RULE 1132. FURTHER CONTROL OF VOC EMISSIONS FROM HI GHEMITTING SPRAY BOOTH FACILITIES

(a) Purpose and Applicability The purpose of this rule is to further reduce volat ile organic compound (VOC) emissions from spray coating or laminating operatio ns in high VOC-emitting facilities. This rule applies to any spray booth f acility, except petroleum industry facilities, that uses VOC-containing materials that amount to more than 40,000 pounds (20 tons) per year of VOC emissions in any e mission inventory year beginning in 1999. Except when a specific exemptio n applies, the facilities subject to this rule shall continue to comply with other rules that are applicable to the same operation.

(b) Definitions For the purpose of this rule, the following definit ions shall apply: (1) APPROVED EMISSION FACTORS are those emission factor s identified in the Unified Emission Factors (UEFs) table for Open Molding of Composites which was published in July 23, 2001, included
as Attachment A of this rule excluding the “Gelcoat Non-Atomized Application” emission factors, or any subsequent emission factors developed for open molding of composites that have been approved by the Executive Officer, the Executive Officer of the California Air Resources Board or designee, and the administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency or designee. (2) CAPTURE SYSTEM is an arrangement of devices such as enclosures, plenums, fans and ductworks used to collect VOC-lad en air from the process area and direct it to the control equipment

. (3) COMPOSITE MATERIAL is comprised of a gel coat, resi n and reinforcement element combined in a thermosetting p olymer matrix which is chemically or mechanically bonded. (4) COMPOSITE MANUFACTURING FACILITY is any facility en gaged in the manufacturing of products using composite material.

1132 - 2 (5) EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM is a combination of capture system(s) and control equipment used to reduce, eliminate or control the release of VOC to the atmosphere. (6) EMISSION INVENTORY YEAR is the annual emission repo rting period beginning from July 1 of the previous year t hrough June 30 of a given year. For example, emission inventory year 1 999 covers the period from July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999. (7) EXCESS EMISSION REDUCTIONS are VOC emission reducti ons that are not required by any other District requirement as of January 19, 2001. Excess emission reductions also include any reductions achieved on or after January 19, 2001 in excess of the requi rements of subdivision (c) resulting from a process change subject to best available control technology (BACT) as specified in Regulation XIII a nd implemented solely for the purpose of complying with this rule. (8) FACILITY is any equipment or group of equipment or other VOCemitting activities, which are located on one or mo re contiguous properties within the District, in actual physical contact or separated solely by a public roadway or other public right-of -way, and are owned or operated by the same person (or by persons under common control), or an outer continental shelf (OCS) source as deter mined in 40 CFR Section 55.2. Such above-described groups, if nonc ontiguous, but connected only by land carrying a pipeline, shall n ot be considered one facility. (9) GEL COAT is a thermosetting resin surface coating, either pigmented or clear, that provides a cosmetic enhancement and imp roves resistance to degradation from exposure to the elements. (10) NONATOMIZED APPLICATION is any resin application te chnology in which the resin is not broken into droplets or an a erosol as it travels from the application equipment to the surface of an object. Nonatomized application technology includes, but is not limited to, flowcoaters, flow choppers, pressure-fed rollers, r esin impregnators, and hand applications using a brush or roller. (11) PETROLEUM INDUSTRY FACILITY is any facility primari ly engaged in the production, refining, storage, transfer or d istribution of crude petroleum or petroleum products as defined in the S tandard Industrial Classification for crude petroleum and natural gas (SIC code 1311),Rule 1132 (Cont.) (Amended May 5, 2006)

(12) RESIN is any thermosetting polymer used to encapsulate and bind together reinforcement fibers in the manufacturing of composites. (13) SPRAY BOOTH is any equipment or enclosure used to c apture or reduce overspray from the application of any coatin g, lamination, or other VOC-containing materials, that requires a per mit from the District. A spray booth includes standard bench type, floor t ype, and automotive type spray booths, as well as prep stations, spray stations (i.e., a bank of filters with a plenum and exhaust fan), and spray r ooms. (14) SPRAY BOOTH FACILITY is any facility that has insta lled one or more spray booths. A facility subject to a Distric t rule or regulation that requires installation of any spray booth is also co nsidered as a spray booth facility. (15) VOC-CONTAINING MATERIAL is any material that contai ns VOC including, but not limited to, resins, polymers, ge l coats, coatings, paints, varnishes, stains, sealers, thinners, cleanup solve nts, thinning solvents, inks, fountain solutions, adhesives, and sealants. VOC-containing materials do not include fuels or combustion produc ts. (16) VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC) are as defined in Rule
102.

(c) Requirements On or after the effective date specified in paragra ph (e)(1), a person shall not operate any spray booth facility subject to this ru le, unless the VOC emissions from any equipment, activity or operation that appl ies, or is required by any District rule, regulation or permit to apply, VOC-c ontaining materials in a spray booth are reduced through the use of the following: (1) An emission control system that has an overall effi ciency of at least 65 percent by weight; or (2) VOC-containing materials that have a VOC content at least 65 percent lower than any applicable rule limit in effect as o f January 19, 2001; or (3) A combination of methods specified in paragraphs (c )(1) and (c)(2), which when individually applied do not meet the specified reduction Deleted: resinRule 1132 (Cont.)
