3) The date the leak was detected and the dates of each attempt to repair the leak;

4) Repair methods applied in each attempt to repair the leak;

5) "Above 10,000", if the maximum instrument reading measured by the methods specified in Section 725.963(b) after each repair attempt is equal to or greater than 10,000 ppm;

6) "Repair delayed" and the reason for the delay if a leak is not repaired within 15 calendar days after discovery of the leak;

7) Documentation supporting the delay of repair of a valve in compliance with Section 725.959(c);

8) The signature of the owner or operator (or designate) whose decision it was that repair could not be effected without a hazardous waste management unit shutdown;

9) The expected date of successful repair of the leak if a leak is not repaired within 15 calendar days; and

10) The date of successful repair of the leak.

e) Design documentation and monitoring, operating, and inspection information for each closed-vent system and control device required to comply with the provisions of Section 725.960 must be recorded and kept up-to-date in the facility operating record as specified in Section 725.935(c)(1) and (c)(2), and monitoring, operating and inspection information in Section 725.935(c)(3) through (c)(8).

f) For a control device other than a thermal vapor incinerator, catalytic vapor incinerator, flare, boiler, process heater, condenser, or carbon adsorption system, monitoring and inspection information indicating proper operation and maintenance of the control device must be recorded in the facility operating record.

g) The following information pertaining to all equipment subject to the requirements in Sections 725.952 through 725.960 must be recorded in a log that is kept in the facility operating record:

1) A list of identification numbers for equipment (except welded fittings) subject to the requirements of this Subpart BB.

2) List of Equipment

A) A list of identification numbers for equipment that the owner or operator elects to designate for no detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background, under the provisions of Sections 725.952(e), 725.953(i), and 725.957(f).

B) The designation of this equipment as subject to the requirements of Section 725.952(e), 725.953(i), or 725.957(f) must be signed by the owner or operator.

3) A list of equipment identification numbers for pressure relief devices required to comply with Section 725.954(a).

4) Compliance Tests

A) The dates of each compliance test required in Sections 725.952(e), 725.953(i), 725.954, and 725.957(f).

B) The background level measured during each compliance test.

C) The maximum instrument reading measured at the equipment during each compliance test.

5) A list of identification numbers for equipment in vacuum service.

6) Identification, either by list or location (area or group) of equipment that contains or contacts hazardous waste with an organic concentration of at least 10 percent by weight for less than 300 hours per year.

h) The following information pertaining to all valves subject to the requirements of Section 725.957(g) and (h) must be recorded in a log that is kept in the facility operating record:

1) A list of identification numbers for valves that are designated as unsafe to monitor, an explanation for each valve stating why the valve is unsafe to monitor, and the plan for monitoring each valve; and

The record must include supporting documentation, as required by Section 725.963(d)(3), when application of the knowledge of the nature of the hazardous wastestream or the process by which it was produced is used. If the owner or operator takes any action (e.g., changing the process that produced the waste) that could result in an increase in the total organic content of the waste contained in or contacted by equipment determined not to be subject to the requirements in Sections 725.952 through 725.960, then a new determination is required.

l) Records of the equipment leak information required by subsection (d) and the operating information required by subsection (e) need be kept only three years.

Adm. Code 720.111(b). The documentation of compliance under the regulation at 40 CFR 60, 61, or 63 must be kept with or made readily available with the facility operating record.
