NR 664.1083 (3). Thereafter, perform a new determination whenever changes to the hazardous waste managed in the tank could potentially cause the maximum organic vapor pressure to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than the maximum organic vapor pressure limit for the tank design capacity category specified in sub.
(2) (a) 1., as applicable to the tank.
NR 664.1084(3)(b)

1. Design the fixed roof and its closure devices to form a continuous barrier over the entire surface area of the hazardous waste in the tank. The fixed roof may be a separate cover installed on the tank (e.g., a removable cover mounted on an open-top tank) or may be an integral part of the tank structural design (e.g., a horizontal cylindrical tank equipped with a hatch).
NR 664.1084(3)(b)2.
2. Install the fixed roof in a manner such that there are no visible cracks, holes, gaps or other open spaces between roof section joints or between the interface of the roof edge and the tank wall.
NR 664.1084(3)(b)3.

1) During periods when it is necessary to provide access to the tank for performing the activities of subd. 3. b.2), venting of the vapor headspace underneath the fixed roof to the control device is not required, opening of closure devices is allowed and removal of the fixed roof is allowed. After completing the activity, promptly secure the closure device in the closed position or reinstall the cover, as applicable, and resume operation of the control device.
2) During periods of routine inspection, maintenance or other activities needed for normal operations, and for removal of accumulated sludge or other residues from the bottom of the tank.
NR 664.1084(3)(b)4.
4. Make the fixed roof and its closure devices of suitable materials that will minimize exposure of the hazardous waste to the atmosphere, to the extent practical, and will maintain the integrity of the fixed roof and closure devices throughout their intended service life. Factors to consider when selecting the materials for and designing the fixed roof and closure devices shall include organic vapor permeability, the effects of any contact with the hazardous waste or its vapors managed in the tank, the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture and sunlight and the operating practices used for the tank on which the fixed roof is installed.

2. Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, conservation vent or similar type of pressure relief device which vents to the atmosphere is allowed during normal operations for the purpose of maintaining the tank internal pressure according to the tank design specifications. Design the device to operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed position. Establish the settings at which the device opens such that the device remains in the closed position whenever the tank internal pressure is within the internal pressure operating range determined by the owner or operator based on the tank manufacturer recommendations, applicable rules, fire protection and prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices or other requirements for the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive or hazardous materials. Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these devices to open are during those times when the tank internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure operating range for the tank as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient temperature fluctuations.
NR 664.1084(3)(c)3.
3. Opening of a safety device, as defined in s.
NR 665.1081, is allowed at any time conditions require doing so to avoid an unsafe condition.
