1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT DOCUMENT Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Sources

– Houston Galveston Brazoria (HGB) 1997 8 - Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area

EPA - R06 - OAR - 2012 - 0 1002 This TSD concerns our review of the RACT

- related provisions of the 30 TAC Chapter115 for Vo latile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

. T his TSD reviews portions of two different SIP submittals from Texas. Specifically, t he first submittal is Texas’ S tate I mplementation P lan (SIP) revision dated June 13, 200 7, and the second one is Texas’ SIP submittal of April 6, 2010. No material in either of these two SIP submittals was designated as Co nfidential Business Information (CBI). In this TSD , we are reviewing control requirements of certain industrial sectors f rom the mat erial s presented in Appendices D of the June 13, 2007 , and April 6, 2010 SIP submittals titled “ Reasonably Available Control Technology Analysis

. ” The EPA had previously approved RACT for VOC and Oxides of Nitrogen ( NOx ) into Texas’ SIP under t he 1

- Hour ozone standard. On April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19599) we finalized approv al of RACT for several VOC emitting sectors in the HGB area under the 1997 8

- H our ozone National Ambient Air Quality S tandard (NAAQS)

. In this document , w e are addressing those r emaining portions of the SIP submittals concerning the following CTG categories for RACT purposes in the HGB 8

- Hou r ozone nonattainment area . Th is action addresses the CTG categories that were not included in the April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19599) rulemaking act ion and are listed in Table A. Table A below summarizes the affected source categories in the HG B area, CTG documents issued by EPA , and the corresponding Texas rules which address these particular CTG control requirements. We are also proposing approval of the negative declarations for source categories that Texas reports do not exist or operate in the HGB Area for the 1997 8

- Hour ozone standard. The RACT for the more recently EPA

- issued CTG series (2006

- 2008 CTGs) is not subject of this rulemaking actio n , and EPA will be acting on those sectors in a separate rulemaking action.

What EPA document contains guidance concerning relationship of the 1 - Hou r RACT and the 1997 8 - Hour RACT?
T he May 18, 2006 Memorandum from William T. Harnett, Director, Air Quality Policy Division to Regional Air Division Directors titled “RACT Qs & As

– Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT): Questions and Answers” (EPA’s May 18, 2006 RACT Q and A docu ment ) explains the relationship of the 1

- Hour RACT and the 1997 8

- Hour RACT in the form of a series of questions and answers. This document is available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/t1/memoranda/ractqanda.pdf (URL dating June 12, 2012)

. What Framework d id Texas use to conduct its RACT analysis?4 Texas submitted a RACT assessment in its SIP revision s of June 13, 2007 and April 6, 2010. In th ose submittal s , Texas evaluated its existing RACT regulations which were federally approved and adopted to meet the 1

- hour ozone standard to ascertain whether the se regulations constitute RACT for the new 8

- hour ozone NAAQS. Texas’ 8

- H our ozone RACT SIP submittal s are based on the determination that RACT has been met either through a certification that previously requi red RACT controls for the 1

- hour ozone standard represent RACT for 8

- hour ozone implementation purposes or, where necessary, through a new RACT evaluation for certain regulatio ns or sources. See section 3.3.2 of Appendix D, April 6, 2010 submittal. In mak ing its 8

- H our ozone RACT determination, Texas also relied on EPA’s May 18, 2006 RACT Q and A document

. See section 3.3 of Appendix D, April 6, 2010 submittal. A ccordingly, the framework for Texas’ RACT SIP determination is to :

• Identify all source categor ies covered by Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) and Alternative Control Technique (ACT) documents.

• Identify applicable regulations that implement RACT.

• Certify that the existing level of controls established for the 1

- hour ozone standard satisfies RACT u nder the 8

- hour ozone standard, or

• Declare that sources covered by a CTG and ACT do not exist within the state and/or that RACT is not applicable in certain cases , or

• Identify potential RACT revisions necessary to implement RACT

.

For w hat source categorie s , in the HGB A rea , did Texas announce a negative declaration? In Table D of its April 6, 2010 submittal Texas also declared that the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials (see section 3.3.4.2 of RACT discussion, April 6, 2010 submittal) O perations , Leat her Tanning and Finishing Operations (SIC 3111) , Surface C oat ing for Flat Wood Paneling ( see section 3.3.2.1 of RACT discussion, April 6, 2010 submittal) O perations , Automobile and Light

- Duty Truck Assembly Coatin g ( see section 3.3.4 of RACT discussion, Ap ril 6, 2010 submittal) O perations , and Vegetable Oil Man ufacturing O perations (SIC 2046 and 2076) do not exist or are not major sources in the HGB Area. As such, TCEQ does not have to adopt VOC regulations for these source categories at this time for the H GB Area for 1997 8

-5 Hour ozone standard . However, if a major source of this category locates in the HGB Area in future, then TCEQ will need to take appropriate regulatory measures for SIP purposes. W e are proposing to approve Texas’ negative declaration f or these source categories. As a part of 77 FR 58063 (September 19, 201 2 ) RACT rulemaking action we approved a negative declaration for the Rubber Tire Manufacturing O perations (SIC 3011) in the HGB Area. This September 19, 2012 RACT action was a consent decree driven rulemaking. The 77 FR 58063 action was finalized at 78 FR 19599 (April 2, 2013). What is our review of Texas’ RACT analysis ? By approving RACT under the 1

- Hour ozone standard ( 70 FR 58136, October 5, 2005; and 71 FR 52676, September 6, 20 06 ) we found that control measures in 30 TAC Chapter 115 meet the lowest emissions limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available, considering technological and economic feasi bility

. EPA’s May 18, 2006 RACT Q and A document recommends a State certif y after review that its regulations continue to represent RACT fo r the 1997 8

- Hour ozone NAAQS. Th e certification approach is in agreement with the 70 FR 71612, November 29, 2008 (Fi nal Rule to Implement the 8

- Hour Ozone NAAQS).

– 429

Section 115.420 defines terms used in surface coati ng operations. Such definitions provide for consistency in application and enforcement of the rules. Section 115.421 concerns the VOC content of coatings which are applied to aerospace vehicles or components must not exceed the following limits established in paragraphs 11A and 11B. Section 115. 422 requires the following application techniques to be used when applying any primer or topcoat to aerospace vehicles or component s: flow/ curtain coating; dip coating; roll coating; brush coating; cotton

- tipped swab application; electro

- deposition coating; HVLP spraying; electrostatic spraying; or other coating application methods that achieve emission reductions equivalent to high

- volume low

- pressure ( HVLP ) or electrostatic spray application6 methods. In addition, cleaning solvents used in hand

- wipe cleaning operations must meet the definition of aqueous cleaning solvent (see §115.420(b)(1)(I)) or need to have a VOC composite vapor pressure less than or equal to 45 mm Hg at 20 degrees Celsius. These emission specifications will facilitate compliance determination. Section 115.42 3 provides for an alternative means control for surface coating operations. Emissions calculations shall be based on the pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per gallon of solids for all affected coatings. This section provides for operational flexibility for operations. Section 115.424 establishes that the owner or operator of each surface coating proces s must provide samples, without charge, upon request by representatives of the executive director, EPA, or local air pollution control agency. In addition, the representative or inspector requesting the sample will determine the amount of coating needed to test the sample to determine compliance. This section promotes a source compliant operation. Section 115.42 5 establishes what test methods are to be used for testing requirements of the surface coating operations. Among these methods include: Test Method 24 (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 60, Appendix A) with a one

Adoption of these approved Test Methods will provi de for federally enforce able mechanism for Chapter 115. Section 115.426 sets forth what parameters are to be monitored and what records are to be maintained by the owner or operator of each surface coating process . Among the monitored parameters are the ma terial data sheets, and the quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed during the specified averaging period . R ecords shall be maintained for at least two years and shall be made available upon request by representatives of the executive direct or, EPA, or any local air pollution control agency establishes

. Furthermore, compliance with the recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR 63.752, (National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities), is considered to represent compli ance with the7 requirements of this section (relating to Monitoring and Recordkeeping Requirements). This section will facilitate compliance determination. Section 115.427 states what surface coating processes are exempt for compliance with the emission sp ecifications of pounds of VOC per gallon of coating. See §115.421(a)(9). This section will facilitate inspection and enforcement of the rule. Section 115.429 sets forth the counties in which surface coating operations at the aerospace sources are subject to these control requirements. For compliance dates see §115.930. Sections 115.420

- 429 will p rovide for controlling VOC emissions from this sector. We have previously stated that the VOC requirements under the Act are in place for the HGB area for the 1

- Hour ozone NAAQS (70 FR 58136, October 5, 2005; and 71 FR 52676, September 6, 2006) , thus finding that these control measures meet those described in EPA’s Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Coating Operations at Aerospace Manufacturing an d Rework Operations, EPA

Section 115.510 defines cutback a sphalt as a ny asphaltic cement which has been liquefied by blending with petroleum solvents (diluents)

. Establishing such definition s provide for consistency in application and enforcement of the rules.15 Section 115.512 restricts the use, application, sale, or offering for sale of conventional cutback asphalt containing VOC solvents for paving roadways, driveways, or parking lots durin g the period from April 16 to September 15 of any year as a means of VOC control. Section 115.513 provides for a lternate means of control if emission reductions are demonstrated to be substantially equivalent. This section provides for operational flexib ility for operations. Section 115.515 establishes test methods are to be used for testing requirements of the surface coating operations. These methods include American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Method D 244, Standard Test Methods for Em ulsified Asphalts, Sections 11 to 15, Residue and Oil Distillate by Distillation, as published in the 1997 edition of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, for determining volatile organic compound (VOC) content of asphalt emulsions; (2) ASTM Test Method D 4 02, Standard Test Method for Distillation of Cut

- Back Asphaltic Products, as published in the 1997 edition of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, for determining the VOC content of cutback asphalt. Adoption of these Test Methods will provide for consistenc y and enforcement of the rule. Section 115.516 states that any state, municipal, or county agency who uses or specifies the use of cutback asphalt or asphalt emulsion shall maintain records sufficient to document compliance with applicable restrictions and shall make such records available upon request to representatives of the executive director, EPA, or the local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction in the area. This requirement will facilitate inspection and enforcement of the rule. Section 1 15.517 states that asphalt concrete made with cutback asphalt, used for patching, which is stored in a long

Section 115.420 defines terms used i n surface coating operations. Such definitions provide for consistency in application and enforcement of the rules. Section 115.421 limits VOC emissions from the coating at wood manufacturing operations (i) using topcoats with a VOC content to no greater than 0.8 kilograms of VOC per kilogram of solids (0.8 pounds of VOC per pound of solids), as delivered to the application system; or (ii) if using a finishing system of sealers with a VOC content to no greater than 1.9 kilograms of VOC per kilogram of sol ids (1.9 pounds of VOC per pound of solids), as applied, and topcoats with a VOC content to no greater than 1.8 kilograms of VOC per kilogram of solids (1.8 pounds of VOC per pound of solids), as delivered to the application system

. Section 115.422 provid es for control requirements such that n o compounds containing more than 8.0% by weight of VOC may be used for cleaning spray booth components other than conveyors, continuous coaters and their enclosures, and/or metal filters. And if the spray booth is bei ng refurbished , then the spray booth coating or other material used to cover the booth is being replaced is limited to no more than 1.0 gallon of organic solvent. For control purposes c losed containers must be used for storage of finishing, cleaning, and w ash off materials. See section 1 15.422(3)(B). Section 115.423 provides for an alternative means of control for surface coating operations. Emissions calculations s hall be based on the pounds of VOC per gallon of solids for all affected coatings. This sec tion provides for operational flexibility for operations. Section 115.424 establishes that the owner or operator of each surface coating process must provide samples, without charge, upon request by representatives of the executive director, EPA, or local air pollution control agency. In addition, the representative or inspector requesting the17 sample will determine the amount of coating needed to test the sample to determine compliance. This section promotes a source compliant operation. Section 115.42 5 est ablishes what test methods are to be used for testing requirements of the surface coating operations.

Section 115.552 provides for c ontrol r equirements for this sector by requiring owner or operator of a dry cleaning facility to install, maintain, and operate a solvent

- recovery dryer that recovers at least 85% by weight of the used petroleum solvent; install, maintain, and operate a petroleum dry

to

- dry dryer that recovers at least 85% by weight of the used petroleum solvent; o r route the exhaust air stream from the standard dryer to any other properly functioning control device which reduces the total emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to the atmosphere by at least 85% by weight. Section 115.553 allows for a lternat e means of c ontrol by demonstrating and documenting continuous compliance

. This section provides for operational flexibility of the facility

. Section 115.555 requires the owner or operator of an affected facility shall perform an initial test to verify tha t the flow rate of recovered solvent from the recovery dryer is no greater than 1.7 fluid ounces per minute (50 milliliters per minute) at the termination of the recovery cycle. The test must be conducted for the duration of one week during which no less than 50% of the dryer loads shall be monitored for their final recovered solvent flow rate. The methods used for testing include EPA Test Methods 1

- 4 (40 CFR 60, Appendix A ) for determining flow rate, as necessary; Test Method 18 for determining gaseous or ganic compound emissions by gas chromatography; Test Method 25 for determining total gaseous non

- methane organic emissions as carbon; and Test Methods 25A for determining total gaseous organic concentrations using flame ionization or non

dispersive infrare d analysis. Adoption of these approved Test Methods will provide for federally enforceable mechanism for Chapter 115. Section 115.556 requires records of the performance test be maintained to demonstrate compliance with control requirements. This section w ill facilitate inspection and enforcement of the rule. Section 115.557 states that any petroleum solvent dry cleaning facility that consumes less than 2,000 gallons of petroleum solvent per year is exempted from the control requirements provisions of this sector. This section will facilitate inspection and enforcement of the rule.19 Section 115.559 sets forth the counties in which large petroleum dry cleaning facilities are subject to these control requirements

Based on EPA’s May 18, 2006 R ACT Q and A document, the framework described above, and TCEQ’s certification, a permissible approach per 70 FR 71612, November 29, 2008, that its level of control meets RACT (Appendix D of the April 6, 2010 SIP submittal) , and our review we are proposing that the requirements established in sections 115.552

- 559 represent RACT for this sector under the 8

- Hour ozone NAAQS.

The intended effect of this propos ed action , combined with the April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19599) final action , is that Texas has VOC RACT in p lace for all sectors within the HGB a rea under the 1997 8

- Hour ozone NAAQS , with the exception of the 2006

- 2008 CTG series. As stated earlier, t he RACT review of Texas rules for the 2006

- 2008 CTG series is not subject of this rulemaking action , and EPA wil l be acting on RACT for those sectors in a separate rulemaking action. The 2006

- 2008 CTG s eries sectors (the eleven sectors) are:

The 2006

- 2008 CTG series sectors Flat Wood Paneling Coatings; Flexible Packaging Printing Materials; Industrial Cleaning S olvents; Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing; Large Appliance Coatings; Metal Furniture Coatings; Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; Auto and Light Duty Truck Assembly Coatings; Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials; Miscellaneous Industrial A dhesives; and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings.

Conclusion : The EPA had previously approved RACT for VOC and NOx into Texas’ SIP under the 1

- Hour ozone standard , thus finding that these control measures result in the lowest20 emissions limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting through application of control technology that is reasonably available, considering technological and economic feasibility . On April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19599) we finalized approval of RACT for several V OC emitting sectors in the HGB Area under the 1997 8

- Hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Based on EPA’s May 18, 2006 RACT Q and A document; the framework identified above; TCEQ’s certification ( a permissible approach per 70 FR 71612, November 29, 2008

- Final Rule to Implement the 8

- Hour Ozone NAAQS) of its RACT ; and our review w e are proposing to approve the 30 TAC Chapter 115 control requirements as meeting RACT for VOC sources identified in T able A in the HGB 1997 8

- Hour ozone nonat tainment area. Therefore, by implementing the 30 TAC Chapter 115 control requirements Texas has the 8

- Hour RACT in place for VOC source s identified in Table A in the HGB area. We recommend propos ing their approval into Texas SIP. We also recommend approva l of negative declarations into Texas SIP.
