(A) Applicability.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in
paragraphs (A)(4) and (A)(5) of this rule, the
requirements of paragraph (C) of this rule shall apply to any facility
that generates process wastewater from an affected industrial category and
meets either the following criteria in
paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) of this rule or paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and
(A)(1)(d) of this rule:
(a) The facility is
located in Butler, Clermont, Hamilton or Warren county; and
.
(b) The facility has a combined total
potential to emit for VOC emissions equal to or greater than one hundred tons
of VOC per calendar year on or after May 27, 2005 from all of the following:
(i) Industrial wastewater sources (waste
management units);
.
(ii) All
non-CTG sources; and
.
(c) The
facility is located in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina,
Portage, or Summit county; and
.
(d) The
facility has a combined total potential to emit for VOC emissions equal to or
greater than one hundred tons of VOC per calendar year on or after August 25,
2008 from all of the following:
(i) Industrial
wastewater sources (waste management units);
.
(ii) All non-CTG sources; and
.
(2) For the purposes of paragraphs (A)(1)(a)
to (A)(1)(d) of this rule, a source shall be considered regulated by a
paragraph, rule or subpart if it
the source is subject to the limits of that paragraph,
rule, or subpart. A source is not considered regulated by a paragraph, rule, or
subpart if it
the
source is not subject to the limits of that paragraph, rule, or subpart.
For example, if the source is covered by an exemption in the paragraph, rule,
or subpart, or the applicability criteria of the paragraph or subpart are not
met, then the source is not subject to that paragraph, rule, or subpart. A
source is also not considered regulated if there is no rule contained in this
chapter regulating the source category.
(3) Once a facility has met the applicability
requirements of paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and
(A)(1)(b) of this rule on or after May 27, 2005, or the applicability
requirements of paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (A)(1)(d) of this rule on or after
the effective date of this rule
August 25, 2008 , it
the facility is
always subject to the requirements of
paragraph (C) of this rule, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (A)(4)
and (A)(5) of this rule.
(4) In the
event a facility meets the applicability requirements under paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and
(A)(1)(b) of this rule, but reduces its
the facility's potential to emit for volatile organic
compounds by means of federally enforceable operational restrictions (e.g.,
production, hours of operation, or capacity utilization) to less than one
hundred tons per year by no later than May 27, 2006 and documents that the
actual VOC emissions from the above combined sources have never exceeded one
hundred tons per year after the baseline year (1990) of the state
implementation plan for ozone, the facility is not subject to
the requirements of paragraph (C) of this
rule.
(5) In the event a facility
meets the applicability requirements under
paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (A)(1)(d) of this rule, but reduces
its
the
facility's potential to emit for VOCs by means of a federally enforceable
operational restriction(s)
restriction (e.g., production, hours of operation, or
capacity utilization) to less than one hundred tons per year by no later than
twelve months after the effective date of this
rule
August 25, 2009 and documents that
the actual VOC emissions from the above combined sources have never exceeded
one hundred tons per year after the baseline year (2002) of the state
implementation plan for ozone, the facility is not subject to

(2) The following exemptions shall apply:
(a) Any plant with an annual affected VOCs
loading in wastewater, as determined in accordance with paragraph (I) of this
rule (relating to determination of wastewater characteristics), less than or
equal to ten megagrams ( 11.03 tons) is exempt from the control requirements of paragraph (D) of this
rule.

Measurements that are representative of the actual, normal wastewater
generation rates.
(3) The
VOC concentration of a wastewater stream shall be determined on the basis of a
flow-weighted annual average by one of the following methods, or by a
combination of the methods. If the director or USEPA determines that the VOC
concentration cannot be adequately determined by knowledge of the wastewater,
or by bench-scale or pilot-scale test data, the VOC concentration shall be
determined in accordance with paragraph (I)(3)(c) of this rule, or by a
combination of the methods in paragraphs (I)(3)(a),
(I)(3)(b), and
to (I)(3)(c) of this
rule. VOC with a "Henry's Law Constant" less than 1.8
x10-6

methods). The affected VOC concentration of the wastewater stream shall be the
flow-weighted average of the individual samples.
(4) The annual affected VOC loading in
wastewater for a wastewater stream shall be the annual average flow rate
determined in paragraph (I)(2) of this rule multiplied by the annual average
affected VOC concentration determined in paragraph (I)(3) of this
rule.
(5) The annual VOC loading in
wastewater for a plant shall be the sum of the annual VOC loading in wastewater
for each affected VOC wastewater stream.
