Recommendation: Add the words “annual” and “semiannual” to the definitions section in 280.12.
Significance: Currently, one could argue that annual is once per calendar year instead of once every 12 months. If this is not addressed, a regulated facility could conduct an annual test of their leak detection system in January of 2012 and again in December 2013 (essentially a 23 month gap), while still claiming compliance.
Suggested edits to 280.12:
Annual means at least once every 12 months.
Semiannual means at least once every 24 months.
