Re: State Implementation Plan Submittal for Indiana 

Regarding 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 and 326 lAC 8-3 (LSA 

#07-352), Solvent Degreasing 

Pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act and Title 13 of the Indiana Code, the Indiana 

Depmiment of Environmental Management (IDEM) submits an amendment to the Indiana state 

implementation plan. This amendment consists of revisions to 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 and 326 lAC 8-3 

accomplished through one rulemaking. IDEM requests that the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) approve 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 and 326 lAC 8-3. 

This rulemaking amends 326 lAC 8-3 to extend the solvent low vapor pressure 

requirement for cold cleaner degreasers to the entire state and amends 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 to revise 

the definition for "cold cleaner degreaser." Sections 326 lAC 8-3-5, 326 lAC 8-3-6, and 326 lAC 

8-3-7 are repealed and consolidated into sections 326 lAC 8-3-2, 326 lAC 8-3-3, and 326 lAC 8-

3-4 to streamline the structure of the rule. 

This submittal consists of one (1) hard copy of the required documentation. An electronic 

version of the submittal in PDF format that is identical to the hard copy has been sent to Chris 

Panos at the U.S. EPA Region V office. In order to assist with your review ofthis state 

implementation plan submission, a list of suppmiing documents is attached. 

Throughout the development of these amendments to existing rules concerning solvent 

degreasing operations, staffworked closely with your staff to ensure that any potential problems 

that might exist with this requested state implementation plan revision would be resolved. I 

request that U.S. EPA approve these modifications oflndiana's state implementation plan. If you 

have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mike Dalton, Rule Suppmi Section 

Chief, Office ofLegal Counsel at (317) 232-8884.

TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

CONTINUATION OF SECOND NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD 

LSA Document #07-352 

DEVELOPMENT OF AMENDMENTS TO RULES CONCERNING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN 

ORGANIC SOLVENT DEGREASERS 

PURPOSE OF NOTICE 

A Second Notice of Comment Period for this rulemaking was published on January 13, 2010, in the Indiana 

Register (DIN: 20100113-IR-326070352SNA). The draft rule amends 326 lAC 8-3 concerning organic solvent 

degreasing operations in Indiana. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has made 

revisions to the draft language published in the Second Notice of Comment Period to provide clarity and address 

comments. Therefore, IDEM is publishing this Continuation of Second Notice of Comment Period and is soliciting 

public comments on the revised language. IDEM seeks public comment on the draft rule, including suggestions 

for specific language to be included in the rule, the fiscal impact of the rule, and the affected citations listed or any 

other provisions of Title 326 that may be affected by this rulemaking. 

HISTORY 

First Notice of Comment Period: June 27, 2007, Indiana Register (DIN: 20070627-IR-326070352FNA). 

Continuation of First Notice of Comment Period: April 2, 2008, Indiana Register (DIN: 

20080402-IR-326070352FCA). 

Second Notice of Comment Period: January 13, 2010, Indiana Register (DIN: 201 00113-IR-326070352SNA). 

CITATIONS AFFECTED: 3261AC 8-3. 

AUTHORITY: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4; IC 13-17-3-11; IC 13-17-3-12. 

SUBJECT MATTER AND BASIC PURPOSE OF RULEMAKING 

Basic Purpose and Background 

In the March 27, 2008, Federal Register (73 FR 16436), the United States Environmental Protection Agency 

(U.S. EPA) revised the primary and secondary 8-hour ozone standards to 0.075 parts per million (ppm). While the 

majority of Indiana meets the new standards, there are two areas that U.S. EPA proposes to designate as 

nonattainment, the northwest Indiana counties of Jasper, Lake, and Porter, and Lawrenceburg Township in 

Dearborn County. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) believes these areas should be 

designated attainmentlunclassifiable because there are no monitored violations in those areas. IDEM is 

responding to U.S. EPA's proposed designations with comment and data to support this conclusion. However, 

IDEM believes it is still prudent for Indiana to consider implementing additional cost-effective measures to reduce 

emissions that contribute to the formation of ozone. The reasons for considering additional reduction measures 

include: the likelihood that Jasper, Lake, and Porter counties and Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County 

will be designated nonattainment, the narrow margin between Indiana's current air quality in the rest of the state 

and the new lower 8-hour ozone standard of 0.075 ppm, the possibility that the new ozone standard may be 

lowered even further in the future, and the concerns expressed by other states that emissions from Indiana are 

contributing to their inability to attain the standard (the Clean Air Act provides a legal mechanism for those states 

to require Indiana to reduce Indiana's potential contribution to nonattainment in other states). 

A Second Notice of Comment Period was published in the Indiana Register on January 13, 2010 (DIN: 

201 00113-IR-326070352SNA). In that notice, IDEM proposed to do the following: 

(1) Extend the material requirements for cold cleaner degreasers at 326 lAC 8-3-8 to all cold cleaner 

degreasers located in any county in the state. 

(2) Eliminate grandfathering of organic solvent degreasing operations in Indiana at 326 lAC 8-3-1. 

(3) Amend the applicability of the rule at 326 lAC 8-3-1, repeal sections 326 lAC 8-3-2, 326 lAC 8-3-3, and 

326 lAC 8-3-4 to consolidate rule requirements into sections 326 lAC 8-3-5, 326 lAC 8-3-6, and 326 lAC 8-3-

Z in order to streamline the structure of this rule, eliminate duplicative language and clarify the rule. These 

amendments do not broaden the scope of the existing rule language. 

(4) Exempt organic solvent degreasing operations that are not located in Clark, Floyd, Lake, or Porter County 

from the following: 

(A) The operation and control requirements of 326 lAC 8-3-5, 326 lAC 8-3-6, and 326 lAC 8-3-7 if the 

degreaser: 

(i) is subject to 326 lAC 20-6-1 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

from halogenated solvent cleaning); or 

(ii) uses only organic solvents that contain less than one percent (1%) VOCs by weight. 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:40:20PM EST DIN: 20120314-IR-326070352SCA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

(B) The material requirements at 326 lAC 8-3-8 if the cold cleaner degreaser: 

(i) is subject to 326 lAC 20-15-1 (NESHAP from aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities); or 

(ii) uses aqueous cleaning solvents as defined in the draft rule language (326 lAC 8-3-0.5). 

After consideration of comments received and internal discussion about the draft rule, IDEM has revised the draft 

rule. Most significantly, IDEM does not now propose to eliminate the grandfathering provisions in the applicability 

section at 326 lAC 8-3-1. 

Because volatile organic compounds {VOCs) contribute to the formation of ozone, it is important to control 

VOCs in order to comply with the 8-hour ozone standard. In an effort to assist neighboring states in the 

development of state implementation plans (SIPs) to comply with the federal requirements, the Lake Michigan Air 

Directors Consortium (LADCO) has been working with its member states to identify and recommend regional 

controls that would help states bring areas back into attainment for the new 8-hour ozone standard. The LADCO 

states include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The LADCO states have discussed applying 

certain VOC control measures currently applicable in a limited number of counties to all counties in the region in 

order to provide a general benefit to all ozone nonattainment areas. LADCO has evaluated potential reductions 

from various regulatory options that could be adopted on a multistate basis in the region. Based on discussions 

with other LADCO states and information provided by LADCO, IDEM continues to propose amendment of 326 

lAC 8-3 (Organic Solvent Degreasing Operations) by extending the material requirements in 326 lAC 8-3-8 to all 

counties in the state. 

In combination with other efforts to reduce VOCs in Indiana and other states, the revisions to the organic 

solvent degreasers rule under consideration in Indiana will contribute to a regional control of VOCs that will assist 

many counties in reaching and maintaining attainment for the new 8-hour ozone standard while balancing the 

regulatory requirements across the state. Additionally, the proposed amendments to the material requirements for 

cold cleaner degreasers would update the rule to reflect that solvents meeting the proposed material 

requirements are already in extensive use throughout the state. Upon completion of the rulemaking, this rule will 

be submitted to the U.S. EPA for approval as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP). 

IC 13-14-9-41dentification of Restrictions and Requirements Not Imposed under Federal Law 

The following element of the draft rule imposes either a restriction or a requirement on persons to whom the 

draft rule applies that is "not imposed under federal law" (NIFL element). 

The following information is provided with each NIFL element: 

(1) The environmental circumstance or hazard dictating the imposition of the NIFL element in order to protect 

human health and the environment in Indiana and examples in which federal law is inadequate to provide this 

protection for Indiana. 

(2) The estimated fiscal impact and expected benefits of the NIFL element, based on the extent to which the 

NIFL element exceeds the requirements of federal law. 

(3) The availability for public inspection of all materials relied on by IDEM in the development of the NIFL 

element including, if applicable: health criteria, analytical methods, treatment technology, economic impact 

data, environmental assessment data, analyses of methods to effectively implement the proposed rule, and 

other background data. 

NIFL Element A: Statewide application of material requirements for cold cleaner degreasers. The applicability 

provisions in 326 lAC 8-3-1 will require any person, unless exempted, who sells, offers for sale, uses or 

manufactures solvents for use in cold cleaner degreasers in Indiana to meet the material requirements of 326 lAC 

8-3-8. Federal law does not impose degreaser requirements, but does impose economic consequences for 

nonattainment of the ozone standard. 

(1) The application of certain VOC control measures to all counties in Indiana will provide a general benefit to 

ozone nonattainment and maintenance areas. This rule is part of a larger group of VOC control rules that 

address regional ozone and particulate matter nonattainment. 

(2) The fiscal impact of compliance statewide for the material requirements is not easily quantified due to the 

large number of degreasing operations across the state. LAD CO estimated a cost of $1 ,400 per ton of VOC 

reduced based on the South Coast Air Quality Management District's cost analysis for their solvent cleaning 

rule (Rule 1122). However, that estimate assumed that compliant solvents were not readily available to 

regulated sources. The major solvent suppliers in Indiana already distribute solvents state-wide that meet the 

material requirements proposed in this rulemaking. Additionally, material substitution will generally result in 

lower compliance costs for individual sources than would be anticipated with the use of emission control 

devices. As discussed in this notice, Indiana will benefit from the reduction of VOC emissions. 

(3) LADCO evaluated potential reductions from various regulatory options that could be adopted on a 

multi-state basis in the region. The information used for the evaluation is presented in a white paper on 

degreasing at: 

http://www.ladco.org/Regionai_Air_Quality.html 

Potential Fiscal Impact 

This rulemaking proposes to extend the applicability of the material requirements for cold cleaner degreasers 

at 326 lAC 8-3-8 to all counties in the state. A previous state rulemaking in 1998 that added the material 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:40:20PM EST DIN: 20120314-IR-326070352SCA Page 2 
Indiana Register 

requirements for cold cleaner degreasers at 326 lAC 8-3-8 for four counties estimated a low fiscal impact. That 

rulemaking action would have been more costly to suppliers because the required solvents were not readily 

available in this state. However, since the 1998 rulemaking, compliant solvents for cold cleaner degreasers are 

currently being supplied statewide. IDEM surveyed the two largest solvent suppliers in Indiana and both already 

distribute compliant solvents to their customers statewide. No additional capital costs for equipment are 

anticipated. 

Public Participation and Workgroup Information 

No workgroup is planned for the rulemaking. If you feel that a workgroup or other informal discussion on the 

rule is appropriate, please contact Christine Pedersen, Rule and State Implementation Plan Development 

Section, Office of Air Quality at (317) 233-5684 or (800) 451-6021 (in Indiana). 

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD 

IDEM requested public comment from January 13, 2010, through February 12,2010, on alternative ways to 

achieve the purpose of the rule and suggestions for the development of draft rule language. IDEM received 

comments from the following party by the comment period deadline: 

Alcoa, Inc. Lafayette Operations (ALO) 

SABIC Innovative Plastics (SABIC) 

Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comment: Commenter supports the formation of a work group of interested parties and stakeholders to 

assist in development of an appropriate rule for organic solvent degreasers. (ALO) 

Response: IDEM has revised the draft language to provide clarity and address comments that may 

significantly change the impact the draft rule language would have on a source. If there is significant interest in 

the formation of a work group based on this revised language, IDEM will consider forming a work group. 

Comment: IDEM stated in the Second Notice of rulemaking that no additional capital cost for equipment are 

anticipated. This is inaccurate. Alcoa Lafayette Operations believes that the costs of complying with this rule on a 

statewide basis will exceed $500,000 and requests that IDEM conduct a thorough fiscal impact analysis prior to 

implementation of the rule. (ALO) 

Response: IDEM has revised the draft language to provide clarity and address comments that may 

significantly change the impact the draft rule language would have on a source. IDEM requests that sources 

evaluate potential fiscal impacts and provide comments to assist IDEM in determining the likely costs associated 

with the revised draft rule. 

Comment: The existing 8-hour standard for ozone is currently 0.85 ppm. Currently, all counties in Indiana are 

achieving this standard. U.S. EPA is currently reconsidering lowering the standard to 0.75 ppm. It is inappropriate 

to arbitrarily impose restrictive regulations in anticipation of future regulations without first conducting a scientific 

analysis of the anticipated benefits and costs of regulatory implementation. IDEM has not sufficiently 

demonstrated that requiring the existing solvent degreasers in existence prior to January 1, 1980 will significantly 

improve air quality. (ALO) 

Response: Since these comments were originally submitted, U.S. EPA has lowered the ozone standard to 

0.75 ppm. Though designations are not finalized yet, it is possible that Indiana will have one or more areas 

designated nonattainment for the new standard. Because ozone is a regional pollutant and can impact counties 

beyond the area in which it forms, it is reasonable to address it on a regional basis. For this reason, IDEM is 

proposing to expand the cold cleaner degreasing requirements statewide. 

Comment: In numerous places in the rule, a numeric regulatory value is set forth in both metric and English 

units. The format used is one set of units is set forth, with the other set appearing in parentheses immediately 

following. For example, in proposed 326 lAC 8-3-0.5, a flash point temperature is described as " ... greater than 

ninety-three (93) degrees Celsius (two hundred (200) degrees Fahrenheit) .... " In all cases in the rule except one, 

however, the two values provided are not equivalent. One is left wondering which value is to be used in 

determining compliance, or whether either may be used. This obviously creates an ambiguity. To correct this 

issue, SABIC-IP has proposed to insert the word "approximately" immediately before the value set forth inside the 

parentheses. This way, the first-named value becomes the sole regulatory value, and the value in parentheses 

becomes an unenforceable approximation. (SABIC) 

Comment: The proposed rule uses pairs of values, one in metric units and the other in English units. Even 

making the second values approximately equal to the first rather than hold them out as being equivalent, four of 

the "second" values in seven locations in the proposed rule are incorrect: 

(a) In 326 lAC 8-3-0.5, 93 C equals 199.4 F, which rounds to 199 F. 

(b) In 326 lAC 8-3-1 (a)(3)(C) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(a)(2), 2 square meters equals approximately 21.53 square 

feet, which rounds to 21.5 square feet, not 21.6. 

(c) In 326 lAC 8-3-6(a)(3)(B)(iv) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(a)(2)(E)(ii), 15 cubic meters per minute per square meter 

equals approximately 49.2 cubic feet per minute per square foot, which rounds to 49 cubic feet per minute 

per square foot, not 50. 

(d) In 326 lAC 8-3-6(b)(11 )(B) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(b)(6)(A), 20 cubic meters per minute per square meter 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:40:20PM EST DIN: 20120314-IR-326070352SCA Page 3 
Indiana Register 

equals approximately 65.6 cubic feet per minute per square foot, which rounds to 66 cubic feet per minute 

per square foot, not 65. 

(SABIC) 

Response: The difference in the values between the metric and English units noted by SABIC is a result of 

rounding. Specifically, it appears that SABIC used the most precise conversion factors possible. However, the 

English units in the rule language represent the metric values adjusted for the appropriate amount of significant 

figures. When approximate numbers are multiplied or divided, the result is expressed as a number having the 

same number of significant digits as the expression in the problem having the least number of significant digits. In 

other words, multiplying a number having four significant digits by a number having two significant digits, the 

correct answer will be expressed to two significant digits. 

SABIC observes that in the proposed 326 lAC 8-3-0.5, a temperature is described as " ... greater than 

ninety-three (93) degrees Celsius (two hundred (200) degrees Fahrenheit) ... " However, 93°C equals 199.4°F, 

which rounds to 199°F, not 200. SABIC's conversion would appear to be correct. However, using accepted 

scientific convention and significant figures, the conversion is completed as follows: T F = (1.8 x T c)+ 32. In this 

example, (1.8 x 93) + 32=199.4°F. The answer 199.4 °F contains 4 significant figures, but the least number of 

significant figures in this problem is two (2). Therefore, the correct answer must contain only 2 significant figures. 

The conversion (199.4) must be rounded to two (2) significant digits. To maintain two (2) significant digits, the 

digits '4' in the tenths place and the digit '9' in the ones place must be dropped. Dropping the '9' requires 

increasing the value by one (1 ). This results in the Fahrenheit value becoming 200 which is the value that is 

correctly stated in the rule language. 

IDEM declines to place the word "approximately" immediately before the value in the parentheses. The 

English values provided in the parentheses throughout the rule are the values that will be used for compliance 

determinations, based on IDEM's conversions using the appropriate number of significant figures. IDEM has 

checked and confirmed that all the conversions stated in the rule represent appropriate values. IDEM presents 

both numbers to avoid possible confusion or errors resulting from incorrect conversions. Additionally, these 

methods are consistent throughout IDEM's rules. Regulated sources have the option of using either the metric or 

English units when complying with the rule. 

Comment: The proposed rule is inconsistent in how it refers to a cold cleaner degreaser. In some locations, 

the phrase is used. In other locations, the phrase cold "cleaning" degreaser is used. The regulatory term is "cold 

cleaner degreaser" (see 326 lAC 1-2-18.5). That term should be used throughout the proposed rule. (SABIC) 

Response: IDEM concurs "cleaning" should be "cleaner" in reference to "cold cleaner degreasers" and has 

made the changes in the draft rule. 

Comment: The proposed record keeping requirement in 326 lAC 8-3-8(d)(1) mandates that the records "be 

retained on-site" for a required period. However, given the prevalence of electronic record keeping and storage of 

such data on remote servers, SABIC suggests that this provision be revised to read as follows:" ... shall be (1) 

retained on-site or accessible electronically from the site for the most recent...." (SABIC) 

Response: IDEM concurs that the addition of this language will provide clarity to sources and has made the 

suggested change. 

Comment: Several grammatical changes should be made: 

(a) In 3261AC 8-3-1(a)(2), 326 lAC 8-3-1(a)(4), 326 lAC 8-3-1(a)(5) and 326 lAC 8-3-1(b)(2), the word "state" 

should be changed to "State". 

(b) In 326 lAC 8-3-1 (a)(3)(B) and 326 lAC 8-3-1 (a)(3)(C), 326 lAC 8-3-6(a)(3), 326 lAC 8-3-6(b)(11 ), 326 lAC 

8-3-7(a)(2) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(b)(6), "air to solvent" should be changed to "air-to-solvent". 

(c) In 326 lAC 8-3-8(d)(1 ), "three (3) year" should be changed to "three (3)-year". 

(d) In 326 lAC 8-3-8(d)(2), "two (2) year" should be changed to "two (2)-year". 

(SABIC) 

Response: The format of the word "state" and the phrases "three (3) year" and "two (2) year" are specified by 

the Legislative Services Agency for use in regulatory language and cannot be changed. When drafting rule 

language, IDEM must comply with the requirements for administrative rules set forth in the Administrative Rules 

Drafting Manual, prepared by the Legislative Services Agency. These suggested changes do not meet LSA 

standards for rule language. For review of administrative rule standards please refer to the manual available on 

the website of the Indiana General Assembly at: http://www.in.gov/legislative/pdf/IACDrftMan.PDF 

IDEM concurs that "air to solvent" should be changed to "air-to-solvent", and has made the suggested change. 

REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS 

This notice requests the submission of comments on the draft rule language, including suggestions for

Air Curtain Destructors (LSA#ll-317). The purpose of this hearing is to receive public 

comment on amendments to 326 lAC 1-2-2.5 and 326 lAC 4-1 concerning air curtain destructors 

that are proposed for final adoption by the board. The proposed rule would allow the use of 

portable, self-contained air curtain destructors without being limited by the specific requirements 

that apply to pit type units.

Sewage Sludge Incineration (LSA#ll-586). The purpose of this hearing is to receive public 

comment on amendments to 326 lAC 11-10 concerning sewage sludge incinerators located at 

wastewater treatment plants designed to treat domestic sewage sludge that are proposed for final 

adoption by the board. The proposed rule incorporates federal air emission requirements that 

establish emission guidelines for existing sources. This rule will provide the legal mechanism to 

implement the revisions to the federal requirements and will be part of the state plan that IDEM 

will submit to U.S. EPA for approval, as required by Sections 111 (d) and 129 of the Clean Air 

Act. 

For additional information concerning this rule contact Susan Bern at the Indiana

326 lAC 20-13, and a new rule at 326 lAC 20-13.1 reflecting updates to the federal national 

emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The draft rule addresses the 

attainment status of counties for the new lead standard, provides expedited compliance to address 

the Munice area nonattainment area, and incorporates the federal secondary lead smelter 

NESHAP. 

For additional information concerning this rule contact Ryan Knapick at the Indiana 

Department ofEnvironmental Management, Office of Air Quality, Room 1003, Indiana

MR. QUYLE: Aye. 

MR. STALEY: Aye. 

CHAIRMAN MINER: 

Opposed? 

Aye. 

(No response.) 

CHAIRMAN MINER: The amended rules 

and the repeals have been preliminarily adopted. 

35 

The next item on our agenda is a public 

hearing before the Air Pollution Control Board of 

the State of Indiana regarding preliminary 

adoption of amendments 326 IAC 8-3 concerning 

Solvent Degreasing Operations. 

We will now introduce Exhibit No. 5 

thank you, Ms. Pederson -- the draft rule, into 

the record of the hearing. 

Susan Bem? 

MS. BEM: This rulemaking amends 

326 IAC 8-3 to extend the solvent requirements 

for cold cleaner degreasers to the entire state, 

provide certain exemptions for solvent degreasing 

operations, and streamline the structure of the 

rule by removing repetitive language. 

The amendments to Indiana's solvent 
1 degreasing rule are one of a number of measures 

2 suggested by the Lake Michigan Air Directors 

36 

3 Consortium, or LADCO, to reduce VOC emissions and 

4 ozone formation in the upper midwest and the 

5 eastern U.S. VOC's contribute to the formation 

6 of ozone, and reducing VOC emissions help areas 

7 meet the eight-hour ozone standard. 

8 On March 12th, 2008, EPA revised the 

9 eight-hour ozone NAAQS, and while the majority of 

10 Indiana meets the new standard, there are two 

11 areas that EPA has designated as nonattainment: 

12 Northwest Indiana and Lawrenceburg Township in 

13 Dearborn County. 

14 In an effort to assist neighboring states 

15 to comply with the federal requirements, LADCO 

16 has been working with its member states to 

17 identify and recommend regional controls that 

18 would help states achieve attainment for the 

19 eight-hour ozone NAAQS. This rulemaking 

20 regarding regulation of VOC's from solvent 

21 degreasing operations is one of those recommended 

22 measures. 

23 Emissions of VOC's occur as a result of

evaporation from the storage and handling of 

fresh and spent solvents. Solvent that is not 

recycled or sent to waste disposal is eventually 

emitted into the atmosphere. 

37 

This rulemaking extends the requirement in 

Section 8 to use a low vapor pressure solvent of 

less than one millimeter mercury for cold cleaner 

degreasers, extending it from a few counties to a 

statewide requirement. The compliance date for 

the new solvent requirements is January 1st, 

2015. 

The rule language is also amended by 

repealing Sections 5, 6 and 7 to consolidate the 

requirements in Section 2 for cold cleaners, in 

Section 3 for open top vapor degreasers, and 

Section 4 for conveyorized degreasers in order to 

streamline the structure of this rule and 

eliminate repetitive language. 

The rulemaking also proposes to add an 

exemption for solvent degreasing operations from 

the operation and control requirements in 

Sections 2 through 4 if the degreaser is subject 

to the NESHAP for halogenated solvent cleaning or 
1 uses only solvents that contain less than one 

2 percent VOC by weight. 

3 The new one millimeter vapor pressure 

4 solvent requirements for cold cleaners in 

5 Section 8 located in counties not already 

38 

6 included in the rule will not apply to operations 

7 subject to the NESHAP for aerospace manufacturing 

8 or solvents that contain less than one percent 

9 VOC's by weight. 

10 The Department requests that the Board 

11 preliminarily adopt the rule as presented.

PUBLIC COMMENTS UNDER IC 13-14-9-4.5 

IC 13-14-9-4.5 states that a board may not adopt a rule under IC 13-14-9 that is substantively different from 

the draft rule published under IC 13-14-9-4 until the board has conducted a third comment period that is at least 

21 days long. Because this proposed rule is not substantively different from the draft rule published on March 14, 

2012, at DIN: 20120314-IR-326070352SCA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is not 

requesting additional comment on this proposed rule. 

SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD 

IDEM requested public comment from January 13, 2010, through February 12, 2010, and March 14, 2012, 

through April13, 2012, on IDEM's draft rule language. IDEM received comments from the following parties: 

Bingham Greenebaum Doll on behalf of the CASE Coalition (BGD) 

Printpack Inc. (Printpack) 

Eli Lilly and Co. (Lilly) 

Alcoa, Inc. Lafayette Operations (ALO)* 

SABIC Innovative Plastics (SABIC)* 

*Comments received during January 13, 2010 through February 12, 2010 comment period 

Following is a summary of the comments received March 14, 2012, through April 13, 2012, and IDEM's 

responses thereto: 

Comment: Amend 326 lAC 8-3-1 (d)(2)(C) to include the phrase "organic solvent" instead of "cleaning 

solvent" to be consistent with the other two subsections of 326 lAC 8-3-1 (d)(2). (BGD) 

Response: IDEM agrees that the use of the word "cleaning" in 326 lAC 8-3-1 (d)(2)(C) is not appropriate and 

has deleted the word. IDEM is not proposing to add "organic" because in another comment received on this 

rulemaking it was suggested that IDEM use "solvent" instead of "organic solvent" throughout the rule. The 

definition of "solvent" already limits materials to organic solvents. 

Comment: Amend 326 lAC 8-3-1 to include a new subsection (e) to read as follows: "When a limit is 

expressed in metric units and the English units are provided, the regulated source has the option of using either 

metric or English units to demonstrate compliance with the rule." (BGD) 

Response: IDEM agrees and will add the suggested new subsection. IDEM will consider in a future 

rulemaking adding this provision to the general provision section for Article 8 so that this would be clear for all 

VOC rules. 

Comment: Clarify 326 lAC 8-3-1 so that solvent cleaning activities related to flexographic and rotogravure 

printing activities throughout the state are not subject to requirements of 326 lAC 8-3-1, but rather at a minimum 

enjoy the equivalent yet more flexible compliance options allowed for flexographic and rotogravure printing 

activities located in Lake and Porter County pursuant to 326 lAC 8-17. (Printpack) 

Response: The cold cleaning degreasing regulations at 326 lAC 8-3 are not limited to any specific industry 

type. Currently, the cold cleaning work practice standards at 326 lAC 8-3-2 apply to any degreaser constructed 

after 1990 statewide. The solvent use requirements (i.e., solvents with a vapor pressure less than 1 mmHg) at 

326 lAC 8-3-8 apply in four counties (Lake, Porter, Clark, and Floyd). This rulemaking is proposing to make the 

solvent use requirement for cold cleaners applicable statewide. There is a proposed exemption for solvents 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:39:30PM EST DIN: 20120815-IR-326070352PRA Page 1 
Indiana Register 

containing less than 1% VOC by weight, except for degreasers located in Lake, Porter, Clark, and Floyd counties 

where the solvent use requirements are already applicable. Sources in Lake and Porter counties are already 

subject to the cold cleaning degreasing rules at 326 lAC 8-3 with no exemption for flexographic and rotogravure 

printing activities. The Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for industrial solvent cleaning at 326 lAC 8-17 

exempts solvent cleaning subject to 326 lAC 8-3. 

Comment: To be consistent with federal regulations at 40 CFR 63, Subpart T the definition for "cold cleaner 

degreaser" at 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 should read as follows: "Cold cleaner degreaser" means a tank containing organic 

solvent at a temperature below the boiling point of the solvent which is used to spray, brush, flush, or immerse an 

article for the purpose of cleaning or degreasing the article. Buckets, pails, and beakers with capacities of 7.6 

liters (2 gallons) or less are not considered cold cleaner degreasers. Wipe cleaning activities, such as using a rag 

containing halogenated solvent or a spray cleaner, are not considered cold cleaner degreasers." (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM believes that the definition of "cold cleaner degreaser" at 326 lAC 1-2-18.5 is adequate to 

address concerns that wipe cleaning activities are not included. The definition is limited to tanks containing 

solvent where the solvent is used to spray, brush, flush, or immerse an article for the purpose of cleaning or 

degreasing the article. In order to address the commenter's concern, IDEM is proposing to add the following 

sentence to end of the definition: "Wipe cleaning activities are not considered cold cleaner degreasers." IDEM is 

not proposing to amend the definition to exclude containers less than 2 gallons in size due to concerns that this 

could be considered backsliding. 

Comment: The commenter supports the reorganization of the rule presented in the Continuation of Second 

Notice of Comment Period. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM appreciates the support. 

Comment: The exemption from the work practice standards (sections 2 through 4) of degreasers already 

required to comply with 40 CFR 63, Subpart T should be extended to exempt batch cold cleaner degreasers, 

subject to subpart T, from section 8 solvent use requirements as well. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM did not extend the exemption from Subpart T to the solvent use requirements because an 

owner or operator could switch to a Subpart T solvent to avoid compliance with the vapor pressure limit in section 

8. Subpart T solvents that are not also a volatile organic compounds (VOC) solvent would not be regulated under 

this rule. 

Comment: The commenter supports the establishment of a minimum VOC content for 326 lAC 8-3 to 

encourage sources to explore ways to exempt themselves from the rule by using very low VOC solvents. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM appreciates the support. 

Comment: Microbial degreasing systems should be exempt. Microbial degreasing systems could have VOC 

content (VOC definition at 40 CFR 51.1 00) higher than 1% due to the presence of microbes and enzymes, but 

essentially no traditional "organic solvent" content. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM does not think it is necessary to exempt microbial degreasing systems. The definition of 

VOC only includes compounds which participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions and it is also possible 

that the Method 24 VOC test method would not pick up microbes. 

Comment: The compliance date of January 1, 2013, for the expansion of the solvent use requirements at 326 

lAC 8-3-8 should be revised to January 1, 2015, or later, to provide sources time to come into compliance with the 

new requirement. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM agrees and will revise the compliance date to January 1, 2015. 

Comment: IDEM should develop and implement a proactive educational and technology transfer program to 

reach out to smaller businesses. Some businesses may not purchase "degreasing solvent" but use plain solvents 

purchased as drum stock and may not realize they need to change. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM will work with its Compliance and Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) to provide 

outreach to affected sources. 

Comment: The term "organic solvent" is not defined in Indiana's regulations, and should be replaced by the 

term "solvent" throughout the rule. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM agrees and has made the suggested change. The definition of "solvent" at 326 lAC 1-2-72 

includes "organic materials" and other state rules, such as Illinois and Ohio, for cold cleaning degreasing use the 

term "solvent" also. 

Comment: The vapor pressure limitations in 326 lAC 8-3-8 are impossible to meet unless the requirement is 

restated to properly reflect only the partial pressure of the VOC constituents in the degreasing solvents. Vapor 

pressure would be more correctly expressed as the "summed partial pressure of the VOC constituents in the 

solvent." Use of the term VOC would limit consideration to VOC materials rather than sweeping in non-VOC 

constituents such as acetone. (Lilly) 

Response: As with VOC content limits throughout Article 8, the vapor pressure limitations apply to the VOC 

constituents in the solvent and not water or exempt VOC materials. To be clear, IDEM is proposing to express the 

vapor pressure limit as "VOC composite partial vapor pressure." This term is used in the recently adopted 

"Industrial Solvent Cleaning" rule at 326 lAC 8-17 for sources in Lake and Porter counties. 

Comment: The material requirements in 326 lAC 8-3-8 that apply to sellers of solvents should be stated to 

Date: Mar 01 ,2013 2:39:30PM EST DIN: 20120815-IR-326070352PRA Page 2 
Indiana Register 

account for the recommended dilution and blending of the solvents in use. Many degreaser materials are now 

sold in concentrated form and are intended to be used blended. The materials as sold will therefore have a higher 

partial pressure of VOC constituents than they would have in actual use. The commenter suggests adding the 

phrase "when diluted at the manufacturer's recommended blend and dilution" to 326 lAC 8-3-8(b). (Lilly) 

Response: This type of language has not traditionally been included in other state rules similar to Indiana for 

cold cleaning degreasing with vapor pressure limits. Indiana's new Consumer and Commercial Products Rule 

(CCP), that also applies to sellers includes a provision at 326 lAC 18-15-3(c) applicable to products that are 

diluted prior to use for determining compliance with the VOC content limit. For products for which the label, 

packaging, or accompanying literature specifically states that the product should be diluted with water or 

non-VOC solvent prior to use, the VOC limit applies to the product only after the minimum recommended dilution 

takes place. Similarly, for products diluted with VOC solvent prior to use, the limits apply to the product after the 

maximum recommended dilution takes place. Since VOC limits typically apply, "as applied", IDEM is proposing to 

add the dilution language as suggested. 

Comment: The provision of 326 lAC 8-3-8(b)(1) allowing the sale of noncompliant degreaser solvents seems 

inappropriate. If the determination of the vapor pressure is made using the manufacturer's recommended dilution 

and blending, it is not clear why there would be a need to sell noncompliant materials, since they could not legally 

be used. (Lilly) 

Response: The small quantity exemption for sales less than five gallons reduces the record keeping burden 

for small businesses. 

Comment: With regard to the date of purchase for record requirements at 326 lAC 8-3-8(c), in a contract 

supplier situation, the contractor may deliver over several days to numerous units, and submit a single invoice 

with a total volume. IDEM should allow the use of the service period identified on the bill or invoice sufficient for 

this record. (Lilly) 

Response: IDEM agrees and has amended the language at 326 lAC 8-3-8(c)(1)(B) and 326 lAC 8-3-

.8.(c)(2)(B) as suggested. 

Comment: The req\.]irements regarding "volume of each unit of solvent sold" or "volume of each unit of 

solvent purchased" are not of value to either IDEM or the regulated community, and should not be included. Even 

if IDEM can demonstrate that requiring sellers and purchasers to keep records of "volume of each unit of solvent" 

has some value, the term "unit" is problematic and needs to be clarified or the "per unit" requirement eliminated. 

(Lilly) 

Response: The volume of each unit sold indicates the size of the container sold. The requirements applicable 

to sellers at 326 lAC 8-3-8(b)(1) does not apply to an "amount" less than five gallons. This is similar to 

requirements for cold cleaning degreasers in other states, such as Illinois. Therefore, sellers are required to 

document the volume of each unit. To be consistent with requirements in other states, IDEM is proposing to 

delete the requirement to keep records for "volume of each unit of solvent purchased" as other states with similar 

requirements do not include this provision. 

Comment: IDEM should not require sources to maintain compliance records of the "total volume of solvent" 

sold or purchased. This information is not helpful in estimating emissions from degreasers. In most cases, a 

degreaser is filled, and when the solvent is dirty, it is emptied and refilled. Very often the amount that is removed 

may be larger than the amount originally put into the unit, as substantial amounts of dirt or water may have been 

removed in the degreaser and ended up in the degreasing solvent. Mass balances across cold cleaner 

degreasers to determine actual solvent emissions can be difficult to use when trying to calculate solvent 

emissions. (Lilly) 

Response: The "total volume of solvent" sold or purchased could be useful for enforcement purposes. It 

would be helpful to distinguish between someone that bought and used 15 gallons of noncompliant solvent versus 

someone who bought and used 5,000 gallons. This record keeping requirement is consistent with records 

required by other states. 

Following is a summary of the comments received January 13, 2010, through February 12, 2010, as 

published in the Continuation of Second Notice of Comment Period at DIN: 20120314-IR-326070352SCA, and 

IDEM's responses thereto: 

Comment: Commenter supports the formation of a work group of interested parties and stakeholders to 

assist in development of an appropriate rule for organic solvent degreasers. (ALO) 

Response: IDEM has revised the draft language to provide clarity and address comments that may 

significantly change the impact the draft rule language would have on a source. If there is significant interest in 

the formation of a work group based on this revised language, IDEM will consider forming a work group. 

Comment: IDEM stated in the Second Notice of rulemaking that no additional capital cost for equipment are 

anticipated. This is inaccurate. Alcoa Lafayette Operations believes that the costs of complying with this rule on a 

statewide basis will exceed $500,000 and requests that IDEM conduct a thorough fiscal impact analysis prior to 

implementation of the rule. (ALO) 

Response: IDEM has revised the draft language to provide clarity and address comments that may 

significantly change the impact the draft rule language would have on a source. IDEM requests that sources 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:39:30PM EST DIN: 20120815-IR-326070352PRA Page 3 
Indiana Register 

evaluate potential fiscal impacts and provide comments to assist IDEM in determining the likely costs associated 

with the revised draft rule. 

Comment: The existing 8-hour standard for ozone is currently 0.85 ppm. Currently, all counties in Indiana are 

achieving this standard. U.S. EPA is currently reconsidering lowering the standard to 0.75 ppm. It is inappropriate 

to arbitrarily impose restrictive regulations in anticipation of future regulations without first conducting a scientific 

analysis of the anticipated benefits and costs of regulatory implementation. IDEM has not sufficiently 

demonstrated that requiring the existing solvent degreasers in existence prior to January 1, 1980 will significantly 

improve air quality. (ALO) 

Response: Since these comments were originally submitted, U.S. EPA has lowered the ozone standard to 

0.75 ppm. Though designations are not finalized yet, it is possible that Indiana will have one or more areas 

designated nonattainment for the new standard. Because ozone is a regional pollutant and can impact counties 

beyond the area in which it forms, it is reasonable to address it on a regional basis. For this reason, IDEM is 

proposing to expand the cold cleaner degreasing requirements statewide. Response update: After this response 

was published on March 14, 2012, in the Indiana Register, Lake and Porter counties, and Lawrenceburg 

Township in Dearborn County were designated nonattainment for the new standard. 

Comment: In numerous places in the rule, a numeric regulatory value is set forth in both metric and English 

units. The format used is one set of units is set forth, with the other set appearing in parentheses immediately 

following. For example, in proposed 326 lAC 8-3-0.5, a flash point temperature is described as " ... greater than 

ninety-three (93) degrees Celsius (two hundred (200) degrees Fahrenheit) .... " In all cases in the rule except one, 

however, the two values provided are not equivalent. One is left wondering which value is to be used in 

determining compliance, or whether either may be used. This obviously creates an ambiguity. To correct this 

issue, SABIC-IP has proposed to insert the word "approximately" immediately before the value set forth inside the 

parentheses. This way, the first-named value becomes the sole regulatory value, and the value in parentheses 

becomes an unenforceable approximation. (SABIC) 

Comment: The proposed rule uses pairs of values, one in metric units and the other in English units. Even 

making the second values approximately equal to the first rather than hold them out as being equivalent, four of 

the "second" values in seven locations in the proposed rule are incorrect: 

(a) In 3261AC 8-3-0.5, 93 C equals 199.4 F, which rounds to 199 F. 

(b) In 326 lAC 8-3-1(a)(3)(C) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(a)(2), 2 square meters equals approximately 21.53 square 

feet, which rounds to 21.5 square feet, not 21.6. 

(c) In 326 lAC 8-3-6(a)(3)(B)(iv) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(a)(2)(E)(ii), 15 cubic meters per minute per square meter 

equals approximately 49.2 cubic feet per minute per square foot, which rounds to 49 cubic feet per minute 

per square foot, not 50. 

(d) In 326 lAC 8-3-6(b)(11 )(B) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(b)(6)(A), 20 cubic meters per minute per square meter 

equals approximately 65.6 cubic feet per minute per square foot, which rounds to 66 cubic feet per minute 

per square foot, not 65. 

(SABIC) 

Response: The difference in the values between the metric and English units noted by SABIC is a result of 

rounding. Specifically, it appears that SABIC used the most precise conversion factors possible. However, the 

English units in the rule language represent the metric values adjusted for the appropriate amount of significant 

figures. When approximate numbers are multiplied or divided, the result is expressed as a number having the 

same number of significant digits as the expression in the problem having the least number of significant digits. In 

other words, multiplying a number having four significant digits by a number having two significant digits, the 

correct answer will be expressed to two significant digits. 

SABIC observes that in the proposed 326 lAC 8-3-0.5, a temperature is described as " ... greater than 

ninety-three (93) degrees Celsius (two hundred (200) degrees Fahrenheit) ... " However, 93°C equals 199.4°F, 

which rounds to 199°F, not 200. SABIC's conversion would appear to be correct. However, using accepted 

scientific convention and significant figures, the conversion is completed as follows: T F = (1.8 x T c)+ 32. In this 

example, (1.8 x 93) + 32=199.4°F. The answer 199.4 °F contains 4 significant figures, but the least number of 

significant figures in this problem is two (2). Therefore, the correct answer must contain only 2 significant figures. 

The conversion (199.4) must be rounded to two (2) significant digits. To maintain two (2) significant digits, the 

digits '4' in the tenths place and the digit '9' in the ones place must be dropped. Dropping the '9' requires 

increasing the value by one ( 1 ). This results in the Fahrenheit value becoming 200 which is the value that is 

correctly stated in the rule language. 

IDEM declines to place the word "approximately" immediately before the value in the parentheses. The 

English values provided in the parentheses throughout the rule are the values that will be used for compliance 

determinations, based on IDEM's conversions using the appropriate number of significant figures. IDEM has 

checked and confirmed that all the conversions stated in the rule represent appropriate values. IDEM presents 

both numbers to avoid possible confusion or errors resulting from incorrect conversions. Additionally, these 

methods are consistent throughout IDEM's rules. Regulated sources have the option of using either the metric or 

English units when complying with the rule. Response update: After this response was published on March 14, 

Date: Mar 01,2013 2:39:30PM EST DIN: 20120815-IR-326070352PRA Page4 
Indiana Register 

2012, in the Indiana Register, IDEM agreed for preliminary adoption to amend the rule language to clarify that 

either metric units or English units can be used to demonstrate compliance. 

Comment: The proposed rule is inconsistent in how it refers to a cold cleaner degreaser. In some locations, 

the phrase is used. In other locations, the phrase cold "cleaning" degreaser is used. The regulatory term is "cold 

cleaner degreaser" (see 326 lAC 1-2-18.5). That term should be used throughout the proposed rule. (SABIC) 

Response: IDEM concurs "cleaning" should be "cleaner" in reference to "cold cleaner degreasers" and has 

made the changes in the draft rule. 

Comment: The proposed record keeping requirement in 326 lAC 8-3-8(d)(1) mandates that the records "be 

retained on-site" for a required period. However, given the prevalence of electronic record keeping and storage of 

such data on remote servers, SABIC suggests that this provision be revised to read as follows: " ... shall be (1) 

retained on-site or accessible electronically from the site for the most recent...." (SABIC) 

Response: IDEM concurs that the addition of this language will provide clarity to sources and has made the 

suggested change. 

Comment: Several grammatical changes should be made: 

(a) In 3261AC 8-3-1(a)(2), 3261AC 8-3-1(a)(4), 3261AC 8-3-1(a)(5) and 3261AC 8-3-1(b)(2), the word "state" 

should be changed to "State". 

(b) In 326 lAC 8-3-1 (a)(3)(B) and 326 lAC 8-3-1 (a)(3)(C), 326 lAC 8-3-6(a)(3), 326 lAC 8-3-6(b)(11 ), 326 lAC 

8-3-7(a)(2) and 326 lAC 8-3-7(b)(6), "air to solvent" should be changed to "air-to-solvent". 

(c) In 3261AC 8-3-8(d)(1), "three (3) year" should be changed to "three (3)-year". 

(d) In 326 lAC 8-3-8(d)(2), "two (2) year" should be changed to "two (2)-year". 

(SABIC) 

Response: The format of the word "state" and the phrases "three (3) year" and "two (2) year" are specified by 

the Legislative Services Agency for use in regulatory language and cannot be changed. When drafting rule 

language, IDEM must comply with the requirements for administrative rules set forth in the Administrative Rules 

Drafting Manual, prepared by the Legislative Services Agency. These suggested changes do not meet LSA 

standards for rule language. For review of administrative rule standards please refer to the manual available on 

the website of the Indiana General Assembly at: http://www.in.gov/legislative/pdf/IACDrftMan.PDF 

IDEM concurs that "air to solvent" should be changed to "air-to-solvent", and has made the suggested 

change.

CHAIRMAN MINER: Mr. Quyle? 

MR. QUYLE: Yes. 

CHAIRMAN MINER: Mr. Quyle votes yes. 

I votes yes as well. It's passed unanimously for 

adoption of amendments, 326 IAC 1-3-4 and 

IAC 1-4-1. 

The next item on our agenda is a public 

hearing before the Air Pollution Control Board of 

the State of Indiana regarding final adoption of 

amendments, 326 IAC 1-2-18-5 concerning the 

definition of "cold clean degreaser" and 

amendments to 326 IAC 8-3 concerning solvent 

degreasing operations. 

We will now introduce Exhibit 3 -- thank 

you -- the proposed rule as preliminarily 

adopted, into the record of this hearing. 

Is there someone from the Department who 

wishes to speak? Susan. 

MS. BEM: My name is Susan Bern, and I 

work in the Rules and SIP Section. 

This rulemaking amends 326 IAC 8-3 to 

extend the solvent requirements for cold cleaner 

degreasers to the entire state, provide certain 
32 

1 exemptions for solvent degreasing operations, and
