Cause
(3) Cause means with respect to the reviewing authority's ability to terminate a permitted source's coverage under a permit by rule that: (i) The permittee is not in compliance with the provisions of this permit by rule; (ii) The reviewing authority determines that the emissions resulting from the construction or modification of the permitted source significantly contribute to NAAQS violations, which are not adequately addressed by the requirements in this permit by rule; (iii) The reviewing authority has reason to believe that the permittee obtained coverage under the permit by rule by fraud or misrepresentation; or (iv) The permittee failed to disclose a material fact required by the Notification of Coverage or the requirements applicable to the permitted source of which the applicant had or should have had knowledge at the time the permittee submitted the Notification of Coverage. (4) Clear coating means any coating that contains no pigments and is labeled and formulated for application over a color coating or clear coating. (5) Cold cleaning solvent makeup means the gallons of gross cold cleaning solvent usage minus the gallons of solvent disposed of as waste solvent. (6) Construction means any physical change or change in the method of operation including fabrication, erection, installation, demolition, or modification of an affected emissions unit that would result in a change of emissions. (7) Color coating means any pigmented coating, excluding adhesion promoters, primers, and multi-color coatings, that requires a subsequent clear coating and which is applied over a primer or adhesion promoter. Color coatings include metallic/iridescent color coatings. (8) Electrostatic application means any method of coating application where an electrostatic attraction is created between the part to be coated and the atomized paint particles. (9) Freeboard area means the air space in a batch-loaded cold cleaner that extends from the liquid surface to the top of the tank. (10) Freeboard height means the distance from the top of the solvent to the top of the tank for batch-loaded cold cleaners. (11) Freeboard ratio means the ratio of the solvent cleaning machine freeboard height to the smaller interior dimension (length, width, or diameter) of the solvent cleaning machine. (12) Halogenated Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) solvent means methylene chloride (CAS No. 75-09-2), perchloroethylene (CAS No. 127-18-4), trichloroethylene (CAS No. 79-01-6), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CAS No. 71-55-6), carbon tetrachloride (CAS No. 56-23-5), and/or chloroform (CAS No. 67-66-3). (13) High-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) spray equipment means spray equipment that is permanently labeled as such and used to apply any coating by means of a spray gun which is designed and operated between 0.1 and 10 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) air atomizing pressure measured dynamically at the center of the air cap and at the air horns. (14) Liquid leak means a VOC-containing liquid leak from the degreaser at a rate of three drops per minute or more or any visible liquid mist. (15) Multi-color coating means any coating that exhibits more than one color in the dried film after a single application, is packaged in a single container, and hides surface defects on areas of heavy use, and which is applied over a primer or adhesion promoter. (16) Notification of Coverage means the permit notification that contains all the information required in the standard notification form for this permit by rule. (17) One-component coating means a coating that is ready for application as it comes out of its container to form an acceptable dry film. A thinner necessary to reduce the viscosity is not considered a component. (18) Permittee means the owner or operator of a permitted source. (19) Permitted source means each auto body repair and miscellaneous surface coating operation for which a source submits a complete Notification of Coverage. (20) Pretreatment coating means any coating that contains a minimum of one-half (0.5) percent acid by weight and not more than 16 percent solids by weight necessary to provide surface etching and is labeled and formulated for application directly to bare metal surfaces to provide corrosion resistance and adhesion. (21) Primer means any coating, which is labeled and formulated for application to a substrate to provide: (i) A bond between the substrate and subsequent coats; (ii) Corrosion resistance; (iii) A smooth substrate surface; or (iv) Resistance to penetration of subsequent coats, and on which a subsequent coating is applied.
