurement;

(3) the date, time and temperature sensor monitoring results for refrigerated condensers; and

(4) the dates of repair and records of written or verbal orders for repair parts to demonstrate compliance with the inspection and testing requirements.

(d) Owners or operators must retain, on-site, copies of the operation and maintenance checklists, required under section 232-2.6 of this Subpart, and the compliance inspection reporting forms, required under section 232-2.11 of this Subpart.

(e) Owners or operators must retain, on-site, copies of the design specifications and the operating manuals for each perc dry cleaning system and each emission control device located at the dry cleaning facility.

(f) All records must be maintained on-site for at least five years and be made available to the department upon written or verbal request.

(g) New and existing facilities installing new perc dry cleaning machines, must submit a completed compliance status notification form to the department by registered mail within 30 days of commencing operation to certify compliance with the Federal NESHAP requirements. This statement must include:

(1) the name and address of the owner or operator;

(2) the address (that is, physical location) of the perc dry cleaning facility;

(3) an estimation of the facility's annual perc consumption;

(4) a description of the machines' emission control devices;

(5) a statement verifying compliance with each applicable requirement under 40 CFR sections 63.322, 63.323, and 63.324; and

(6) a statement certifying that all information contained in the report is accurate and true.

(h) Facilities with a yearly perc consumption exceeding 2,100 gallons, as calculated by the procedures in section 232-2.8(b)(3) of this Subpart, must submit a notification of compliance status report to the department by registered mail within 180 days from the date the facility determines that the reported major dry cleaning facility consumption threshold was exceeded. This statement must include:
