Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Exempt Units prior to August 1, 2010. An
				owner or operator of lithographic printing lines exempt from the limitations of
				Section 218.407 of this Subpart prior to August 1, 2010, because of the
				criteria in Section 218.405(b) of this Subpart, shall comply with the
				following:
1) Upon initial start-up of a new
				lithographic printing line, and upon modification of a lithographic printing
				line, submit a certification to the Agency that includes:
A) A declaration that the source is exempt
				from the control requirements in Section 218.407 of this Part because of the
				criteria in Section 218.405(b) of this Subpart;
B) Calculations that demonstrate that
				combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines (including inks,
				fountain solutions, and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with
				the lithographic printing lines) at the source never exceed 45.5 kg/day (100
				lbs/day) before the use of capture systems and control devices, as follows:
i) To calculate daily emissions of VOM, the
				owner or operator shall determine the monthly emissions of VOM from all
				lithographic printing lines at the source (including solvents used for cleanup
				operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) and divide this
				amount by the number of days during that calendar month that lithographic
				printing lines at the source were in operation;
ii) To determine the VOM content of the inks,
				fountain solution additives and cleaning solvents, the tests methods and
				procedures set forth in Section 218.409(c) of this Subpart shall be
				used;
iii) To determine VOM
				emissions from inks used on lithographic printing lines at the source, an ink
				emission adjustment factor of 0.05 shall be used in calculating emissions from
				all non-heatset inks except when using an impervious substrate, and a factor of
				0.80 shall be used in calculating emissions from all heatset inks to account
				for VOM retention in the substrate except when using an impervious substrate.
				For impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no emission adjustment
				factor is used. The VOM content of the ink, as used, shall be multiplied by
				this factor to determine the amount of VOM emissions from the use of ink on the
				printing lines; and
iv) To
				determine VOM emissions from fountain solutions and cleaning solvents used on
				lithographic printing lines at the source, no retention factor is
				used;
C) Either a
				declaration that the source, through federally enforceable permit conditions,
				has limited its maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all heatset web
				offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup
				operations associated with heatset web offset printing lines) at the source to
				no more than 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of
				capture systems and control devices or calculations which demonstrate that the
				source's total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM do not exceed 90.7 Mg/yr
				(100 tons/yr). Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM for a heatset web
				offset lithographic printing source is the sum of maximum theoretical emissions
				of VOM from each heatset web offset lithographic printing line at the source.
				The following equation shall be used to calculate total maximum theoretical
				emissions of VOM per calendar year in the absence of air pollution control
				equipment for each heatset web offset lithographic printing line at the source:

where:
Ep
=
Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from one
							 heatset web offset printing line in units of kg/yr (lb/yr);
A
=
Weight of VOM per volume of solids of ink with the
							 highest VOM content as applied each year on the printing line in units of kg/l
							 (lb/gal) of solids;
B
=
Total volume of solids for all inks that can
							 potentially be applied each year on the printing line in units of 1/yr
							 (gal/yr). The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the
							 volume of each ink as applied and the amount that can potentially be applied
							 each year on the printing line shall be described in the certification to the
							 Agency;
C
=
Weight of VOM per volume of fountain solution with
							 the highest VOM content as applied each year on the printing line in units of
							 kg/l (lb/gal);
D
=
The total volume of fountain solution that can
							 potentially be used each year on the printing line in units of 1/yr (gal/yr).
							 The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the volume of
							 each fountain solution used and the amount that can potentially be used each
							 year on the printing line shall be described in the certification to the
							 Agency;
F
=
Weight of VOM per volume of material for the cleanup
							 material or solvent with the highest VOM content as used each year on the
							 printing line in units of kg/l (lb/gal) of such material;
G
=
The greatest volume of cleanup material or solvent
							 used in any 8-hour period;
H
=
The highest fraction of cleanup material or solvent
							 that is not recycled or recovered for offsite disposal during any 8-hour
							 period;
R
=
The multiplier representing the amount of VOM not
							 retained in the substrate being used. For paper, R = 0.8. For metal, plastic,
							 or other impervious substrates, R = 1.0;
D) A
				description and the results of all tests used to determine the VOM content of
				inks, fountain solution additives, and cleaning solvents, and a declaration
				that all such tests have been properly conducted in accordance with Section
				218.409(c)(1) of this Subpart;
