Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The owner and/or operator of any emission
					 source subject to the VOC emission control requirements of this Subpart must,
					 upon request by the department, use Method 311 or Method 24, included in
					 Appendix A of both 40 CFR parts 63 and 60, respectively (see table 1, section
					 200.9  of this Title), to measure
					 the volatile content, water content, density, volume of solids, and weight of
					 solids in order to determine the actual VOC content of an as applied coating
					 during a compliance demonstration.
(b) When the sampling and analysis methods
					 referenced in subdivision (a) or (e) or paragraph (d)(2) of this section are
					 not applicable, alternate sampling and analysis methods can be used, subject to
					 the approval of the department and the administrator.
(c) Representatives of the department must be
					 permitted on the facility owner's property, during reasonable business hours,
					 to obtain coating samples for the purpose of determining compliance with this
					 Subpart.
(d) When an owner and/or
					 operator of a coating line utilizes control equipment to comply with the
					 provisions of this Part, test methods acceptable to the department must be used
					 to determine the overall removal efficiency during a required performance test.
(1) The overall removal efficiency may be
					 made by directly measuring VOC/solvent recovery and VOC/solvent usage rates
					 where VOC/solvent recovery is the only control equipment. Methods provided for
					 in subdivision (a) or (b) of this section must be used.
(2) For any control equipment other than
					 VOC/solvent recovery, this determination must include provisions to determine
					 both the efficiency of the capture system and the control equipment. The
					 approved VOC CE test methods are contained in the following table. Test methods
					 204 through 204F (M204 - M204F) are included in appendix M of  40 CFR part 51
					  (see table 1, section
					 200.9  of this Title). The approved
					 test methods for determining the efficiency of the control equipment are listed
					 in subdivision (e) of this section.

(3) Alternative CE protocols and test methods
					 may be allowed if the data quality objective approach or lower confidence limit
					 approach requirements are met in conjunction with the additional criteria set
					 forth in the EPA guidance document entitled 'Guidelines for Determining Capture
					 Efficiency' (see table 1, section
					 200.9  of this Title). The
					 alternative CE protocols and test methods must be approved in advance by the
					 department. Also, the multiple line testing procedures outlined in the above
					 guidance document can be used to determine CE if the applicable criteria are
					 satisfied. The multiple line testing CE protocols and test methods must be
					 approved in advance by the department.
