Article 8 - VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND RULES
Rule 11 - Wood Furniture Coatings
Section 11-10 - Provisions for sources electing to use emissions averaging
Universal Citation: 326 IN Admin Code 11-10
Current through March 20, 2024
Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4
Affected: IC 13-12
Sec. 10.
(a) The owner or operator of the wood furniture manufacturing operation electing to comply with the emissions standards in section 3(a)(4) of this rule shall submit to the department for approval a plan addressing the following provisions:
(1) Program goals and rationale
as follows:
(A) Provide a summary of the
reasons why the wood furniture manufacturing operation would like to comply
with the emission limitation through the procedures established in section
3(a)(4) of this rule.
(B) Provide a
summary of how averaging can be used to meet the emission limitation.
(C) Document that the additional
environmental benefit requirement is being met through the use of the equations
in section 3(a)(4) of this rule. These equations ensure that the wood furniture
manufacturing operation achieves an additional ten percent (10%) reduction in
emissions when compared to wood furniture manufacturing operations using a
compliant coatings approach to meet the requirements of the rule.
(2) Program scope as follows:
(A) Include the types of finishing materials
that will be included in the wood furniture manufacturing operations' averaging
program.
(B) Stains, basecoats,
washcoats, sealers, and topcoats may be used in the averaging
program.
(C) Finishing materials
that are applied using continuous coaters may only be used in an averaging
program if the wood furniture manufacturing operation can determine the amount
of finishing material used each day.
(3) For program baseline, each finishing
material included in the averaging program shall be the lower of the actual or
allowable emission rate as of the effective date of this rule.
(4) Quantification procedures as follows:
(A) Describe how emissions and changes in
emissions will be quantified, including methods for quantifying usage of each
finishing material. Quantification procedures for VOC content are included in
section 7 of this rule.
(B)
Quantification methods used shall be accurate enough to ensure that the wood
furniture manufacturing operations' actual emissions are less than the
allowable emissions, as calculated using Equation 1 or 2 in section 3(a)(4) of
this rule, on a daily basis.
(5) Monitoring, record keeping, and reporting
as follows:
(A) Provide a summary of the
monitoring, record keeping, and reporting procedures that will be used to
demonstrate daily compliance with the equations presented in section 3(a)(4) of
this rule.
(B) Monitoring, record
keeping, and reporting procedures shall be structured in such a way that the
department and facility owners can determine a wood furniture manufacturing
operations' compliance status for any day.
(b) Pending approval by the department and the U.S. EPA of the proposed emissions averaging plan, the owner or operator shall continue to comply with the provisions of this rule.
