Bill, presented below is a summary of the Midland EOTT tank compliance=20 status verified by fax and telephone with the teams.
This information is 9= 8%=20 complete until actual onsite verification occurs, which is set up for the= =20 month of August.
I plan on visiting each team and tank in the Midland=20 Region.
However, until the site visits are completed, this should give you=  a=20 good idea of the status of the EOTT pipeline tanks stand with respect to ai= r=20 compliance.
=20  1.
Tank compliance database, general.
The database, which included 366 tan= ks=20 at the onset, has been reduced to 106 EOTT P/L tanks.
Tanks operated by EO= TT=20 Trucking; non-EOTT tanks;  tanks sold, removed, duplicated, or otherwise=20 listed in error, were removed (and saved in another file).
Of the 106 tank= s=20 listed, 80 are active, 12 are inactive, 10 are permanently out-of-service,= =20 and 4 are abandoned in place.
=20 2.
Permit issues.=20 Federal  a.
Title V permit concerns do not appear to be a problem.
Electric pumps a= re=20 the norm  at EOTT tank farms, so site emissions are exclusively from the=20 tanks and do not exceed 100 TPY.
(Only Crane Station has a Title V permit)= .
=20 This statement is based on =01&worst case=018 calculations using EPA TANKS = 4.0=20 which indicated that in a:  5,000 bbl fixed roof tank:  3.6 MM bbls of RVP 5 crude throughput  (i.e., 7= 20=20 turnovers) produced annual emissions of 48 tons (2 tpy breathing loss, 46 t= py=20 working loss).=20  55,000 bbl EFR tank:  14.0 MM bbls of RVP 5 crude throughput  (i.e., 255=20 turnovers) produced annual emissions of 9 tons (6 tpy breathing loss, 3 tpy= =20 working loss).=20  55,000 bbl fixed roof tank:  14.0 MM bbls of RVP 5 crude throughput  (i.e.,= =20 255 turnovers) produced annual emissions of 4 tons (1 tpy breathing loss, 3= =20 tpy working loss).=20   State=20  b.
State permit concerns do not appear to be a problem.
Sixty-three (63) o= f=20 the 106 tanks were constructed before 1971 (and not modified or=20 reconstructed).
These tanks are grandfathered and require no permit as long= =20 as throughputs do not significantly change.
=20  All of the EOTT Texas tanks of any size constructed/modified/reconstructed= =20 after 1971 and equipped with a floating roof are exempt under Standard=20 Exemption 86, currently known as Permit-by-Rule 106.478.
None of the tank= s=20 store material with a true vapor pressure above 11.0 psia, and total actual= =20 VOC emissions authorized under exemption from any site does not exceed the = 30=20 TAC 106.4 limit of 25 tpy.
No registration for the exemption is necessary= ,=20 since the tanks are not located in a nonattainment county for ozone.
New Mexico=01,s permitting program for petroleum storage tanks is being=20 developed but,  currently, there are no requirements.
Therefore, all EOTT= =20 tanks in New Mexico meet state permit requirements.
However, when finalize= d,=20 the control requirements for tanks in New Mexico will not be more stringent= =20 than the federal NSPS Subpart Kb.
Therefore, a tank equipped with a floati= ng=20 roof would be authorized to store petroleum product with a true vapor=20 pressure up to 11.0 psia.
Only the four fixed roof tanks at Maljamar and= =20 the one at Loco Hills could be affected.=20  4.
Recordkeeping and inspection issues.
The grandfathered tanks have no=20 requirements.
For tanks subject to NSPS Subpart K, only capacity data is=20 required.
Tanks subject to Ka and Kb require inspection, repairs if=20 warranted, and recordkeeping.
=20  Note: Especially for some of the older tanks, neither a manufacturer=01,s= =20 identification plate or=20 strapping table is available.
I would suggest that we pursue a records=20 search of old EOTT files to verify construction dates.
I dont know where t= o=20 start on this.
