Illinois Administrative Code, Subpart II, Section 219.891 - Emission Limitations and Control Requirements | Illinois Administrative Code

a) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this Section, no owner or operator of a source subject to the requirements of this Subpart shall use a subject resin or gel coat at the source unless the resin and gel coat comply with subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2), (c), or (d) of this Section, as well as with subsections (e), (g), and (h) of this Section. For sources complying pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, if the non-monomer VOM content of a resin or gel coat exceeds 5 percent, by weight, the excess non-monomer VOM shall be added to the monomer VOM content of the resin or gel coat. The excess non-monomer VOM shall be calculated in accordance with the following equation:

Excess Non-Monomer VOM

=

Non-monomer VOM Content

- 5 percent, by weight

b) VOM Content Limitations

1) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this Section, the monomer VOM content of a subject resin or gel coat shall not exceed the following limitations:

							Weighted average monomer VOM content (weight percent)

A)			Production resin

				i)	Atomized spray	28

				ii)	Non-atomized	35

	B)			Pigmented gel coat		33

	C)			Clear gel coat		48

	D)			Tooling resin

				i)	Atomized	30

				ii)	Non-atomized	39

		E)		Tooling gel coat		40

2) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this Section, the weighted average monomer VOM content of a subject resin or gel coat shall not exceed the applicable limitation set forth in subsection (b)(1) of this Section on a 12-month rolling average basis. Equation 1 shall be used to determine the weighted average monomer VOM content for resin and gel coat materials.

Equation 1:

n	=	Number of different open molding resins or gel coats used in the past 12 months in an operation.

c) Emissions Averaging Alternative. The owner or operator of a source subject to the requirements of this Subpart may elect to include some or all of the subject resin and gel coat operations at the source in the emissions averaging alternative. Resin and gel coat operations utilizing the emissions averaging alternative shall comply with a source-specific monomer VOM mass emission limit on a 12-month rolling average basis, calculated at the end of each calendar month. All subject resin and gel coat operations that do not utilize the emissions averaging alternative shall comply with the requirements in subsection (b) or (d) of this Section, as well as with all other applicable requirements in this Section.

1) The owner or operator of a source subject to this subsection (c) shall use Equation 2 to determine the source-specific monomer VOM mass emission limit for resin and gel coats included in the emissions average:

The numerical coefficients associated with each term on the right hand side of Equation 2 are the allowable monomer VOM emission rates for that particular material in units of kg VOM/Mg of material used.

2) At the end of the first 12-month averaging period, and at the end of each subsequent month, the owner or operator of a source subject to this subsection (c) shall use Equation 3 to calculate the monomer VOM emissions from the resin and gel coat operations included in the emissions average. The monomer VOM emissions calculated using Equation 3 shall not exceed the monomer VOM limit calculated using Equation 2.

"VOM%" means the monomer VOM content as supplied, expressed as a weight percent value between 0 and 100 percent:

d) Capture System and Control Device Requirements. No owner or operator of a source subject to the requirements of this Subpart that is utilizing a capture system and control device for a subject resin or gel coat operation shall conduct that operation unless the following requirements are satisfied:

1) An afterburner or carbon adsorber is installed and operated that meets the limitations set forth in this subsection (d). The owner or operator may use an emissions control system other than an afterburner or carbon adsorber if that device complies with all limitations in this subsection (d), the owner or operator submits a plan to the Agency detailing appropriate monitoring devices, test methods, recordkeeping requirements, and operating parameters for the control device, and the plan is approved by the Agency and approved by USEPA as a SIP revision;

2) The VOM emissions at the outlet of the control device meet an emissions limitation determined using Equation 2 in subsection (c)(1) of this Section. In Equation 2, however, instead of using the mass of each material used over the past 12 months to determine the emission limitation, the owner or operator shall use the mass of each material used during the applicable control device performance test;

3) The owner or operator complies with all testing and monitoring requirements set forth in Section 219.892 of this Subpart.

e) Filled Resins. For all filled production and tooling resins, the owner or operator of a source subject to this Subpart shall adjust the monomer VOM emission rates determined pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section using Equation 5 in subsection (e)(3). If complying pursuant to subsection (b), the emission rate determined using Equation 5 shall not exceed the limitations set forth in subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this Section. If complying pursuant to subsection (c), the value of PVF, calculated using Equation 5, shall be used as the value of PVi in Equation 4, as set forth in subsection (c)(3) of this Section. If the non-monomer VOM content of a filled resin exceeds 5 percent, by weight, based on the unfilled resin, the excess non-monomer VOM shall be added to the monomer VOM content in accordance with the equation set forth in subsection (a).

1) Tooling Resin: 54 kg (119.1 lbs) monomer VOM/Mg filled resin applied;

2) Production Resin: 46 kg (101.4 lbs) monomer VOM/Mg filled resin applied;
