Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Testing to demonstrate compliance with the
requirements of Section
219.891
of this Subpart shall be conducted by the owner or operator by May 1, 2012.
Thereafter, testing shall be conducted within 90 days after a request by the
Agency, or as otherwise specified in this Subpart. The testing shall be
conducted at the expense of the owner or operator and the owner or operator
shall notify the Agency in writing 30 days in advance of conducting the testing
to allow the Agency to be present during testing.
b) Testing to demonstrate compliance with the
monomer VOM content limitations for resin and gel coat materials in Section
219.891(b)
of this Subpart shall be conducted upon request of the Agency, or as otherwise
specified in this Subpart, in accordance with SCAQMD 312-91, incorporated by
reference in Section
219.112
of this Part.
c) The owner or
operator of a source complying with this Subpart pursuant to Section
219.891(d)
shall comply with the following:
1) By May 1,
2012, or upon initial start-up, whichever is later, and upon start-up of a new
control device, conduct an initial performance test of the control device in
accordance with this subsection (c) that demonstrates compliance with the
emission limitation determined pursuant to Section
219.891(d).
2) Subsequent to the initial performance test
described in subsection (c)(1) of this Section, conduct at least one
performance test per calendar year. Performance tests used to demonstrate
compliance with Section
219.891(d)
shall be conducted at least six months apart, unless the performance test is
being conducted following an exceedance of operating parameters as described in
subsection (c)(3) of this Section, or per a request by the Agency.
3) Monitor and record relevant operating
parameters, including the control efficiency of the control device and the
amount of materials used in the fiberglass boat manufacturing process, during
each control device performance test used to demonstrate compliance with
Section
219.891(d).
The owner or operator shall continue to operate the fiberglass boat
manufacturing process within the parameters until another performance test is
conducted that demonstrates compliance with Section
219.891(d).
The owner or operator shall monitor the parameters at all times when the
control device is in operation. If the fiberglass boat manufacturing process
exceeds any operating parameter by more than 10 percent, the owner or operator
shall conduct additional performance testing in accordance with this Section
within 10 operating days after the exceedance;
4) The methods and procedures of Section
219.105(d) and
(f) shall be used for testing to demonstrate
compliance with the requirements of Section
219.891(d)
of this Subpart, as follows:
A) To select the
sampling sites, Method 1 or 1A, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, appendix A,
incorporated by reference at Section
219.112
of this Part. The sampling sites for determining efficiency in reducing VOM
from the dryer exhaust shall be located between the dryer exhaust and the
control device inlet, and between the outlet of the control device and the
exhaust to the atmosphere;
B) To
determine the volumetric flow rate of the exhaust stream, Method 2, 2A, 2C, or
2D, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, appendix A, incorporated by reference at Section
219.112
of this Part;
C) To determine the
VOM concentration of the exhaust stream entering and exiting the control
device, Method 25 or 25A, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, appendix A, incorporated
by reference at Section
219.112
of this Part. For thermal and catalytic afterburners, Method 25 must be used
except under the following circumstances, in which case Method 25A must be
used:
i) The allowable outlet concentration
of VOM from the control device is less than 50 ppmv, as carbon;
ii) The VOM concentration at the inlet of the
control device and the required level of control result in exhaust
concentrations of VOM of 50 ppmv, or less, as carbon; and
iii) Due to the high efficiency of the
control device, the anticipated VOM concentration at the control device exhaust
is 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, regardless of inlet concentration. If the source
elects to use Method 25A under this option, the exhaust VOM concentration must
be 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, and the required destruction efficiency must be
met for the source to have demonstrated compliance. If the Method 25A test
results show that the required destruction efficiency apparently has been met,
but the exhaust concentration is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, a retest is
required. The retest shall be conducted using either Method 25 or 25A. If the
retest is conducted using Method 25A and the test results again show that the
required destruction efficiency apparently has been met, but the exhaust
concentration is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, the source must retest again using
Method 25.
D)
Notwithstanding the criteria or requirements in Method 25, which specifies a
minimum probe temperature of 129°C (265°F), the probe must be heated to
at least the gas stream temperature of the dryer exhaust, typically close to
176.7 °C (350°F); and
E)
During testing, the fiberglass boat manufacturing operation shall be operated
at representative operating conditions and flow rates.
5) If an afterburner is used to demonstrate
compliance, the owner or operator shall:
A)
Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain temperature monitoring devices with
an accuracy of 3°C or 5°F on the emissions control system in accordance
with Section
219.105(d)(2)
of this Part and in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Monitoring shall be performed at all times when the emissions control system is
operating; and
B) Install,
calibrate, operate and maintain, in accordance with manufacturer's
specifications, a continuous recorder on the temperature monitoring devices,
such as a strip chart, recorder or computer, with at least the same accuracy as
the temperature monitor.
6) If a carbon adsorber is used to
demonstrate compliance, the owner or operator shall use Agency and USEPA
approved continuous monitoring equipment that is installed, calibrated,
maintained, and operated according to vendor specifications at all times the
control device is in use. The continuous monitoring equipment shall monitor the
VOM concentration of each carbon adsorption bed exhaust or the exhaust of the
bed next in sequence to be desorbed.
7) If an emissions control system other than
an afterburner or carbon adsorber is used to demonstrate compliance, the owner
or operator shall install, maintain, calibrate, and operate the monitoring
equipment as set forth in the owner's or operator's plan approved by the Agency
and USEPA pursuant to Section
219.891(d).
d) Testing to demonstrate
compliance with the VOM content limitations for cleaning solutions in Section
219.891(g)
of this Subpart, and with the non-monomer VOM content limitations for resin and
gel coat materials in Section
219.891(a)
of this Subpart, shall be conducted upon request of the Agency, or as otherwise
specified in this Subpart, as follows:
1) The
applicable test methods and procedures specified in Section
219.105(a)
of this Part shall be used; provided, however, Method 24, incorporated by
reference at Section
219.112
of this Part, shall be used to demonstrate compliance; or
2) For cleaning solvents, the manufacturer's
specifications for VOM content may be used if the manufacturer's specifications
are based on results of tests of the VOM content conducted in accordance with
methods specified in Section
219.105(a)
of this Part; provided, however, Method 24 shall be used to determine
compliance. In the event of any inconsistency between a Method 24 test and the
manufacturer's specifications, the Method 24 test shall govern.
e) The owner or operator of a
source subject to this Subpart and relying on the VOM content of the cleaning
solution to comply with Section
219.891(g)(1)
of this Subpart shall:
1) For cleaning
solutions that are prepared at the source with equipment that automatically
mixes cleaning solvent and water (or other non-VOM):
A) Install, operate, maintain, and calibrate
the automatic feed equipment in accordance with manufacturer's specifications
to regulate the volume of each of the cleaning solvent and water (or other
non-VOM), as mixed; and
B) Pre-set
the automatic feed equipment so that the consumption rates of the cleaning
solvent and water (or other non-VOM), as applied, comply with Section
219.891(g)(1);
2) For cleaning solutions that are
not prepared at the source with automatic feed equipment, keep records of the
usage of cleaning solvent and water (or other non-VOM) as set forth in Section
219.894(g)
of this Subpart.
f)
Testing to demonstrate compliance with the VOM composite partial vapor pressure
limitation for cleaning solvents set forth in Section
219.891(g)
of this Subpart shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable methods
and procedures set forth in Section
219.110
of this Part.
