Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Exemptions for all coating categories
except wood furniture coating. The limitations of this Subpart shall not apply
to coating lines within a source, that otherwise would be subject to the same
subsection of Section
218.204
(because they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided
that combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to
that subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of
capture systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a
source would not be subject to the limitations of Section
218.204(b)
of this Subpart if the combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating
lines never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture
systems and control devices.) Prior to May 1, 2012, volatile organic material
emissions from heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be
combined with VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating
lines to determine applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from
heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM
emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic
parts and products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or
operator of a coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis
test methods and procedures specified in Section
218.105(a)
of this Part and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in
Section
218.211(a)
of this Subpart if total VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are
always less than or equal to 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of
capture systems and control devices and, therefore, are not subject to the
limitations of Section
218.204 of
this Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the
limitations in Section
218.204 of
this Subpart the coating lines are always subject to the limitations in Section
218.204 of
this Subpart.
b) Applicability for
wood furniture coating
1) The limitations of
this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture coating lines if the
source contains process emission units, not regulated by Subparts B, E, F
(excluding Section
218.204(l)
of this Subpart), H (excluding Section
218.405
of this Part), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section
218.486 of
this Part), V, X, Y, or BB of this Part, which as a group both:
A) Have a maximum theoretical emissions of 91
Mg (100 tons) or more per calendar year of VOM if no air pollution control
equipment were used; and
B) Are not
limited to less than 91 Mg (100 tons) of VOM per calendar year if no air
pollution control equipment were used, through production or capacity
limitations contained in a federally enforceable permit or SIP
revision.
2) The
limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture coating
lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process emission
units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25 tons) or more of
VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to less than 22.7 Mg (25
tons) of VOM per calendar year through production or capacity limitations
contained in a federally enforceable operating permit or SIP revision, and
that:
A) Are not regulated by Subparts B, E,
F (excluding Section
218.204(l)
of this Subpart), H, Q, R, S, T (excluding Section
218.486 of
this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part; and
B) Are not included in any of the following
categories: synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI)
distillation, SOCMI reactors, plastic parts coating (business machines),
plastic parts coating (other), offset lithography, industrial wastewater,
autobody refinishing, SOCMI batch processing, volatile organic liquid storage
tanks and clean-up solvents operations.
3) If a source ceases to fulfill the criteria
of subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this Section, the limitations of Section
218.204(l)
of this Subpart shall continue to apply to any wood furniture coating line
which was ever subject to the limitations of Section
218.204(l)
of this Subpart.
4) For the
purposes of subsection (b) of this Section, an emission unit shall be
considered to be regulated by a Subpart if it is subject to the limitations of
that Subpart. An emission unit is not considered regulated by a Subpart if it
is not subject to the limits of that Subpart, e.g., the emission unit is
covered by an exemption in the Subpart or the applicability criteria of the
Subpart are not met.
5) Any owner
or operator of a wood furniture coating line to which the limitations of this
Subpart are not applicable due to the criteria in subsection (b) of this
Section shall, upon request by the Agency or the USEPA, submit records to the
Agency and the USEPA within 30 calendar days from the date of the request that
document that the coating line is exempt from the limitations of this
Subpart.
c) On and after
March 15, 1996, the limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to touch-up and
repair coatings used by a coating source described by Section
218.204(b), (d), (f), (g),
(i), and (q)(5) of this Subpart; provided
that the source-wide volume of such coatings used does not exceed 0.95 1 (1
quart) per eight-hour period or exceed 209 1/yr (55 gal/yr) for any rolling 12
month period. Recordkeeping and reporting for touch-up and repair coatings
shall be consistent with subsection (e) of this Section.
d) Prior to May 1, 2012, the limitations of
this Subpart shall not apply to touch-up and repair coatings used by a coating
source described by Section
218.204(j),
(n), and (o) of this Subpart, provided that
the source-wide volume of the coatings used does not exceed 0.95 l (1 quart)
per eight-hour period or exceed 209 l/yr (55 gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month
period. Recordkeeping and reporting for touch-up and repair coatings shall be
consistent with subsection (e) of this Section.
e) On and after March 15, 1996, the owner or
operator of a coating line or a group of coating lines using touch-up and
repair coatings that are exempted from the limitations of Section
218.204(b), (d), (f), (g),
(i), (j), (n), (o), and (q)(5) of this
Subpart because of the provisions of subsection
218.208(c) or
(d) of this section shall:
1) Collect and record the name,
identification number, and volume used of each touch-up and repair coating, as
applied on each coating line, per eight-hour period and per month;
2) Perform calculations on a daily basis, and
maintain at the source records of such calculations, of the combined volume of
touch-up and repair coatings used source-wide for each eight-hour
period;
3) Perform calculations on
a monthly basis, and maintain at the source records of such calculations, of
the combined volume of touch-up and repair coatings used source-wide for the
month and the rolling 12 month period;
4) Prepare and maintain at the source an
annual summary of the information required to be compiled pursuant to
subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this Section on or before January 31 of the
following year;
5) Maintain at the
source for a minimum period of three years all records required to be kept
under this subsection (e) and make such records available to the Agency upon
request;
6) Notify the Agency in
writing if the use of touch-up and repair coatings at the source ever exceeds a
volume of 0.95 l (1 quart) per eight-hour period or exceeds 209 l/yr (55
gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month period within 30 days after any such
exceedance. Such notification shall include a copy of any records of such
exceedance; and
7) "Touch-up and
repair coatings" means, for purposes of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.208, any coating
used to cover minor scratches and nicks that occur during manufacturing and
assembly processes.
