Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024

This Appendix contains limitations for purposes of determining compliance with the requirements in Section 218.212 of this Part. A source must establish that, at very least, each participating coating line used for purposes of cross-line averaging meets the Federal Implementation Plan level of VOM content, as listed below. The emission limitations for participating coating lines that must not be exceeded are as follows:

a)

kg/l

lb/gal

1)

Prime coat

0.14

(1.2)

2)

Primer surface coat

1.81

(15.1)

(Note: The primer surface coat limitation is in units of kg (lbs) of VOM per l (gal) of coating solids deposited. Compliance with the limitation shall be based on the daily-weighted average from an entire primer surface operation. Compliance shall be demonstrated in accordance with the topcoat protocol referenced in Section 218.105(b) and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 218.211(f). Testing to demonstrate compliance shall be performed in accordance with the topcoat protocol and a detailed testing proposal approved by the Agency and USEPA specifying the method of demonstrating compliance with the protocol. Section 218.205 does not apply to the primer surface limitation.)
