Section 250-RICR-120-05-32.5 - DefinitionsA. Unless otherwise expressly defined in this section, the terms used in this regulation shall be defined by reference to (General Definitions), Part 0 of this Subchapter. As used in this regulation, the following terms shall, where the context permits, be construed as follows: 1. "Combustion device" means emission control equipment used for combustion or destruction of organic vapors and includes, but is not limited to, thermal incinerators, catalytic incinerators, flares, boilers, and process heaters.2. "Emission control equipment" means any equipment, machinery, apparatus, or device used to recover or reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds.3. "Gasoline" means any petroleum distillate having a Reid vapor pressure of more than 4 psia as determined by ASTM Method D323. This term includes but is not limited to mixtures of alcohols and gasoline.4. "Leak free" means the dripping of a liquid containing volatile organic compounds at a rate of four drops per minute or less; or an emission of gaseous volatile organic compounds which causes an appropriate analyzer sampling one centimeter or less from a source to register less than 10,000 ppm as methane.5. "Loading event" means an incident or occurrence beginning with the connecting of marine terminal storage tanks to a marine tank vessel by means of pipes or hoses followed by the transferring of organic liquid cargo and ending with the disconnecting of the pipes or hoses; or any means of admitting any other liquid into a marine vessel's cargo tanks. Loading events shall include only such incidents which occur when a marine tank vessel is moored to a dock or other permanent stationary structure.6. "Marine tank vessel" means any marine vessel which is specially constructed or converted to carry liquid bulk cargo in tanks.7. "Marine terminal" means any facility, equipment, or structure constructed to load or unload organic liquid bulk cargo into or out of marine tank vessels.8. "Marine vessel" means any tugboat, tanker, freighter, passenger ship, barge or other boat, ship or water craft except those used primarily for recreation.9. "Organic liquid" means, for the purposes of this regulation, gasoline, gasoline blending stocks, aviation gas and aviation fuel which contains gasoline, such as JP-4 type.10. "Recovery device" means emission control equipment used to remove organic vapors and recover liquids or chemicals and includes, but is not limited to, absorbers, carbon absorbers, and condensers.11. "Segregated ballasting operations" means the loading of ballast water into tanks on a marine vessel if those tanks are used only for ballasting and never hold organic liquid.12. "Vapor tight marine vessel" means a marine vessel which has been demonstrated within the previous 12 months to have no leaks. A marine vessel loaded at negative pressure is assumed to be vapor tight for the purposes of this regulation. Discharges from pressure/vacuum relief valves on cargo tank vent lines are not considered leaks for the purposes of this definition.250 R.I. Code R. 250-RICR-120-05-32.5
