Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-296.514 - Surface Coating of Flat Wood Paneling

(1) Applicability.

(a) The emission limiting standards set forth in subsection 62-296.514(2), F.A.C., shall apply to all flat wood manufacturing and surface finishing facilities that manufacture the following products:

1. Printed interior panels made of hardwood, plywood and thin particle board,

2. Natural finish hardwood plywood panels, or

3. Hardboard paneling with Class II finishes.

(b) The provisions stated in subsection 62-296.514(2), F.A.C., do not apply to the manufacture of exterior siding, tileboard, or particle board used as a furniture component.

(2) Emission Limiting Standards. No owner or operator of a flat wood coating line subject to Rule 62-296.514, F.A.C., may cause, allow or permit the discharge into the atmosphere of any volatile organic compounds in excess of:

(a) 6.0 pounds per 1, 000 square feet of coated finished product (2.9 kilograms per 100 square meters) from the coating of printed interior panels, regardless of the number of coats applied;

(b) 12.0 pounds per 1, 000 square feet of coated finished product (5.8 kilograms per 100 square meters) from the coating of natural finish hardwood plywood panels, regardless of the number of coats applied, or

(c) 10.0 pounds per 1, 000 square feet of coated finished product (4.8 kilograms per 100 square meters) from the coating of Class II finishes on hardboard panels, regardless of the number of coats applied.

(3) Control Technology. The emission limits in subsection 62-296.514(2), F.A.C., shall be achieved by:

(a) The application of low solvent coating technology, or

(b) Incineration, provided that 90% of the volatile organic compounds (VOC measured as total combustible carbon) which enter the incinerator are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.

(4) Test Methods and Procedures. All emissions tests performed pursuant to the requirements of this rule shall comply with the following requirements.

(a) Low Solvent Technology. The test method for volatile organic compounds shall be EPA Method 24, as described at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Appendix A-7, adopted and incorporated by reference at Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C., or EPA 450/3-84-019, Procedures for Certifying Quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Paint, Ink, and Other Coatings (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-04298), hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.

(b) Add-on Control Device.

1. Destructive. The test method for volatile organic compounds shall be EPA Method 25, as described at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Appendix A-7, adopted and incorporated by reference at Rule 62-204.800, F.A.C., or Attachment 3 of EPA 450/2-78-041, Alternate Test Method for Direct Measurement of Total Gaseous Organic Compounds Using a Flame Ionization Analyzer, adopted and incorporated by reference in Chapter 62-297, F.A.C.

2. Non-destructive. The test method for volatile organic compounds shall be VOC Capture Efficiency Test Procedures as described at Rule 62-297.450, F.A.C. The sampling time for each capture efficiency test run shall be at least 8 hours, unless otherwise approved by the Department pursuant to Rule 62-297.620, F.A.C.

(c) Test procedures shall meet all applicable requirements of Chapter 62-297, F.A.C.
