Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) This
rule applies to all flat wood manufacturing and surface finishing facilities
that manufacture the following products:
(a)
Printed interior panels made of hardwood plywood and thin
particleboard;
(b) Natural finish
hardwood plywood panels; or
(c)
Hardboard paneling with Class II finishes.
(2) This rule does not apply to the
manufacture of exterior siding, tileboard, particleboard used as a furniture
component, or paper or plastic laminates on wood or wood-derived
substrates.
(3) No owner or
operator of a flat wood manufacturing facility subject to this rule may emit
VOCs from a coating application system in excess of:
(a) 2.9 kilograms per 100 square meters of
coated finished product (6.0 pounds/1,000 square feet) from printed interior
panels, regardless of the number of coats applied;
(b) 5.8 kilograms per 100 square meters of
coated finished product (12.0 pounds/1,000 square feet) from natural finish
hardwood plywood panels, regardless of the number of coats applied;
and
(c) 4.8 kilograms per 100
square meters of coated finished product (10.0 pounds/1,000 square feet) from
Class II finishes on hardboard panels, regardless of the number of coats
applied.
(4) The
emission limits in section (3) must be achieved by:
(a) The application of low solvent content
coating technology; or
(b) An
incineration system which oxidizes at least 90.0 percent of the non methane
VOCs entering the incinerator (VOC measured as total combustible carbon) to
carbon dioxide and water; or
(c) An
equivalent means of VOC removal. The equivalent means must be approved in
writing by DEQ. The time period used to determine equivalency may not exceed 24
hours.
(5) A capture
system must be used in conjunction with the control devices in subsections
(4)(b) and (c). The design and operation of a capture system must be consistent
with good engineering practice and must provide for an overall emission
reduction sufficient to meet the emission limitations in section (3).
(6) Compliance Demonstration:
(a) The owner or operator of a VOC source
required to comply with this rule must demonstrate compliance by the methods of
subsection (c), or an alternative method approved by DEQ;
(b) A person proposing to conduct a VOC
emissions test must notify DEQ of the intent to test not less than 30 days
before the proposed initiation of the tests so DEQ may observe the
test;
(c) Test procedures in 40 CFR
part 60, EPA Method 18, 24, or 25 must be used to determine compliance with
section (3);
(d) DEQ may accept,
instead of the coating analysis required by paragraph (c)(A), a certification
by the coating manufacturer of the composition of the coating, if supported by
actual batch formulation records. In the event of any inconsistency between a
Method 18, 24, or 25 test and a facility's formulation data, the Method 18, 24,
or 25 test will govern;
(e) If an
add-on control device is used, continuous monitors of the following parameters
must be installed, periodically calibrated, and operated at all times that the
associated control device is operating:
(A)
Exhaust gas temperature of all incinerators;
(B) Temperature rise across a catalytic
incinerator bed; and
(C)
Breakthrough of VOC on a carbon absorption unit.

Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.]
