SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 218.105 Test Methods and Procedures 

a) Coatings, Inks and Fountain Solutions 

The following test methods and procedures shall be used to determine 

compliance of as applied coatings, inks, and fountain solutions with the 

limitations set forth in this Part. 

1) Sampling: Samples collected for analyses shall be one-liter taken into a 

one-liter container at a location and time such that the sample will be 

representative of the coating as applied (i.e., the sample shall include any 

dilution solvent or other VOM added during the manufacturing process). 

The container must be tightly sealed immediately after the sample is taken. 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14189

determine the VOM content and density of coatings. If it is 

demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Agency and the USEPA that 

plant coating formulation data are equivalent to Method 24 results, 

formulation data may be used. In the event of any inconsistency 

between a Method 24 test and a facility's formulation data, the 

Method 24 test will govern. 

B) Method 24A of 40 CFR Part 60, appendixAppendix A, 

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part, shall be 

used to determine the VOM content and density of rotogravure 

printing inks and related coatings. If it is demonstrated to the 

satisfaction of the Agency and USEPA that the plant coating 

formulation data are equivalent to Method 24A results, formulation 

data may be used. In the event of any inconsistency between a 

Method 24A test and formulation data, the Method 24A test will 

govern.

Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and 

Light-Duty Truck Topcoat Operations" ("topcoat protocol"), 

December 1988, EPA-450/3-88-018, incorporated by reference in 

Section 218.112 of this Part. 

B) On and after May 1, 2012: "Protocol for Determining the Daily 

Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and 

Light-Duty Truck Primer-Surfacer and Topcoat Operations" 

(topcoat protocol), September 2008, EPA-453/R-08-002,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

content as applied and coating's usage thatwhich will be kept to 

demonstrate compliance. Upon approval of the proposal by the Agency 

and USEPA, the compliance demonstration for a coating line may 

proceed. 

c) Capture System Efficiency Test Protocols 

1) Applicability 

The requirements of subsection (c)(2) of this Section shall apply to all 

VOM emitting process emission units employing capture equipment (e.g., 

hoods, ducts), except those cases noted in this subsection (c)(1). 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14193

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

A) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a permanent total 

enclosure (PTE) that meets Agency and USEPA specifications, 

and which directs all VOM to a control device, then the emission 

unit is exempted from the requirements described in subsection 

(c)(2) of this Section. The Agency and USEPA specifications to 

determine whether a structure is considered a PTE are given in 

Method 204 of appendixAppendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, 

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part. In this 

instance, the capture efficiency is assumed to be 100 percent and 

the emission unit is still required to measure control efficiency 

using appropriate test methods as specified in subsection (d) of this 

Section. 

B) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a control device 

designed to collect and recover VOM (e.g., carbon adsorber), an 

explicit measurement of capture efficiency is not necessary 

provided that the conditions given below are met. The overall 

control of the system can be determined by directly comparing the 

input liquid VOM to the recovered liquid VOM. The general 

procedure for use in this situation is given in 40 CFR 60.433, 

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part, with the 

following additional restrictions: 

i) Unless otherwise specified in subsection (c)(1)(B)(ii)

below, the owner or operator shall obtain data each 

operating day for the solvent usage and solvent recovery to 

permit the determination of the solvent recovery efficiency 

of the system each operating day using a 7-day rolling 

period. The recovery efficiency for each operating day is 

computed as the ratio of the total recovered solvent for that 

day and the most recent prior 6 operating days to the total 

solvent usage for the same 7-day period used for the 

recovered solvent, rather than a 30-day weighted average as 

given in 40 CFR 60.433 incorporated by reference at 

Section 218.112 of this Part. This ratio shall be expressed 

as a percentage. The ratio shall be computed within 72 

hours following each 7-day period. A source that believes 

that the 7-day rolling period is not appropriate may use an 

alterative multi-day rolling period not to exceed 30 days, 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14194

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

with the approval of the Agency and USEPA. In addition, 

the criteria in subsection (c)(1)(B)(iii) or subsection 

(c)(1)(B)(iv) below must be met. 

ii) The owner or operator of the source engaged in printing 

located at 350 E. 22nd Street, Chicago, Illinois, shall obtain 

data each operating day for the solvent usage and solvent 

recovery to permit the determination of the solvent 

recovery efficiency of the system each operating day using 

a 14-day rolling period. The recovery efficiency for each 

operating day is computed as the ratio of the total recovered 

solvent for that day and the most recent prior 13 operating 

days to the total solvent usage for the same 14-day period 

used for the recovered solvent, rather than a 30-day 

weighted average as given in 40 CFR 60.433, incorporated 

by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part. This ratio 

shall be expressed as a percentage. The ratio shall be 

computed within 17 days following each 14-day period. In 

addition, the criteria in subsection (c)(1)(B)(iii) or 

subsection (c)(1)(B)(iv) below must be met. 

iii) The solvent recovery system (i.e., capture and control 

system) must be dedicated to a single coating line, printing 

line, or other discrete activity that by itself is subject to an 

applicable VOM emission standard, or 

iv) If the solvent recovery system controls more than one 

coating line, printing line or other discrete activity that by 

itself is subject to an applicable VOM emission standard, 

the overall control (i.e., the total recovered VOM divided 

by the sum of liquid VOM input from all lines and other 

activities venting to the control system) must meet or 

exceed the most stringent standard applicable to any line or 

other discrete activity venting to the control system. 

2) Capture Efficiency Protocols 

The capture efficiency of an emission unit shall be measured using one of 

the protocols given below. Appropriate test methods to be utilized in each 

of the capture efficiency protocols are described in appendixAppendix M

efficiency calculations (G/L) must satisfy the DQO or LCL 

statistical analysis protocol as described in Section 3 of USEPA's 

"Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency," incorporated by 

reference at Sectionin 218.112 of this Part. Where capture 

efficiency testing is done to determine emission reductions for the 

purpose of establishing emission credits for offsets, shutdowns, 

and trading, the LCL protocol cannot be used for these 

applications. In enforcement cases, the LCL protocol cannot 

confirm non-compliance; capture efficiency must be determined 

using a protocol under subsection (c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of this 

Section, the DQO protocol of this subsection (c)(2)(E), or an 

alternative protocol pursuant to Section 218.108(b) of this Part. 

BOARD NOTE: Where LCL was used in testing emission units 

that are the subject of later requests for establishing emission 

credits for offsets, shutdowns, and trading, prior LCL results may 

not be relied upon to determine the appropriate amount of credits. 

Instead, to establish the appropriate amount of credits, additional 

testing may be required that would satisfy the protocol of Section 

218.105(c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D), the DQO protocol of Section 

218.105(c)(2)(E), or an alternative protocol pursuant to Section 

218.108(b) of this Part. 

3) Simultaneous testing of multiple lines or emission units with a common 

control device. If an owner or operator has multiple lines sharing a 

common control device, the capture efficiency of the lines may be tested 

simultaneously, subject to the following provisions: 

A) Multiple line testing must meet the criteria of Section 4 of 

USEPA's "Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency, " 

incorporated by reference at Section 218.112 of this Part; 

B) The most stringent capture efficiency required for any individual 

line or unit must be met by the aggregate of lines or units; and

monitoring equipment specified in Section 218.105(d) of this Part and the 

monitoring equipment is installed, calibrated, operated and maintained according 

to vendor specifications at all times the control device is in use. A capture system 

and control device, which does not demonstrate compliance with subsection (c), 

(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), or (m), or (n) of this Section may be used as an 

alternative to compliance with Section 218.204 of this Subpart only if the 

alternative is approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP 

revision. The owner or operator of a pleasure craft surface coating operation 

subject to Section 218.204(q)(5)(A) through (G) of this Subpart may also comply

2) The system used to control VOM from the coating line is demonstrated to 

have an overall efficiency sufficient to limit VOM emissions to no more 

than what is allowed under Section 218.204 of this Subpart. Use of any 

control system other than an afterburner, carbon adsorption, condensation, 

or absorption scrubber system can be allowed only if approved by the 

Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. The use of transfer 

efficiency credits can be allowed only if approved by the Agency and 

approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. Baseline transfer efficiencies 

and transfer efficiency test methods must be approved by the Agency and 

the USEPA. Such overall efficiency is to be determined as follows: 

A) Obtain the emission limitation from the appropriate subsection in 

Section 218.204 of this Subpart; 

B) Unless complying with an emission limitation in Section 218.204 

that is already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of 

solids, calculateCalculate "S" according to the equation in Section 

218.206 of this Subpart; 

C) Calculate the overall efficiency required according to Section 

218.105(e) of this Part. For the purposes of calculating this value, 

according to the equation in Section 218.105(e)(2) of this Part, 

VOMl is equal to the value of "S" as determined in subsection 

(b)(2)(B) of this Section. If the coating line is complying with an 

emission limitation in Section 218.204 of this Subpart that is 

already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of 

solids, VOM1 is equal to that emission limitation.

Section 218.208 Exemptions from Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 218.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day ([15 lbs/day)] before the application of 

capture systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a 

source would not be subject to the limitations of Section 218.204(b) of this 

Subpart if the combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines 

never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems 

and control devices.) Prior to May 1, 2012, volatileVolatile organic material 

emissions from heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be 

combined with VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products 

coating lines to determine applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM 

emissions from heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines shall be 

combined with VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products 

coating lines and plastic parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. Any owner or operator of a coating source shall comply with the 

applicable coating analysis test methods and procedures specified in Section 

218.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements 

specified in Section 218.211(a) of this Subpart if total VOM emissions from the 

subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 kg/day ([15 lbs/day)]

before the application of capture systems and control devices and, therefore, are 

not subject to the limitations of Section 218.204 of this Subpart. Once a category 

of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations in Section 218.204 of this 

Subpart the coating lines are always subject to the limitations in Section 218.204 

of this Subpart.

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

a) Testing to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Subpart shall be 

conducted by the owner or operator within 90 days after a request by the Agency, 

or as otherwise provided in this Subpart. The testing shall be conducted at the 

expense of the owner or operator and the owner or operator shall notify the 

Agency in writing 30 days in advance of conducting the testing to allow the 

Agency to be present during testing.

b) Testing to demonstrate compliance with the VOM content limitations in Section 

218.901(b) of this Subpart shall be conducted as follows: 

1) Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part, shall 

be used for non-reactive adhesives. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction 

of the Agency and the USEPA that plant adhesive formulation data are 

equivalent to Method 24 results, formulation data may be used. In the 

event of any inconsistency between a Method 24 test and a facility's 

formulation data, the Method 24 test will govern;

2) Appendix A of 40 CFR 63, Subpart PPPP, incorporated by reference in 

Section 218.112 of this Part, shall be used for reactive adhesives.

3) The manufacturer's specifications for VOM content for adhesives may be 

used if the specifications are based on results of tests of the VOM content 

conducted in accordance with methods specified in subsections (b)(1) and 

(b)(2) of this Section, as applicable.

c) For afterburners and carbon adsorbers, the methods and procedures of Section 

218.105(d) through (f) of this Part shall be used for testing to demonstrate 

compliance with the requirements of Section 218.901(d) of this Subpart, as 

follows:

1) To select the sampling sites, Method 1 or 1A, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, 

appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part;

2) To determine the volumetric flow rate of the exhaust stream, Method 2, 

2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, appendix A, incorporated by 

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part;
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14319

 10 

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

3) To determine the VOM concentration of the exhaust stream entering and 

exiting the emissions control system, Method 25 or 25A, as appropriate, 

40 CFR 60, appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of 

this Part. For thermal and catalytic afterburners, Method 25 must be used,

except under the following circumstances, in which case Method 25A 

must be used:

A) The allowable outlet concentration of VOM from the emissions 

control system is less than 50 ppmv, as carbon;

B) The VOM concentration at the inlet of the emissions control 

system and the required level of control result in exhaust 

concentrations of VOM of 50 ppmv, or less, as carbon; 

C) Due to the high efficiency of the emissions control system, the 

anticipated VOM concentration at the emissions control system 

exhaust is 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, regardless of inlet 

concentration. If the source elects to use Method 25A under this 

option, the exhaust VOM concentration must be 50 ppmv or less, 

as carbon, and the required destruction efficiency must be met for 

the source to have demonstrated compliance. If the Method 25A 

test results show that the required destruction efficiency apparently 

has been met, but the exhaust concentration is above 50 ppmv, as 

carbon, a retest is required. The retest shall be conducted using 

either Method 25 or 25A. If the retest is conducted using Method 

25A and the test results again show that the required destruction 

efficiency apparently has been met, but the exhaust concentration 

is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, the source must retest using Method 

25;

D) During testing, the cleaning equipment shall be operated at 

representative operating conditions and flow rates. 

d) An owner or operator using an emissions control system other than an afterburner 

or carbon adsorber shall conduct testing to demonstrate compliance with the 

requirements of Section 218.901(d) as set forth in the owner's or operator's plan 

approved by the Agency and USEPA pursuant to Section 218.901(d)(3).

rulemaking, please see the Board's September 2, 2010, opinion and order. Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic Material Emissions from 

Group IV Consumer & Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. 

Code 218 and 219, R10-10 (September 2, 2010). The Illinois Environmental Protection 

Agency (Agency) filed this rulemaking proposal to meet Illinois' obligation to submit a 

State Implementation Plan addressing requirements under Sections 172 and 182 of the 

federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq., for sources of volatile organic material 

(VOM) emissions in areas designated as nonattainment with respect to the ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) issued Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) for the following Group 

IV Consumer and Commercial Product Categories: miscellaneous metal and plastic parts 

coatings; auto and light-duty truck coatings; miscellaneous industrial adhesives; and 

fiberglass boat manufacturing materials. In the CTGs, the USEPA recommended control

SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 219.105 Test Methods and Procedures 

a) Coatings, Inks and Fountain Solutions 

The following test methods and procedures shall be used to determine compliance 

of as applied coatings, inks, and fountain solutions with the limitations set forth in 

this Part. 

1) Sampling: Samples collected for analyses shall be one-liter taken into a 

one-liter container at a location and time such that the sample will be 

representative of the coating as applied (i.e., the sample shall include any 

dilution solvent or other VOM added during the manufacturing process). 

The container must be tightly sealed immediately after the sample is taken. 

Any solvent or other VOM added after the sample is taken must be 

measured and accounted for in the calculations in subsection (a)(3) of this 

Section. For multiple package coatings, separate samples of each 

component shall be obtained. A mixed sample shall not be obtained as it 

will cure in the container. Sampling procedures shall follow the 

guidelines presented in: 

A) ASTM D 3925-81 (1985) standard practice for sampling liquid 

paints and related pigment coating. This practice is incorporated 

by reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. 

B) ASTM E 300-86 standard practice for sampling industrial 

chemicals. This practice is incorporated by reference in Section 

219.112 of this Part. 

2) Analyses: The applicable analytical methods specified below shall be 

used to determine the composition of coatings, inks, or fountain solutions 

as applied. 

A) Method 24 of 40 CFR 60, appendix Appendix A, incorporated by 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14341

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

reference in Section 219.112 of this Part, shall be used to 

determine the VOM content and density of coatings. If it is 

demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Agency and the USEPA that 

plant coating formulation data are equivalent to Method 24 results, 

formulation data may be used. In the event of any inconsistency 

between a Method 24 test and a facility's formulation data, the 

Method 24 test will govern. 

B) Method 24A of 40 CFR Part 60, appendix Appendix A, 

incorporated by reference in Section 219.112, shall be used to 

determine the VOM content and density of rotogravure printing 

inks and related coatings. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction 

of the Agency and USEPA that the plant coating formulation data 

are equivalent to Method 24A results, formulation data may be 

used. In the event of any inconsistency between a Method 24A 

test and formulation data, the Method 24A test will govern. 

C) The following ASTM methods are the analytical procedures for 

determining VOM: 

i) ASTM D 1475-85: Standard test method for density of 

paint, varnish, lacquer and related products. This test 

method is incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of 

this Part. 

ii) ASTM D 2369-87: Standard test method for volatile 

content of a coating. This test method is incorporated by 

reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. 

iii) ASTM D 3792-86: Standard test method for water content 

of water-reducible paints by direct injection into a gas 

chromatograph. This test method is incorporated by 

reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. 

iv) ASTM D 4017-81 (1987): Standard test method for water 

content in paints and paint materials by the Karl Fischer 

method. This test method is incorporated by reference in 

Section 219.112 of this Part.

v) ASTM D 4457-85: Standard test method for determination 

of dichloromethane and 1,1,1, trichloroethane in paints and 

coatings by direct injection into a gas chromatograph. (The 

procedure delineated above can be used to develop 

protocols for any compounds specifically exempted from 

the definition of VOM.) This test method is incorporated by 

reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. 

vi) ASTM D 2697-86: Standard test method for volume nonvolatile matter in clear or pigmented coatings. This test 

method is incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of 

this Part. 

vii) ASTM D 3980-87: Standard practice for interlaboratory 

testing of paint and related materials. This practice is 

incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. 

viii) ASTM E 180-85: Standard practice for determining the 

precision of ASTM methods for analysis of and testing of

c) Capture System Efficiency Test Protocols 

1) Applicability 

The requirements of subsection (c)(2) of this Section shall apply to all 

VOM emitting process emission units employing capture equipment (e.g., 

hoods, ducts), except those cases noted in this subsection (c)(1)below. 

A) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a permanent total 

enclosure (PTE) that meets Agency and USEPA specifications, 

and which directs all VOM to a control device, then the emission 

unit is exempted from the requirements described in subsection 

(c)(2) of this Section. The Agency and USEPA specifications to 

determine whether a structure is considered a PTE are given in 

Method 204 of appendix Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, 

incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. In this 

instance, the capture efficiency is assumed to be 100 percent and 

the emission unit is still required to measure control efficiency 

using appropriate test methods as specified in subsection (d) of this 

Section. 

B) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a control device 

designed to collect and recover VOM (e.g., carbon adsorber), an 

explicit measurement of capture efficiency is not necessary 

provided that the conditions given below are met. The overall 

control of the system can be determined by directly comparing the 

input liquid VOM to the recovered liquid VOM. The general 

procedure for use in this situation is given in 40 CFR 60.433, 

incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of this Part, with the 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14345

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

following additional restrictions: 

i) The source owner or operator shall obtain data each 

operating day for the solvent usage and solvent recovery to 

permit the determination of the solvent recovery efficiency 

of the system each operating day using a 7-day rolling 

period. The recovery efficiency for each operating day is 

computed as the ratio of the total recovered solvent for that 

day and the most recent prior 6 operating days to the total 

solvent usage for the same 7-day period used for the 

recovered solvent, rather than a 30-day weighted average as 

given in 40 CFR 60.433 incorporated by reference in 

Section 219.112 of this Part. This ratio shall be expressed 

as a percentage. The ratio shall be computed within 72 

hours following each 7-day period. A source that believes 

that the 7-day rolling period is not appropriate may use an 

alternative multi-day rolling period not to exceed 30 days, 

with the approval of the Agency and USEPA. In addition, 

the criteria in subsection (c)(1)(B)(ii) or subsection 

(c)(1)(B)(iii) below must be met. 

ii) The solvent recovery system (i.e., capture and control 

system) must be dedicated to a single coating line, printing 

line, or other discrete activity that by itself is subject to an 

applicable VOM emission standard, or 

iii) If the solvent recovery system controls more than one 

coating line, printing line or other discrete activity that by 

itself is subject to an applicable VOM emission standard, 

the overall control (i.e., the total recovered VOM divided 

by the sum of liquid VOM input from all lines and other 

activities venting to the control system) must meet or 

exceed the most stringent standard applicable to any line or 

other discrete activity venting to the control system. 

2) Capture Efficiency Protocols 

The capture efficiency of an emission unit shall be measured using one of 

the protocols given below. Appropriate test methods to be utilized in each 

of the capture efficiency protocols are described in appendix Appendix M

this Part, the VOM content of the liquid input (L) must be 

determined using Method 204A or 204F in appendix Appendix M 

of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference in Section 219.112 of 

this Part. The VOM content of the captured gas stream (G) to the 

control device must be determined using Method 204B or 204C in 

appendix Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by 

reference in Section 219.112 of this Part. The results of capture 

efficiency calculations (G/L) must satisfy the DQO or LCL 

statistical analysis methodology as described in Section 3 of 

USEPA's "Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency," 

incorporated by reference at Section 219.112 of this Part. Where 

capture efficiency testing is done to determine emission reductions 

for the purpose of establishing emission credits for offsets, 

shutdowns, and trading, the LCL protocol cannot be used for these 

applications. In enforcement cases, the LCL protocol cannot 

confirm non-compliance; capture efficiency must be determined 

using a protocol under subsection (c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of this 

Section, the DQO protocol of this subsection (c)(2)(E), or an 

alternative protocol pursuant to Section 219.108(b) of this Part. 

BOARD NOTE: Where LCL was used in testing emission units 

that are the subject of later requests for establishing emission 

credits for offsets, shutdowns, and trading, prior LCL results may 

not be relied upon to determine the appropriate amount of credits. 

Instead, to establish the appropriate amount of credits, additional 

testing may be required that would satisfy the protocol of Section 

219.105(c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D), the DQO protocol of Section 

219.105(c)(2)(E), or an alternative protocol pursuant to Section 

219.108(b) of this Part. 

3) Simultaneous testing of multiple lines or emission units with a common 

control device. If an owner or operator has multiple lines sharing a 

common control device, the capture efficiency of the lines may be tested 

simultaneously, subject to the following provisions: 

A) Multiple line testing must meet the criteria of Section 4 of 

USEPA's "Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency," 

incorporated by reference at Section 219.112 of this Part;

Except as provided in Sections 219.205, 219.207, 219.208, 219.212, 219.215 and 219.216 of this 

Subpart, no owner or operator of a coating line shall apply at any time any coating in which the 

VOM content exceeds the following emission limitations for the specified coating. Except as 

otherwise provided in subsections (a), (c), (g), (h), (j), (l), (n), and (o), and (q) of this Section, 

compliance with the emission limitations marked with an asterisk in this Section is required on 

and after March 15, 1996, and compliance with emission limitations not marked with an asterisk 

is required until March 15, 1996. The following emission limitations are expressed in units of 

VOM per volume of coating (minus water and any compounds which are specifically exempted 

from the definition of VOM) as applied at each coating applicator, except where noted. 

Compounds which are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM should be treated as 

water for the purpose of calculating the "less water" part of the coating composition. Compliance 

with this Subpart must be demonstrated through the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements specified in Section 219.211(c) of this Subpart except where noted. (Note: The 

equation presented in Section 219.206 of this Part shall be used to calculate emission limitations 

for determining compliance by add-on controls, credits for transfer efficiency, emissions trades 

and cross-line averaging.) The emission limitations are as follows:

Section 219.207 Alternative Emission Limitations 

a) Any owner or operator of a coating line subject to Section 219.204 of this 

Subpart, except coating lines subject to Section 219.204(q)(6), may comply with 

this Section, rather than with Section 219.204 of this Subpart, if a capture system 

and control device are operated at all times the coating line is in operation and the 

owner or operator demonstrates compliance with subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), 

(h), (i), (j), (k), or (l), or (m) of this Section (depending upon the source category) 

through the applicable coating analysis and capture system and control device 

efficiency test methods and procedures specified in Section 219.105 of this Part 

and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(e) 

of this Subpart; and the control device is equipped with the applicable monitoring 

equipment specified in Section 219.105(d) of this Part and the monitoring 

equipment is installed, calibrated, operated and maintained according to vendor 

specifications at all times the control device is in use. A capture system and 

control device, which does not demonstrate compliance with subsection (c), (d), 

(e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), or (l), or (m) of this Section may be used as an 

alternative to compliance with Section 219.204 of this Subpart only if the 

alternative is approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP 

revision. The owner or operator of a pleasure craft surface coating operation 

subject to Section 219.204(q)(5)(A) through (G) of this Subpart may also comply 

with subsection (n) of this Section, rather than with Section 219.204 of this 

Subpart.

b) Alternative Add-On Control Methodologies 

1) The coating line is equipped with a capture system and control device that 

provides 81 percent reduction in the overall emissions of VOM from the 

coating line and the control device has a 90 percent efficiency; or 

2) The system used to control VOM from the coating line is demonstrated to 

have an overall efficiency sufficient to limit VOM emissions to no more 

than what is allowed under Section 219.204 of this Subpart. Use of any 

control system other than an afterburner, carbon adsorption, condensation, 

or absorption scrubber system can be allowed only if approved by the 

Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. The use of transfer

efficiency credits can be allowed only if approved by the Agency and 

approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. Baseline transfer efficiencies 

and transfer efficiency test methods must be approved by the Agency and 

the USEPA. Such overall efficiency is to be determined as follows: 

A) Obtain the emission limitation from the appropriate subsection in 

Section 219.204 of this Subpart; 

B) Unless complying with an emission limitation in Section 219.204 

that is already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of 

solids, calculateCalculate "S" according to the equation in Section 

219.206 of this Subpart; 

C) Calculate the overall efficiency required according to Section 

219.105(e) of this Part. For the purposes of calculating this value, 

according to the equation in Section 219.105(e)(2) of this Part, 

VOM1 is equal to the value of "S" as determined in subsection 

(b)(2)(B) of this Section. If the coating line is complying with an 

emission limitation in Section 219.204 of this Subpart that is 

already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of 

solids, VOM1 is equal to that emission limitation.

c) No owner or operator of a coating line subject to only one of the emission 

limitations from among Section 219.204(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(D)(4),

Section 219.208 Exemptions From Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 219.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture 

systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source 

would not be subject to the limitations of Section 219.204(b) of this Subpart if the 

combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control 

devices.) Prior to May 2012, volatileVolatile organic material emissions from 

heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM 

emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and

products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or operator of a 

coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(a) of this Subpart if total 

VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices 

and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 219.204 of this 

Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations 

in Section 219.204 of this Part the coating lines are always subject to the 

limitations in Section 219.204 of this Subpart. 

b) Applicability for wood furniture coating 

1) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines if the source contains process emission units, not regulated 

by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 219.204(l) of this Subpart), H 

(excluding Section 219.405 of this Part), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

219.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part, which as a group both:

more per calendar year of VOM if no air pollution control 

equipment were used, and 

B) Are not limited to less than 91 Mg (100 tons) of VOM per calendar 

year if no air pollution control equipment were used, through 

production or capacity limitations contained in a federally 

enforceable permit or SIP revision. 

2) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process 

emission units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25 

tons) or more of VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to 

less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per calendar year through production 

or capacity limitations contained in a federally enforceable operating 

permit or SIP revision, and thatwhich: 

A) Are not regulated by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 

219.204(l) of this Subpart), H, Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

219.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part; and 

B) Are not included in any of the following categories: synthetic 

organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) distillation, 

SOCMI reactors, plastic parts coating (business machines), plastic 

parts coating (other), offset lithography, industrial wastewater, 

autobody refinishing, SOCMI batch processing, volatile organic 

liquid storage tanks and clean-up solvents operations. 

3) If a source ceases to fulfill the criteria of subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 

Section, the limitations of Section 219.204(l) of this Subpart shall continue 

to apply to any wood furniture coating line which was ever subject to the 

limitations of Section 219.204(l) of this Subpart. 

4) For the purposes of subsection (b) of this Section, an emission unit shall 

be considered to be regulated by a Subpart if it is subject to the limitations 

of that Subpart. An emission unit is not considered regulated by a Subpart 

if it is not subject to the limits of that Subpart, e.g., the emission unit is 

covered by an exemption in the Subpart or the applicability criteria of the

Section 219.212 Cross-Line Averaging to Establish Compliance for Coating Lines 

a) On and after March 15, 1996, any owner or operator of a coating line subject to 

the limitations set forth in Section 219.204 of this Subpart, except coating lines 

subject to the limitations in Section 219.204(a)(2), (c)(2), (g)(2), (h)(2), or (o) or 

(q) of this Subpart, and with coating lines in operation prior to January 1, 1991 

("pre-existing coating lines"), may, for pre-existing coating lines only, elect to 

comply with the requirements of this Section, rather than complying with the 

applicable emission limitations set forth in Section 219.204, if an operational 

change of the type described below has been made after January 1, 1991, to one 

or more pre-existing coating lines at the source. An operational change occurs 

when a pre-existing coating line is replaced with a line using lower VOM coating 

for the same purpose as the replaced line ("replacement line"). A source electing 

to rely on this Section to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this 

Subpart shall operate pursuant to federally enforceable permit conditions 

approved by the Agency and USEPA. 

b) An owner or operator of pre-existing coating lines subject to a VOM content 

limitation in Section 219.204 of this Subpart and electing to rely on this Section to 

demonstrate compliance with this Subpart must establish, by use of the equations 

in subsection (d) of this Section, that the calculated actual daily VOM emissions 

from all participating coating lines, as defined in this subsectionbelow, are less 

than the calculated daily allowable VOM emissions from the same group of 

coating lines. For any pre-existing coating line to be aggregated for the purposes 

of Section 219.212, 219.213, or 219.214 of this Subpart ("participating coating 

lines"), the source must establish that: 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 14429

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

1) All coatings applied on the participating coating line shall, at all times, 

have a VOM content less than or equal to the applicable VOM content 

limitation for such coating listed in Appendix H of this Part; and 

2) On the date the source elects to rely on this Section to demonstrate 

compliance with this Subpart, all coatings applied on the participating 

coating line are not already in compliance with the VOM content 

limitation for such coating effective on or after March 15, 1996; or the 

participating coating line is a replacement line, as defined in subsection (a) 

of this Section with an operational change occurring on or after January 1, 

1991. 

c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, any owner or operator of a coating 

line subject to the limitations set forth in Section 219.204 of this Subpart and 

electing to rely on this Section to demonstrate compliance with this Subpart, may 

also include as a participating coating line, until December 31, 1999, only, any 

replacement line that satisfies all of the following conditions: 

1) The replacement line is operated as a powder coating line; 

2) The replacement line was added after July 1, 1988; and 

3) The owner or operator also includes as a participating coating line one or 

more coating lines that satisfy the criteria of a replacement line, as 

described in subsection (a) of this Section. 

d) To demonstrate compliance with this Section, a source shall establish the 

following: 

1) An alternative daily emission limitation shall be determined for all 

participating coating lines at the source according to subsection (d)(2) of 

this Section. All participating coating lines shall be factored in each day 

to demonstrate compliance. Provided compliance is established pursuant 

to the requirements in this subsection, nothing in this Section requires 

daily operation of each participating line. Actual daily emissions from all 

participating coating lines (Ed) shall never exceed the alternative daily 

emission limitation (Ad) and shall be calculated by use of the following

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

A) The allowable outlet concentration of VOM from the emissions 

control system is less than 50 ppmv, as carbon;

B) The VOM concentration at the inlet of the emissions control 

system and the required level of control result in exhaust 

concentrations of VOM of 50 ppmv, or less, as carbon; 

C) Due to the high efficiency of the emissions control system, the 

anticipated VOM concentration at the emissions control system 

exhaust is 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, regardless of inlet 

concentration. If the source elects to use Method 25A under this 

option, the exhaust VOM concentration must be 50 ppmv or less, 

as carbon, and the required destruction efficiency must be met for 

the source to have demonstrated compliance. If the Method 25A 

test results show that the required destruction efficiency apparently 

has been met, but the exhaust concentration is above 50 ppmv, as 

carbon, a retest is required. The retest shall be conducted using 

either Method 25 or Method 25A. If the retest is conducted using 

Method 25A and the test results again show that the required 

destruction efficiency apparently has been met, but the exhaust 

concentration is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, the source must retest 

using Method 25;

D) During testing, the cleaning equipment shall be operated at 

representative operating conditions and flow rates. 

d) An owner or operator using an emissions control system other than an afterburner 

or carbon adsorber shall conduct testing to demonstrate compliance with the 

requirements of Section 219.901(d) as set forth in the owner's or operator's plan 

approved by the Agency and USEPA pursuant to Section 219.901(d)(3).

Adm. Code 218.112 and 219.112, as applicable. Where such a method also 

measures compounds with negligible photochemical reactivity, these negligiblyreactive compounds may be excluded as VOM if the amount of such compounds 

is accurately quantified and the exclusion is approved by the Agency. 

c) As a precondition to excluding these negligibly-reactive compounds as VOM, or 

at any time thereafter, the Agency may require an owner or operator to provide 

monitoring or testing methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the 

Agency, the amount of negligibly-reactive compounds in the source’s emissions. 

d) The USEPA will not be bound by any State determination as to appropriate 

methods for testing or monitoring negligibly-reactive compounds if such 

determination is not reflected in any of the test methods in subsection (b) above. 

e) The following compound is VOM for the purposes of all recordkeeping, 

emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory 

requirements that apply to VOM, and it must be uniquely identified in emission 

reports, but it is not VOM for the purposes of VOM emissions limitations or 

VOM content requirements: t-butyl acetate.
