(e) "Visible emission" means any emissions that are visually detectable without the aid of instruments.

(B) The commercial grade of methyl chloroform contains no stabilizers other than those listed in table 11.

(C) Compliance with the applicable limits specified in parts 6 or 7 of these rules is otherwise not technically or economically reasonable.

(D) All measures to reduce the levels of all organic solvents, including the commercial grade of methyl chloroform, from the surface coating or coating line to the lowest reasonable level will be implemented.

(E) The emissions of the commercial grade of methyl chloroform do not result in a maximum ambient air concentration exceeding any of the allowable ambient air concentrations listed in table 11.

(F) The use of the commercial grade of methyl chloroform is specifically identified and allowed by a permit to install, permit to operate, or order of the department.

The methods described in R 336.2004 and R 336.2040 shall be used for measuring volatile organic compounds for purposes of determining compliance with emission limits. Where such a method also measures compounds with negligible photochemical reactivity, these negligibly-photochemical reactive compounds may be excluded as volatile organic compounds if the amount of such compounds is accurately quantified and such exclusion is approved by the department.
