Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
A.
Source applicability.This
Chapter applies to all new and existing surface coating facilities under the
following surface coating categories:
(1)
Surface coating of cans;
(2)
Surface coating of fabric;
(3)
Surface coating of vinyl;
(4)
Surface coating of metal furniture;
(5) Surface coating of flatwood paneling;
and
(6) Surface coating of
miscellaneous metal and plastic parts and products.
B.
Testing and recordkeeping
applicability.The owner or operator of a surface coating unit, line or
operation subject to this chapter shall comply with the testing and compliance
procedures in Section 6, Test Methods and Compliance Procedures, and the
certification and recordkeeping requirements in Section 7, "Initial Compliance
Certification and Recordkeeping Procedures", both of this chapter.
C.
Emission limitations
applicability
(1) Any surface coating
unit, line or operation under categories 1 through 3, as specified in
Subsection 1(A) above and within this chapter, whose maximum theoretical
emissions of VOC from all coating units, lines or operations at the surface
coating facility under the same surface coating category are ten (10) tons VOC
per 12 month rolling period or greater, shall comply with the applicable
emission limitations under Section 4 of this chapter.
(2) Any surface coating unit, line or
operation under categories 4 through 6 as specified in Subsection 1(A) above
and within this chapter, whose total actual emissions of VOC from all coating
units, lines, or operations at the surface coating facility under the same
surface coating category are 2.7 tons per 12 month rolling period or greater,
shall comply with the applicable emission limitations under Section 4 of this
chapter.
D.
Changes in applicability.Any surface coating unit, line or
operation that becomes or is currently subject to these provisions under
Subsection 1(C) of this chapter remains subject to the provisions, even if its
emissions later decrease, except that any source which has reduced its actual
VOC emissions below the applicability threshold established under Subsection
1(C) shall be exempt from the applicable emissions limitations established
under Section 4 of this chapter, provided that both of the following conditions
are met:
(1) The owner or operator can
demonstrate that the actual VOC emissions occurring in the consecutive 12-month
period after said reduction was implemented were no more than 80% of the
relevant applicability threshold; and
(2) The owner or operator accepts an
enforceable permit containing restrictions which limit the combined actual VOC
emissions, during any 12-month period from the source or all process operations
associated with a specific classifiable process, below 80% of the relevant
applicability threshold.
If the source's emissions later increase to greater than 80%
of the applicability threshold during any consecutive 12 month period, then the
facility must immediately comply with the emission limitations of Section 4 of
this chapter.
E.
Exemptions.The following surface coating operations are exempt
from the requirements of this chapter:
(1)
Coating units, lines or operations whose total actual coatings usage from all
coating units, lines or operations at the surface coating facility under the
same surface coating category is less than 50 gallons per 12 month rolling
period of coatings. Non-VOC coatings (such as zinc-arc, Ultra Violet, powder,
or vapor curecoatings) are excluded when calculating compliance with this
exemption;
(2) Facilities
exclusively utilizing powder coatings or other non-VOC methods of coating are
exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
(3) Surface coating of the following:
(a) Exterior of completely assembled
aircraft,
(b) Major aircraft
subassemblies which are exposed to the exterior of the aircraft,
(c) Automobile, light-duty truck, and heavy
duty truck refinishing,
(d)
Exterior of completely assembled marine vessels, and
(e) Major marine vessel subassemblies which
are exposed to the exterior of the vessel;
(4) Coating units, lines or operations
subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Surface Coating Processes. Sections
:
(a) "National Emissions Standards for
Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities" as published in 40 CFR 63,
Subpart GG, as amended up to July 1, 2014;
(b) "National Emission Standards for
Pollutants for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating) Operations" as
published in 40 CFR 63, Subpart II as amended up to July 1, 2014; or
(c) "National Emission Standards for Wood
Furniture Manufacturing" as published in 40 CFR 63, Subpart JJ, as amended up
to July 1, 2014; and
(5)
Any facility with a permit issued under Subsection (1)(D).
F.
Applicable testing methods and
compliance procedures.The testing methods and compliance procedures for
determining compliance with this chapter are described in Appendix A, which is
incorporated into this chapter by reference.
