VOC solvent dry cleaning facility which has maximum theoretical emissions of
VOCs from the facility greater than or equal to one of the following:
(a) 25 tons per year for a facility which is

solvent dry cleaning facility shall limit VOC emissions from each liquid VOC
solvent dry cleaning dryer to an average of 3.5 kilograms per 100 kilograms,
dry weight, of articles cleaned, or install and operate a solvent recovery
dryer in a manner such that the dryer remains closed and the recovery phase
continues until the flow rate of recovered solvent no longer exceeds 50
milliliters per minute.
(b) The
owner or operator of a liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning facility shall reduce
the VOC content of all filtration wastes to not more than 1.0 kilogram per 100
kilograms, dry weight, of articles cleaned before disposing of such wastes or
