(i) the application of low solvent coating technology where the 24-hour of all coatings 

on a single coating line or operation meets the limits stated in paraaragh 1 of this 

subsection : averaaing across l ines is not allowed: or 

(ii) control equipment, including but not limited to incineration carbon adsorption and 

condensation, with a capture system approved by the Director, provided that 90 percent

recovered or destroyed, and that overall VOC emissions do not exceed the limits stated in Paragraph 1 . of this subsection. 

(iii) control equipment demonstrated to have control efficiency equivalent to or greater or VOC emissions equal to or less than reauired in i) or (ii) of this paraaraph and approved by the Director. 

3. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions also apply: 

(i) "Class II hardboard paneling finish" means finishes which meet the specifications of Voluntary Product Standard PS-59-73 as approved by the American National Standards Institute. 

(ii) "Hardboard" is a panel manufactured primarily from interfelted lignocellulosic fibers which are consolidated under heat and pressure in a hot press. 

(iii) "Hardwood plywood" is plywood whose surface layer is a veneer of hardwood. 

(iv) "Natural finish hardwood plywood panels" means panels whose original grain pattern is enhanced by essentially transparent finishes frequently supplemented by fillers and toners . 

(v) "Thin particleboard" is a manufactured board 1/4 inch or less in thickness made of individual wood particles which have been coated with a binder and formed into flat sheets by pressure. 

(vi) "Printed interior panels" means panels whose grain or natural surface is obscured by fillers and basecoats upon which a simulated grain or decorative pattern is printed. 

(vii) "Tileboard" means paneling that has a colored waterproof surface coating. 

(viii) "Coating application system" means all operations and equipment which apply, 

convey, and dry a surface coating, including, but not limited to, spray booths, flow 

coaters, conveyers, flashoff areas, air dryers and ovens. 

[NOTE: The following rule change adopts an alternative compliance limit 

as suggested by EPA. It also revises the format of the Rule for clarity.]

(i) For packaaing rotogravure and flexographic printinq, the VOC content of any ink or 

coatina as applied is egual to or less than one of the followinq: 

(I) 25 percent by volume of the volatile content of the coatinq or ink; or 

(II) 40 percent by volume of the coating or ink, minus water; or 

(III) 0.5 pounds of VOC per pound of coating solids . 

(ii) For publication rotogravure printing, the VOC content of any ink or coating as applied 

is equal to or less than one of the followinq: 

(I) 25 percent by volume of the volatile content of the_coatina or ink; or 

(II) 40 percent by volume of the_coatinq or ink, minus water. 

2 . As an alternative to compliance with the limits in paragraph 1 . an owner or operator 

of a packaaing rotogravure, publication rotogravure or flexographic printing facility may

(i) Averaging on a 24-hour weighted basis the VOC content of all inks and coatings, as 

applied, on a single printing line, where the averaae does not exceed the limits in 

paragraph 1 . ; averaging across lines is not allowed; or 

ii {+++} Installsin and operatesing volatile organic compound 

emission reduction equipment having at least a 90.0
