Current through July 10, 2024
Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4
Affected: IC 13-12
Sec. 3.
(a) On and
				after January 1, 1996, each owner or operator of a wood furniture manufacturing
				operation subject to this rule shall limit VOC emissions from finishing
				operations by doing one (1) of the following:
(1) Using topcoats with a VOC content no
				greater than eight-tenths (0.8) kilogram of VOC per kilogram of solids (kg
				VOC/kg solids) or eight-tenths (0.8) pound of VOC per pound of solids (lb
				VOC/lb solids), as-applied.
(2)
				Using a finishing system of sealers with a VOC content no greater than one and
				nine-tenths (1.9) kg VOC/kg solids (one and nine-tenths (1.9) lb VOC/lb
				solids), as-applied and topcoats with a VOC content no greater than one and
				eight-tenths (1.8) kg VOC/kg solids (one and eight-tenths (1.8) lb VOC/lb
				solids), as-applied.
(3) Using
				sealers and topcoats based on the following criteria, for sources using
				acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealers or acid-cured alkyd amino conversion
				varnish topcoats:
(A) For wood furniture
				manufacturing operations using acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealers and
				acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoats, the following:
(i) The sealer shall contain no more than two
				and three-tenths (2.3) kg VOC/kg solids, (two and three-tenths (2.3) lb VOC/lb
				solids), as-applied.
(ii) The
				topcoat shall contain no more than two (2.0) kg VOC/kg solids, (two (2.0) lb
				VOC/lb solids), as-applied.
(B) For wood furniture manufacturing
				operations using a sealer other than an acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealer and
				acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoats, the following:
(i) The sealer shall contain no more than one
				and nine-tenths (1.9) kg VOC/kg solids (one and nine-tenths (1.9) lb VOC/lb
				solids), as-applied.
(ii) The
				topcoat shall contain no more than two (2.0) kg VOC/kg solids, (two (2.0) lb
				VOC/lb solids), as-applied.
(C) For wood furniture manufacturing
				operations using an acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealer and a topcoat other
				than an acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoat, the following:
(i) The sealer shall contain no more than two
				and three-tenths (2.3) kg VOC/kg solids (two and three-tenths (2.3) lb VOC/lb
				solids), as-applied.
(ii) The
				topcoat shall contain no more than one and eight-tenths (1.8) kg VOC/kg solids
				(one and eight-tenths (1.8) lb VOC/lb solids), as-applied.
(4) Using finishing materials such
				that actual emissions are less than or equal to allowable emissions using one
				(1) of the following averaging equations:

(5) Using a control system that will achieve
				an equivalent reduction in emissions as the requirements of subdivision (1),
				(2), or (3), as calculated using the compliance provisions in section 6(a)(2)
				of this rule, as appropriate.
(6)
				Using a combination of the methods presented in this subsection.
