503 TEST METHODS AND COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS :

503.1 Calculation of VOC Content : For the purpose of determining compliance with the

VOC content limits in the table in Section 301, the VOC content of a coating sha ll be

determined by using the procedures described in Sections 402.1 or 402.2, as appropriate

. as defined in s ubsections 2 76 and 278

. The VOC content of a tint base

shall be determined without colorant that is added after the tint bas e is

manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content must be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufac turer recommends thinning, the VOC Content must be calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent r ecommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multi

component product, the VOC content must be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If

the co ating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOC’s during the curing process, the VOC Content must include the VOC’s emitted during curing.

402.1 With the exception of low solids coatings, determine the VOC content in grams of VOC per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer’s maximum recommendation, excluding the volume of any water and exempt compounds

. Determine the VOC content using the following equation:Rules and Regulations 2 18

- 24 Placer County APCD 503

Ww = weight of water, in grams

Wec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams

Vm = volume of coating, in liters

Vec = volume of exempt compounds, in liters

402.2 For low solids coatings, determine the VOC content in units of grams of VOC per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer’s maximum recommendation, including

the volume of a ny water and exempt compounds

. Determine the VOC content using the following equation:

VOC Contents = (Ws

- Ww

- Wec) / (Vm)

Where: VOC content = the VOC content of a low solids coating in grams of VOC per liter of coating

Ws = weight of all volatiles, in grams

Ww = weight of water, in grams

Wec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams

Vm = volume of coating, in liters

. No modification of the compliance period shall be allowed

. A Program need not be modified to specify additional

coatin gs to be averaged that are below the applicable VOC limits.

A.7 Termination of a Program

A.7.1 A manufacturer may terminate its Program at any time by filing a written notification

to the Executive Officer

. The filing date shall be considered the effective date of the termination, and all other provisions of this rule including the VOC limits shall immediately thereafter apply

. The manufacturer shall also submit a final report 60 days after the termination date

. Any exceedance of the actual emissio ns over the allowable emissions over the period that the Program was in effect shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the entire compliance period.

A.7.2 The Executive Officer may terminate a Program if any of the following circumstances

oc cur:

A.7.2.1 The manufacturer violates the requirements of the approved Program, and at the end of the compliance period, the actual emissions exceed the

allowable emissions.

A.7.2.2 The manufacturer demonstrates a recurring pattern of violations and has consistently failed to take the necessary steps to correct those violations.

A.8 Change in VOC Limits

If the VOC limits of a coating listed in the Program are amended such that its effective date is less than one year from the date of adoption, the affected manufacturer may base its averaging on the prior limits of that coating until the end of the compliance period immediately following the date of adoption.

A.9 Labeling

Each container of any coating that is included in averaging program, and that exceeds the applicable VOC limit in the table in Section 301 shall display the following statement: "This product is subject to architectural coatings averaging provisions in California. ” A symbol specified by the Executive Officer may be used as a s ubstitute.

A.10 ViolationsRules and Regulations 2 18

- 32 Placer County APCD The exceedance of the allowable emissions for any compliance period shall constitute a separate violation for each day of the compliance period

. However, any violation of the requirements of the Averaging Provision of this rule, which the violator can demonstrate, to the Executive Officer, did not cause or allow the emission of an air contaminant and was not the result of negligent or knowing activity may be considered a minor violation.

A.11 Sunset of Averaging Provision

The averaging provision set forth in Appendix A shall cease to be effective on January 1, 2005, after which averaging will no longer be allowed.December 13, 2001
