(a) For the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Bexar County, Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, the following recordkeeping requirements shall apply.
  (1) Any person who operates a single or multiple compartment volatile organic compound (VOC) water separator without the controls specified in §115.132(a) of this title (relating to Control Requirements) shall maintain complete and up-to-date records sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the applicable exemption criteria including, but not limited to, the names and true vapor pressures of all such materials stored, processed, or handled at the affected property, and any other necessary operational information.
  (2) Affected persons shall install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational parameters of any emission control device installed to meet applicable control requirements. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of those devices to design specifications, including:
    (A) the exhaust gas temperature immediately downstream of any direct-flame incinerator;
    (B) the gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalytic incinerator or chiller; and
    (C) the VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system exhaust gas to determine if breakthrough has occurred.
  (3) Affected persons shall maintain the results of any testing conducted in accordance with the provisions specified in §115.135(a) of this title (relating to Testing Requirements).
  (4) All records shall be maintained at the affected facility for at least two years and be made available upon request to representatives of the executive director, EPA, or any local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction in the area.
(b) For Gregg, Nueces, and Victoria Counties, the following recordkeeping requirements shall apply.
  (1) Any person who operates a single or multiple compartment VOC water separator without the controls specified in §115.132(b) of this title shall maintain complete and up-to-date records sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the applicable exemption criteria including, but not limited to, the names and true vapor pressures of all such materials stored, processed, or handled at the affected property, and any other necessary operational information.
  (2) In Victoria County, affected persons shall install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational parameters of any emission control device installed to meet applicable control requirements. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of those devices to design specifications, including:
    (A) the exhaust gas temperature immediately downstream of any direct-flame incinerator;
    (B) the gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalytic incinerator or chiller; and
    (C) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system, as defined in §115.10 of this title (relating to Definitions), to determine if breakthrough has occurred.
  (3) Affected persons shall maintain the results of any testing conducted in accordance with the provisions specified in §115.135(b) of this title.
  (4) All records shall be maintained at the affected facility for at least two years and be made available upon request to representatives of the executive director, EPA, or any local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction in the area.
