RELATES TO:
				KRS
				224.20-100,
				224.20-110,

NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
				KRS
				224.10-100 requires the Environmental and
				Public Protection Cabinet to prescribe administrative regulations for the
				prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution.
				42
				USC 7410 likewise requires the state to
				implement standards for national primary and secondary ambient air quality.
				This administrative regulation provides for the control of volatile organic
				compound emissions from existing coil surface coating operations.
Section 1. Definitions. As used in this
			 administrative regulation, all terms not defined in this section shall have the
			 meaning given to them in
			 401 KAR
			 61:001.
(1)
			 "Affected facility" means a coating line for metal sheets or strips that come
			 in rolls or coils.
(2) "Applicator"
			 means the mechanism or device used to apply the coating, including but not
			 limited to, roller or spray.
(3)
			 "Quench area" means a chamber where the hot metal exiting the oven is cooled by
			 either a spray of water or a blast of air followed by water cooling.
(4) "Prime coat" means the first film of
			 coating applied in a two (2) coat operation which is responsible for protecting
			 the surface from corrosion and providing for good adhesion of the
			 topcoat.
(5) "Topcoat" means the
			 final film of coating applied in a two (2) coat operation to obtain desired
			 aesthetic effects.
(6) "Single
			 coat" means a single film coating applied directly to the metal substrate
			 omitting the prime coat.
(7)
			 "Coating line" means a series of equipment or operations used to apply, dry, or
			 cure any prime, topcoat or single coatings containing volatile organic
			 compounds (VOCs). This shall include, but is not limited to:
(a) Mixing operations;
(b) Process storage;
(c) Applicators;
(d) Drying operations including, but not
			 limited to: quench area, oven drying, baking, curing, and
			 polymerization;
(e) Clean up
			 operations;
(f) Leaks, spills and
			 disposal of VOCs;
(g) Processing
			 and handling of recovered VOCs;
(h)
			 For the purposes of determining compliance with this administrative regulation,
			 if any equipment or operation is considered to be a part of more than one (1)
			 coating line, its VOCs emissions shall be assigned to each coating line of
			 which it is a part proportionally to the throughput of VOCs it receives from or
			 distributes to each coating line;
(i) If any portion of the series of equipment
			 or operations qualifies for an exemption according to Section 6 of this
			 administrative regulation, then that portion shall be considered to be a
			 separate coating line.
(8) "Process storage" means mixing tanks,
			 holding tanks, and other tanks, drums, or other containers which contain
			 surface coatings, VOCs, or recovered VOCs; but does not mean storage tanks of
			 petroleum liquids which are subject to
			 401 KAR
			 59:050, 401 KAR 59:052, or
			 401 KAR
			 61:050.
(9) "Classification date" means June 29,
			 1979.
(10) "VOCs net input" means
			 the total amount of VOCs input to the affected facility minus the amount of
			 VOCs that are not emitted into the atmosphere. VOCs that are prevented from
			 being emitted to the atmosphere by the use of control devices shall not be
			 subtracted from the total for the purpose of determining VOCs net input. If the
			 nature of any operation or design of equipment permits more than one (1)
			 interpretation of this definition, the interpretation that results in the
			 minimum value for allowable emission shall apply.
