NAC445A.425. Process components in existence on September 1, 1989: Standards; additional monitoring.

     1. A process component in existence on September 1, 1989, is not required to meet more stringent engineering containment standards during the design life of that component if the applicant can demonstrate that:

     (a) The process component meets and will continue to meet its design criteria; and

     (b) There have been no significant changes in the characteristics of the material to be contained by the process component which would increase the potential to degrade the waters of the State.

     2. Upon issuing a permit for a process component in existence on September 1, 1989, the Department may require additional monitoring of the site to verify that the conditions of this section are being met. A process component found to have had releases of process fluid as a result of this monitoring must comply with the requirements of NAC 445A.441.
