Nc = number of cans pierced during the month for can type and 
3745-21-09 126 

size category "c" 

Pi = vapor pressure of VOC liquid "i" at eighty degrees 

Fahrenheit, in nnnHg 

R = nine hundred ninety-nine nnnHg-cubic feet per pound 

mole-degrees Kelvin 

T = temperature in · degrees Kelvin (equals two hundred 

seventy-three plus twenty-seven degrees Celsius) 

Xi = mole fraction of VOC liquid "i" in liquid of pierced cans 

(value of one is used for this emissions estimate) 

Vi= volume ofVOC liquid "i" within pierced cans for the month, 

in cubic feet

(7) VOC emissions testing. 

The owner or operator shall conduct, or have conducted, emissions testing for 

the thermal incinerator to demonstrate the thermal incinerator's mass emission 

rate, destruction efficiency, and overall control efficiency for VOC emissions 

from this facility's gashouse operations in accordance with the following 

requirements: 

(a) The emissions testing shall be conducted within six months of March 12. 

2006 af!ef tl!e effeeti'le tlate ef tl!is rule, unless emissions testing had 

been conducted within three years prior to March 12. 2006 tl!e effective 

tlate ef tl!is fl:l!e and the emissions testing demonstrated compliance 

with paragraph (RR)(2) of this rule. 

(b) For the emissions testing, the owner or operator shall meet the general 

provisions of paragraph (A) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative 

Code.

(a) A safety diversion is the venting of gasser operations directly to ambient 

air, instead of being vented to the thermal incinerator, in order to meet 

requirements ofNFPA 30B: "Code for the Manufacturing and Storage 

of Aeroso I Products". A safety diversion occurs when any of the lower 

explosive limit (LEL) detectors in the gashouse detects a concentration 

between twenty per cent and forty per cent of the LEL. Under a safety 

diversion, as described in NFPA 30B, Section 5.4.2(E), the ventilation 

rate of the affected gashouse line is quickly increased, the gashouse line 

is vented immediately to ambient air (i.e. thennal incinerator is 

bypassed), and production activities usually continue. Safety diversion 
3745-21-09 128 

events are less than five minutes and shall be included in the 

determination of compliance with the monthly VOC emission limitation 

of 0.75 pound VOC per thousand aerosol cans produced. A safety 

diversion event is not be a malfunction under paragraph (B) of rule 

3745-15-06 of the Administrative Code. 

(b) An emergency event is a condition that shuts down the line, releases 

propellant in the gasser to atmosphere and vents the gashouse directly 

to ambient air, instead of being vented to the thermal incinerator as 

required by NFPA 30B, Section 5.12. Emergency events include safety 

diversions greater than five minutes, detected LEL concentrations 

greater than forty per cent, low flow alarms, power loss, fire alarms, 

explosion suppression systems discharge, gashouse and thermal 

oxidizer safety system monitoring device fault and emergency stops 

(E-Stops). An E-Stop occurs when a gashouse operator shuts down the 

line due to an observed safety issue caused by the gashouse operation 

such as employee injury, damage to equipment, or operation problems 

such as shredding of cans. The owner or operator shall maintain a 

record of the emergency events. 

(c) The VOC emissions for a safety diversion event shall be calculated based 

on the average concentration of the LEL detectors associated with the 

gashouse line, the flow rate of the gashouse line (measured with a mass 

flow meter), the propellant being filled, and the length of the event 

(seconds). 

(d) The owner or operator shall calibrate the LEL detectors once per month 

following the manufacturer's protocol and shall check the flow meters 

once every six months for accuracy using a pilot tube.

operator for a period of not less than five years and shall be made 

available to the director or any authorized representative of the director 

for review. 

[Comment: This exemption is appropriate for gasoline dispensing 

facilities located at a facility or site serving a known fleet of. motor 

vehicle rental agency, governmental agency, or motor vehicle assembly

( 5) Suspension of control requirements: 

(a) If, as a result of the development of a redesignation request prepared in 

accordance with requirements of the USEPA and Section 107(d)(3)(D) 

of the Clean Air Act contained in 42 USC 7407 ( d)(3)(D), the director 

determines that the stage II vapor control program is not necessary in an 

area to ensure the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for 

ozone and subsequently submits an official redesignation request to the 

USEP A for approval, the director may suspend the requirements of this 

paragraph in that area. This suspension shall remain in effect until a 

violation of the ambient air quality standard for ozone is measured in 

the area or the USEP A disapproves the redesignation request. 

(b) The director also may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in the 

event that the USEP A promulgates or a federal court of last resort 

requires the USEPA to promulgate onboard (on-the-vehicle) refueling 

control standards pursuant to Section 202(a)(6) of the Clean Air Act 

contained in 42 USC 7521(a)(6), unless the director determines that the 

stage II vapor control program is necessary for the attainment and/or 

maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and this 

detern1ination is issued by the director as final findings and orders 

subject to public hearing requirements. If the director determines that 

the stage II vapor control program is not required for the maintenance 

of the ambient air quality standard for ozone after the promulgation of 

onboard control requirements, the director may suspend the 

requirements of this paragraph.
