Reasons for Exemption
A portable thermal oxidizer will be used for the project. The Class 30 exemption is not valid if an onsite thermal treatment unit is used except for small scale treatment systems that are permitted by the local Air Pollution Control District (APCD). The portable thermal oxidizer will be permitted and regulated by the Santa Barbara County APCD, will be small scale, and will be used on a short term basis. The entire project will be one month and the portable thermal oxidizer will be used for 3 to 5 days. The project is consistent with the Class 30 exemption. The decommissioned tanks will be cleaned therefore preventing any potential future releases of hazardous materials.
