RULE 410 Organic Solvents - Adopted 4/18/72, Amended 12/17/74, 11/27/79 I. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere more than 15 pounds or or

ganic materials inany1 day from any ar

ticle, machine, e

quipment, or other

contrivance in

which any organic solventor any

material contain

ing organic solven

t comes into contac

t with flame or is baked, heat-cured, or heat-polymerized in the presence of oxygen, unless said discharge has been reduced by a least 85 percent. These portions of any series of articles, mac

hines, equipment, or other contrivance s desi gned for proces sing continuous web , strip, or wire tha t emit organic materials i n the course of us ing operations des

cribed in this Sect

ion shall be collec

tively subject to compliance with this Section. II. A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere more than 40 pounds of organic materials inany 1 day from any article, machine, equipment or other contrivance used under conditions other than those described in Paragrap h I. of this Section for employing or applying any photochemically reactive solvent, as defined in Paragraph X. of this Section, or material containing such photochemically reactive solvent, unless said discharge has been reduced by at least 85 percent. Emissions of organic materials into theatmosphere resulting fromair or heated-d

rying of products f

or the first 12 hour

s after their

remov al from any article, machine, or other contrivance de

scribed in this Sec

tion shall be includ

ed in determining compliance with this paragraph. Emissions resulting from baking, heat-curing, or heat-polymerizing as described in Paragraph I. of thi s Section sh all be excluded from determination

of compliance wi th this Section. Those portions of any ser

ies of articles, machines, equipment, or other contrivances designed for processing a continuous web, strip, or wire that emit orga

nic materials in

the course of using operations described in this Section shall be collectively subject to compliance with this Section. III. A pe rson shall no t, after August 31, 1986, discharge into the atmosphere more than 3,000 pounds of org ani c materials in any 1 day from any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance in which any non-photochemica lly reactive organic solvent or any material containing such a solvent is employed or applied, unless said discharge has been reduced by at least 85 percent. Emissions or organic materials into the atmosphere resulting from air or heated-drying of products for the first 12 hours after their removal from any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance described in this Section shall be included in determining compliance with this Section. Emiss ions resulting from baking, heat-cu

ring, or heatpolymerizing as d escribed in Paragraph I. of this Section shall be excluded from det erm ination of compliance wit h this Section. Those

portions of any ser

ies of articles, machines, equipment, or other contrivances designed for processing a continuous web, strip, or wire that emit organic materials in the course of using operations described in this Section shall be collectively subject to compliance with this Section. IV. Emissions of organic mater ials t o the atmosphere f

rom the cleanup w

ith photochemical

ly reactive solvent, as defined in Section X., of any article, machine, equipment or other410-2

contrivance described in Sections I., II., or III., shall be included with the other emissions of o rganic materials from that article, machine, equipment or other contrivance for determining compliance with this Rule. V. Emissions of

organic materials into the atmosphere required to be controlled by Sections I., II., or III., shall be reduced by: A. Incineration, provided that 90 pe rcent or mo

re of the carbon in the organic material being incinerated is oxidized to carbon dioxide, or B. Absorption, or C. Processing in a manner determined by the Air Pollution Control Officer to be not less effective than A. or B. above VI. A person incinerating, absorbing, or otherwise proce

ssing organic mate

rials pursuant to th

is Rule shall provide,

properly install

and maintain in ca

libration, in

good working order and inoperation, devices as specified in the Authority to Construct or the Permit to Operate, or as specified by the A ir Pollution Control Officer, for indicating temperatures, pressures, rates of flow or other operating conditions necessary to determine the degree and effectiveness of air pollution contr

ol. VII. Any person using orga nic solvents

or any materials containing organic solvents s hall supply the Air Polluti on Control Officer, upon request and in the manner and form prescribed by him, wr i tten evidence of the chemical composition, physical properties and amount consumed for each organic solvent used. VIII. The provisions of this Rule shall not apply to: A. The manufacture of organic solvents, or the transport or storage of organic solvents or materials contai

ning organic solve

nts. B. The use of equipment for which other

requirements are specified by Rules 411, 412, 413, and 414, or which a re exempt from a

ir pollution control

requirements by s

aid Rules. C. The spraying or ot

her employment of

insecticides, pe

sticides or herbic

ides. D. The employment, application, evaporation or drying of s aturated halogenated hydrocarbons or perchloroethylene. E. The use of any m aterial, in any article, machine, equipment or other contrivance described in Sections I., II., III., or IV., if:410-3 1. the volatile content of the material consists only of water and organ

ic solvents, and 2. the organic solvents content comprises not more than 20% by volume of the total volatile content, and 3. the volatile content is not photochemically reactive, and 4. the organic solvent does not come into contact with flame. F. The us e of any material in any article, machine, equipment or other contrivance described in Sections I., II., III., or IV. if: 1. until January 1, 1977, the organic solvent content of a material does not exceed 30% by volume of said material after January 1, 1977, the organic solvent content of such material shall not exceed 20% by volume, and 2. the volatile content is not photochemically reactive, and 3. the organic solvent content does not come into contact with flame. G. The use of equipment or surface coatin

g material for wh

ich other requir

eme nt s are specified by thes

e Rules and Regula

tions. IX. For

the purpose of this Rule, organic solvents include diluents and thinners and are defined as organic materials which are liquids at standard conditions and which are used as dissolvers,viscosity reducers or cleaning agents, exce pt that such materials exhibiting a boiling point higher than 220 F at 0.5 millimeter me rcury absolu

te pressure or having an equivalent

vapor pressure shall not be considere d t o be solvents unless exposed to temperatures exceeding 220 F. X. For

the purposes of this Rule, a photochemically reactive solvent is any sol vent wit h an aggr egate of more than 20 percent of its total volume composed of chemical compounds classified below or which exceeds any of the following individual percentage composition limitations, refer

red to the total volu

me of solvent: A. A combination of hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ethers or ketones having an olefinic or cy

cloolefinic type

of unsaturation: 5

percent; B. A combination of ar omatic comp ounds with eight or more carbon atoms to the molecule except

ethylbenzene: 8

percent; C. A combination of ethylbenzene, ketones hav ing branched hydr ocarbon structur

es, trichloroethylen

e or toluene: 20 pe

rcent.410-4 Whenever

any organi c solvent or any constituent of an organic solvent may be classified from its chemical structure into more than one of the above groups of organic compounds, it shall be considered as a member of the

most reactive chemical group; that is, that group having the least a llowable perce

ntage of the total

volume of solvents. XI. For

the purpose of this Rule, organic materials are defined as chemical compounds of carbon excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, c

arbonic acid, me

tallic carbides,

meta l lic carbonates and ammonium carbonate.
