Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) In the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Dallas-Fort
					 Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, as defined in §
											115.10 of
					 this title (relating to Definitions), the owner or operator of a rotogravure or
					 flexographic printing line subject to this division shall:
(1) maintain records of the volatile organic
					 compounds (VOC) content of all inks as applied to the substrate. Additionally,
					 records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used must be maintained. The
					 composition of inks may be determined by the methods referenced in §
												115.435(a)
					 of this title (relating to Testing Requirements) or by examining the
					 manufacturer's formulation data and the amount of dilution solvent added to
					 adjust the viscosity of inks prior to application to the substrate;
(2) maintain daily records of the quantity of
					 each ink and solvent used at a facility subject to the requirements of an
					 alternate means of control approved by the executive director in accordance
					 with §
												115.433
					 of this title (relating to Alternate Control Requirements) that allows the
					 application of inks exceeding the applicable control limits. Such records must
					 be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limitation
					 on a daily weighted average;
(3)
					 install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational
					 parameters of any control device installed to meet applicable control
					 requirements. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning
					 of those devices to design specifications, including:
(A) the exhaust gas temperature of
					 direct-flame incinerators or gas temperature immediately upstream and
					 downstream of any catalyst bed;
(B)
					 the total amount of VOC recovered by a carbon adsorption or other solvent
					 recovery system during a calendar month;
(C) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any
					 carbon adsorption system, as defined in §
													115.10 of
					 this title, to determine if breakthrough has occurred; and
(D) the dates and reasons for any maintenance
					 and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and
					 duration of VOC emissions during such activities;
(4) maintain the results of any testing
					 conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified
					 in §
												115.435(a)
					 of this title;
(5) maintain all
					 records at the affected facility for at least two years and make such records
					 available upon request to authorized representatives of the executive director,
					 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or any local air
					 pollution agency with jurisdiction; and
(6) maintain on file the capture efficiency
					 protocol submitted under §
												115.435(a)(8)
					 of this title. The owner or operator shall submit all results of the test
					 methods and capture efficiency protocols to the executive director within 60
					 days of the actual test date. The source owner or operator shall maintain
					 records of the capture efficiency operating parameter values on-site for a
					 minimum of one year. If any changes are made to capture or control equipment,
					 the owner or operator is required to notify the executive director in writing
					 within 30 days of these changes, and a new capture efficiency or control device
					 destruction or removal efficiency test may be required.
