(a) The volatile
					 organic compounds (VOC) from coatings and solvents used in surface coating
					 processes and associated cleaning operations not addressed by the surface
					 coating categories in §115.421(3) - (7), (9), (10), and (13) - (16) of
					 this title (relating to Emission Specifications) or §
											115.453 of
					 this title (relating to Control Requirements) are excluded from the VOC
					 emission calculations for the purposes of paragraphs (1) - (3) of this
					 subsection. For example, architectural coatings applied in the field to
					 stationary structures and their appurtenances, portable buildings, pavements,
					 or curbs at a property would not be included in the calculations.
(1) All surface coating processes on a
					 property that, when uncontrolled, will emit a combined weight of VOC of less
					 than 3.0 pounds per hour and 15 pounds in any consecutive 24-hour period are
					 exempt from §
												115.453 of
					 this title.
(2) Surface coating
					 processes on a property that, when uncontrolled, will emit a combined weight of
					 VOC of less than 100 pounds in any consecutive 24-hour period are exempt from
					 §
												115.453(a)
					 of this title if documentation is provided to and approved by both the
					 executive director and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to
					 demonstrate that necessary coating performance criteria cannot be achieved with
					 coatings that satisfy applicable VOC limits and that control equipment is not
					 technologically or economically feasible.
(3) Surface coating processes on a property
					 where total coating and solvent usage does not exceed 150 gallons in any
					 consecutive 12-month period are exempt from the VOC limits in §
												115.453(a)
					 of this title.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The
					 following control requirements apply to surface coating processes subject to
					 this division. Except as specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection, these
					 limitations are based on the daily weighted average of all coatings, as defined
					 in §
											101.1 of
					 this title (relating to Definitions), as delivered to the application system.
(1) The following limits must be met by
					 applying low-volatile organic compound (VOC) coatings to meet the specified VOC
					 content limits on a pound of VOC per gallon of coating basis (lb VOC/gal
					 coating) (minus water and exempt solvent), or by applying coatings in
					 combination with the operation of a vapor control system, as defined in
					 §115.10 (relating to Definitions), to meet the specified VOC emission
					 limits on a pound of VOC per gallon of solids basis (lb VOC/gal solids). If a
					 coating meets more than one coating type definition, then the coating with the
					 least stringent VOC limit applies.
(A) Large
					 appliances. If a coating does not meet a specific coating type definition, then
					 it can be assumed to be a general-use coating and the VOC limit for general
					 coating applies.

(B)
					 Metal furniture. If a coating does not meet a specific coating type definition,
					 then it can be assumed to be a general-use coating and the VOC limit for
					 general coating applies.

(C)
					 Miscellaneous metal parts and products. If a coating does not meet a specific

					 Automotive/transportation and business machine plastic parts. For red, yellow,
					 and black automotive/transportation coatings, except touch-up and repair
					 coatings, the VOC limit is determined by multiplying the appropriate limit in
					 Table 1 of this subparagraph by 1.15.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
					 For the owner or operator of a surface coating process subject to this
					 division, alternate methods of demonstrating and documenting continuous
					 compliance with the applicable control requirements or exemption criteria in
					 this division may be approved by the executive director in accordance with
					 §
											115.910
					 of this title (relating to Availability of Alternate Means of Control) if
					 emission reductions are demonstrated to be substantially equivalent.
(b) For any surface coating process at a
					 specific property, the executive director may approve requirements different
					 from those in §
											115.453(a)(1)(C)
					 of this title (relating to Control Requirements) based upon the executive
					 director's determination that such requirements will result in the lowest
					 emission rate that is technologically and economically reasonable. When the
					 executive director makes such a determination, the executive director shall
					 specify the date or dates by which such different requirements must be met and
					 shall specify any requirements to be met in the interim. If the emissions
					 resulting from such different requirements equal or exceed 25 tons a year for a
					 property, the determinations for that property must be reviewed every five
					 years. Executive director approval does not necessarily constitute satisfaction
					 of all federal requirements nor eliminate the need for approval by the United
					 States Environmental Protection Agency in cases where specified criteria for
					 determining equivalency have not been clearly identified in applicable sections
					 of this chapter.
