Other gas detection systems must be calibrated and tested when a BOP stack is initially installed after a drill rig is set up or, if no BOP stack is required, when drilling or workover operations begin, when a commission-witnessed BOP test occurs, and no less frequently than once every 30 days. The operator shall maintain at the drill rig an accessible record of gas detection system tests and calibrations. (d) Upon request of the operator, the commission may (1) .waive the methane detection requirements of this section, if the commission determines that the configuration of the drilling or workover rig and any associated equipment and structures eliminates the potential for methane to accumulate; (2) allow the use of a single hydrogen sulfide sensor on site in place of the three sensing points required under (a)(3) of this section, if the commission determines that the configuration of the drilling or workover rig and any associated equipment and structures eliminates the potential for hydrogen sulfide to accumulate; 1 n Register , 200_ MISCELLANEOUS BOARDS (3) approve a variance from the requirements of this section if the variance provides at least an equally effective means of gas detection.
