Suchcoating units maybe subjectto 37.0 or47.0 ofthis regulation, whichever is applicable. 16.1.7 Transition period for existing permitted sources. Every owner or operator of any paper coating unit that is subject to a permit issued pursuant to 7 DE Admin Code 1102 or 1130 containing all applicable conditions of 16.0 of this regulation, as that regUlation existed on January 11, 1993, shall complywith those permitconditions for up to one year after the effective date ofthis revision of 16.0 of this regulation. On and after the date one year after the effective date of this revision of 16.0 of this regulation, every such owner or operator of any paper coating unit shall comply with the provisions of 16.0 of this regulation. 16.2 Definitions. As used in 16.0 of this regulation, all terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the November 15, 1990 Clean AirActAmendments (CAAA), or in 2.0 of this regulation. "Coating" means a material being applied, or an action of applying such a material, onto or impregnated into a substratefordecorative, protective, orfunctional purpose. "Paper, film, orfoil coating line" meansa series ofcoating applicators, flash-offareas, and any associated curing/drying equipment between one or more unwind/feed stations and one or more rewind/cutting stations to apply a coating onto a continuous strip ofsubstrate (a web). Printing presses are not considered coating lines. Products produced on a paper, film, orfoil coating line include, but are not limited to, adhesive tapes and labels, book covers, post cards, office copier paper, drafting paper, and pressure sensitive tapes and labels. Coating lines inclUde, but are not limited to, application by impregnation orsaturation or by the use of roll, knife, or rotogravure coating. A coating line may include morethan one coating unit 1

### "Paper. film, orfoil coating unit" means any coating unit applying a coating to paper, film, or foil substrates used in the manufacturing of several major product types for the following industry sectors: pressure sensitive tape and labels (including fabric coated for use in pressure sensitive tapes and labels); photographic film; industrial and decorative laminates; abrasive products (including fabric coated for use in abrasive products) and flexible packaging (including coating ofnon-woven polymer substrates for use in flexible packaging). Paper, film, or foil coating unit also includes a coating unit applying a coating during miscellaneous coating operations for several prodUcts including: corrugated and solid fiber boxes; die-cut paper paperboard, and cardboard; converted paper and paperboard not elsewhere classified; folding paperboard boxes, including sanitary boxes; manifold business forms and related products; plastic aseptic packaging; and carbon paperand inked ribbons. 16.3 Standards. No owner or operator of any paper, film, orfoil coating unit shall operate the coating unit unless the owner or operator meets the applicable requirements listed under 16.3.1, 16.3.2, 16.3.3, and 16.3.4 ofthis regulation. 16.3.1 Except as specified in 16.3.2 ofthis regulation, no application ofany coating on that unit with 

## vac content in excess of 0.40 kilogram 

## vac per kilogram of solid applied (kg/kg) (0.40 pound of

## vacperpound ofsolid [Ibllb]). 16.3.2 For pressure sensitive tape and label surface coating, no application of any coating on that unit with 

## vac content in excess of0.20 kilogram 

## vac per kilogram of solid applied (kg/kg) (0.20 pound of

## vacperpound ofsolid [Ib/lbn. 16.3.3 

### As an alternative to compliance with the emission limit in 16.3.1 or 16.3.2 of this regulation, an owner or operator of a paper, film, or foil coating unit may meet the requirementsof16.4 or 16.5ofthis regUlation. 16.3.4 When handling cleaning materials, an owneroroperatorofa paper, film, orfoil coating unit shall complywith 8.0 ofthis regulation. 16.4 Daily-weighted average limitation. No owner or operator of a paper, film, or foil coating unit subject to 16.0 of this regUlation shall apply, during any day, coatings on that unit whose dailyweighted average 

## vac content, calculated in accordance with the procedure specified in Appendix C of this regulation, exceeds the emission limit in 16.3.1 or 16.3.2 of this regulation, whichever isapplicable. 16.5 Control devices 16.5.1 An owner or operatorofa paper, film. or foil coating unit subject to 16.0 of this regulation maycomplywith 16.0 ofthis regUlation by: 16.5.1.1 Installing and operating a capture system on that unit. 16.5.1.2 Installing and operating a control device on that unit. 16.5.1.3 Determining for each day the overall emission reduction efficiency needed to demonstrate compliance. The overall emission reduction needed for a day is the lesserofthe value calculated according to the procedure in 3.0ofAppendix C of this regulation for that day or 95%. Ifthe calculated efficiency is less than 90%, use 90% as the needed efficiency.

216.5.1.4 Demonstrating each day thallhe overall emission reduction efficiency achieved for that day, as determined in 3.0 of Appendix D of this regulalion, is greater than or equal to the overall emission reduction efficiency needed for that day as determined in 16.5.1.3ofthis regulation. 16.5.2 An owneror operator ofa paper, film, orfoil coating unilsubjectto 16.0 ofthis regulation shall ensure that: 16.5.2.1 A capture system and control device are operated atall times the coating unit is in operation, and the owner or operator demonstrates compliance with 16.0 of this regulation through the applicable coaling analysis and capture system and control device efficiency test methods specified in Appendix B, Appendix D and Appendix E ofthis regulation and in accordance With the capture efficiency test methods in Appendix D ofthis regUlation. 16.5.2.2 The control device is equipped with the applicable monitoring eqUipment specified in 2.0 ofAppendix D ofthis regulation, and the monitoring eqUipment is installed, calibrated, operated, and maintained according to the vendor's specificationsatalltimes the control device is in use. 16.6 Test methods. The test methods found in AppendiX A through Appendix D of this regulation shall be used todetermine compliance with 16.0ofthis regulation. 16.7 Recordkeeping and reporting 16.7.1 An owneroroperator ofa paper, film, orfoil coating unitthat is exempt from the emission limitations in 16.3 ofthis regulation shall comply with the certification requirements in 4.2 ofthis regulation within six months after March 11, 2011, and with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 4.2 ofthis regulation on and after March 11, 2011. 16.7.2 An owneror operatorofa paper, film, or foil coating unit subject to 16.0 ofthis regulation and complying with 16.3 ofthis regulation by the use of complying coatings shall comply with the certification requirements in 4.3 ofthis regUlation within six months after March 11, 2011, and with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 4.3 ofthis regulation on and after March 11,2011. 16.7.3 An owner or operator ofa paper, film, orfoil coating unit SUbject to 16.0 ofthis regulation and complying with 16.4 ofthis regUlation by daily-weighted averaging shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in 4.4 ofthis regUlation. 16.7.4 An owner or operator ofa paper, film, orfoil coating unit SUbject to 16.0 ofthis regulation and complying with 16.5 ofthis regUlation by the use ofcontrol devices shall complywith the testing requirements in 4.5 ofthis regUlation within six months after March 11, 2011, and with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in 4.5 of this regulation on and after March 11, 2011.
