NR 665.1085 (3).
NR 665.1084(3)(b)

(c) If the owner or operator uses direct measurement to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure of a hazardous waste, the owner or operator shall do all of the following:
NR 665.1084(3)(c)1.
1. `Sampling.' Collect a sufficient number of samples to be representative of the waste contained in the tank. Collect and handle all samples according to written procedures prepared by the owner or operator and documented in a site sampling plan. The plan shall describe the procedure for collecting representative samples of the hazardous waste which minimizes loss of organics throughout the sample collection and handling process and maintains sample integrity. Maintain a copy of the written sampling plan on-site in the facility operating records. An example of acceptable sample collection and handling procedures may be found in Method 25D in Appendix A of
40 CFR part 60, both incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11.

40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11. Check each potential leak interface (i.e., a location where organic vapor leakage could occur) on the cover and associated closure devices. Potential leak interfaces that are associated with covers and closure devices include, but are not limited to, the interface of the cover and its foundation mounting, the periphery of any opening on the cover and its associated closure device and the sealing seat interface on a spring-loaded pressure relief valve.
NR 665.1084(4)(b)

40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11. In the case when the configuration of the cover or closure device prevents a complete traverse of the interface, sample all accessible portions of the interface. In the case when the configuration of the closure device prevents any sampling at the interface and the device is equipped with an enclosed extension or horn (e.g., some pressure relief devices), place the instrument probe inlet at approximately the center of the exhaust area to the atmosphere.

NR 665.1084(4)(i)
(i) For the seals around a rotating shaft that passes through a cover opening, compare the arithmetic difference between the maximum organic concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level with the value of 10,000 ppmw.

(2) (a) 1., as applicable to the tank.
NR 665.1085(3)(b)

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.
NR 665.1085(3)(c)
(c) Whenever a hazardous waste is in the tank, install the fixed roof with each closure device secured in the closed position except as follows:
