     (h)  Exemptions.  Exemptions to this Section shall be permitted for combined emissions at one site/facility, which do not exceed a 10 tons/year emissions cutoff based on the facility's potential to emit VOS from coating operations.  Once this limit is exceeded, the source will always be subject to the limits of this Section.

     (i)  Alternate standard.  Emissions in excess of those permitted by 252:100-39-46(d) are allowable if both the following conditions are met:
          (1)  emissions that would result in the absence of control are reduced equivalent to those permitted by 252:100-39-46(d) and meet an overall control efficiency of at least:
               (A)  85 percent, by incineration; or,
               (B)  85 percent, by absorption or any other equipment of equivalent reliability and effectiveness; and,
          (2)  no air pollution, as defined by the Clean Air Act, results.

     (j)  Emission plan.  An owner/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 emission limitations prescribed in subsection (d) of this Section, provided:
          (1)  The owner or operator demonstrates, by means of approved material balance or manual emission test methods, that sufficient reductions in organic solvent emissions may be obtained by controlling other facilities 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 described in writing and shall include:
               (A)  a complete description of the coating line or lines which will not comply with the emission limitation in 252:100-39-46(d);
               (B)  quantification of emissions, in terms of pounds per day of organic solvents, which are in excess of the prescribed emission limitation for each coating line described in 252:100-39-46(d);
               (C)  a complete description of each facility and the related control system, if any, for those facilities within the plant where emissions will be decreased to compensate for excess emissions from each coating line described in 252:100-39-46(d);
               (D)   when transfer efficiency is used to compensate for excess emissions from spray painting operations, the transfer efficiency shall be based on a 60 percent baseline, with emissions expressed in pounds of solvent per gallon of solids. Credits for improvements in transfer efficiency shall be demonstrated with in-plant testing which complies with approved EPA methods.
               (E)  quantification of emissions, in terms of pounds per day of organic solvents, 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,
               (F)  a description of the procedures and methods used to determine the emissions of organic solvents.
          (2)  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 decreases in emissions accomplished through installation or improvement of a control system or through physical or operational changes to facilities, including permanently reduced production or closing a facility, located on the premises of a surface-coating operation.
          (3)  The implementation of a plant-wide emission reduction plan instead of compliance with the emissions limitation prescribed in 252:100-39-46(d) has been expressly approved by the  Executive Director and the EPA Administrator.  Upon approval, any emissions in excess of those established for each facility under the plan shall be a violation of these rules.

     (k)  Compliance.  
          (1)  The  Executive Director may require the owner/operator of a source to demonstrate at his expense, compliance with the emission limits using EPA Methods 24, 24A, l-4, 25, 25A, 25B in 40 CFR 60.444 or EPA Document 450/3-84-019.  At a minimum, such test must show that the overall capture efficiency and destruction efficiency are equal to 85 percent, e.g., 90 percent capture efficiency multiplied by 95 percent destruction efficiency equals 85.5 percent system efficiency.  The one hour bake option in Method 24 is required when doing compliance testing.)
          (2)  Testing for plant-wide emission plans shall be conducted by the owner/operator at his expense to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits contained in 252:100-39-46(d).
          (3)  Monitoring shall be required of any owner/operator subject to this Section who uses add-on control equipment for compliance.  Such monitoring shall include:
               (A)  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:
                    (i)  the exhaust temperature of direct flame incinerators and/or gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;
                    (ii)  the total amount of volatile organic substances recovered by carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery system during a calendar month; and,
                    (iii) the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of volatile organic substance emissions during such activities;
               (B)  maintenance of records of any testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified in 252:100-39-46(k)(3)(A)(i); and,
               (C)  maintenance of all records at the affected facility for at least two years and make such records available to representative of the State or local air pollution control agency upon request.

     (l)  Reporting and recordkeeping.  The owner/operator of a facility subject to this Section shall submit to the Executive Director upon written request, reports detailing specific VOS  sources; the quantity of coatings used for a specific time period, VOS  content of each coating; capture and control efficiencies; and any other information pertinent to the calculation of VOS emissions.  The data necessary to supply the requested information shall be retained by the owner/operator for a minimum of two years.

     (m)  Compliance date.  The date of compliance with the requirements of this Section will be December 3l, 1990.
