RECALIM (Title V) Facility Permit Amendment* Total

A/N 495049 was submitted in early 2009 before Ultramar was issued a Title V facility. Therefore, Ultramar submitted only a RECLAIM Facility Permit Revision application. HISTORY The sump is an existing piece of equipment that has never been permitted. Therefore, there is no permit history. This sump has been in use at the refinery for over 10 years. Ultramar submitted this application for permit after the refinery was issued a Notice to Comply (NTC) C66987 on December 1, 2003 for

operating equipment without a permit. Therefore, this application was submitted in response to the NTC. The contents from this sump are piped to existing crude oil draw-off sump 83-SMP-3, currently permitted in the wastewater treatment system (A/N 458073, Process 13, System 1). PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Ultramar Refinery operates a vacuum truck cleanout/unloading sump, 83-ME-4. Ultramar utilizes several vacuum trucks for various types of operation. These types of operation include transfer of various products and by-products from one location to another within the refinery or another location, collection of tank bottom solids and water, and other vacuum truck operations. Vacuum trucks containing residue products/sludge need to be washed before using them to transport other products. To cleanout the trucks, the vacuum trucks are filled with wash water. This wash out water and any material unloaded from the vacuum trucks is then sent to vacuum truck cleanout/unloading sump, 83-ME-4. The sump contents from sump 83-ME-4 are eventually piped to the crude tank draw off sump, 83-SMP-3 (D399), which is permitted within the refinerys wastewater system (A/N 458073, Process 13, System 1). As the wash water from vacuum truck enters sump 83-ME-4, the wash water is simultaneously filled into the wastewater system by gravity. The sump is covered with a fixed roof so only a minimal amount of emissions should be emitted. It contains two compartments. The sump is not vented to the atmosphere. The first compartment consists of the hatch where the contents of the vacuum truck is unloaded. The second compartment is equipped with a gooseneck pipe with a water seal that acts a pressure relief valve in case the pressure builds up in the sump. The pipe is located on south east corner of sump. The gooseneck pipe is 3 inches in diameter and has a height of approximately 7 feet 4 inches from the top of the sump to the top of the pipe. The height from the bottom of the water seal to opening of the pipe where the water fills the water seal is about 12 inches. This water height should be enough to keep any vapors from escaping. Water is generally added twice per week during the operators rounds. The contents in the second compartment drains by gravity into the refinerys wastewater system. See the diagram below of the sump.

Sump 83-ME-4 is a covered, sealed, and equipped with a hatch. The hatch is only opened when a vacuum truck drives up and unloads its contents into the sump. Sump 83-ME-4 measures 17 feet long, 11 feet wide, and 9 feet 10 inches deep. It is made of concrete, situated mostly below grade, and covered by a steel plate. According to the refinery, the annual throughput is approximately 5.2 million gallons per year.

EMISSIONS: As noted above in the project description, Ultramar operates an existing effluent sump, 95-SMP-5 equipped with a water seal, fixed roof cover, and hatch to collect the wash water (wastewater) from the vacuum trucks. The emission increase is 0.119 lbs/day.

As the water enters the sump, the contents of the sump is simultaneously sent to the another sump within the waste water system. Sump 83-ME-4 is covered by a fixed roof so a minimal amount of emissions should be emitted into the atmosphere. The fixed roof cover is assumed to have a 90% control efficiency. VOC Emission from 95-SMP-2 = 1.8 lb/year/ft2*187 ft2*yr/12 mos*1mo/30 days *(1-90%) = 0.09 lbs/day

In addition, the sump contains one hatch which normally remains closed. The hatch is only removed so the hose can be connected from the vacuum truck to the vacuum trucks to collect the wash water. VOC emissions for the hatch are estimated by multiplying the total number of each fugitive component type by an appropriate emission factor. Emissions from fugitive components are calculated using the CAPCOA-revised 1995 EPA Correlation Equations (Table IV-3a from AQMD Guidelines for Fugitive Emissions Calculations, June 2003). As seen in the detailed fugitive VOC emission calculations, which are contained in Appendix A, the fugitive VOC emissions is 0.025 lb/day (9.09 lbs/year). Total VOC Emission Increase = (0.09 + 0.025) lbs/day = 0.119 lbs/day The total VOC emissions estimated to be 0.119 lb/day. RULE EVLAUATION:

Ultramar operates under procedures to ensure compliance with Rule 1123 vessel depressuring and recordkeeping requirement during process unit turnarounds. Compliance is expected.

Rule 1173

Fugitive Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds

February 6, 2009

The sump does not have a valve, fitting, pump, compressor, pressure relief device, diaphragm, sight-glass, and meter in VOC service. It does have one hatch to collect the washwater from the vacuum trucks. Although hatches are defined as fugitive components in Rule 1173(c)(4), the sump (and hatch) handle fluids with a VOC content of 10% by weight or less. In accordance with Rule 1176(l)(1)(D)-Exemptions, the rule does not apply to components handling fluids with a VOC content greater than 10% by weight. Therefore, the hatch is exempt from Rule 1173. There are no other fugitive components associated with the sump.

September 13, 1996

The emissions are controlled by the fixed roof cover, a water seal with about 12 inches of water, and the refinerys wastewater system. The water collected in the sump 83 -ME-4 is gravity fed underground to an existing sump (SMP-3) in the refinery wastewater system (Permitted under A/N 458073). The sump is monitored at least monthly for VOC emissions. Ultramar provided the monthly monitoring data of the sump from October 2011 to September 2012. During this 12 month period, the emissions were only above 500 ppm on March 12, 2012 when a leak was detected in the hatch. Additional Requirements for drain system components (DSCs) at Petroleum Refineries. For the DSCs in the wastewater system, Ultramar complies with the control requirements of this paragraph according to subparagraphs (e)(7)(A): Control of Repeat Emitting DSCs. The refinery is required to inspect, monitor, and maintain the wastewater system, closed vent system, and all DSCs according to the schedule outlined in the Table 2 of the rule. Ultramar submits quarterly reports to the District with the information required in (g)(2)(B). Inspection, Monitoring and Maintenance Requirements. The sump is monitored at least monthly for VOC emissions. Ultramar provided the monthly monitoring data of the sump from October 2011 to September 2012. During this 12 month period, the emissions were only above 500 ppm on March 12, 2012 when there was a leak in the hatch. Ultramar repaired the hatch that day and re-monitored the emissions which were found to be well below 500 ppm (24 ppm).

REG XIII

New Source Review

May 10, 1996 (Application deem complete date: 2012)

The sump will not result in a significant emission increase. The sump results in an emission increase of 0.119 lbs VOC/day. Therefore, the requirements of Regulation XIII should not apply to this sump. 1303(a) Best Available Control Technology (BACT): BACT is not required since the sump emissions are less than 1 lb/day. 1303(b) The net emission increase from the sump is only 0.119 lb/day of VOC. Since the emission increase is less than 0.5 lbs/day, the requirements of this paragraph (modeling, offsets, sensitive zone requirements, facility compliance, major polluting facilities) do not apply.

To comply with the general standards (61.342), Subpart FF contains several different options that a facility may use to manage and treat the facility waste if the total annual benzene quantity from the facility waste is greater than or equal to 10 Mg/yr. The options are: 61.342(c): waste management and treatment requirements for facilities at which the total annual benzene quantity from the facility waste is equal to or greater than 10 Mg/yr. 61.342(d): an alternative to requirements under 61.342(c) 61.342(e): an alternative to the requirements under 61.342(c) and (d) 61.342(f): off-site treatment option as an alternative to 61.242(c)(1)(i); this option is not available to facilities complying under 61.342(e).

Ultramar elected to comply with the alternative compliance option 61.342(e), which is also known as the 6BQ compliance option. 61.342(e)(2) requires all wastes with a water content of 10% or greater (aqueous waste) to comply with the wastewater provisions in the subsequent paragraphs. In 61.342(e)(2)(i), the sum of all benzene quantity of aqueous waste must be equal to or less than 6.0 Mg/yr. Therefore, the 6BQ compliance option requires Ultramar to manage the benzene quantity for all aqueous waste to less than 6.0 Mg/yr. In checking the Subpart FF annual reports submitted to EPA, we found the benzene quantity for the aqueous waste to be as follows:

Year

Total Annual Benzene Quantity from Aqueous Waste (Mg/yr) 2.5
