Option three. Reducing coating VOC emissions by add-on controls only.
An owner or operator may achieve compliance with this rule by
using add-on air pollution control equipment that achieves a minimum overall
VOC control efficiency of ninety per cent in lieu of the options under
paragraph (C)(1) or (C)(2) of this rule. Such add-on air pollution control
equipment shall meet paragraph (F) of this rule.
(D) One, or a combination, of the following
application methods shall be used for coating application, except when
complying using option three (add-on air pollution control equipment only)
under paragraph (C)(3) of this rule or exempt under paragraph (A)(3) of this
rule:
(1) Electrostatic equipment.
(2) High volume low pressure (HVLP) spray
equipment.
(3) Flow
coating.
(4) Roller
coating.
(5) Dip coating, including
electro deposition.
(6) Airless
spray.
(7) Air-assisted airless
spray.
(8) Other coating
application method capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent or
better than achieved by HVLP spraying.
(E) Work practice standards.
Work practices shall be used to minimize VOC emissions from
mixing operations, storage tanks and other containers, and handling operations
for coatings, thinners, cleaning materials, and waste materials. Work practices
shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Store all VOC containing coatings,
thinners, coating related waste, and cleaning materials in closed
containers.
(2) Ensure that mixing
and storage containers used for VOC containing coatings, thinners, coating
related waste, and cleaning materials are kept closed at all times except when
depositing or removing these materials.
(3) Minimize spills of VOC containing
coatings, thinners, coating related waste, and cleaning materials.
(4) Convey VOC containing coatings, thinners,
coating related waste, and cleaning materials from one location to another in
closed containers or pipes.
(5)
Minimize VOC emissions from the cleaning of application, storage, mixing, and
conveying equipment by ensuring that equipment cleaning is performed without
atomizing the cleaning solvent and all spent solvent is captured in closed
containers.
(F)
Compliance procedures and test methods.
(1)
Compliance with the VOC emission limitations specified in this rule are based
upon a weighted average by volume of all coating materials employed in the
coating line in any one day. The VOC contents and densities of the coating
materials subject to this rule shall be determined in accordance with paragraph
(B) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code. The VOC emission rate, capture efficiency and control efficiency for
coating lines subject to this rule shall be determined in accordance with
paragraph (C) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code.
(2) The averaging of VOC
emissions over two or more coating lines in order to demonstrate compliance
with an applicable emission limitation (i.e., cross-line averaging) is
prohibited.
(3) If add-on air
pollution control equipment is used to meet this rule, the following monitoring
shall be applicable:
(a) The combustion
temperature is monitored continuously if a thermal incinerator is
operate.
(b) For catalytic
incinerators, one of the following:
(i) The
inlet and exhaust gas temperatures are monitored continuously.
(ii) The inlet temperature only for an owner
or operator that elects to implement an inspection and maintenance plan for the
catalytic incinerator that meets paragraph (F)(5) of this rule.
(c) Control device efficiency is
monitored continuously if a carbon absorber or control device other than a
thermal or catalytic incinerator is operated.
(4) If add-on air pollution control equipment
is used to meet this rule, the following emissions testing shall be applicable:
(a) The general provisions specified under
paragraphs (A)(2) to (A)(5) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code shall apply to compliance testing.
(b) The test methods and procedures of
paragraph (C) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code shall be followed.
For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the emission
control requirements of paragraph (C)(2) or (C)(3) of this rule, the affected
source shall be run at typical operating conditions and flow rates compatible
with scheduled production during any emission testing.
(5) For an owner or operator that
elects, in accordance with paragraph (F)(3)(b)(ii) of this rule, to monitor the
inlet temperature only of the catalytic incinerator, an inspection and
maintenance plan shall be developed, maintained on-site, and made readily
available upon the request of the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local
air agency. At a minimum, the plan shall include the following:
(a) Annual sampling and analysis of the
catalyst activity (i.e., conversion efficiency) following the manufacturer's or
catalyst supplier's recommended procedures.
(b) Monthly inspection of the oxidizer system
including the burner assembly and fuel supply lines for problems.
(c) Annual internal and monthly external
visual inspection of the catalyst bed to check for channeling, abrasion, and
settling. If problems are found, corrective action consistent with the
manufacturer's recommendations shall be implemented and a new performance test
to determine destruction efficiency in accordance with paragraph (C) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code shall be conducted.
(G) Recordkeeping and reporting.
(1) The owner or operator of a coating line
subject to this rule shall demonstrate the on-going status of compliance with
the applicable VOC emission limitations or control requirements by means of one
of the recordkeeping and reporting requirement alternatives specified in
paragraph (B)(3) of rule
3745-21-09 of the Administrative
Code.
(2) Any owner or operator of
a facility who complies with paragraph (C)(2) or (C)(3) of this rule through
the use of add-on air pollution control equipment shall record the key
operating parameters for the control equipment, including but not limited to,
the following information:
(a) On a daily
basis, the combustion temperature, inlet and exhaust gas temperatures and
control device efficiency, as appropriate, pursuant to paragraph (F)(3) of this
rule.
(b) Daily hours of
operation.
(c) All maintenance
performed including the date and type of maintenance.
(3) All records made to determine compliance
with this rule shall be maintained for five years from the date such record is
created and shall be made available to the director or any authorized
representative of the director within ninety days of a request.
(H) Compliance dates.

that is subject to this rule shall comply with this rule no later than the
following dates:
(a) For any subject coating
line located in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or
Summit county for which installation commenced before October 15, 2015, the
