Under the NPDES program, all municipal, industrial and commercial facilities that discharge wastewater directly from a point source (a discrete conveyance such asa pipe, ditch or channel) into a receiving waterbody (lake, river, ocean) are issued an NPDES permit.

Questions?Contact a memberof the NPDES PermitinoStaff (1 p.,38KB,nflnu.2D.E) to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), which in turn discharges into the receiving waterbody, are not subject toNPDES permits; rather they are controlled by the national pretreatment program.
The state or federal agencies that issue permits determine the volume of effluent that can be dischar ged from a given facility and set limits in the permit to ensure that water'quality is not comp romised. The permits expire after five years. NPDES permits are divided into two categories: municipal and industrial. Each category is then subdivided into major (large dischargers) and minor (small dischargers). Some of the permits cover single facilities while others, called general permits, cover all of the facilities of a certain type in a given state.

Carbon Monoxide - Nitroaen Dioxide - Sulfur Dioxide - Lead Ozone Vermont operated two ozone (03) monitoring sites in 2004; one at the Proctor Maple Research Facility in Underhill and the other in Benni ngton. The 8-hour average ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) is 0.08 parts per million (ppm) and is assessed relative to the running 3-year average of the annual 4th maximum daily maximum 8-hour average. Based on this criteria, both Underhill and Bennington are 100% of the NAAQS (0.08 ppm) for 2004; this is in compliance with the standard, which must not be exceeded.
The highest 8-hour concentration of ozone in 2004, 0.091 ppm, was recorded at the Bennington site. The highest recorded 8-hour concentration of ozone at the Proctor Maple Research site was 0.079 ppm. The highest 1-hour concentration of ozone in 2004, 0.106 ppm, was recorded at the Bennington site while the highest recorded 1-hour concentration of ozone at the Proctor Maple Research Facility was 0.093 ppm.
PM2.5 Vermont maintained six monitoring sites that sampled for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 microns (PM 2 5 ). PM 2.5 sampling in 2004 was conducted at Rutland, Bennington Airport Road, Burlington Zampieri Building, Burlington Main Street, Shoreham Lapham Bay and Shoreham Smith Street. Although PM 2 5 sampling was discontinued in 2003 at the Proctor Maple Research Facility in Underhill, PM 2 5 sampling continues in Underhill through the IMPROVE program. Vermont began PM 2 5 sampling in 1999. The annual average PM 25 standard is assessed relative to the three-year average of the respective annual averages. The PM 25 annual average NAAQS is 15 micrograms per cubic meter (pg/m 3). Compliance was http://www.anr.state.vt.us/air/Monitori ng/htm/2005AnnualR eport.htm 12/15/2006

The three-year average as the Burlington Zampieri site was 9.5,ug/m 3 (63% of NAAQS). The PMa25 24-hour average standard is assessed relative to the three-year average of the annual 98th percentile sample concentration. Given Vermont's 1-in-3 day sampling schedule, the annual 98th percentile concentration is the annual third 24-hour maximum concentration. The PM2.5 24-hour standard is 65 pg/m 3. Compliance was assessed at the Burlington Zampieri site and the three-year 98th percentile average was 32pg/m 3 (49% of NAAQS).
PM10 In 2004, Vermont maintained six monitoring site that sampled for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 10 microns (PM 10) for the entire year at Burlingon Main Street. PM 10 sampling in 2004 was conducted at Rutland, Underhill, Brattleboro, Burlington Main Street, Shoreham Lapham Bay Road and Shoreham Smith Street. The highest 24-hour concentration in 2004 of 45 pg/m 3 was recorded in Rutland. The highest annual PM 10 average concentration observed was in Brattlebdro at 19 ug/m 3. These concentrations are well below the former PM 10 annual maximum 24-hour average NAAQS of 150 pg/m 3 and the PM 10 annual average NAAQS of 50 pg/m 3. Yearly variability in the data is common, in part determined by meteorology, transport of particulate matter from distant sources, and changes in the emission strength of local sources.
Carbon Monoxide During 2004, Vermont operated two Carbon Monoxide (CO) sites in Rutland and Burlington Main Street. No exceedance of the NAAQS for COwas recorded. The highest 1st and 2nd maximum 8-hour concentrations of CO recorded at Rutland were 2.1 ppm and 1.8 ppm. The highest 1st and 2nd maximum 8-hour concentrations of CO recorded at Burlington were 2.2 ppm and 1.9 ppm. The five-year trend line shows in Rutland shows a slight downward trend with the second highs at levels between 20% and 28% of the 8-hour NAAQS of 9 ppm. The Burlingt on CO site was not in operation in 2002; however was put back in operation for 2003 where it continues to http://www.anr.state.vt.us/air/Monitori ng/htrrm2005AnnualR eport.htm 12/15/2006

CO measured in Burlington from 1995 through 1999 resulted in second 8-hour maximums ranging between 24% and 37% of the standard.
The second 8-hour maximum in Burlington of 1.9 ppm in 2004 was 21% of the standard. In 2004, the maximum one-hour concentration of CO recorded at Burlington and Rutland was 3.2 ppm and 3.6 ppm, respectively.
0 Nitrogen Dioxide Vermont operated two nitrogen dioxide (NO2) monitoring sites in Rutland and Burlington Main Street in 2004. No exceedance of the NAAQS for NO2 was recorded. In 2004, the annual average for NO2 at Burlington and Rutland was 0.014 ppm and 0.012 ppm, respectivel y. Historical data for the most recent five years (2000-2004) indicate that the annual average concentrations of NO2 have remained relatively stable. During this time period, the annual averages for the Rutland site ranged from 0.011 ppm to 0.013 ppm NO2. The Burlington NO2 site was not in operation in 2002; however was put back in operation for 2003 where it continues to operate. During the period of 1996 to 2000, the annual average NO2 concentrations ranged from 0.017 ppm to 0.018 ppm in Burlington. The five-year annual NO2 average trend in Burlington and Rutland ranged between 21% to 34% of the NAAQS. In 2004, the maximum one-hour concentration of NO2 recorded at Burlington and Rutland was 0.067 ppm and 0.059 ppm, respectively.
0 Sulfur Dioxide In 2004, Vermont maintained two sulfur dioxide (SO 2) monitoring sites in Burlington and Rutland. No exceedance or violation of the NAAQS for sulfur dioxide was recorded. The Burlington NO2 site was not in operation in 2003; however was put back in operation for 2004. The highest 24-hour average concentrations of S02 in Burlington and Rutland in 2004 were 0.013 and 0.044 ppm, respectively. The highest 1-hour average SO 2 concentrations.at Burlington and Rutland were 0.016 and 0.076 ppm, respectively. The annual average of 0.005 ppm in Rutland for 2004 is 17% of the NAAQS. For compliance purposes, the annual second maximum 24-hour average of 0.030 ppm is 21%
of the NAAQS for Rutland. The annual second maximum 3-hour average of 0.063 ppm is 13% of the NAAQS for Rutland. Five years (2000-http://www.anr.state.vt.us/air/Monitori ng/htrrV2005AnnualR eport.htm 12/15/2006

What are the Health and Environmental Effects of Motor Vehicle Emissions?
Because motor vehicles re so common and so widely used, humnans ate continuously exposed to air pollution from motor vehicles.
Motor vehicles ane the largest soutce oftoxic and carcinogenic air pollutants in Vermont. Each year, motor vehicles emit about 2 million pounds of toxic and car-cinogenic compounds like benzene, fosisaldehyde, mid 13-Butadiene.
Motor vehicles ate the largest source (about 65%) of ozone-forming pollutants in Vertmont. Each year vehicles eni it over.
234 millionpounds of carbon monoxide, 20 million pounds ofhydro-carbois, and 28 million pounds ofnitrogen oxides.
As industries have reduced their emissions, motor vehicles have become an increasing portion ofthe air pollution cteated in Vemnsont.
on his/her car. This equals 935 pounds ofcarbon monox-ide, 13,600 pounds ofcarbon dioxide, 114 pounds of hydrocarbons, mid 68 pounds of nitrogen oxides emitted every year That's nearly 7.5 tons of air pollution each year, froht just one vehicle!

Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides ftsont motor vehi-cles form smog (ground-level ozone), which damages lung tissueand aggravates respiratory disease.
Children aid theelderly are especially vulnerable to smog. Acconling to the American Lung Association of Venriont, nearly 200,000 children and elderly Vernon-ters are frequently exposed to undhealthy levels of sisog.
Smog heist notor vehicles inhibitsplait growth and can cause widespread dattage to crops aid forests.
Air pollution tfom motor vehicles contributes to the fonnation of acid raim md global warming.

Hichard Emon - Air Pollution Control in Vermont-Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles.pdf Page2ý What Can Be Done to Reduce Motor Vehicle Emissions?
ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION The most effective way toreduce emissions from motor vehicles is to use thet less. The trend ofmooe cars driving mote miles is starting to outpace the progress in vehicle emission control technology. Carpool, take a bus ortrain, ride abike, walk-every effort helps.
MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance of motor vehi-cles is critical to pollution prevention. FoIlowing mainte-ounce guidelines can reduce vehicle emissions wnd en-hance vehicle perloemance and reliability.
INSPECTIONS A well designed vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program is a practical mid cost-effective way to seduce air pollution feom vehicles cutrently in use.
CLEAN CARS Advances in vehicle emission con-trol technology are making it possible to produce new vehicles with lower emissions. Electric vehicles, some-times refered to as "zero-emission vehicles," ate gaining attention as an option for improving air quality.
CLEAN FUELS New fuel blends and alternative fuels have the potential trproduce less air pollution and greenhouse gases than conventional fuels.
Carpool!
Doing your part Ifyou have todrive, these simple rules will help you minimize emissions:
Keep tites inlflated to required pressure and front end aligned.
Follow ttanufact*rers ntaitntenance schedule - espe-cially regatding tune ups and oil chasges.
Drive sensibly. Avoid jack rabbit starts mitd stops.
Wamnt upyour car -evet incold weather -by driving it. Idling for long periods incold weather can actually donrsae your engine.
Don't let your car idle unnecessarily (30 seconds or less). Avoid driveup service windows!
Avoid high speeds. You will get 15% better mileage driving 55 tuph versus 65 mph.
Higher emissions means lower engine efficiency and lower miles per gallon, which costs you $$$.

OVERVIEW
Richard Emch--ompliance Guidance for Industrial Process HRefrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pda Pacle 6 ii l
A.
OVERVIEW Purpose The purpose of this guidance is to explain portions of the August 8, 1995, amendments to the leak repair provisions of the refrigerant recycling regulations (hereafter refered to as "the amendments") and assist those affected by these amendments in complying with them. The original refrigerant recycling regulations were published on May 14, 1993 (58 FR 28660). The amendments were issued by EPA on August 8, 1995, and became effective on September 7, 1995. The amendments make important changes to the leak repair rules and readers familiar with the original rule should review the amendments and this guidance carefully.
Intended Audience This guidance is intended for those persons who are responsible for their company or organization complying with the amendments.
This may include plant engineers, maintenance supervisors, or maintenance technicians.
What the Guidance Covers This guidance is focused on aspects of the amendments relevant to industrial process refrigeration systems. All refrigeration systems, including industrial process refrigeration, are subject to various requirements of the refrigerant recycling regulations. Therefore, you should also read the amendments and other pertinent sections of those regulations.
What the Guidance Does Not Cover This guidance does not discuss:
requirements for other types of refrigeration equipment; or
" provisions for federal facilities; or
" other aspects of the refrigerant recycling regulations (for example, equipment certification or rules for recovering or recycling refrigerant); or
" disposal of appliances containing ozone-depleting substances.
This guidance does not explain HOW to do everything required or permitted by the amendments, such as how to perform a leak test using an ultrasonic leak detector. The guidance assumes that its readers are properly trained in the various actions it describes.
If you are not sure how to do what the guidance recommends, consult with knowledgeable personnel in your company or organization.
A-1
{RichardErmch-Compliance Guidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pdf Page 7'1 Compliance with the portions of the refrigerant recycling regulations that are not covered by this guidance are very important. Severe penalties can be imposed for violation of these regulations. You should seek appropriate assistance if you have any questions regarding provisions of the regulations not covered here. The guidance contains a list of references, Module K, containing information on those provisions.
Compliance The policies set out in this document are not final agency action, but are intended solely as interpretive guidance. The guidance should not be used to replace the amendments; rather, it is intended as a supplement to explain their practical requirements. Compliance with this guidance generally should result in compliance with those aspects of the amendments that it covers.
Varying from the guidance does not necessarily mean that you will be in violation of the amendments.
If you have any questions about whether or how you can depart from the guidance refer to the amendments, consult with counsel, or call the EPA Stratospheric Ozone Information Hotline (see next page).
How To Use the Guidance This guidance is organized by modules. Each module is a discrete section that covers an important aspect of the amendments.
Although the modules are intended to be free-standing, we recommend that you review the entire document initially to understand the interrelationshi ps of the amendments' various parts. Once you understand the various compliance options that the amendments present, the modules can be used as independent references.
Throughout the guidance, you will find words in italics. The italicized words are defined in the glossary (Module J). In each module, a Question and Answer section is provided to help clarify confusing issues or to answer commonly asked questions.
This guidance contains flow charts that illustrate the compliance options of the amendments. A simplified version follows at the end of this module. A more detailed version is contained in its entirety as an appendix at the end of this guidance document, showing, in detail, all the decision points and possible paths to follow to comply with the amendments.

You should understand two important issues UP FRONT:
- 1. The amendments contain several alternative pathways you can follow. Each one of these pathways has deadlines that are triggered by various actions. Once you start down one pathway, you may not be able to switch to another. UNDERSTAND the associated time frames before you choose a course of action.
- 2. The amendments require you to notify EPA of various events. UNDERSTAND these before you start, so you can make the appropriate notification(s) at the required time(s).
For More Information Module K is a list of references containing more information about the amendments and the refrigerant recycling regulations generally.
EPA operates a Stratospheric Ozone Information Hotline that provides information about ozone protection regulations and requirements under Title VI of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The Hotline also serves as a distribution center and point of referral for an array of information pertaining to other general aspects of stratospheric ozone protection and depletion.
Number:
800-296-1996 Hours of Operation:
10:00 a.m. - 4 p.m. Eastern time, Mondays to Fridays, excluding holidays.
Background
The amendments pertain to the leak repair provisions of EPA's refrigerant recycling regulations. The refrigerant recycling regulations were called for by Congress as part of Title VI of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Title VI, entitled Stratospheric Ozone Protection, is generally directed toward eliminating the threat posed to the earth's protective stratospheric (or high-level) ozone layer by certain ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). Section 608 of the Act calls on EPA to publish rules regarding the use, recycling, and disposal of ODS in various applications, including industrial process and commercial refrigeration systems.
The original EPA rules on this subject (sometimes referred to within industry as the "no-venting rule") were published on May 14, 1993 (58 CFR. 28660).
Several amendments have been made to the rule; please see Module K, References, for a complete list of the current amendments.

APPLICABILITY
RichardoEmch - ComplianceGuidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration LeakRepair Reqgulations.pdf Page 12'1 In this guidance document, the term "systems" is used to refer to refrigeration appliances and equipment.
B.
APPLICABILITY Affected Operations Industrial process refrigeration is defined as complex, customized systems used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and manufacturing industries. These systems are directly linked to the industrial process. This sector also includes industrial ice machines, appliances used directly in the generation of electricity, and ice rinks. (see Glossary) The amendments refer to "appliances" and "equipment," but this guidance refers to "systems"-
the term more commonly used in the industry.
The refrigerant recycling rule applies to systems that contain and use a class I or class II substance as a refrigerant.
Class I refrigerants are mostly chlorofluorocarb on (CFC) refrigerants or any refrigerant mixture containing a CFC.
Class II refrigerants are hydrochloro-fluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants or any refrigerant mixture containing an HCFC.
NOTE: If you are not sure whether you have a class I or class II refrigerant,, refer to the lists in 40 CFR, Part 82, Subpart A, Appendices A and B or call your refrigerant supplier.
Applicability Triggers The leak repair requirements of this regulation are triggered when an owner or operator of an industrial process refrigeration system discovers that refrigerant is.

Leak repair provisions, of this EXEMPTION regulation do NOT affect systems S OR normally containing 50 pounds or EXCLUSIONS less of refrigerant.
Trigger Rates For all systems that have a refrigerant charge of more than 50 pounds:
SYSTEM RATE comnmnercial refrigeration 35%
industrial process refrigeration 35%
Comfort cooling 15%
All other refrigeration 15%

For example, refrigerant refrigerant. What is an independent may flow from a compressor to other components, such refrigerant circuit?
as heat exchangers and evaporators, and back to the compressor. Most refrigeration systems have only one refrigerant circuit. A minority of systems have two or more refrigerant circuits that are completely isolated from each other (i.e., they are designed to avoid mingling refrigerant from one circuit with refrigerant from another circuit). These are independent refrigerantcircuits.

FULL CHARGE
Hichard _mch - Uoompliance Uuidance tor Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair ReguUations.pdf.
Page 16.l You MUST know the full charge of your refrigeration system.
You MUST use an acceptable method.
C.
FULL CHARGE The full charge is the amount of refrigerant necessary for an industrial process refrigeration system, to operate at normal operating characteristics and conditions. There are two reasons why you need to know how much refrigerant is in the full charge for a system:
- 1. The leak repair requirements of this law do not apply to any system whose fiull charge'is 50 pounds or less of refrigerant in any independent refrigerant circuit.
- 2. To calculate the leak rate for a system, you need to know the full charge (see Module D for more information on leak rates).
To determine the full charge, you must use one of the following methods:
- a. Measure the refrigerant. For example, draw the refrigerant from the system and weigh it. Or, you can measure how much refrigerant you put into an empty system to fully charge it.
- b. Calculate the weight of the refrigerant charge in the system.
- c. Use the manufacturer's information. Some manufacturers specify the amount of refrigerant in the full charge for a system, either on a plate attached to the system or in specifications (or vendor literature).
- d. Establishrange. If you know the system functions properly within a range of refrigerant amounts, use the midpoint of that range. Special recordkeeping requirements apply if this method is used alone or in combination with other methods. (See Module G for more information on recordkeeping).
- e.
Combinations of a through d. For example, suppose you have a system that consists of two If you use method a, b, or c, it is recommended that you document (and are able to show) how you determined the full charge, although it is not specifically required.
If you use method d, you are required to document how you determined the full charge.
If you use method e, you are not required to keep records unless you incorporate method d.
C-I
+/-Rich!ard Emch - Compliance Guidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pdf Paae 17"1 components connected by pipe or tubing. The length of the pipe or tubing varies from one installation to another. As a result, the manufacturer has specified how much refrigerant is in a fill charge for the two components, but NOT for the pipe or tubing. You may calculate how much refrigerant is in the length of pipe or tubing for your system, and then add that amount to the manufacturer's estimates for the two components.
QUESTIONS ANSWERS Should I be concerned about the Yes, but EPA recognizes that there is some margin of margin of error in determining the error in any determination of the amount of refrigerant in full charge?
a system. If you have made your determination based on the best information available and sound professional judgment, the full charge number is acceptable.
If the manufacturer's statement of Do not use the manufacturer's statement of the full charge the full charge is wrong, what if you know it is incorrect. -
should I do?
Sometimes a manufacturer's statement of the full charge is incorrect. For example, a system may have been customized by adding more components. Or additional refrigerant may be used because the system is operating under conditions that the manufacturer did not anticipate. In some cases, the manufacturer may simply have goofed, and it is obvious that the full charge is much larger or smaller than the manufacturer said. If the manufacturer has obviously goofed, choose one of the other acceptable methods to determine the full charge.
The manufacturer's information may, however, still have some use. For example, if you have customized a system by adding components, you may be able to calculate the amount of refrigerant in those components and add it to the manufacturer's estimated charge for the original system.
Am I allowed to change the full Yes, you may change the fidl charge number if you charge number? If I change it, obtain new and better information. No, you do not have should I recalculate all my leak to recalculate any previously determined leak rates.

REPAIR RETROFIT RETIRE D.
LEAK RATE Each time you add refrigerant to a system normally containing 50 pounds or more of refrigerant (see Module C),
you should promptly calculate the leak rate. If the leak rate is higher than the trigger rate, you are required to do one of the following:
- a. Repair leaks (see Module E);
- b. Retrofit the system (see Module F); or
- c. Retire the system from service (see Module F).
Calculating a Leak Rate Presented below is one way of calculating a leak rate.
Facilities can use other methods, e.g., rolling averages.
- 1. Take the number of pounds of refrigerant you added to return the system to a full charge and divide it by the number of pounds of refrigerant in the normal full charge for the system.
i-rn mm,,,
-Eu,,11
- lbs refrigerant added
- lbs refrigerant in normal full charge
- 2. Take the number of days that have passed between charges (that is, how many days between the last time refrigerant was added and this time refrigerant was added) and divide by 365 (the number of days in a year).
- days since refrigerant last added 365 days
- 3. Take the number you determined in step 1 and divide it by the number you determined in step 2.
- 4. Multiply the number you determined in step 3 by 100 (to calculate a percentage).
Another way of expressing this is with the following formula:
LEAK RATE %
p=[
ounds of refrigerant addd X[.
]
365 days x
100 pounds of Full charge
- days since refrigerant last added 13-1
icnaro E-_mcn - uomplance uuiciance tor Industrial -rocess Her~qerationLeak Hepai.Regulations.pdf Page 201 The result is the leak rate, expressed in the percent offidl charge that would be lost per 12-month period.
In some complicated situations, other calculations may also be appropriate.
For example, if a known amount of refrigerant was removed intentionally and put back into the system, then that amount should not be counted as a "leak".
The four-step approach described above, however, will give the correct leak rate in ordinary situations.
Timing After refrigerant is added, you should calculate the leak rate as soon as you can. If the system is leaking above the trigger rate, the law imposes strict deadlines for repairing the leaks or retrofitting or retiring the system (see Modules E and F). For example, if you wait three days to determine the leak rate, there will be three less days available to solve the problem.
Purged Refrigerant In calculating the leak rate, you may exclude purged refrigerant that is destroyed.
A destruction efficiency of at least 98 percent is required, and there are monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements (see Module G for more information On recordkeeping and reporting).
Recordkeeping/Re porting If you are the Keep records that show:
OWNER OR OPERATOR:
- 1. The date and type of service;
- 2.
How much refrigerant was added; and
- 3. The date when the refrigerant was added.
It may be required and is always advisable to keep records of the fitll charge and leak rate.
For additional recordkeeping requirements, see Module G, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements.

The annual charge and is allowed a 35 leak rate is the amount of refrigerant that would leak out percent leak rate, I don't have in a 12-month period if you did nothing about it. For to fix leaks until 35 pounds of example, suppose you know your system lost 4 pounds of refrigerant have leaked out, refrigerant in January, and you discovered the losses by right?
adding refrigerant on the first day of February. At a leak rate of 4 pounds per month, the system would lose 48 pounds of refrigerant in a 12-month period (48 percent of the full charge ), so you are already under a deadline to promptly repair the leaks or retrofit or retire the system. You do NOT get to walt until 35 pounds of refrigerant have already leaked out before you start figuring out how to solve the problem.

LEAK REPAIR
Richard Emch - Compliance Guidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pdf Page 2411 E.
LEAK REPAIR IDECIS ION POI NT'I Repair Retrofit or Ret I re Leak Repair Requirement If a system is leaking above the trigger rate, leak repairs are required within 30 days of discovery. Repairs must bring the annual leak rate below the trigger rate. See Module B, Applicability, for more information on trigger rates. A leak repair timeline is presented on page E-7.
Leak repairs are not required if you retrofit or retire the system (see Module F).
Certain activities require a certified technician, see page E-6 for more details.
Situations Where More Than 30 Days Are Allowed There are situations where additional time may be permitted as discussed below. Also, see Module H, System Mothballing.
Industrial Process Shutdown When an industrial process shutdown is needed to repair leaks from industrial process refrigeration systems, a 120-day repair period (rather than a 30-day period) is allowed.
Unavailable Repair Parts or Other Regulations That Require Additional Time Additional time (beyond the 30- or 120-day time periods) is allowed to conduct leak repairs if the necessary repair parts are unavailable or if other applicable federal, state, or local regulations make a repair within 30 or 120 days impossible. EPA must be notified per 40 CFR 82.166(n) if repairs cannot be completed within 30 or 120 days of discovery. Only the additional time needed to receive delivery of the necessary parts or comply with the pertinent regulations will be permitted.
NOTE:
In the recycling regulations, &vacuate" means to remove refrigerant from a system It is comparable to the term "recover," which is a word commonly used in the refrigeration field.
Evacuate is not used in these amendments in its technical sense of removing moisture or inerts from a system E-1
Hicnard Emch - Uompliance Guidance for Industrial Process FRefrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pdf Page 25 !1 Repair Verification:
A new feature of the amendments is a requirement to verify the success of leak repairs (when leak repairs are required) for industrial process refrigeration systems.
Two tests, called "initial" and "follow-up" verification tests are required for each repair site. A successful test verifies that a leak has been repaired.
What are these tests for?
The primary purpose of the initial verification test is to verify that a leak or leaks have been repaired before refrigerant is added back to the system. Even when the system is not evacuated to complete repairs, initial and follow-up verification tests are required. The primary purpose of the follow-up verification test is to re-verify that repairs continue to hold after the system is returned to its normal operating characteristics or conditions.
Initial Verification Test An initial verification test must be conducted following any leak repairs. A refrigeration system may not be brought back on line (if it has been taken off line), unless a) an initial verification test indicates that repairs have been successfully completed or b) a decision to retrofit or retire is made. The initial verification test must be conducted before the replacement of the full charge of refrigerant in systems (or isolated portions of systems) from which the refrigerant has been evacuated. In systems that have not been evacuated, the initial verification test must be conducted as soon as practicable after the repair work is completed.
Hicflard
!m, c
ornpliance UndUlancetorIndustrial Process Hetrigeration Leak HepairHegulations.pdft Page.6j Follow-up Verification Test A follow-up verification test must be conducted:
within 30 days after the initial verification test, where normal operating characteristics or conditions have been maintained; or within 30 days of bringing the system back on line, if taken off line, and where the system is operating at normal operating characteristics or conditions.
Exception: In certain cases the results of a follow-up verification test may be less reliable if the test is conducted at normal operating characteristics or conditions. For example, repairs made to leaks inside heat exchangers would not normally be accessible after the system is operating. In this kind of situation, based on sound professional judgment, the follow-up verification test may be conducted prior to returning to normal operating characteristics or conditions. However, the follow-up verification test must be conducted at or near the normal operating pressure where practicable, and at or near the normal operating temperature where practicable.
Initial and Follow-up Verification Test Methods Initial and follow-up verification tests may use any method that meets sound professional judgment. Test examples include, but are not limited to:
A soap bubble test; or Electronic leak detectors; or Ultrasonic leak detectors; or A pressure test; or SA vacuum test; or A fluorescent dye and black light test; or An infrared test; or A near infrared (back scatter absorption gas imaging) test; or Halon refrigerant gas detection methods.

Hicnaral mcn - uompliance Louldance tor industrial arocess Hetrigeration LeaK Hepair Hegulations.pdt Page 27_ij EPA Notification Notify EPA per 40 CFR 82.166(n) within 30 days after completion of any verification test where a time extension is utilized (see Module G).
Unsuccessful Tests If you have an unsuccessful follow-up verification test, you must notify EPA and develop a retrofit or retirement plan within 30 days of the failed test. If it is going to take you more than one year you must also submit the plan (see Module F). If the follow-up verification test indicates that the repairs to the system have not been successfully completed, the owner or operator is required retrofit or retire the system. However, there are some options where the owner or operator is relieved of the obligation to retrofit or retire the system (see Module F).

Repair Retrofit or Retire EXCEPTION:
If you switched from repair to retrofit or refire, you must notify EPA within 30 days from the day you switch.
However, you are still under the 12-month period provision from the ti the leak was discovered.
ne Owners or operators of commercial refrigeration equipment, industrial process refrigeration systems, and/or all other systems normally containing more than 50 pounds of refrigerant are not required to repair leaks if they develop, implement, and complete a 12-month retrofit or retirement plan. Three conditions, however, must be met:
- 1. The retrofit or retirement plan must be developed within 30 days of detecting the leak and a copy must be kept on site; and
- 2.
The plan must be dated and the original made available for EPA inspection upon request; and
- 3. Retrofit or retirement activities must be.
completed within a 12-month period of the plan's date.
Time Extensions for Retrofit or Retirement of Industrial Process Refrigeration Systems Additional time beyond the initial 12-month period to complete retrofit or retirement activities is available to owners or operators of industrial process refrigeration systems if any of the following circumstances occur:
- a.
A delay is caused by the requirements of other applicable federal, state, or local regulations.
In this case, additional time to the extent reasonably necessary will be allowed; or
- b.
A suitable replacement refrigerant is not available.
In this case, additional time to the extent reasonably necessary will be allowed; or
- c.
The unit is custom-built and the supplier of the system or a critical component has quoted a delivery time of more than 30 weeks from when the order is placed. In this case, an additional 12-month period is allowed. To receive this extension, you must notify EPA within six More time may be available.

months of the expiration of the 30-day period.
If the owner or operator of a custom-built industrial process refrigeration system has received an additional 12-month period for retrofit or retirement activities, but still requires more time to complete the retrofit or retirement (beyond the additional time already allowed),
then a request for additional time may be submitted to EPA.
Even MORE TIME may be available!
If you think you qualify for additional time, you must notify EPA. See Module G, Recordkeeping and Reporting, for more information.
Relief From Obligation to Retrofit or Retire As mentioned in the leak repair module, sometimes a failed follow-up verification test can result in a requirement to retrofit or retire a system. You may be relieved of this requirement if either of the following efforts is successful:
If you think the situation in bullet #2 will apply, you will need to tell EPA how you will make the determination in your submission to EPA notifying them of the failed follow-up verification test.
(The amendment refers to this as providing oarameters. I The parameters you submit will be considered acceptable unless EPA notifies you within 30 days. Otherwise, you must use parameters that EPA provides.
- 1. Make second efforts to repair the same leaks that were the subject of the first repair attempt.
Repairs must be completed within 30 days of the failed test (120 days where the repair requires an industrial process shutdown). Second repairs are subject to the same verification requirements as the first efforts (i.e., initial and follow-up verification tests). If the second follow-up verification test is successful, EPA must be notified per 40 CFR 82.166(n) within 30 days of its completion and the owner or operator is no longer required to retire or retrofit the system.
- 2.
Within 180 days of a failed follow-up verification test associated with the initial repair efforts, establish that the leak rate is below the trigger rate. Within 30 days after that determination, send a new notification telling EPA that you are now below the trigger rate (see Module G).

Retrofit or Retirement (Industrial Process Refrigeration)
If you complete successful retrofit or retirement within the normal one-year period, the amendments do not require any new recordkeeping or reporting. However, you are still required to develop and maintain, on-site, a retrofit or retirement plan.
The amendments have some additional requirements for situations where you need an extension of time to complete the retrofit or retirement, and for situations where you are relieved of the duty to retrofit or retire a system. These are described below.
I. If you are completing your retrofit or retirement within the 12-month period, you must:
maintain the retrofit or retirement plan on-site; and

No, the law does not require recordkeeping for the following scenarios:
If you are below the trigger rate, you do not need to maintain or submit records (except the normal servicing records required by the original refrigerant recycling regulations).
If you repair a leak within 30 or 120 days (if applicable) of discovery, you are required to perform verification tests but are not required to submit records.
If you are above the trigger rate and require an extension, you must maintain and submit records.
Do I always need to maintain records and submit information to retrofit or retire industrial process refrigeration systems?
Yes and no. If you can retrofit or retire the affected system within a 12-month period, records must be maintained, but information does not need to be submitted to EPA. In this case, the owners or operators must develop a 12-month retrofit or retirement plan within 30 days of discovering a leak rate higher than 35 percent. The plan, or a legible copy of the plan, must be kept at the site of the leaky system. The original must be available for EPA inspection on request. The plan must be dated and all work under the plan must be completed within a 12-month period of the plan's date.

SYSTEM MOTHBALLING System mothballing, for the purposes of these amendments, is the intentional shutdown of a refrigeration system for an extended period of time, where the refrigerant has been evacuated from the system to at least atmospheric pressure.
These amendments recognize that when a refrigeration system is in a mothballed condition, refrigerant leaks that existed when the system was operating have effectively been stopped because the system has been evacuated.
Therefore, the amendments allow the time-related requirements for repairing, retrofitting, or retiring a leaking system to be temporarily suspended while the system is mothballed. The time-related requirements resume on the day the system is brought back on line and is no longer considered mothballed.
Leak repairs following mothballing on industrial process refrigeration systems are still subject to initial and follow-up verification tests.
Applicability When a system is mothballed, the time suspensions are available for all types of systems, including commercial, industrial process, and any other systems containing more than 50 pounds of refrigerant. Time suspensions under system mothballing apply to all time-related requirements for repairing leaks or replacing, retrofitting, or retiring a system, including time extensions that may be allowed in specific circumstances for industrial process refrigeration systems.
Example of System Mothballing If a comfort-cooling system with over 50 pounds of refrigerant has a leak rate of more than 15 percent per 12-month period, the leak or leaks must be repaired within 30 days of discovery or the system must be retrofitted or retired within a 12-month period. However, if after discovery of the exceedance of the leak rate, the owner of the system voluntarily mothballs the system for a period Important Note:
System motliballing requires the refrigerant to be removed from the system toat leastatmospheric pressure If the owner or operator intends to make repairs to the system that require opening the systerm, the refrigerant must be removed to the required evacuation levels for that refrigerant before the system is opened.

For example, if the system operated for five days after discovery of the exceedance of the leak rate and then was shut down and mothballed for two months, when the system returned to operating, the owner would still have 25 days to either repair the leaks or develop a 12-month retrofit or retirement plan.

.1.
Is the deadline for verification testing suspended while a system is mothballed? For example, if I have an industrial process refrigeration system with a leak rate above the trigger rate, and I fix the leaks while the system is mothballed, may I continue to keep the system mothballed for four more months without performing verification tests?
Yes. All deadlines are suspended during mothballing.
In the example you have given, initial verification tests could be performed at any time before bringing the system on-line. Follow-up verification tests are not required, and usually are not allowed, while the system is mothballed.
If the repairs fail initial verification tests, you are allowed to continue your repair efforts while the system is still mothballed. However, the repairs must pass initial verification tests before the system is brought on-line, unless you plan to retrofit or retire the system. When you bring the system out of a mothballed state, the deadline for performing follow-up verification tests would begin. In the example you have given, you would have up to 30 days to perform those tests.
Please remember that, if you have evacuated the system only to atmospheric pressure during mothballing, a deeper vacuum will generally be required before you open the mothballed system to perform repairs.

EPA requires a reduction in pressure prior to an oil change so that the bulk of the refrigerant is recovered. The maximum pressure allowed is 5 psig. This greatly reduces refrigerant emissions while still allowing a slight positive pressure to force the oil from the compressor.
There are two acceptable procedures to assure recovery of refrigerant:
- 1. Evacuate (or pressurize) the refrigeration system, or isolated portion, to a pressure no higher than 5 psig and then remove the oil; or
- 2. Drain the oil into a system receiver to be evacuated (or pressurized) to a pressure no higher than 5 psig.
These procedures minimize the loss of refrigerant from:
a) the oil, and b) the interior of the refrigeration system as the oil comes out. EPA allows a slight positive pressure to help expel the oil.
NOTE: Changing oil at higher than 5 psig is considered a violation of the prohibition against knowingly venting a refrigerant.
NOTE: The refrigerant recycling amendments generally do not permit the use of nitrogen to pressurize low pressure systems or receivers.

GLOSSARY The glossary provides important terms used in this guidance.
Any device that contains and uses a class I or class 1I substance as a refrigerant and is used for household, commercial, or industrial purposes, including any air conditioner, refrigerator, chiller, or freezer. Essentially any sort of cooling equipment that uses a class I or class II substance as a refrigerant is an "appliance."
Most Class I substances are usually chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). A complete listing of class I substances can be found at 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart A, Appendix A.
Class 11 substances are hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). A complete listing of class II substances can be found at 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart A, Appendix B.
Refrigeration appliances utilized in the retail food and cold storage warehouse sectors. Retail food includes the refrigeration equipment found in supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, and other food service establishments. Cold storage includes the equipment used to store meat, produce, dairy products, and other perishable goods.
A component without which an industrial process refrigeration system will not function, will be unsafe in its intended environment, and/or will be subject to failures that would cause the industrial process served by the system to be unsafe.
The system or any of its critical components cannot be purchased and/or installed without being uniquely designed, fabricated, and/or assembled to satisfy a specific set of industrial process conditions.

Richard Emch - Uompliance Guidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair Regulations.pdf Paqe 53 l1 EPA 300-B-95-010 Follow-up verification test Full charge Those tests that involve checking the repairs within 30 days of returning the system to normal operating characteristics or conditions. Follow-up verification tests for equipment from which the refrigerant charge has been evacuated means a test conducted after the system or portion of the system has resumed operation at normal operating characteristics or conditions of temperature and pressure, except in cases where sound professional judgment dictates that these tests will be more meaningful if performed prior to the return to normal operating characteristics or coriditions. A follow-up verification test for a system that has not been evacuated means a reverification test conducted after the initial verification test and usually within 30 days of normal operating conditions. Where a system is not evacuated, it is only necessary to conclude any required changes in pressure, temperature, or other conditions to return the system to normal operating characteristics or conditions.
The amount of refrigerant required for normal operating characteristics or coniditions of industrial process refrigeration systems and certain federally-owned appliances as determined using one or a combination of the following four methods:
I. Using the system manufacturer's determination ofthe correct full charge for the system;
- 2. Determining the full charge by appropriate calculations based on component sizes, density of refrigerant, volume of piping, and all relevant considerations;
- 3. Using actual measurements of the amount of refrigerant added or evacuated from an industrial process refrigeration system; and/or
- 4. Using an established range based on the best available data, regarding the normal operating characteristics and conditions for the system, where the midpoint of the range will serve as the full charge and where records are maintained in accordance with 40 CFR 82.166 (q).

These systems are directly linked to the industrial process. This sector also includes industrial ice machines, appliances used directly in the generation of electricity, and ice rinks. Where one appliance is used for both industrial process refrigeration and other applications, it will be considered an industrial process refrigeration system if 50 percent or more of its operating capacity is used for industrial process refrigeration.
An industrial process or facility temporarily ceases to operate or manufacture whatever is being produced at the facility.
Those leak tests that are conducted as soon as practicable after the repair is completed. If the system or isolated portion is evacuated, it means a test conducted prior to replacing of the full refrigerant charge and before the system or portion of the system has reached operation at normal operating characteristics or conditions of temperature and pressure. An initial verification test conducted without the evacuation of the refrigerant charge means a test conducted as soon as practicable after the completion of the repair work.
Temperatures, pressures, fluid flows, speeds, and other characteristics that would normally be expected for a given process load and ambient condition during operation. Normal operating characteristics or conditions are marked by the absence of atypical conditions affecting the operation of the refrigeration system.
Any service, maintenance, or repair on an appliance that would release class I or class I1 refrigerant from the appliance to the atmosphere unless the refrigerant were recovered previously from the appliance. Connecting and disconnecting hoses and gauges to and from the appliance to measure pressures within the appliance and to add refrigerant to or recover refrigerant from the appliance shall not be considered "opening."

Require the repair of substantial leaks in air-condition ing and refrigeration equipment with a charge of greater than 50 pounds.
z Establish safe disposal requirements to ensure removal of refrigerants from goods that enter the waste stream with the charge intact (e.g., motor vehicle air conditioners, home refrigerators, and room air conditioners).
The Prohibition on Venting Effective July 1, 1992, Section 60 of the Act prohibits individuals from knowingly venting ozone -dedletina compounds (generally CFCs and HCFCs) used as refrigerants into the atmosphere while maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of air-condition ing or refdgeration equipment (appliances ). Only four types of releases are permitted under the prohibitidn:
- 1. "De minimis" quantities of refrigerant released in the course of making good faith attempts to recapture and recycle or safely dispose of refrigerant.
- 2.
Ref rigerants emitted in the course of normal operation of air-conditioning and refrigerat ion equipment (as opposed to during the maintenance, servicing, repair, or disposal of this equipment) such as from mechanical purging and leaks. However, EPA requires the repair of leaks above a certain size in large equipment (see Refrigerant Leaks).
- 3.
Releases of CFCs or HCFCs that are not used as refrgerants. For instance, mixtures of nitrogen and R-22 that are used as holding charges or as leak test gases may be released, because in these cases, the ozone-depleting compound is not used as a refrigerant. However, a technician may not avoid recovering refrigerant by adding nitrogen to a charged, system; before nitrogen is added, the system must be evacuated to the appropriate level in Table
- 1. Otherwise, the CFC or HCFC vented along with the nitrogen will be considered a refrigerant. Similarly, pure CFCs or HCFCs released from appliances will be presumed to be refrigerants, and their release will be considered a violation of the prohibition on venting.
- 4.
Small releases of refrigerant that result from purging hoses or from connecting or disconnecting hoses to charge or service appliances will not be considered violations of the prohibition on venting. However, recovery and recycling equipment manufactured after November 15, 1993, must be equipped with low-loss fittings.
Regulatory Requirements Service Practice Requirements
- 1. Evacuation Requirements Since July 13, 1993, technicians have been required to evacuate air-conditioning and refrigerat ion equipment to established http://www.e pa.gov/ozone/title6/ 608/608fact.html 12/15/2006

If the technician's recovery or recycling equipment was manufactured any time before November 15, 1993, the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment must be evacuated to the levels described in the first column of Table 1. Ifthe technician's recovery or recycling equipment was manufactured on or after November 15, 1993, the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment must be evacuated to the levels described in the second column of Iable 1, and the recovery or recycling equipment must have been certified by an EPA-approved equipmen t testing organization. Persons who
- simply add refrigerant to (top-off) appliances are not required to evacuate the systems.
Technicians repairing small appliances, such as household refrigerators, window air conditioners, and water coolers, must recover:
80 percent of the refrigerant when z the technician uses recovery or recycling equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993, or z the compressor in the appliance is not operating; OR 90 percent of the refrigerant when z the technician uses recovery or recycling equipment manufactured after November 15, and z the compressor in the appliance is operating In order to ensure that they are recovering the correct percentage of refrigerant, technicians must use the recovery equipment according to the directions of its manufacturer. Technicians may also satisfy recovery requirements by evacuating the small appliance to four inches of mercury vacuum.
- 2. Exceptions to Evacuation Requirements EPA has established limited exceptions to its evacuation requirements for 1) repairs to leaky equipment and 2) repairs that are not jaio and that are not followed by an evacuation of the equipment to the environment.
If, due to leaks, evacuation to the levels in Table 1 is not attainable, or would substantia Ily contaminate the refrigerant being recovered, persons opening the appliance must:
z isolate leaking from non-leaking components wherever possible; z evacuate non-leaking components to the levels in Table 1; and z evacuate leaking components to the lowest level that can be attained without substantially contaminating the refrigerant. This level cannot exceed 0 psig.

z be evacuated to at least 0 psig before it is opened if it is a high-or very high-pressure appliance; or be pressurized to 0 psig before it is opened if it is a low-pressure appliance. Methods that require subsequent purging (e.g., nitrogen) cannot be used except with appliances containing R-113.
- 3. Reclamation Requirement EPA has also established that refrigerant recovered and/or recycled can be returned to the same system or other systems owned by the same person without restriction. If refrigerant changes ownership, however, that refrigerant must be reclaimed (i.e., cleaned to the ARI 700-1993 standard of purity and chemically analyzed to verify that it meets this standard) unless the refrigerant was used only in a motor vehicle air conditioner (MVAC) or MVAC -like apoliance and will be used in the same type of appliance. (Refrigerant used in MVACs and MVAC-like appliances is subject to the purity requirements of the MVAC regulations at 40 CFR Part 82 Subpart B.) EPA updates theJjlstf reclaimers as new companies are added.
Equipment Certification The Agency has established a certification program for refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment. Under the program, EPA requires that manufacturers or importers of refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment manufactured on or after November 15, 1993, have their equipment tested by an EPA-approved testing organization to ensure that it meets EPA requirements. Equipment intended for use with air-conditioni ng and refrigeration appliances must be tested under EPA requirements based upon the ARI 740 test protocol (i.e., EPA Appendices B and B1 to 40 CFR 82 subpart F). Recycling and recovery equipment intended for use with small appliances must be tested under EPA Appendix C or altematively under requirements based upon the ARI 740 test protocol (i.e., Appendices B and B1 to 40 CFR 82 subpart F).
The Agency requires recovery efficiency standards that vary depending on the size and type of air-conditioning or refrigeration equipment being serviced. For recovery and recycling equipment intended for use with air-conditi oning and refrigeration equipment besides small appliances, these standards are the same as those in the second column of Table 1. Recovery equipment intended for use with small appliances must be able to recover 90 percent of the refrigerant in the small appliance when the small appliance compressor is operating and 80 percent of the refrigerant in the small appliance when the compressor is not operating.
EPA has approved both the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) [*iii) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
(1.2 MB Microsoft Word document) to certify recycling and recovery equipment. Certified equipment can be identified by a label reading: 'This equipment has been certified by ARI/UL to meet EPA's minimu m requirements for recycling http://www.e pa.gov/ozone/title6/ 608/608fact.html 12/15/2006

Lists of certified equipment may be obtained by contacting ARI at 703-524-8800 and UL at 708-272-8800 ext.
42371.
Equipment Grandfathering Equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993, including home-made equipment, may be grandfathered if it meets the standards in the first column of Table 1. Third-party testing is not required for equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993, but equipment manufactured on or after that date, including home-made equipment, must be tested by a third-party (Equipment Certification ).
Refrigerant Leaks Owners of equipment with charges of greater than 50 pounds are required to repair leaks in the equipment when those leaks together Would result in the loss of more than a certain percentage of the equipment's charge over a year. For the commercial and industrial process refrigeration sectors, leaks must be repaired when the appliance leaks at a rate that would release 35 percent or more of the charge over a year. For all other sectors, including comfort cooling, leaks must be repaired when the appliance leaks at a rate that would release 15 perc ent or more of the charge over a year.
The trigger for repair requirements is the current leak rate rather than the total quantity of refriger ant lost. For instance, owners of a commercial refrigeration system containing 100 pounds of charge must repair leaks if they find that the system has lost 10 pounds of charge over the past month; although 10 pounds represents only 10 percent of the system charge in this case, a leak rate of 10 pounds per month would result in the release of over 100 percent of the charge over the year. To track leak rates, owners of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment with more than 50 pounds of charge must keep records of the quantity of refrigerant added to their equipment duri ng servicing and maintenance procedures.
Owners are required to repair leaks within 30 days of discovery.
This requirement is waived if, within 30 days of discovery, owners develop a one-year retrofit or retirement plan for the leaking equipment. Owners of industrial process refrigeration equipment may qualify for additional time under certain circumstances. For example, if an industrial proces s shutdown is required to repair a leak, owners have 120 days to repair the leak. Owners of leaky industrial process refrigerati on equipment should see the Compliance Assistance Guidance Document for Leak Repair (available from the hotline) for additional information conceming time extensions and pertinent recordkeeping and reporting requirements. EPA anticipates putting this document on the web site, but does not have an esti mated date for when that will happen.

Technician Certification EPA has established a technici an certification program for persons ("technicians") who perform maintenance, service, repair, or disposal that could be reasonably expected to release refrigerants into the atmosphere. The definit ion of "technician" specifically includes and excludes certain activities as follows:
Included:
attaching and detaching hoses and gauges to and from the appliance to measure pressure within the appliance; adding refrigerant to (for example 'topping-off") or removing refrigerant from the appliance z any other activity that violates the integrity of the MVAC -like aeoliances, and small appliances.
In addition, aporentices are exempt from certification requirements provided the apprentice is closely and continually supervised by a certified technician.
The Agency has developed four types of certification:
- 1. For servicing small appliances (Type I).
- 2.
For servicing or disposing of high-or very high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and MVACs (Type II).
- 3.
For servicing or disposing of low-pressure appliances (Type Ill).
- 4.
For servicing all types.of equipment (Universal).
Technicians are required to pass an EPA -acoroved test given by an EPA aooroved certifvino oraanization to become certified under the mandatory program. Section 608 Technician Certification credentia Is do not expire.
Refrigerant Sales Restrictions Since November 14, 1994, the sale of refrigerant in any size container has been restricted to technicians certified either under the program described in Technician Certification above or under EPA's motor vehicle air conditionina reaulations.The sales restriction covers refrigerant contained in bulk containers (cylinders or drums) and pre-charged parts.
The restriction excludes refrigerant contained in refrigerators or air conditioners with fully assembled refrigerant circuits (such as household refrigerators, window air conditioners, and packaged air conditioners), pure HFC refrigerants (such as R-134a), and CFCs or HCFCs that are not intended for use as refrigerants. In addition, a restriction on sale of pre-charged split systems has been stayed (suspended) while EPA reconsiders this provision.
Under Section 609 of the Clean Air Act, sales of CFC-12 in containers smaller than 20 pounds are restricted solely to http://www.e pa.gov/ozone/title6/ 608/608fact.html 12/15/2006
Richard Emch - Gomp/ying wi ith the Seciton 608 Retrigerant Recyc1ing R u!e.pdf Page 7 U.S. EPA: Section 608 Rule Summary Page 7 of 11 technicians certified under EPA's motor vehicle air-conditioning regulations (i.e., Section 609 certified technicians). Technicians certified under EPA's stationary refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment (i.e., Section 608 certified technicians) may buy containers of CFC-12 larger than 20 pounds.
Section 609 technicians are only allowed to purchase refrigerants that are suitable for use in motor vehicle air-conditi oners. Effective September 22, 2003, EPA has restricted the sale of ozone-depleting refrigerants, approved for use in stationary refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, to Section 608 certified technicians. Therefore, the sale of ozone-depleti ng refrigerants (such as HCFC-22) that are approved for use in stationary equipment but not for use in motor vehicle air-conditioners is restricted to Section 608 certified technicians.
More detailed information is available in an EPA fact sheet titled "The Refrigerant Sales Restriction."
Certification by Owners of Recycl ing and Recovery Equipment EPA requires that persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equi pment certify to the appropriate EPA Regional Office that they have acquired (built, bought, or leased) recovery or recycling equipment and that they are complying with the applicable requirements of this rule. This certification must be signed by the owner of the equipment or another responsible officer and sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. A sample form for this certification is attached.
Although owners of recycling and recovery equipment are required to list the number of trucks based at their shops, they do not need to have a piece of recycling or recovery equipment for every truck. Owners de not have to send in a new form each time they add recycling or recovery equipment to their inventory.
Reclaimer Certification Reclaimers are required to return refrigerant to the purity level specified in ARI Standard 700-1993 (an industry-set purity standard) and to verify this purity using the laboratory protocol set forth in the same standard. In addition, reclaimers must release no more than 1.5 percent of the refrigerant during the reclamation process and must dispose of wastes properiy. Reclaimers must certify to the Section 608 Recycling Program Manager at EPA headquarters that they are complying with these requirements and that the information given is true and correct. Certification must also include the name and address of the reclaimer and a list of equipment used to reprocess and to analyze the refrigerant.
EPA encourages reclaimers to participate in a voluntary third-party reclaimer certification program operated by the AL-Conditionina and Refriaeration Institute (ARI) fExIT Disolai-
. The voluntary program offered by ARI involves quarterly testing of random samples of reclaimed refrigerant. Third-party certification can enhance the attractiveness Of a reclaimer's product by providing an objective assessment of its purity. EPA maintains a list of aporoved reclaimers that is available from the hotline. In http://www.e pa.gov/ozone/title6/ 608/608fact.htrml 12/15/2006

U.S. EPA: Section 608 Rule Summary Page8 of 11 addition, a checklist helps prospective reclaimers provide appropriate information for EPA to review.
MVAC-Iike Appliances Some of the air conditioners that are covered by this rule are identical to motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs), but they are not covered by the MVAC refrigerant recycling rule (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart B) because they are used in vehicles that are not defined as "motor vehicles." These air conditioners include many systems used in construction equipment, farm vehicles, boats, and airplanes. Like MVACs in cars and trucks, these air conditioners typically contain two or three pounds of CFC-12 and use open-drive compressors to cool the passenger compartments of vehicles. (Vehicle air conditioners utilizing HCFC-22 are not included in this group and are therefore subject to the requirements outlined above for HCFC-22 equipment.) EPA is defining these air conditioners as "MVAC-like appliances" and is applying the MVAC rule's requirements for the certification and use of recycling and recovery equipment to them. That is, technicians servicing MVAC-like appliances must "properiy use" recycling or recovery equipment that has been certified to meet the standards in Appendix Ato 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart B. In addition, EPA. is allowing technicians who service MVAC-like appliances to be certified by a certification program approved under the MVAC rule, if they wish.
More detailed information is presented in an EPA fact sheet titled Servicino Farm and Heavy-Duty Eouioment Safe Disposal Requirements Under EPA's rule, equipment that is typically dismantled on-site before disposal (e.g., retail food refrigeration, ;central residential air conditioning, chillers, and industrial process refrigeration) has to have the refrig erant recovered in accordance with EPA's requirements for servicing. However, equipment that typically enters the waste stream with the charge intact (e.g., motor vehicle air conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers, and room air conditioners) is subject to special safe disposal requirements.
Under these requirements, the final person in the disposal chain (e.g., a scrap metal recycler or landfill owner) is responsible for ensuring that refrigerant is recovered from equipment before the final disposal of the equipment. However, persons "upstream" can remove the refrigerant and provide documentation of its removal to the final person if this is more cost-effective. If the final person in the disposal chain (e.g., a scrap metal recycler or landfill owner) accepts appliances that no longer hold a refrigerant charge, that person is responsible for maintaining a signed statement from whom the appliance/s is being accepted. The signed statement must include the name and address of the person who recovered the refrigerant,, and the date that the refrigerant was recovered, or a copy of a contract stating that the refrigeran t will be removed prior to delivery. EPA does not mandate a sticker as a form of verification that the refrigerant has been removed prior to disposal of the appliance. Such stickers do not relieve the final disposer of their responsibility to recover any remaining refrigerant in the http://www.e pa.gov/ozone/title6/ 608/608fact.htm15 12/15/2006

The equipment used to recover refrigerant from appliances prior to their final disposal must meet the same performance standards as equipment used prior to servicing, but it does not need to be tested by a laboratory. This means that self-built equipment is allowed as long as it meets the performance requirements. For MVACs and MVAC-like appliances, the performance requirement is 102 mm of mercury vacuum and for small appliances, the recovery equipment performance requirements are 90 percent efficiency when the appliance compressor is operational,. and 80 percent efficiency when the appliance compressor is not operational.
Technician certification is not required for individuals removing refrigerant from appliances in the waste stream.
The safe disposal requirements went into effect on July 13, 1993.
Equipment must be registered or certified with the Agency. A sample form is available.
Major Recordkeeping Requirements Technicians servicing appliances that contain 50 or more pounds of refrigerant must provide the owner with an' invoice that indicates the amount of refriger ant added to the appliance.
Technicians must also keep a copy of their proof of certification.at their place of business.
Owners of appliances that contain 50 or more pounds of refrigerant must keep servicing record s documenting the date and type of service, as well as the quantity of refrigerant added.
Wholesalers who sell CFC and HCFC refrigeran ts must retain invoices that indicate the name of the purchaser, the date of sale, and the quantity of refrigerant purchased.
Reclaimers must maintain records of the names and addresses of persons sending them material for reclamation and the quantity of material sent to them for reclamation. This information must be maintai ned on a transactional basis.
Within 30 days of the end of the calendar year, reclaimers must report to EPA the total quantity of material sent to them that year for reclamati on, the mass of refrigerant reclaimed that year, and the mass of waste products generated that year.
Hazardous Waste Disposal If refrigerants are recycled or recl aimed, they are not considered hazardous under federal law. In addition, used oils contaminated with CFCs are not hazardous on the condition that:
z They are not mixed with other waste.

z They are not mixed with used oils from other sources.
Used oils that contain CFCs after the CFC reclamation procedure, however, are subject to specificat ion limits for usdd oil fuels if these oils are destined for bum ing. Individuals with questions regarding the proper handling of these materials should contact EPA's RCRA Hotline at 800-4 24-9346 or 703-920-9810.
Enforcement EPA is performing random inspections, responding to tips, and pursuing potential cases against violators. Under the Act, EPA is authorized to assess fines of up to $32,500 per day for any violation of these regulations. Information on selected enforcement actions is available in the enforcement section.
If you wish to report a possible violation of the Clean Air Act, please file a complaint form or contact the Ozone Hotline at 800-29&-1996.
Planning and Acting for the Future Observing the refrigerant recycling regulations for Section 6W0 is essential in order to conserve existing stocks of refrigerants, as well as to comply with Clean Air Act requirements. However, owners of equipment that contai ns CFC refrigerants should look beyond the immediate need to maintain existing equipment in working order. EPA urges equipment owners to act now and prepare for the phaseout of CFC production and import, scheduled for January 1, 1996. Owners are advised to begin planning for conversion or replac ement of existing equipment with equipment that uses altemative refrigerants.
To assist owners, suppliers, technicians and others involved in comfort chiller arid commercial refrigeration management, EPA has published a series of short fact sheets and expects to produce additional material. Copies of material produced by the EPA Stratospheric Protection Division are available from the Stratospheric Ozone Information Hotline (see hotline number below).
For Further Information For further information concerning regulations related to stratospheric ozone protection, please call the Stratospheric Ozone Information Hotline: 1-800- 296-1996.

0 CLIMATE OVERVIEW.
Like other New England states, the climateof Vermontcan be described as changeable; with a large range of diurnal and annual temperatures;great differences between the same seasons in differentyears; and considerablediversityfromplace to place. Factors such as elevational differences, terrain variationsand distance from water bodies like Lake Champlain and the AtlanticOcean, have led to threeclimatological divisions across the state (Western, Northeastern and Southeastern).The Western division is a relativelynarrow band running thefull length of the state west of the Green Mountains. It is least affected by the Atlantic Ocean influences.The Northeastern division is the largest of the threeand includes the northeastern, north-centraland east-central parts of Vermontwith the exception off a narrow segment along the Connecticut River Valley in the east-central region. This latter segment is included in the Southeastern Division due to its lower elevation.
Windscome primarilyfromthe west, so that Vermontcan be said to lie in the "prevailingwesterlies". In winter, this is primarily a northwesterly flow that becomes southwesterlyduringthe summer. The local wind flow is influenced by the topographysuch that many areas have prevai I ing winds that b low parall el to a val ley. The contrasting air brought into the region by the westerlies interacts to produce Iow-pressurestormsysterns.
Relative to mostothersections of the country, a large numberof these storms pass overor near to Vermont.The air masses that affect the state tend to be a) cold, dry air fromthe North American subarctic, b) warm, moist air fromthe Gulf of Mexico and other subtropical waters, and c) cool, damp air from the North Atlantic Ocean. The pathways of the air masses passing through Vermontare constantlychanging so that the origins of ourair today maybe ver differentfromtomorrow.
There is no single controlling factor in the weather regime, but rather a variety of weather patterns. Thus, weather averages alone are usually insufficientfor important planning purposes. Typically, the movementof the above mentioned contrasting air masses and the relativelyf requent passage of low pressuresystems leads to a bi-weeklyalternation fromfairto cloudy or stormyconditions, often with abrupt changes in termperature, http://www.uvm.edu/- Idu pigny/sc/clirrateverrmnt.html 12/15/2006

Vermont weather is thereforechangeable, both on the short and long timescales. A given month or season will display varying-characteristics over the years, but a normal month or season tends to be the exception rather than the rule.
- TEMPERA TURE Average temperatures vary according to factors like the elevation, slope and local featuressuch as urbanization. As of 1994, the lowesttemperatureon record was -50 F on December30, 1933 at Bloomfield (elevation 915 feet). The highest temperatureon record of 105 F occurredat Vernon (elevation 310 feet) on July 4, 1911.
Summertemperaturestend to be uniformacross the state. The frequencyof days during which the maximum reaches at least 90 F varies with location and fromyear to year. Such high daytime readingscan be followed by nighttimetemperaturesof 60 F or lower.The average dailytemperaturerange is 20 -30 F, with morevariation observed in the southern parts of the state than the north.
Wintertemperaturesvary more than their summer counterpartsf romone place to the next. The dailytemperaturerange of about20 F is much less than the summer range. Many locations experiencesub-zero days on a regularbasis.
PRECIPITATION Precipitationis received throughoutthe year, although in the northern and western sections of the state the winter amounts are somewhat less than those observed during the summer. The influenceof the North Atlantic Ocean on the precipitation regimes is best observed in southeastern Vermont, becoming weaker with increasing distance fromthe ocean. Most of the precipitation is generated by frontal systems. During the summer, thunderstormsare responsiblefor the heaviest local rainfall intensities. Road washouts, flooding and soil erosion are occasional effects of such storms.
Freezing rain occasionally occurs, sometimes morethan once perwinterin certain regions. In January 1998, a widespread icing event took place across the northwestern part of Vermont, surrounding New England states and southernmost parts of threeCanadian provinces.Although 2.11 inches of rain were received on January 8,1998 at the peak of this ice storm, the record dailytotal stands at 8.77 inches on November 3-4, at Somersetcduring the 1927 flood.
SNOWFALL Yearlysnowfall totals vary exceptalong parts of theConnecticut River Valleyand the western division wheretypical values range from55 to 65 inches. Totals varydramatically with elevation overshort distances. Large differencesare also observed fromone season to the next, fromone location to the next as well as for the same month over differentyears.
During most winters, several snowstorms of 5 inches or moreare to be expected.
Blizzards of a variety of magnitudes have been observed, ranging fromthe Great http://www.uvm.edu/- ldu pigny/sc/clirmatevermont.html 12/15/2006

Other types of severe weather tend to be less common. Among these are tornadoes, with the most recent outbre* being observed near Bennington in June 1998. The most notabletornado occurred on June 23, 1782 which crossed the crossed the southern part of the state and entered New Hampshire near Weathersf ield.
