(iii) A final permit-to-install has been issued for the article, machine, equipment or other contrivance pursuant to Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Codecontaining terms and conditions that are consistent with the approval granted by the USEPA pursuant to paragraph (M)(5)(e)(ii) of this rule, and that specify the control requirement or emission limitation that is the basis for the director's best available technology determination for the article, machine, equipment or other contrivance, as described in paragraph (M)(5)(e)(i) of this ruleand that is issued by the Ohio EPA in a manner that makes the control requirement or emission limitation federally enforceable.

(f) Paragraph (M) of this rule does not apply to the emissions resulting from the use of any liquid organic materials in any article, machine, equipment or other contrivance if those emissions are regulated by rule 3745-21-09, 3745-21-12 to 3745-21-16, or 3745-21-18 to 3745-21-29 of the Administrative Code.

(g) Paragraphs (M)(3)(a), (M)(3)(b), (M)(3)(g) and (M)(4) of this rule do not apply to sources that are located in Darke, Fairfield, Madison, Perry, Pickaway, Preble or Union county and that are within a facility having the potential to emit not more than one hundred tons of organic compounds per calendar year.

(h) Paragraph (M)(3)(g) of this rule does not apply to any sheet molding compound manufacturing operation (machine) in which all of the following requirements are met:
(i) The resin delivery system to the doctor box on the sheet molding compound manufacturing machine must be closed or covered (the doctor box itself may be open). A doctor box is defined as the box or trough on a sheet molding compound manufacturing machine into which the liquid resin paste is delivered before it is metered onto the carrier film.

(ii) A nylon containing film must be used to enclose the sheet molding compound.

(i) Paragraph (M)(2) of this rule does not apply to the use of a phenolic urethane cold box resin binder system in foundry core-making and moldmaking operations, provided the catalyst gas emissions are vented to a control device that is designed and operated to remove at least ninetyeight per cent, by weight, of the catalyst gas emissions or maintain a maximum catalyst gas outlet concentration of one ppmv on a dry basis, whichever is less stringent. (In a phenolic urethane cold box resin binder system, sand is mixed with a two-part liquid urethane resin binder, and a catalyst gas is blown into the resin-coated sand to cause hardening.)

(j) Paragraph (M)(2) of this rule does not apply to the use of a phenolic urethane no-bake resin binder system in foundry core-making and mold-making operations. (In a phenolic urethane no-bake resin binder system, sand is mixed with a two-part liquid urethane resin binder and a liquid catalyst, which regulates the speed of the resin curing reaction.)

(k) The owner or operator of an article, machine, equipment or other contrivance that is exempt per paragraph (M)(5)(d) of this rule shall maintain the following records for all materials used:
(i) The name and identification number of each liquid organic material.

(ii) The composition of each material including the volatile content by volume per cent, the volume per cent of liquid organic material and the volume per cent of water. If exempt because of paragraph (M) (5)(d)(i) of this rule then the liquid organic material content, except water, relative to the volatile content (per cent by volume) or, if exempt because of paragraph (M)(5)(d)(ii) of this rule, the volatile content relative to the total material (per cent by volume).

(iii) All time periods (beginning and ending dates and times) for each material that is exempt per paragraph (M)(5)(d) of this rule.

(N) Facility-specific control requirements for waste gas flare systems:

(1) The owner or operator, or any subsequent owner or operator, of each waste gas flare system identified in this paragraph shall comply with the control requirements specified in paragraph (N)(2) of this rule:

(N)(1) Emissions Units

Owner or Operator

Facility ID

Emissions Unit ID

City of Urbana

0111010123

P001

(2) The waste gas flare system identified in paragraph (N)(1) of this rule shall employ a smokeless flare or equally effective control equipment for organic compound emissions.

(3) "Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corp." (facility ID 1677010999) or any subsequent owner or operator of the "Aircraft Braking Systems Corp." facility located at "1204 Massillon Road, Akron, Ohio" shall not emit a waste gas stream into the atmosphere from emissions units P036, P037, P038, P039, P040, P041, and P044 unless such waste gas stream is properly burned at 1300 degrees Fahrenheit for 0.3 seconds or greater in a direct-flame afterburner or equally effective control device for organic compound emissions.
