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 724.960 must be recorded and kept up-to-date in the facility operating record, as specified in Section 724.935(c)(1) and (c)(2), and monitoring, operating and inspection information in Section 724.935(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, the Agency must specify the appropriate recordkeeping requirements, indicating proper operation and maintenance of the control device, in the RCRA permit.

g)         The following information pertaining to all equipment subject to the requirements in Sections 724.952 through 724.960 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 724.952(e), 724.953(i), and 724.957(f).

B)        The designation of this equipment as subject to the requirements of Section 724.952(e), 724.953(i), or 724.957(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 724.954(a).

4)         Compliance Tests

A)        The dates of each compliance test required in Sections 724.952(e), 724.953(i), 724.954, and 724.957(f).
