For the purpose of complying with this paragraph, a tank for which the air emission control includes an enclosure, as opposed to a cover, shall be in compliance with the enclosure and control device requirements of paragraph (I) of rule 3745-205-84 of the Administrative Code, except as provided in paragraph (C)(5) of rule 3745-205-82 of the Administrative Code.(8) A tank that has a "process vent" as defined in rule 3745-205-31 of the Administrative Code.(C) For the owner and operator of a facility subject to rules 3745-205-80 to 3745-205-90 of the Administrative Code who received a final Ohio hazardous waste management permit prior to December 6, 1996, the requirements of rules 3745-205-80 to 3745-205-90 of the Administrative Code shall be incorporated into the permit when the permit is modified or renewed in accordance with the requirements of rules 3745-50-40 to 3745-50-235 of the Administrative Code or reviewed in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (D) of rule 3745-50-54 of the Administrative Code.

For the purpose of meeting the conditions of this paragraph, "organic peroxide" means an organic compound that contains the bivalent -O-O- structure and which may be considered to be a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or both of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an organic radical.(2) The owner or operator prepares documentation, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (I) of rule 3745-205-89 of the Administrative Code, explaining why an undue safety hazard would be created if air emission controls specified in rules 3745-205-84 to 3745-205-87 of the Administrative Code are installed and operated on the tanks and containers used at the facility to manage the hazardous waste generated by the organic peroxide manufacturing process or processes meeting the conditions of paragraph (D)(1) of this rule.(3) The owner or operator notifies the director in writing that hazardous waste generated by an organic peroxide manufacturing process or processes meeting the conditions of paragraph (D)(1) of this rule are managed at the facility in tanks or containers meeting the conditions of paragraph (D)(2) of this rule. The notification shall state the name and address of the facility, and be signed and dated by an authorized representative of the facility owner or operator.(H) Definitions.
