1124 Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions
4.0 Compliance Certification, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Requirements for Coating Sources
11/29/1994
4.1 To establish the records required under 4.0 of this regulation, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of each coating, as applied, and the efficiency of each capture system and control device shall be determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in Appendix B and Appendix D of this regulation.
4.2 Requirements for coating sources exempt from emission limitations. Any owner or operator of a coating unit, line, or operation that is exempt from the emission limitations of 10.0 through 23.0 of this regulation because combined VOC emissions from all coating units, lines, and operations at the facility are below the applicability threshold specified in the individual sections of this regulation, before the application of capture systems and control devices, shall comply with the following for each section of this regulation from which the owner or operator claims an exemption:
4.2.1 Certification. By November 15, 1993, the owner or operator of a facility referenced in 4.2 of this regulation shall certify to the Department that the facility is exempt from emission limitations by providing all of the following:
4.2.1.1 The name and location of the facility.
4.2.1.2 The address and telephone number of the person responsible for the facility.
4.2.1.3 A declaration that the facility is exempt from the emission limitations of 10.0 through 23.0 of this regulation because combined VOC emissions from all coating units, lines, and operations at the facility that are covered by an individual section of this regulation are below the appropriate applicability threshold before the application of capture systems and control devices.
4.2.1.4 Calculations of the daily-weighted average that demonstrate that the combined VOC emissions from all coating units, lines, and operations at the facility that are covered by an individual section of this regulation for a day representative of current maximum production levels are less than 6.8 kilograms (kg) (15 pounds [lb]) before the application of capture systems and control devices. The following equation shall be used to calculate total VOC emissions for that day:
(4-1)
where:
T = Total VOC emissions from coating units, lines, and operations at the facility before the application of capture systems and control devices in units of kg/day (lb/day).
n = Number of different coatings applied on each coating unit, each coating line, or each operation at the facility.
i = Subscript denoting an individual coating.
Ai = Mass of VOC per volume of coating (i) (excluding water and exempt compounds), as applied, used at the facility in units of kilograms VOC per liter (kg VOC/L) (pounds VOC per gallon [lb VOC/gal]).
Bi = Volume of coating (i) (excluding water and exempt compounds), as applied, used at the facility in units of liters per day (L/day) (gallons per day [gal/day]). The instrument or method by which the owner or operator accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating, as applied, used at the facility shall be described in the certification to the Department.
4.2.2 Recordkeeping. On and after November 15, 1993, the owner or operator of a facility referenced in 4.2 of this regulation shall collect and record all of the following information each day and maintain the information at the facility for a period of 5 years:
