rule applies to a specific coating, then the least stringent emission
limitation may be applied.

definition, then it can be assumed to be a general use coating and the VOC
limit for "general" coating or "other" coating shall apply.

on low-VOC coatings as follows in tables 1 to 5 of this rule and the use of
application methods specified in paragraph (D) of this rule.

Option three. Reducing coating VOC emissions by add-on controls only.
An owner or operator may achieve compliance with this rule by
using add-on air pollution control equipment that achieves a minimum overall
VOC control efficiency of ninety per cent in lieu of the options under
paragraph (C)(1) or (C)(2) of this rule. Such add-on air pollution control
equipment shall meet paragraph (F) of this rule.
(D) One, or a combination, of the following
application methods shall be used for coating application, except when
complying using option three (add-on air pollution control equipment only)
under paragraph (C)(3) of this rule or exempt under paragraph (A)(3) of this
rule:
(1) Electrostatic equipment.
(2) High volume low pressure (HVLP) spray
equipment.
(3) Flow
coating.
(4) Roller
coating.
(5) Dip coating, including
electrodeposition.
(6) Airless
spray.
(7) Air-assisted airless
spray.
(8) Other coating
application method capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent or
better than achieved by HVLP spraying.
(E) Work practice standards.
Work practices shall be used to minimize VOC emissions from
mixing operations, storage tanks and other containers, and handling operations
for coatings, thinners, cleaning materials, and waste materials. Work practices
shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Store all VOC containing coatings,
thinners, coating related waste, and cleaning materials in closed
containers.
(2) Ensure that mixing
and storage containers used for VOC containing coatings, thinners, coating
related waste, and cleaning materials are kept closed at all times except when
depositing or removing these materials.
(3) Minimize spills of VOC containing
coatings, thinners, coating related waste, and cleaning materials.
(4) Convey VOC containing coatings, thinners,
coating related waste, and cleaning materials from one location to another in
closed containers or pipes.
(5)
Minimize VOC emissions from the cleaning of application, storage, mixing, and
conveying equipment by ensuring that equipment cleaning is performed without
atomizing the cleaning solvent and all spent solvent is captured in closed
containers.
(F)
Compliance procedures and test methods.
(1)
Compliance with the VOC emission limitations specified in this rule are 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 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 this
rule shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (C) of rule 3745-21-10 of
the Administrative Code.
(2) 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.
(3) If
add-on air pollution control equipment is used to meet this rule, the following
monitoring shall be applicable:
(a) The
combustion temperature is monitored continuously if a thermal incinerator is
operate.
(b) For catalytic
incinerators, one of the following:
(i) The
inlet and exhaust gas temperatures are monitored continuously.
(ii) The inlet temperature only for an owner
or operator that elects to implement an inspection and maintenance plan for the
catalytic incinerator that meets paragraph (F)(5) of this rule.
(c) Control device efficiency is
monitored continuously if a carbon absorber or control device other than a
thermal or catalytic incinerator is operated.
(4) If add-on air pollution control equipment
is used to meet this rule, the following emissions testing shall be applicable:
(a) The general provisions specified under
paragraphs (A)(2) to (A)(5) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative Code shall
apply to compliance testing.
(b)
The test methods and procedures of paragraph (C) of rule 3745-21-10 of the
Administrative Code shall be followed.
For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the emission
control requirements of paragraph (C)(2) or (C)(3) of this rule, the affected
source shall be run at typical operating conditions and flow rates compatible
with scheduled production during any emission testing.
(5) For an owner or operator that
elects, in accordance with paragraph (F)(3)(b)(ii) of this rule, to monitor the
inlet temperature only of the catalytic incinerator, an inspection and
maintenance plan shall be developed, maintained on-site, and made readily
available upon the request of the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local
air agency. At a minimum, the plan shall include the following:
(a) Annual sampling and analysis of the
catalyst activity (i.e., conversion efficiency) following the manufacturer's or
catalyst supplier's recommended procedures.
(b) Monthly inspection of the oxidizer system
including the burner assembly and fuel supply lines for problems.
(c) Annual internal and monthly external
