Env-A 1205.01 Determination of Emissions.
(a)
The determination of TPEs shall include all emissions from core
activities.
(b)
The determination of actual emissions for the purpose of determining
compliance with the applicable rule or establishing exceptions to
applicability, as provided in Env-A 1201.03 and Env-A 1201.04, respectively,
shall be as prescribed in Env-A 705.03.
(c)
For a coating source that uses add-on control equipment or a bubble to
achieve compliance, the emission rate limit shall be determined on a solids
basis, as specified in (d), below, using the following terms:
(1) “S” means the VOC emission rate limit in
terms of kg/1 (lb/gal) of coating solids;
(2) “dA” means the actual mass density
of VOC in the applied surface coating formulation in terms of kg/1 (lb/gal),
but in the case where multiple coatings are used, dA means the
weighted average actual mass density of VOC in the applied surface coatings in
terms of kg/1 (lb/gal); and
(3) “Ec” means the emission rate limit
prescribed for the applicable coating category, subcategory, or process as
calculated on a coatings basis, in terms of kg VOC/1 (lb VOC/gal) of coating,
as applied to the substrate.
(d)
To calculate the emission rate limit S, the quotient of Ec
and dA shall be subtracted from one and the result shall be divided
into Ec, as in the formula below:

Env-A 1205.02 Alternative Compliance Procedures.
(a)
The owner or operator of a coating operation that meets any of the
applicability criteria stated in Env-A 1206 through Env-A 1212 may satisfy the
applicable emission rate limits by implementing add-on control techniques or a
bubble and complying with the solids-based emission rate limits stated in the
applicable rule or calculated using the procedures of Env-A 1205.01(d) and
Env-A 800.
(b)
As an alternative to the applicable emission rate limits or
technological controls specified in this chapter in cases where the owner or
operator of a source cannot meet the applicable requirements due to technological
or economic reasons, the owner or operator shall satisfy those requirements by
obtaining and complying with a modified control technique approved by the
department and EPA in accordance with the RACT order provisions of Env-A
1205.03 through Env-A 1205.06.

operation of the facility due to one or more of the following reasons:
(1) Add-on controls were installed during the

thinners, and coatings-related waste materials in closed containers;
(2) Keeping mixing and storage containers closed
at all times except when depositing or removing VOC-containing coatings,
thinners, and coatings-related waste materials;
(3) Minimizing spills of VOC-containing coatings,
thinners, and coatings-related waste materials; and
(4) Conveying VOC-containing coatings, thinners,
and coatings-related waste materials from one location to another in closed
containers or pipes.

(2) Keeping mixing and storage containers closed
at all times except when depositing or removing VOC-containing materials;
(3) Minimizing spills of VOC-containing cleaning
materials;
(4) Conveying VOC-containing cleaning materials
from one location to another in closed containers or pipes; and
(5) Minimizing VOC emissions from the cleaning of
storage, mixing, and conveying equipment by ensuring that:

processes and the facility-wide VOC emissions after controls from all
non-exempt processes by the facility-wide uncontrolled VOC emissions from all
non-exempt processes;

the atmosphere each day during which the VOC-emitting process(es) or device(s)
operates upon implementation of control option 1, stated in terms of either:
a. A mass of VOC emitted per quantity of solids
basis; or
b. A mass of VOC emitted on a per unit of
production basis.

Env-A 1222.02(a)(2) or Env-A 1222.03(a)(4) for which the source provides a
demonstration that the applicable time periods specified therein are unrepresentative
of the operation of the facility due to one or more of the following reasons:
(a)
Add-on controls were installed during the calendar year 1990, or during
the 1990 ozone season, whichever is applicable, that resulted in VOC emission
rate reductions of 40% or more of the average emission rate during the
applicable time period immediately preceding the specified time period;
(b)
Process or product changes were implemented during the calendar year
1990, or during the 1990 ozone season, whichever is applicable, that resulted
in VOC emission rate reductions of 40% or more of the average emission rate
during the applicable time period immediately preceding the specified time
period;
(c)
The facility was not in existence or the applicable VOC-emitting
processes or devices were not operational during any portion of calendar year
1990, or during any portion of the 1990 ozone season, whichever is applicable;
or
(d)
Any other reason that the department, using EPA-approved methods and
procedures as specified in 40 CFR § 51.165, determines is adequate to
demonstrate that VOC emissions for calendar year 1990, or the 1990 ozone
season, whichever is applicable, were unrepresentative of normal
VOC-emitting facility operations.
