(A) Applicability.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph
			 (A)(2) of this rule, this rule shall apply to any facility that has reinforced
			 plastic composites production operations.
(2) Excluded from this rule, except for the
			 recordkeeping requirements specified under paragraphs (A)(2)(d) and (A)(2)(e)
			 of this rule, are the following:
(a) Any
			 facility that only repairs reinforced plastic composites. Repair includes the
			 non-routine manufacture of individual components or parts intended to repair a
			 larger item as defined in paragraph (GG) of rule
			 3745-21-01
			 of the Administrative Code.
(b) Any
			 facility that is a research and development facility as defined under section
			 3704.01
			 of the Revised Code.
(c) The
			 production of any reinforced plastic composite that is used in the
			 manufacturing of fiberglass boats within the facility.
(d) Any facility in which the reinforced
			 plastic composites operations not otherwise excluded under paragraphs (A)(2)(a)
			 to (A)(2)(c) of this rule use less than 1.2 tons per year of thermoset resins
			 and gel coats that contain styrene combined. The owner or operator of such
			 facility shall maintain records of the amount (in pounds) of thermoset resins
			 and gel coats used each month that contain styrene. These records shall be
			 retained by the owner or operator for a period of not less than five years and
			 shall be made available to the director or any authorized representative of the
			 director for review during normal business hours.
(e) Any facility that has a potential to emit
			 for VOC of less than 10.0 tons per year for all reinforced plastic composites
			 production operations combined. The owner or operator of such facility shall
			 maintain an up-to-date record of the potential to emit for VOC from all
			 reinforced plastic composites production operations, shall employ emission
			 factors or emission estimates in the calculation of the potential to emit that
			 meet paragraph (E) of this rule, shall maintain the records specified in
			 paragraph (P)(2) of this rule for any sheet molding compound manufacturing
			 machine, and within fifteen days after the end of each month, and shall
			 maintain a record of the VOC emissions from any SMC manufacturing machine for
			 the recent month and the rolling twelvemonth period. However, this exclusion is
			 not available for any facility that has, or once had, a potential to emit for
			 VOC equal to or greater than 10.0 tons per year for all reinforced plastic
			 composites production operations combined on or after December 14, 2010.
(3) Upon achieving
			 compliance with this rule, the reinforced plastic composites production
			 operations at the facility are not required to meet rule
			 3745-21-07
			 of the Administrative Code.
