Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 218 - ORGANIC MATERIAL EMISSION STANDARDS AND LIMITATIONS FOR THE CHICAGO AREA › Subpart H - PRINTING AND PUBLISHING › Section 218.404 - Recordkeeping and Reporting

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				VOM content of each coating and ink and the efficiency of each capture system
				and control device shall be determined by the applicable test methods and
				procedures specified in Section 218.105 of this Part to establish the records
				required under this Section.
b) Any
				owner or operator of a printing line which is exempted from any of the
				limitations of Section 218.401 of this Part because of the criteria in Section
				218.402(a) of this Part shall comply with the following:
1) By a date consistent with Section 218.106
				of this Part or, for flexographic or rotogravure printing lines that print
				flexible packaging or that print flexible packaging and non-flexible packaging
				on the same line, by January 1, 2012, the owner or operator of a flexographic
				or rotogravure printing line to which this subsection (b) is applicable shall
				certify to the Agency that the flexographic and rotogravure printing line is
				exempt under the provisions of Section 218.402(a) of this Part. Such
				certification shall include:
A) A declaration
				that the flexographic and rotogravure printing line is exempt from the
				limitations of the criteria in Section 218.401 of this Part because of Section
				218.402(a) of this Part; and
B)
				Calculations that demonstrate that the combined potential to emit of all
				flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at the source never equals or
				exceeds 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per year, and that total maximum theoretical
				emissions of VOM from all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at the
				source never exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application
				of capture systems and control devices. Total maximum theoretical emissions of
				VOM for a flexographic or rotogravure printing source is the sum of maximum
				theoretical emissions of VOM from each flexographic and rotogravure printing
				line at the source. The following equation shall be used to calculate total
				maximum theoretical emissions of VOM per calendar year before the application
				of capture systems and control devices for each flexographic and rotogravure
				printing line at the source:

where:
Ep
=
Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from one
							 flexographic or rotogravure printing line in units of kg/year
							 (lbs/year);
A
=
Weight of VOM per volume of solids of the coating or
							 ink with the highest VOM content as applied each year on the printing line in
							 units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating or ink solids;
B
=
Total volume of solids for all coatings and inks that
							 can potentially be applied each year on the printing line in units of l/year
							 (gal/year). The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the
							 volume of each coating and 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 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 (lbs VOM/gal);
D
=
The greatest volume of cleanup material or solvent
							 used in any 8-hour period;
F
=
The highest fraction of cleanup material or solvent
							 which is not recycled or recovered for offsite disposal during any 8-hour
							 period.
