EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 182(b)(2)(A) provides that for certain nonattainment 

areas, States must revise their State Implementation Plans (SIPS) to include reasonably 

available control technology (RACT) for each category of volatile organic compound 

(VOC) sources covered by a control techniques guidelines (CTG) document issued 

between November 15, 1990, and the date of attainment. In addition, Section 182(b)(2) 

requires that a CTG issued between November 15, 1990, and the date of attainment 

include the date by which States subject to Section 182(b) must submit SIP revisions in 

response to the CTG. 

EPA addressed source categories of VOC emissions in accordance with CAA Section 

183(e) on October 7, 2008, by amending 40 CFR Part 59 Subpart A Section 59.1 for 

Consumer and Commercial Products, Group IV [73 FR 584811: Control Techniques 

Guidelines in Lieu of Regulations for Miscellaneous Metal Products Coatings, Plastic 

Parts Coatings, Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings, Fiberglass Boat 

Manufacturing Materials, and Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives. 

States with moderate or above ozone nonattainment areas as of that date were required to 

submit SIP revisions to EPA addressing these requirements on or before October 7,2009. 

Source categories covered under the "Group IV" heading are: 

0 Miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coatings; 

0 Automobile and light-duty truck assembly coatings; 

0 Fiberglass boat manufacturing materials; 

o Miscellaneous industrial adhesives; and 

Aerosol coatings 

EPA is addressing the Group IV source category of "aerosol coating" under 40 CFR Part 

59 (i.e., as a National VOC Emission Standard). 

Georgia EPD undertook the task of reviewing existing VOC control measures for 

industry groups covered by the federal 2008 Group IV CTGs using the Group IV CTGs 

and EPA's Blue ~oolc'. The location of the indushy groups for this study are those 

located in the current 20-county, Atlanta 8-hour ozone moderate non-attainment area 

consisting of Bamow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb,

Georgia is submitting this Group IV CTG SIP revision, in accordance with CAA Section 

182(b)(2)(A), to address the changes to existing VOC control measures in Georgia 

Chapter 391-3-1. 

It is important to note that the State of Georgia does not rely on the reduction of 

VOCs as part of its control strategy for the attainment of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 8-hour ozone. Anthropogenic VOCs are 

overwhelmed by biogenic VOCs in the Southeast, resulting in NOx limited ozone 

formation as detailed in the Atlanta 8-hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration 

submitted to EPA on October 21,2009. 
Georgia Group IV CTG SIP Revision 

1.0 REGULATORY BACKGROUND 

1.1 Atlanta Ozone Nonattainment Area 

Under the former 1-hr ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), the 

previous 13-county Atlanta ozone nonattainment area, consisting of Cherokee, Clayton, 

Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Padding 

and Rockdale Counties, was classified as a severe nonattaimnent area. As a part of the 

nonattainment designation, Georgia EPD implemented control measures for ozone 

precursors VOC and NOx that fulfilled the purposes of Section 182(b)(2) for the l-hour 

ozone NAAQS. These control measure provisions are still in place as part of the 

approved 1-hour ozone metro Atlanta maintenance plan. 

On April 30,2004, under the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the Atlanta nonattainment area 

was initially designated as a marginal nonattainment area and expanded hom the original 

13-county area by adding an additional 7-county area consisting of Barrow, Baitow, 

Canoll, Hall, Newton, Spalding and Walton to a 20-county, nonattainment area. Atlanta 

was reclassified as a moderate nonattainment area on March 6,2008. 

As presented in the Atlanta 8-hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration submitted to EPA 

on October 21,2009, Georgia EPD has demonstrated that the Atlanta Nonattainment area 

does not rely on VOCs to meet attainment for ozone and is considered a NOx-limited 

area due to ovelwhelming naturally occuning biogenic VOCs. 

The analyses of ozone, NO, and NOx data using the ozone M.A.P.P.E.R. program 

showed that ozone formation in Atlanta is generally transitional to NOx-limited, but 

when the results were binned according to the daily maximum &horn ozone, ozone 

formation wasstrongly NOx-limited on days of elevated ozone. An analysis of 

weeldweekday differences in ozone concentration also indicates a generally NOxlimited regime, with ozone formation becoming more NOx-limited in recent years 

compared to the late 1990s. 

These findings are generally in agreement with several studies of the trends and limiting 

factors for ozone formation in Atlanta. Pun et al. (2003)' investigated the weeltly 

patterns of ozone in Atlanta and found elevated midweek concentrations compared to 

weekends, with stronger weekly patterns in later years (1995-1999 compared to 1986- 

1990), concluding that the availability of NOx drives the weekly ozone cycle in Atlanta. 

Analyzing various aircraft measurements, Sillman et al. (1997)~ conclude that Atlanta 

ozone is mostly NOx-limited, using various indicator ratios.

Georgia Group IV CTG SIP Revision 

1.2 Clean Air Act Section 182(b)(2) Requirements 

Section 182@)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that a federal Control Technique 

Guideline (CTG) issued between November 15, 1990, and the date of attainment include 

the date by which States subject to Section 182(b) must submit SIP revisions in response 

to the CTG to include reasonably available control technology (RACT) for each category 

of volatile organic compound (VOC) sources covered by a CTG. 

RACT is defined as 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 economical feasibility (44 FR 53762; September 17, 1979). 

Documents useful in establishing RACT include Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs), 

Alternative Control Technique guidance (ACT), Maximum Achievable Control 

Technology (MACT) standards, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), and Best 

Available Control Technology (BACT) determinations. RACT requirements are 

included in the CAA to assure that significant source categories at major sources of ozone 

precursor emissions are controlled to a "reasonable" extent, but not necessarily to BACT 

levels expected of new major sources or major modifications to existing major sources; 

or to MACT required for major sources of hazardous air pollutants. 

EPA addressed the Group IV source categories with promulgation of a "Notice of Final 

Determination and Availability of Final Control Techniques Guidelines" on October 7, 

2008 [73 FR 584811. States with ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or 

above as of that date were required to submit SIP revisions to EPA addressing these 

requirements on or before October 7,2009. Source categories covered under the "Group 

IV" heading are: 

Miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coatings, 

0 Automobile and light-duty truck assembly coatings; 

Fiberglass boat manufacturing materials; 

Miscellaneous industrial adhesives; and 

Aerosol coatings. 

EPA addressed the Group IV source category of "aerosol coating" under 40 CFR Part 59 

(i.e., as a National VOC Emission Standard). 

1.3 Conclusion 

Georgia EPD undertook the task of reviewing existing VOC control measures for 

industry groups covered by the federal 2008 Group IV CTGs. This SIP revision contains 

a chapter for each Group IV CTG. 
Georgia Group IV CTG SIP Revision 

2.0 MISCELLANEOUS METAL AND PLASTIC PARTS 

SURFACE COATING 

2.1 Regulatory Background - Federal 

Miscellaneous metal and plastic parts surface coatings serve decorative, protective, and 

functional purposes. Coatings protect metal parts from corrosion by providing resistance 

to moisture, heat, and sometimes the outdoor elements. Plastic parts may be coated to 

provide color, texture, or protection, thus improving appearance and durability, and can 

also function to attenuate electromagnetic interferencelradio frequency interference 

(EMIIRFI) signals, and to conceal mold lines and flaws in the substrate surface. 

Metal Substrate, Not Including Pleasure Craft: There have been two federal actions 

that affect miscellaneous metal products surface coating operations prior to 2008. In June 

1978, EPA issued a CTG document (1978 CTG) for controlling VOC emissions fiom 

surface coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and ~roducts.~ In January 2004, EPA 

promulgated 40 CFX Part 63 Subpart MMMM - National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts 

and Products. 

Plastic Substrate, Not Including Pleasure Craft: For miscellaneous plastic products, 

prior to 2008, there have also been two Federal actions that affect surface coating 

operations. In 1988, the EPA issued a New Source Performance Standard (NSPS), 40 

CFR Part 60 Subpart TTT - Standurds of Performance for Industrial Surface Coating: 

Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines that applies to coating booths 

that began construction, reconstruction, or modification after January 8, 1986. The 

NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products, 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart PPPP - National 

Emission Standards for Hnzardous Air Pollutants for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts 

and Products, was promulgated April 19, 1994. 

The EPA issued an Alternative Control Techniques guideline in 1994 for VOC emissions 

from the surface coating of plastic parts in the automotive and other transportation 

equipment and business machine industries. 

2.2 Regulatory Background - State 

Metal Substrate, Not Including Pleasure Craft: Georgia EPD implemented Georgia 

Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(ii) "VOC Emissions from Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products" 

[a.k.a. Georgia Rule (ii)] to fulfill the VOC RACT requirements for the 1-hour ozone 

NAAQS. 

Georgia Rule (ii) was based on the 1978 federal CTG, which did not specify an 

applicability threshold. Because of this, the applicability threshold for Georgia Rule (ii) 

has varied since November 1980. One difference in the emission standards between the 

Guideline Series. Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources - Volume VI: 

Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products. Publication No. EPA-45012-78-015, US. 

EPA, June 1978. 
Georgia Group IV CTG SIP Revision 

1978 federal CTG and the emission standards specified in Georgia Rule (ii) is that the 

rule includes one more coating category than what is found in the CTG. The other 

coating categories, however, have low solvent coating technology emission limits 

identical to those specified in the 1978 federal CTG. Georgia Rule (ii) also goes beyond 

the 1978 federal CTG by specifying additional compliance options that were added by 

Georgia EPD in 1992. 

The 1978 federal CTG did not specify RACT based on coating applicator and neither 

does Georgia Rule (ii). Additionally, Georgia Rule (ii) has historically included VOC 

emissions from solvent washing unless the used solvent is transferred to covered storage. 

Plastic Substrate, Not Including Pleasure Craft: Georgia EPD implemented Georgia 

Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(tt) "VOC Emissions from Major Sources?' [a.k.a. Georgia Rule (it)] 

to fulfill the VOC RACT requirements for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for any major 

source of VOC emissions not covered by a more specific rule. This is used to implement 

case-by-case RACT analysis for determining control options and has been used in the 

past to cover the surface coating of plastic parts, products, andlor components. In order 

to meet the new CTG requirements for plastic substrate coatings, Georgia EPD has 

developed a new state rule category for miscellaneous surface coating of plastic parts 

and products and this new rule is Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(vvv), or Georgia Rule 

(~4. 

Metal and Plastic Substrate-Pleasure Craft: Pleasure craft coating operations for 

metal parts fall under this federal CTG. Georgia EPD has used case-by-case RACT 

analysis under Georgia Rule (tt) to fillfill the VOC RACT requirements for the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS for this surface coating category. Since there are no existing pleasure 

craft manufacturing facilities in the 20-county Atlanta ozone nonattainment area, EPD is 

making a negative declaration for this category of sources. 

2.3 2008 CTG and Existing State Rules 

In October 2008, EPA issued an updated CTG document for controlling VOC emissions 

from miscellaneous metal products surface coating operations. The following table 

indicates the miscellaneous metal and plastic parts and products covered under this CTG 

and the existing state rule used to regulate the category. Please note that automobile and 

transportation parts coating at a facility that is an assembly plant was previously 

covered by Georgia Rule (ii) for the coating of miscellaneous metal parts or on a case-bycase basis using Georgia Rule (tt) for plastic parts. Assembly plants were covered under 

Georgia Rule (t) for automobile and light duty truck manufacturing.

Emission Standards-Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Plastic Parts and Prodncts: 

The 2008 federal CTG for Miscellaneous Plastic Parts and Products specifies VOC 

content limits for the surface coating of plastic parts and products that fall in the category 

of automotive/transportation equipment or business machines parts. Those that are not 

part of automotive/transportation equipment or business machines category have a 

separate VOC content limit specified in the CTG. Georgia did not have a rule in place 

specifically for the coating of plastic parts and products, but instead evaluated these 

sources on a case-by-case basis under Georgia Rule (tt). Illustrated in Tables 2.4.6 

through Table 2.4.8 below is a comparison of the 2008 federal CTG with the emission 

limits from case-by-case determinations as required by Georgia Rule (tt). These emission 

limits have been incomorated into the ~ermits of affected sources and are not specified in L A 

Georgia Rule (tt). The permit limits are noted with an asterisk (") for clarity.

New Georgia Rule (wv) adopts the most stringent VOC content limit whether it comes 

from federal CTG or a case-by-case RACT determination for an existing source in 

Georgia. EPA is also recommending VOC content limits for certain motor vehicle 

materials used at facilities that are not automobile or light-duty truck assembly coating 

facilities. Georgia EPD is including these VOC content limits in the new Georgia Rule 

(wv) as well as such coating operations that may take place on plastic substrates not 

located at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant. 

Emission Standards-Pleasure Craft Coating Operations: EPA has established 

separate VOC content limits for surface coating of pleasure craft (recreational boats) for 

eight categories of coatings that could be used on metal or plastic substrates. Because of 

the uncertainty of the technical feasibility of the requirements in the pleasure craft CTG, 

and since there are no pleasure craft facilities in the nonattainment area, Georgia EPD is 

malcing a negative declaration for this source category. There are no existing pleasure 

craft facilities in the 20-county metro Atlanta ozone nonattainment area. VOC limits for 

pleasure craft will be addressed when and if a facility submits a permit application to 

construct and operate a pleasure craft manufacturing facility within the metro Atlanta 

nonattainment xea.

Options 

The application of low solvent coatinp 

technoiogy where each and every coatini 

meets the limit expressed in pounds VOC 

per gallon of coating, excluding water. 

Additionally, the rules allow the 

application of low solvent coating 

technology where the 24-hour weighted 

average of all coatings on a single coating 

line or operation meets the solids 

equivalent limit expressed in pounds VOC 

per gallon of coating solids; averaging 

across lines is not allowed. 

This option is not spelled out in the rule, 

but is completely acceptable as a 

compliance option as long as the coating 

Limits specified in the rule are met.

Miscellaneous Metal Parts: 

Prior to January 1, 2015, facilities that coat miscellaneous metal pasts, located in the 

original 13-county nonattainment area whose potential VOC emissions are greater than 

10 tons per year will be subject to the original requirements of Rule (ii). Facilities that 

are located in the seven additional nonattainment counties will be subject to the original 

requirements of Rule (ii) if their potential VOC emissions are greater than 100 tons per 

year. 

Georgia Rule (ii) [updated]

Beginning January 1, 2015, the rule revisions will apply to facilities that coat 

miscellaneous metal parts within the entire 20-county nonattainnlent area for those 

facilities with potential VOC emissions greater than 10 tons per year. The original 

requirements will continue to apply to counties outside of the nonattainment area for 

facilities with VOC emissions gseater than 100 tons per year. 

Miscellaneous Plastic Parts:

Because the metro Atlanta area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS without these rules 

in place, if the area is re-designated attainment before January 1,2015, and those counties 

continue to maintain the standard, the revisions will no longer apply. In the event that the 

1997 ozone standard is violated in the specified nonattainment counties, the revised 

requirements will only be reinstated if they are determined to be a necessary measure to 

meet the requirements of the maintenance contingency plan.

3.0 AUTOMOBILE AND LIGHT-DUTY TRUCK 

ASSEMBLY COATINGS 

3.1 Regulatory Background - Federal 

There have been four federal actions that affect automobile and light-duty truck assembly 

coating operations. In May 1977, EPA issued a CTG document (1977 CTG) for 

controlling VOC emissions from surface coating of automobiles and light-duty truc~ts.~ 

In December 1980, EPA promulgated an NSPS for automobile and light-duty truclc 

assembly coating operations (1980 NSPS)." In April 2004, EPA promulgated a NESHAP 

for Surface Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks (2004 NESHAP).' In 

September 2008, EPA promulgated an updated CTG document (2008 CTG) for this 

source category. 

The 2008 CTG provides control recommendations for reducing VOC emissions 

stemming from the use of coatings in automobile and light-duty truck9 assembly coating 

operations. The automobile and light-duty truck assembly coatings product category 

under Section 183(e) of the CAA includes the primary coatings10 that are applied to (1) 

new automobile or new light-duty truck bodies, or body pasts for new automobiles or 

new light-duty truck bodies, and (2) other pats that are coated along with these bodies or 

body parts. The category also includes additional coatings applied during the vehicle 

assembly process.11 Automobile and light-duty truck assembly coatings most commonly 

are applied at automobile or light-duty truclc assembly plants. However, this 183(e) 

category also includes coatings used in facilities that perform these operations on a 

contractual basis. 

In addition to the coating applications described above, automobile and light-duty truck 

assembly coating facilities may have separate coating lines on which coatings are applied 

to other parts intended for use in new automobiles or new light-duty trucks (e.g., 

application of spray primer, color and clear coat to fascia or bumpers) or to aftermarket 

repair or replacement parts for automobiles or light-duty huclcs. The separate coating of

part 60, subpart MM. 

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Surface Coating of Automobiles and LightDuty Tmcks. 40 CFRpart 63, subpart 1111. 

Automobile means a motor vehicle designed to carry up to eight passengers, excluding vans, sport utility 

vehicles, and motor vehicles designed primarily to transport light loads of property. Light-duty tn~ck 

means vans, sport utility vehicles, and motor vehicles designed primarily to transport light loads of property 

with gross vehicle weight sating of 8,500 lbs or less. 

lo The primary coatings are electrodeposition primer, primer-surfacer, topcoat, and final repair. 

l1 Coatings applied during the vehicle assembly process include glass bonding primer, adhesives, cavity 

wax, sealer, deadener, gasketlgasket sealing material, underbody coating, trunk interior coating, bedliner, 

weatherstrip adhesive, and lubricating waxes/compounds.

these other pasts and aftesmarket or replacenient parts is included in the Miscellaneous 

Metal Products and Plastic Parts Coatings categories under Section 183(e). States may 

determine whether it is appropriate to give these facilities the option of having their 

separate coating of other parts and aftermarket repair or replacement parts covered under 

the State miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coatings RACT rule or the State 

automobile and light-duty truck assembly coating RACT rule. 

3.2 Regulatory Background - State 

Georgia EPD implemented Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(t) "VOC Emissions hom 

Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Manufacturing" [a.k.a. Georgia Rule (t)] to fulfill the 

VOC RACT reqnirements for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. 

3.3 Does the Existing Georgia 1-hour Ozone RACT fulfill the 8-hour Ozone 

RACT for this Industiy Sector? 

Applicability: Table 3.3.1 specifies the existing VOC emission applicability thresholds 

for this industry category. 

Georgia EPD will retain the existing VOC emissions threshold for the 13-county Atlanta 

area of concern, but is lowering the existing VOC emissions threshold for the 7-county 

Atlanta area of concern from 100 tpy to 15 lbslday as specified in the 2008 CTG. 

Table 3.3.1 VOC Emission Applicability Thresholds 

Applicable Affected Units: The Atlanta metro area no longer includes automobile and 

light-duty truck assembly plants. General Motors operated an assembly plant in DeICalb 

County (AIRS #08900086) which permanently shutdown. The last day of production at 

this plant was September 26, 2008. General Motors also operated an assembly plant in 

Fulton County (AIRS #12100124) which permanently shutdown. The last day of 

production for this plant was August 6, 1990. Ford Motor Company operated an 

assembly plant in Fulton County (AIRS #12100364), and this plant closed October 27, 

2006. 

Atlanta Metro Area of 

Concern 

Emission Standards: Georgia EPD has updated the emission standards in Georgia Rule 

(t) to be as stringent as the 2008 federal CTG. Georgia EPD has not updated the emission 

standards in Georgia Rule (t) to account for the less stringent emissions standards noted 

in Table 3.3.2. A comparison of the 2008 federal CTG with existing emission standards 

in Georgia Rule (t) is illustrated in the following tables:

.O MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRTAL ADHESIVES 

4.1 Regulatory Background - Federal 

There are no previous federal actions that affect miscellaneous industrial adhesive 

application operations. This category includes adhesives (including adhesive primers 

used in conjunction with certain types of adhesives) used at industrial manufacturing and 

repair facilities for a wide variety of products and equipment that operate adhesive 

application processes. This category does not include adhesives that ase addressed by 

CTGs issued under Section 183(e) for aerospace coatings; metal furniture coatings; large 

appliance coatings; flat wood paneling coatings; paper, film, and foil coatings; offset 

lithographic printing and'letterpress printing; flexible packaging printing, coil coating, 

fabric coating, and rubber tire manufacturing. Motor vehicle adhesives, glass bonding 

primers, and weatherstrip adhesives that are used at a facility that is not an automobile or 

light-duty truck assembly coatings facility, are addressed in this Section 183(e) category. 

4.2 Regulatory Background - State 

Georgia EPD implemented Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(tt) "VOC Emissions from Major 

Sources" [a.lc.a. Georgia Rule (tt)] to fulfill the VOC RACT requirements for the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS. Georgia Rule (tt), a case-by-case RACT analysis, was implemented for 

industrial adhesive applications not covered by another Georgia Rule. Georgia EPD has 

developed a new state rule category for miscellaneous industrial adhesives and this new 

rule is Georgia Rule 391 -3- 1 -.02(2)(yyy) or Georgia Rule (yyy).

Conclusion: EPD has adopted the new Georgia Rule (yyy) for the 20-county Atlanta 

ozone nonattainment area on Janua~y 25,2012. 

Prior to January 1,2015, facilities that use miscellaneous industrial adhesives, located in 

the 20-county nonattainment area will continue to comply with the provisions of Georgia 

Rule (tt), if applicable. 

Beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the new rule will apply to facilities in the entire 

20-county nonattainment area with actual VOC emissions greater than 2.7 tons per year 

(15 pounds per day). 

Because the metro Atlanta area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS without these rules 

in place, if the area is re-designated attainment before January 1,2015, and those counties 

continue to maintain the standard, this rule will no longer apply. In the event that the 

1997 ozone standard is violated in the specified nonattainment counties, the requirements 

will only be reinstated if they are determined to be a necessary measure to meet the 

requirements of the maintenance contingency plan.

5.0 FIBERGLASS BOAT MANUFACTURING 

MATERIALS 

5.1 Regulatory Background - Federal 

The EPA has not published a previous CTG for fiberglass boat manufacturing materials. 

The EPA published an assessment of VOC emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing 

in 1990, and this assessment defined the nature and scope of VOC emissions from this 

industry. In 2001, EPA promulgated a NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing, 40 CFR Part 

63, Subpart VVV. EPA developed a CTG for this sector in 2008 after reviewing the 

1990 VOC assessment, the 2001 NESHAP, existing California district and other State 

VOC emission reduction approaches, and other information obtained since the issuance 

of the 2001 NESHAP. 

5.2 Regulatory Background - State 

Georgia EPD implemented case-by-case RACT analysis, under Georgia Rule 391-3-1- 

.02(2)(tt) "VOC Emissions from Major Sources" [aka. Georgia Rule (tt)] to fi~lfill the 

VOC RACT requirements for the I-hour ozone NAAQS for fiberglass boat 

manufacturing. Georgia EPD has developed a new state rule category for fiberglass 

boat manufacturing, and this new rule is Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(zzz) or Georgia 

Rule (zzz). 

5.3 Does the Existing Georgia 1-hour Ozone RACT fulfill the 8-hour Ozone 

RACT for this Industry Sector? 

Applicability: Tables 5.3.1 specifies the existing VOC emission applicability thresholds 

for industries covered under this CTG:

Emission Standards:- EPA has established VOC content limits for fiberglass boat 

manufacturing materials. Georgia did not have a rule in place specifically for fiberglass 

boat manufacturing materials, but instead relied on Georgia Rule (tt) to fulfill the VOC 

RACT require~nents. Georgia EPD's new Georgia Rule (zzz) incorporates the federal 

CTG VOC Content limits for this category.

Compliance Methods: The compliance method is equivalent to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart 

VVV, and Georgia EPD has adopted these compliance methods for the new Georgia Rule 

(zzz). 

Procedures for Testing and Monitorinp: Georgia EPD's PTM has been updated by 

adding new section 2.129 for this federal CTG. 

Conclusion: Georgia EPD has adopted the new Georgia Rule (zzz) for the 20-county 

Atlanta ozone nonattainment area on January 25,2012. 

Prior to January 1, 2015, facilities that use miscellaneous industrial adhesives and are 

located in the 20-county nonattainment area will continue to comply with the provisions 

of Georgia Rule (tt), if applicable. 

Beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the new rule will apply to facilities in the entire 

20-county nonattainment area with actual VOC emissions greater than 2.7 tons per year 

(15 pounds per day). 

Because the metro Atlanta area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS without these rules 

in place, if the area is re-designated attainment before January 1,2015, and those counties 

continue to maintain the standard, this rule will no longer apply. In the event that the 

1997 ozone standard is violated in the specified nonattainment counties, the requirements 

will only be reinstated if they are determined to be a necessary measure to meet the 

requirements of the maintenance contingency plan.
