(2) As
an alternative to the VOC emission limitations specified in the table of this
rule, the owner or operator of a facility may choose to vent all VOC emissions
to a control device with a minimum overall control efficiency of ninety per
cent, by weight.
(3) Except as
otherwise provided by this rule, compliance with the limitations specified in
paragraph (C)(1) of this rule is based upon a weighted average by volume of all
coating materials employed in the
coating line in any one
day. The
VOC contents
and densities of the
coating materials subject to paragraph (C)(1) of this rule
shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (B) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code. The
VOC emission rate,
capture efficiency and control efficiency for
coating lines subject to paragraph (C) of this rule shall be determined in
accordance with paragraph (C) of rule
3745-21-10 of the Administrative
Code. The averaging of
VOC emissions over two or more
coating lines in order to
demonstrate compliance with an applicable
emission limitation (i.e., cross-
line
averaging) is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this
rule.
(E) Work practice
standards.
The owner or operator of a facility using VOC-containing
materials in any flat wood paneling coating line shall ensure that VOC
emissions are minimized by incorporating the following procedures:
(1) Store all VOC coatings, thinners, and
cleaning materials in closed containers.
(2) Minimize spills of VOC containing
coatings and thinners, and cleanup any spills immediately.
(3) Convey any coating, thinners, and
cleaning materials in closed containers or pipes.
(4) Keep mixing vessels that contain VOC
coatings or other materials closed except when specifically in use.
(5) Minimize emissions of VOC during cleaning
of storage, mixing and conveying equipment.
(F) Recordkeeping and reporting.
(1) Any owner or operator of a
flat wood
paneling coating line which is exempt from the
emission limitations specified
in paragraph (C) of this rule because the combined
VOC emissions from all
flat
wood paneling coating lines at the facility are less than 15.0 pounds of
VOC
per
day (before add-on controls) shall collect and record the information each
day and maintain the following information at the facility for a period of
three years:
(a) The name and identification
number of each coating, as applied.
(b) The mass of VOC per volume (including
water and exempt solvents) and the volume of each coating (including water and
exempt solvents), as applied, used each day.
(c) The total
VOC emissions at the facility,
as calculated using the following equation:

coating lines before the application of capture systems and control devices, in
units of pounds per day.
n = Number of different coatings applied in the flat wood
paneling coating lines at the facility.
i = Subscript denoting an individual coating.
Ai = Mass of VOC per volume of coating
(i) (including water and exempt solvents), as applied, used at the facility, in
units of pounds VOC per gallon.
Bi = Volume of coating (i) (including
water and exempt solvents), as applied, used at the facility, in units of
gallons per day. The instrument or method by which the owner or operator
accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating, as applied, shall
also be described in the certification to the
director.
(2) Any
owner or operator of a flat wood paneling coating line referenced in paragraph
(F)(1) of this rule shall notify the director of any daily record showing that
the combined VOC emissions from all such flat wood paneling coating lines at
the facility are equal to or greater than 15.0 pounds of VOC per day (before
add-on controls). A copy of such record shall be sent to the director within
forty-five days after the exceedance occurs.
(3) Any owner or operator of a
flat wood
paneling coating line who elects to demonstrate the ongoing status of
compliance with the applicable
emission limitation by means of the use of
complying coatings (i.e., each
coating complies with the applicable
emission
limitation
as applied) as specified in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule, shall
collect and record the following information each month and maintain the
information at the facility for a period of three years:
(a) The name and identification number of
each coating, as applied.
(b) The
mass of
VOC per volume of each
coating (
excluding water and exempt solvents),
as applied.
This information does not have to be kept on a line-by-line
basis. Also, if an owner or operator mixes complying coatings at a coating
line, it is not necessary to record the VOC content of the resulting
mixture.

day for the
coating
line and maintain the information at the facility for a period of three years:

shall be sent to the director within forty-five days after the exceedance
occurs.
