     (j)  Emission plan.  
          (1)  Development of a plant-wide emission plan.  An owner or operator may develop a plant-wide emission plan consistent with EPA's Emission Trading Policy as published in the December 4, 1986 Federal Register instead of having each coating line comply with the VOC content limitations contained in 252:100-39-46(d), if the following conditions are met.
               (A)  The owner or operator demonstrates by the methods prescribed in 252:100-5-2.1(d) that sufficient reductions in VOC emissions may be obtained by controlling other sources within the plant to the extent necessary to compensate for all excess emissions which result from one or more coating lines not achieving the prescribed limitation.  Such demonstration shall be made in writing and shall include:
                    (i)  a complete description of the coating line or lines that can not comply with the VOC content limitation in 252:100-39-46(d);
                    (ii)  quantification of emissions, in terms of pounds per day of VOCs, which are in excess of the prescribed VOC content limitation for each coating line described in 252:100-39-46(j)(A)(i);

                    (iv)  a transfer efficiency based on a 60 percent baseline with emissions expressed in pounds of VOC per gallon of solids when transfer efficiency is used to compensate for excess emissions from spray painting operations;
                    (v)  a demonstration of credits for improvements in transfer efficiency with in plant testing that complies with EPA methods.
                    (vi)  quantification of emissions, in terms of pounds per day of VOCs, for each source both before and after the improvement or installation of any applicable control system, or any physical or operational changes to such a facility or facilities to reduce emissions and the date on which such reductions will be achieved; and,
                    (vii)  a description of the procedures and methods used to determine the emissions of VOCs.
               (B)  The plant-wide emission reduction plan does not include decreases in emissions resulting from requirements of other applicable air pollution rules.  The plant-wide emission reduction plan as described in the Emissions Trading Policy may include voluntary decreases in emissions accomplished through installation or improvement of a control system or through physical or operational changes to emission units, including permanently reduced production or closing a facility, located on the premises of a surface-coating operation.
          (2)  Compliance with a plant-wide emission plan.  The implementation of a plant-wide emission reduction plan instead of compliance with the VOC content limitation prescribed in 252:100-39-46(d) has been expressly approved by the Executive Director and the EPA Administrator.  Upon approval of a plan, any emissions in excess of those established for each facility under the plan shall be a violation of these rules.

          (2)  Testing for plant-wide emission plans shall be conducted at the expense of the owner or operator to demonstrate compliance with the VOC content limits contained in 252:100-39-46(d).
          (3)  Monitoring shall be required of any owner or operator subject to this Section who uses add-on control equipment for compliance.  Such monitoring shall include installation and maintenance of monitors to accurately measure and record operational parameters of all required control devices to ensure the proper functioning of those devices in accordance with design specifications, including:
               (A)  the exhaust temperature of direct flame incinerators and/or gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;
               (B)  the total amount of VOCs recovered by carbon adsorption or other VOC recovery system during a calendar month; and,
               (C)  the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of emissions during such activities;

     (l)  Reporting and recordkeeping.
          (1)  The owner or operator of a facility subject to this Section shall submit to the Division Director upon written request reports detailing specific VOC sources; the quantity of coatings used for a specific time period, VOC content of each coating; capture and control efficiencies; and any other information pertinent to the calculation of VOC emissions.  The data necessary to supply the requested information shall be retained by the owner or operator for a minimum of two years.
          (2)  The owner or operator of a facility subject to this Section shall maintain records of any testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified in 252:100-39-46(k), as well as all other records, for at least two years.  These records shall be available to representatives of the DEQ upon request.

          (2)  Method of calculating VOC content in coatings.  Records required by 252:100-39-47(e)(1)(A) through 252:100-39-47(e)(1)(E) detailing VOC in pounds per gallon of coating (less water and exempt compounds) shall be calculated as follows:

               VOC in lbs/gal of coating = Wv-Ww-Wx / 1-Vw-Vx  

where:

               (A)  Wv = weight of all volatiles;
               (B)  Ww = weight of water;
               (C)  Wx = weight of exempt compounds;
               (D)  Vw = volume fraction of water; and,
               (E)  Vx = volume fraction of exempt compounds.

          (3)  Maintenance of records.  Records required by 252:100-39-47(e)(1)(A) through 252:100-39-47(e)(1)(E) shall be maintained for at least two years and shall be made available upon request by representatives of the AQD or EPA.
          (4)  Alternative recordkeeping provision.  Alternatively to 252:100-39-47(e)(1) through 252:100-39-47(e)(3), an equivalent recordkeeping provision that satisfies the substantive requirements of 252:100-39-47(e)(1) through 252:10-39-47(e)(3) may be approved under the plan.

     (f)  Testing and monitoring.
          (1)  Testing.  The Division may require testing at the expense of the owner or operator to establish emission from any particular source or sources.  Test methods may include 1-4, 18, 24, 24A, 25A, 25B found in the Appendix A of 40 CFR Part 60, including the procedures found at 40 CFR 60.444.
          (2)  Monitoring.  Monitoring shall be required of any owner or operator who uses add-on control equipment for compliance.  Such monitoring shall accurately measure and record operational parameters of all required control devices to ensure the proper functioning of those devices in accordance with design specifications, including:
               (A)  the exhaust temperature of direct flame incinerators and/or gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;
               (B)  the total amount of VOCs recovered by carbon adsorption or other VOC recovery system during a calendar month; and,
               (C)  the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of VOC emissions during such activities.

252:100-39-49.  Manufacturing of fiberglass reinforced plastic products

     (a)  Applicability.
          (1)  This Section applies to any process gas stream with actual VOC emissions that exceed six tons per year based on 6,240 hours of operation per year.
          (2)  Once the limit in 242:100-39-49(a)(1) is exceeded, the controls required in 252:100-39-49(b) must be put in place and maintained and used at any operating level.

     (b)  Standards.  Affected facilities shall limit emissions of VOC from fiberglass manufacturing by use of control equipment which can demonstrate an 85 percent reduction in the VOC released from each process stream (e.g. 90 percent capture efficiency multiplied by 95 percent destruction efficiency equals 85.5 percent system efficiency).

     (c)  Compliance.  All affected facilities must comply with one of the following.
          (1)  Meet the requirements of 252:100-39-49(b) by February 13, 1991.
          (2)  Have an approved plan for the reduction of VOC emissions as required by 252:100-39-49(b) by February 13, 1991.
               (A)  The plan shall be submitted by August 13, 1990, and shall:
                    (i)  detail those emissions which will be controlled;
                    (ii)  detail the means by which control will be achieved; and,
                    (iii)  demonstrate that compliance will be achieved by February 13, 1992.
               (B)  The Air Quality Council shall have approval authority for the plans.
               (C)  All approved plans shall be submitted to the EPA as SIP revisions.

     (d)  Demonstration of compliance.
          (1)  The Division Director may require at the expense of the owner or operator a demonstration of compliance with the requirements of 252:100-39-49(b).
          (2)  The testing shall be accomplished using the appropriate EPA test method or methods.  These include methods 1-4, 18-25, 25A, 25B and 40 CFR 60.444.
          (3)  Initial compliance testing shall be accomplished within 180 days of the applicable compliance date.
          (4)  Testing for the emissions plan described in 252:100-39-49(c)(2) shall be conducted at the expense of the owner or operator at his expense and shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limits contained in the approved plan.

     (e)  Recordkeeping.
          (1)  The owner or operator of a facility subject to this Section shall submit to the Division Director upon written request, reports that include:
               (A)  details of specific VOC sources;
               (B)  the quantity of VOC used during specific months;
               (C)  a description of the VOC used;
               (D)  control equipment efficiencies;
               (E)  details of maintenance performed on all control equipment;
               (F)  equipment downtime; and,
               (G)  any other information pertinent to the calculation of VOC emissions from the facility.
          (2)  The records required in 252:100-39-49(e)(1) shall be maintained by the source for at least two years.
