Texas Administrative Code › Title 30 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part 1 - TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 115 - CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION FROM VOLATILE ORGANIC › Subchapter E - SOLVENT-USING PROCESSES › Division 2 - SURFACE COATING PROCESSES › Section 115.426 - Monitoring and Recordkeeping Requirements

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The following recordkeeping requirements apply to the
						owner or operator of each surface coating process in the Beaumont-Port Arthur,
						Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas and in Gregg,
						Nueces, and Victoria Counties. Records of non-exempt solvent washings are not
						required to be kept if the non-exempt solvent is directed into containers that
						prevent evaporation into the atmosphere.
(1) The owner or operator shall satisfy the
					 following recordkeeping requirements.
(A) A
					 material data sheet must be maintained that documents the volatile organic
					 compound (VOC) content, composition, solids content, solvent density, and other
					 relevant information regarding each coating and solvent available for use in
					 the affected surface coating processes sufficient to determine continuous
					 compliance with applicable control limits.
(B) Records must be maintained of the
					 quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed during the specified
					 averaging period if any of the coatings, as delivered to the coating
					 application system, exceed the applicable control limits. Such records must be
					 sufficient to calculate the applicable weighted average of VOC for all
					 coatings.
(i) As an alternative to the
					 recordkeeping requirements of this subparagraph, the owner or operator of any
					 vehicle refinishing (body shop) operation subject to §
													115.421(11)
					 of this title may substitute the recordkeeping requirements specified in §
													106.436
					 of this title (relating to Auto Body Refinishing Facility (Previously Standard
					 Exemption 124)) provided that all coatings and solvents meet the emission
					 limits of §
													115.421(11)
					 of this title. If the owner or operator of a vehicle refinishing (body shop)
					 operation that uses any coating or solvent which exceeds the limits of §
													115.421(11)
					 of this title, then the owner or operator shall maintain daily records of the
					 quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed in sufficient detail to
					 calculate the daily weighted average of VOC for all coatings and
					 solvents.
(ii) As an alternative to
					 the recordkeeping requirements of this subparagraph, the owner or operator of
					 any wood parts and products coating operation subject to §
													115.421(14)
					 of this title may substitute the recordkeeping requirements specified in §
													106.231
					 of this title (relating to Manufacturing, Refinishing, and Restoring Wood
					 Products) provided that all coatings and solvents meet the emission limits of
					 §
													115.421(14)
					 of this title. If the owner or operator of a wood parts and products coating
					 operation uses any coating or solvent which exceeds the limits of §
													115.421(14)
					 of this title, then the owner or operator shall maintain daily records of the
					 quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed in sufficient detail to
					 calculate the daily weighted average of VOC for all coatings and
					 solvents.
(iii) As an alternative
					 to the recordkeeping requirements of this subparagraph, the owner or operator
					 of any surface coating operation that qualifies for exemption under §
													115.427(3)(C)
					 of this title (relating to Exemptions) shall maintain records of total gallons
					 of coating and solvent used in each month, and total gallons of coating and
					 solvent used in the previous 12 months.
(C) Records shall be maintained of any
					 testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions
					 specified in §
												115.425 of
					 this title (relating to Testing Requirements).
(D) Records required by subparagraphs (A) -
					 (C) of this paragraph must be maintained for at least two years and must be
					 made available upon request by representatives of the executive director, the
					 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or any local air pollution
					 control agency with jurisdiction.
