Sec. 7.
(a) The owner
or operator of a press that is subject to the add-on control requirements of
section 4(a) of this rule shall comply with the following:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate
temperature monitoring and recording equipment as follows:
(A) For catalytic oxidizer control systems,
the temperature monitoring and recording equipment shall monitor the gas
temperature upstream of the catalyst bed at least once every fifteen (15)
minutes by an analog or digital recording device. The catalyst bed material
shall be inspected annually for general catalyst condition and any signs of
potential catalyst depletion. The source shall also collect a representative
sample of the catalyst from the oxidizer, per manufacturer's recommendations,
and have it tested to evaluate the catalyst's capability to continue to
function at or above the required control efficiency. An evaluation of the
catalyst bed material shall also be conducted whenever the results of the
inspection indicate signs of potential catalyst depletion or poor catalyst
condition based on manufacturer's recommendations, but not less than once per
year.
(B) For thermal and
regenerative oxidizer control systems, the temperature monitoring and recording
equipment shall monitor and record the oxidizer operating temperature at least
once every fifteen (15) minutes.
(C) The temperature needed to achieve
compliance with the control systems described in clauses (A) and (B) shall be
established during testing which demonstrates compliance with the emission
standard. The temperature shall be computed as the time-weighted average of the
temperature values recorded during the test. The source must maintain the
oxidizer at a three (3) hour average temperature not less than fifty (50)
degrees Fahrenheit below the average temperature observed during the most
recent stack test which demonstrates continuous compliance. Temperature
monitoring is required only when a connected printing press is
operational.
(2) Collect
and record or maintain at the subject source for a period of five (5) years the
following information:
(A) The results of any
required stack test to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of section
6(a)(4) of this rule.
(B) The
operating parameters for any required control device as specified in
subdivision (1).
(C) A log or
record of any time when the control device or monitoring equipment, or both,
are not in operation when any associated press is in operation.
(b) The owner or
operator of a heatset web or sheet-fed offset lithographic printing press using
alcohol shall measure the following:
(1) The
VOC (alcohol) content, in accordance with section 6(b) of this rule, of any
altered fountain solution, at the time of alteration, in percent by weight, of
the fountain solution employed in the press using an hydrometer, as follows:
(A) A standard solution shall be used to
calibrate the hydrometer for the type of alcohol used in the fountain solution,
in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, against measurements
performed to determine compliance.
(B) The hydrometer must be corrected for
temperature at least once per eight (8) hour shift or once per batch of
fountain solution prepared or modified, whichever is longer.
For fountain solutions to which VOC containing material is
added at the source with automatic feed equipment, VOC content shall be
determined for the as-applied fountain solution based on the setting of the
automatic feed equipment that makes additions of VOC containing material up to
a pre-set level. The equipment used to make automatic additions must be
installed, calibrated, operated, and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer's specifications.
(2) The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit,
of the fountain solution, on a daily basis, as measured at the recirculating
tank, if the owner or operator refrigerates the fountain solution to comply
with the VOC content limit.
(c) The owner or operator of an offset
lithographic printing press shall maintain records for each batch of fountain
solution prepared for use in the press as follows:
(1) The volume and VOC content of each
concentrated alcohol substitute added to make the batch of fountain
solution.
(2) The volume of alcohol
added to make the batch of fountain solution.
(3) The volume of water added to make the
batch of fountain solution.
(4) The
calculated VOC content of the final mixed batch.
(5) The date and time the batch was
prepared.
(6) As an alternative to
the records required by subdivisions (1) through (5), an owner or operator may
maintain a recipe log that identifies all mix ratio recipes used to prepare the
as-applied fountain solution, as follows:
(A)
Records shall be maintained identifying the recipe used to prepare each batch
of fountain solution for use in the press, the date and time when the batch was
prepared, and a confirmation that the batch was prepared in accordance with the
recipe.
(B) Each recipe shall be
maintained in the mix ratio recipe log for a period of five (5) years from the
date the mix ratio recipe was last prepared. Each mix ratio recipe shall
clearly identify the following:
(i) The VOC
content of each concentrated alcohol substitute added to make the batch of
fountain solution, based upon the manufacturer's laboratory analysis using 40
CFR 60, Method 24*.
(ii) The
proportions in which the fountain solution is mixed, including the addition of
alcohol or water, or both. The proportion may be identified as:
(AA) a volume when preparing a discrete
batch; or
(BB) the settings when an
automatic mixing unit is employed.
(iii) The calculated VOC content of the final
mixed recipe.
(7) For fountain solutions containing alcohol
substitutes purchased with less than five percent (5%) VOC content before
dilution, the owner or operator may maintain a current MSDS with VOC content
determined by 40 CFR 60, Method 24* and does not need to keep records of VOC
dilution and addition.
(d) The owner or operator of a nonheatset web
offset lithographic printing press shall document all periods of time when
alcohol is used in the press's fountain solution and the amount of alcohol used
in each instance. The use of alcohol in fountain solutions for nonheatset web
offset lithographic printing presses is prohibited per 326 IAC
8-16-4(d)[section 4(d) of this rule].
(e) The owner or operator of an offset
lithographic printing press or letterpress printing press shall maintain
monthly records of the following information:
(1) The total amount, in gallons, of each
cleaning material used.
(2) The VOC
content or VOC composite vapor pressure of all cleaning material
used.
(3) The total amount, in
gallons, of each cleaning material used that exceed the allowable VOC content
or VOC composite partial vapor pressure.
(4) The total amount, in gallons, of all inks
used.
(f) An owner or
operator of a heatset web offset lithographic printing or heatset web
letterpress printing press that is exempt from the add-on control requirements
in section 4(a) of this rule shall maintain monthly records of the following
information:
(1) The total pounds of each ink
used.
(2) The VOC content of each
ink.
(3) The hours of operation of
each press.
(g) All
records required by this rule shall be maintained at the source for a period of
five (5) years.
