A safety diversion occurs when any of the lower explosive limit (LEL) detectors in the gashouse detects a concentration between twenty per cent and forty per cent of the LEL. Under a safety diversion, as described in NFPA 30B, Section 5.4.2(E), the ventilation rate of the affected gashouse line is quickly increased, the gashouse line is vented immediately to ambient air (i.e. thermal incinerator is bypassed), and production activities usually continue. Safety diversion events are less than five minutes and shall be included in the determination of compliance with the monthly VOC emission limitation of 0.75 pound VOC per thousand aerosol cans produced. A safety diversion event is not be a malfunction under paragraph (B) of rule 3745-15-06 of the Administrative Code.

Emergency events include safety diversions greater than five minutes, detected LEL concentrations greater than forty per cent, low flow alarms, power loss, fire alarms, explosion suppression systems discharge, gashouse and thermal oxidizer safety system monitoring device fault and emergency stops (E-Stops). An E-Stop occurs when a gashouse operator shuts down the line due to an observed safety issue caused by the gashouse operation such as employee injury, damage to equipment, or operation problems such as shredding of cans. The owner or operator shall maintain a record of the emergency events.

(c) The VOC emissions for a safety diversion event shall be calculated based on the average concentration of the LEL detectors associated with the gashouse line, the flow rate of the gashouse line (measured with a mass flow meter), the propellant being filled, and the length of the event (seconds).

(d) The owner or operator shall calibrate the LEL detectors once per month following the manufacturer's protocol and shall check the flow meters once every six months for accuracy using a pilot tube.

The monthly gasoline throughput shall be based upon the average monthly sales of gasoline during the period from November 16, 1990 through November 15, 1992; however, if a gasoline dispensing facility was inactive for any portion of this two year calculation period, the calculation period may be extended to include a total of twenty-four months of activity. This exemption shall cease to apply to a facility if during any calendar month after November 15, 1992, the gasoline throughput equals or exceeds ten thousand gallons or fifty thousand gallons, whichever is applicable. Furthermore, this exemption shall not apply to any facility which installed a vapor control system pursuant to paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule and the monthly gasoline throughput subsequently falls below ten thousand gallons per month or, if owned by an independent small business marketer, fifty thousand gallons per month.

(b) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to marinas and aircraft refueling stands.

(c) Paragraphs (DDD)(1)(a) and (DDD)(1)(b) of this rule that refer to a CARB certification shall not apply to any vapor control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant. In cases where it has been determined that the test procedures specified in paragraph (DDD)(2)(a)(i) or (DDD)(2)(a)(ii) of this rule are not appropriate for a vapor control system at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant, alternative test procedures may be employed and alternative testing deadlines may be established provided that written, prior approval has been obtained from the Ohio EPA.

(d) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to any motor vehicle fueling or refueling operation which is located at an automobile or light-duty truck assembly plant or heavier vehicle assembly facility and which, considered alone, has a monthly gasoline throughput of less than ten thousand gallons per month.

(iii) Submits a certification statement, signed by an authorized representative, to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that confirms that the gasoline dispensing facility has complied with paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(i)(b) of this rule. The certification statement shall be submitted within thirty days after the leak test is conducted.

(ii) Paragraph (DDD)(1) of this rule shall not apply to a "new gasoline dispensing facility" if the facility does both of the following:

(a) Installs low permeation hoses by October 1, 2013 or within thirty days of starting operations, whichever occurs later.

(b) Notifies Ohio EPA in writing that owner or operator intends to comply with the provisions of paragraph (DDD)(4)(g) of this rule by May 29, 2013 or the commencement of construction.

(5) Suspension of control:

(a) If, as a result of the development of a redesignation request prepared in accordance with requirements of the USEPA and Section 107(d)(3)(D) of the Clean Air Act contained in 42 USC 7407 (d)(3)(D), the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is not necessary in an area to ensure the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and subsequently submits an official redesignation request to the USEPA for approval, the director may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in that area. This suspension shall remain in effect until a violation of the ambient air quality standard for ozone is measured in the area or the USEPA disapproves the redesignation request.

(b) The director also may suspend the requirements of this paragraph in the event that the USEPA promulgates or a federal court of last resort requires the USEPA to promulgate onboard (on-the-vehicle) refueling control standards pursuant to Section 202(a)(6) of the Clean Air Act contained in 42 USC 7521(a)(6), unless the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is necessary for the attainment or maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone and this determination is issued by the director as final findings and orders subject to public hearing requirements. If the director determines that the stage II vapor control program is not required for the maintenance of the ambient air quality standard for ozone after the promulgation of onboard control requirements, the director may suspend the requirements of this paragraph.

(c) The director may extend the compliance date in paragraph (DDD)(4)(g)(ii) of this rule to install low permeation hoses, if the director determines that the equipment is not readily available or if the equipment does not adequately control permeation.

(d) Beginning January 7, 2014, gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with stage II vapor control systems may start decommissioning the stage II vapor control systems in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) Not later than fourteen days prior to decommissioning the stage II vapor recovery system, notify Ohio EPA or the local air agency, in writing, that the gasoline dispensing facility intends to decommission the stage II vapor recovery system and on what date the decommissioning will occur.

(iv) Prior to dispensing gasoline after the decommissioning has been completed, install low permeation hoses on all dispensers. Documentation of the use of low permeation hoses shall be retained for a period of not less than three years and shall be made available to the director or the director's authorized representative for review within seven business days of a request.

(v) Within thirty days after the decommissioning has been completed, apply for a permit-by-rule or permit-to-install and operate for the stage I system in accordance with Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Code and submit a certification statement, signed by an authorized representative, to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that confirms that the gasoline dispensing facility has been decommissioned in accordance with petroleum equipment institute's guidance, "Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Refueling Sites, PEI/RP300" and low permeation hoses have been installed on all dispensers.

[Comment: This rule specifies that, after decommissioning, a facility apply for either a permit-by-rule or permit-to-install and operate. In the event that Ohio EPA has not developed a permit-by-rule for decommissioned stage II facilities, the source owner or operator may apply for a permit-by-rule that conforms to the conditions of the appropriate permit-by-rule form consistent with the requirements of the rule. Ohio EPA will hold the applications in abeyance while the agency finalizes the amendments to rule 3745-31-03 of the Administrative Code to reflect the option of a decommissioned stage II facility.]

(e) No later than January 1, 2017, all gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with stage II vapor control systems shall have decommissioned the stage II vapor control systems in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph (DDD)(5)(d) of this rule. The director may extend this deadline one year on an individual gasoline dispensing facility basis, if the gasoline dispensing facility can demonstrate that it is technically infeasible to comply with paragraph (DDD)(5)(d) of this rule or can demonstrate substantial economic hardship that prevents the decommissioning. The gasoline dispensing facility shall receive written authorization from the director in order to extend the decommissioning deadline.

(EEE) Portable oil and gas sources. Portable oil and gas sources relocating to Butler, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Hamilton, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or Summit or Warren county may be subject to the USEPA CTG "Control Techniques Guidelines for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry." Sources subject to the requirements of this CTG shall submit an application for a federally enforceable installation permit in accordance with Chapter 3745-31 of the Administrative Code to incorporate applicable requirements of the CTG into a federally enforceable permit prior to relocation. The applicable requirements will be submitted to USEPA for incorporation into the Ohio state implementation plan.

(B) Method for the determination of volatile organic compound content, solids content, and density of surface coatings and inks.

(1) This method applies to coatings, inks or other coating materials employed in a coating line, printing line or other operation. For purposes of this method "coating" shall also mean "ink" or other coating material.

(2) Any determination of VOC content, solids content, or density of a coating shall be based on the coating as employed (as applied), including the addition of any thinner or viscosity reducer to the coating.

(3) When a sample of a coating is obtained for analysis by any of the procedures described in this method, the amount of the sample shall be at least one quart. The sample shall be placed in an air-tight container. When multiple package coatings are sampled, separate samples of each component shall be obtained.

(4) Using either the procedures set forth in USEPA method 24 (for coatings), USEPA method 24A (for flexographic and rotogravure printing inks and related coatings) and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPP, Appendix A (for reactive adhesives), or the coating formulation data from the coating manufacturer and coating user, the following shall be determined, where appropriate:

DC = density of coating, in pounds of coating per gallon of coating.

DVM = density of volatile matter in coating, in pounds of volatile matter per gallon of volatile matter.

VS = volume fraction of solids (nonvolatile matter) in coating, in gallon of solids per gallon of coating.

If this weight fraction is determined by ASTM D2369, "Standard Test Method for Volatile Content of Coatings," the drying conditions shall be one hundred ten degrees Celsius for one hour, except where otherwise authorized by the director based on an alternate analytical procedure that is satisfactorily demonstrated to the director by the coating manufacturer to be more representative of the actual cure mechanism of the coating.

WW = weight fraction of water in coating, in pound of water per pound of coating.

(5) If the coating contains a volatile matter other than VOC or water, the identity and content of such volatile matter may be determined using either standard gas chromatographic techniques or coating formulation data from the coating manufacturer and coating user. The density of such volatile matter may be determined using either the procedures set forth in ASTM D1475 or data from reference texts. For purposes of this method, such volatile matter shall be referred to as exempt solvent. The following may be determined, where appropriate:

DES = density of exempt solvent, in pounds of exempt solvent per gallon of exempt solvent.

VES = volume fraction of exempt solvent in coating, in gallon of exempt solvent per gallon of coating.

WES = weight fraction of exempt solvent in coating, in pound of exempt solvent per pound of coating.

(6) The weight fraction WVOC of VOC in a coating and the volume fraction VVOC of VOC in a coating shall be calculated as follows, where appropriate:

WVOC = WVM - WW - WES

VVOC = VVM - VW - VES

(7) The VOC content of a coating can be expressed as follows:

CVOC,1 = VOC content in pounds of VOC per gallon of coating.

CVOC,2 = VOC content in pounds of VOC per gallon of coating, excluding water and exempt solvents.

CVOC,3 = VOC content in pounds of VOC per gallon of solids.

CVOC,5 = VOC content in percentage VOC by volume of the coating, excluding water and exempt solvents.

CVOC,6 = VOC content in percentage VOC by volume of the volatile matter.

CVOC,7 = VOC content in percentage VOC by weight of the coating.

(8) The VOC content of a coating shall be calculated as follows, where appropriate:

CVOC,1 = (DC)(WVOC)

CVOC,2 = (DC)(WVOC) / (VS + VVOC)

CVOC,3 = (DC)(WVOC) / VS

CVOC,4 = WVOC / WS

CVOC,5 = (100)(VVOC) / (VS + VVOC)

CVOC,6 = (100)(VVOC) / VVM

CVOC,7 = (100)(WVOC)

(9) The weighted average VOC content of the coatings employed during a specified time period t shall be calculated as follows, where appropriate:

where:

A = subscript denoting that the indicated VOC content is a weighted average of the coatings employed during time period t.

LC = liquid volume of coating employed during time period t, in gallons of coating.

MC = mass (weight) of coating employed during time period t, in pounds of coating.

i = subscript denoting a specific coating employed during time period t.

n = total number of coatings employed during time period t.

t = time period specified for the weighted average VOC content.

(10) The density of the VOC content of a coating may be determined using either the procedures set forth in ASTM D1475 or data from reference texts. If ASTM D1475 is employed, the density shall be the arithmetic average of three determinations.

(11) In the event of a dispute between coating formulation data and data obtained by analytical procedures, the data obtained by analytical procedures shall be employed, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (B)(12) of this rule.

(12) If a VOC content value obtained by analytical procedures is higher than a VOC content value obtained by formulation data due to any VOC that is formed during baking or curing (i.e., cure volatiles), then the VOC content of the portion of the coating not subject to curing or baking shall be based on formulation data and the VOC content of the portion of the coating subject to curing or baking shall be based on analytical procedures. The portion of the coating subject to curing or baking shall be equal to the measured transfer efficiency for the coating applicator and object being coated. The approach described in this paragraph for determining the VOC content of a coating may be used only when the applicable VOC limitation is expressed in terms of pounds of VOC per gallon of deposited solids and the transfer efficiency test method is specified in this rule or rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code. Also, in cases where analytical results and formulation data are combined for a waterborne coating, the interlaboratory precision adjustments specified in the analytical procedures shall not be applied to the analytical results.

(C) Method for the determination of VOC concentration, VOC mass emission rate and VOC control equipment efficiency.

(1) The provisions of this paragraph are generally applicable to the test methods employed to determine the VOC concentration and VOC mass emission rate for a gas stream or exhaust vent and the collection or control efficiency for any control equipment designed, installed, and operated for the purpose of reducing the emission of VOC. For purposes of this paragraph, "vapor collection system" also means capture system and "vapor control system" also means control system or control device.

(2) The concentration of VOC in a gas stream or exhaust vent shall be determined by utilizing the following methods:

(a) USEPA method 25 or USEPA method 25A, as appropriate, for sources specified in paragraphs (C) to (L), (P), (R), (S), (U), (W) to (Y), (FF), (GG), (LL) to (NN) [if the control efficiency compliance option in (LL), (MM) or (NN) is chosen] and, (PP), (SS), (VV)(2), (XX)(1), (YY), (ZZ)(1)(a), (AAA)(1), and (BBB) of rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code; or

(b) USEPA method 18 or USEPA method 25A, as appropriate, for sources specified in paragraphs (O)(3)(c)(iv), (O)(4)(a)(ii), (CC) to (EE), and (LL) to (NN) [if the ppmv compliance option in (LL), (MM) or (NN) is chosen] of rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code.

(3) The following procedures shall be included in any source testing or determination where applicable:

(a) The source shall be operated at or near maximum operating capacity during any testing and the measurement of the operating rate shall be made in a manner acceptable to the Ohio EPA.

(b) The VOC content of any coatings employed shall be sampled and analyzed in accordance with paragraph (B) of this rule.

(c) The capture efficiency of any vapor collection system used to transport the VOC emissions from their point of origin to the vapor control system shall be determined in accordance with USEPA methods 204 to 204F or the alternative capture efficiency testing protocols specified in the USEPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards document entitled "Guidelines for determining capture efficiency."

(d) The control efficiency of any vapor control system used to reduce the emission of VOC shall be based upon an emissions test or a recovery test. For a vapor control system that destroys VOC (e.g., an incineration system), either the streams entering and leaving the vapor control system shall be tested or, if acceptable to the director, the amount of VOC employed shall be measured and the gas stream leaving the vapor control system shall be tested. For a vapor control system that recovers VOC (e.g., a carbon adsorption system), either the gas streams entering and leaving the vapor control system shall be tested or, if acceptable to the director, the amounts of VOC employed and recovered or, employed and emitted, shall be measured or tested.

(e) For the testing of a gas stream vented to a vapor control system, samples shall be taken simultaneously at the inlet and the outlet of the vapor control system.

(f) For the testing of a gas stream, the sampling location, volumetric flow rate, molecular weight, carbon dioxide and oxygen contents, excess air, and water vapor content shall be determined in accordance with USEPA methods 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3 and 4.

(g) For gas streams tested by USEPA method 25 or 25A, the VOC emission rate shall be based upon the average of three test runs. Each run shall have a minimum duration of one hour and a minimum sample volume of .003 dry standard cubic meter, except that shorter sampling times or smaller volumes, when necessitated by process variables, may be found acceptable.

(h) The control efficiency of the vapor control system shall be the per cent reduction in mass emissions of VOC between the inlet and the outlet of the vapor control system. If this efficiency is based upon an emissions test utilizing USEPA method 25 or 25A, the mass emissions of VOC as carbon shall be employed in the efficiency determination.

(i) The capture efficiency of the vapor collection system shall be the per cent of total mass emissions of VOC emitted from the source which are vented to the vapor control system. If this efficiency is based upon an emissions test utilizing USEPA method 25 or 25A, the mass emissions of VOC as carbon shall be employed in the efficiency determination.

(j) The overall control efficiency (in per cent) of any control equipment for VOC emissions shall be the vapor capture efficiency multiplied by the vapor control efficiency and divided by one hundred.

(k) The total mass emission rate of VOC from a source equipped with control equipment shall be the sum of VOC emissions from the vapor control system, VOC emissions not collected by the vapor collection system and VOC emissions from any losses associated with the vapor collection system and vapor control system.

(4) The VOC mass emissions rate for a gas stream tested by USEPA method 18 shall be calculated as follows:

where:

Es = VOC mass emission rate for the gas stream, in kilograms of VOC per hour (kg VOC/hr).

K = 2.494 × 10-6 (gram mole-kilogram-minute per standard cubic meter-gram-ppmv-hour).

where the standard temperature for gram-mole per standard cubic meter is twenty degrees Celsius.

Qs = volumetric flow rate of gas stream, in dry standard cubic meters per minute , at a standard temperature of twenty degrees Celsius.

Ci = concentration of sample component i, in ppmv, dry basis.

Mi = molecular weight of sample component i, in grams per gram-mole.

i = subscript denoting a specific sample component, which is a VOC, in the gas stream.

n = total number of sample components, which are VOC, in the gas stream.

(5) The mass emission rate of VOC as carbon for a gas stream tested by USEPA method 25 shall be calculated as follows:

Es = K CsQs

where:

Es = mass emission rate of VOC as carbon for the gas stream, in kilograms of carbon per hour (kg C/hr).

K = 1 × 10-6 kilograms per milligram.

Cs = concentration of VOC as carbon in the gas stream, in milligrams of carbon per dry standard cubic meter.

Qs = volumetric flow rate of the gas stream, in dry standard cubic meters per hour.

(6) To convert a mass emission rate from kilograms per hour to pounds per hour, multiply the mass emission rate in kilograms per hour by 2.2046.

(7) To convert a mass emission value from VOC as carbon to VOC, divide the mass emission value of VOC as carbon by the weight fraction of carbon in the average molecular weight of the VOC emission. The determination of this weight fraction of carbon may be based on standard analytical techniques or material formulation data.

(D) Method for the determination of VOC emissions from solvent metal cleaning:

(1) This method is applicable to determining VOC emissions from solvent metal cleaning equipment.

(2) The purpose of this method is to quantify, by material balance, the amount of solvent input into a degreaser over a sufficiently long period of time so that an average emission rate can be computed.

(3) The following procedure shall be followed to perform a material balance test:

(a) Clean the degreaser sump before testing.

(b) Record the amount of initial and make-up solvent added to the tank with a flow meter or other means.

(c) Record the type and amount or weight of work load degreased each day.

(d) At the end of the test run, pump out the used solvent and measure the amount with a flow meter or other means. Also, estimate the volume of metal chips and other material remaining in emptied sump, if significant.

(e) Bottle a sample of the used solvent and analyze it to find the per cent that is oil and other contaminants. The oil and solvent proportions can be estimated by weighing samples of used solvent before and after boiling off the solvent. Compute the volume of oils in the used solvent. The volume of solvent displaced by this oil along with the volume of make-up solvent added during operations is equal to the amount of VOC emissions.

(4) The following procedure can be followed to perform a material balance test in lieu of the procedure in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule:

(a) Clean the degreaser sump before testing.

(b) Record the amount of initial and make-up solvent added to the tank as measured with a flow meter or other means.

(c) Record the type and amount or weight of work load degreased over the period of the test.

(d) Record the amount of used solvent pumped out of the tank for disposal as measured with a flow meter or other means.

(e) Bottle a sample of the used solvent and analyze it to find the per cent that is oil and other contaminants.

(f) The VOC emissions from solvent metal cleaning equals the total solvent added to the tank minus the solvent contained in the used solvent being disposed.

(E) Method for the determination of VOC emissions from bulk gasoline terminals.

k = constant, 1.740 × 10-7 (megajoule-gram mole per parts per million-standard cubic meter-kilocalorie), where the standard temperature for gram-mole per standard cubic meter (g mole/scm) is twenty degrees Celsius.

Ci = concentration of sample component i in ppmv, as measured by the procedures in USEPA method 18, and ASTM D1946 reported on a wet basis.

Hi = net heat of combustion of sample component i, in kilocalories per gram-mole. The heat of combustion may be determined using the procedures in ASTM D2382 if published values are not available or cannot be calculated.

(c) In the event a commercial bakery oven facility meets paragraph (A)(2)(a) of this rule, but reduces the total uncontrolled potential to emit for VOCs to less than one hundred tons per year by no later than August 25, 2009, the facility is not subject to paragraphs (D) to (I) of this rule. If such commercial bakery oven facility subsequently meets paragraph (A)(2)(a) of this rule, then the facility becomes subject to paragraphs (D) to (I) of this rule.

(B) Definitions.

The definitions applicable to this rule are contained in paragraphs (B) and (U) of rule 3745-21-01 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Determination of total uncontrolled potential to emit.

(1) The owner or operator of each commercial bakery oven facility shall calculate the facility's total uncontrolled potential to emit, UPTE(facility), for VOC emissions in tons per year, using either the equations in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(c) of this rule and the provisions in paragraphs (C)(2) to (C)(4) of this rule, or a USEPA administrator-approved alternative method if the use of that alternative method is approved in writing by the USEPA administrator for this purpose:

(a) UPTE(facility) equals the sum of the UPTE(oven) for all bakery ovens at the facility (in tons VOC per year)

(b) UPTE(oven) is calculated for each bakery oven as follows:

UPTE(oven) =PA * EFVOC * (1 ton/2000 pounds)

where:

PA = the bakery oven's maximum annual production rate for yeast-leavened finished bakery product (in tons of baked product per year).

EFVOC = VOC emission factor for the bakery oven's yeast-leavened finished bakery product having the highest emission potential (in pounds of VOC per ton of baked product) for the bakery oven.

(c) The value of EFVOC, expressed in pounds of VOC per ton of baked product (rounded off to two decimal places), is determined as follows:

EFVOC = 0.95Yi + 0.195ti - 0.51S - 0.86ts + 1.90

where:

Yi = initial baker's per cent of yeast to the nearest tenth of a per cent.

ti = total yeast action time in hours to the nearest tenth of an hour.

S = final (spike) baker's per cent of yeast to the nearest tenth of a per cent.

ts = spiking time in hours to the nearest tenth of an hour.

(2) The owner or operator shall presume for purposes of calculating the uncontrolled potential to emit that both of the following conditions apply:

(a) Each facility production line and associated bakery oven are operating eight thousand seven hundred sixty hours per year at maximum capacity.

(b) Each facility production line is producing the product with the highest level of VOC emissions of those products that it may produce.

(3) A VOC emission factor based on emission testing can be used to calculate the facility's total uncontrolled potential to emit for VOC in tons per year. In the event emission testing is conducted, the emission testing results would be used instead of the VOC emission factor equation in paragraph (C)(1)(c) of this rule. Such emission testing shall be based on the test methods and procedures specified under paragraph (F) of this rule.

(4) The presumptions of paragraph (C)(2) of this rule would not apply where restrictions on operating hours or annual production rate are specified for the commercial bakery oven facility within a federally enforceable permit-to-install and operate or a Title V permit that is issued pursuant to Chapter 3745-31 or Chapter 3745-77, respectively, of the Administrative Code as follows:

(a) For bakery ovens that are located within a county specified in paragraph (A)(1)(a)(i) of this rule and for which installation commenced before May 27, 2005, such restrictions shall be in effect no later than May 27, 2006.

(b) For bakery ovens that are located within a county specified in paragraph (A)(1)(a)(i) of this rule and for which installation commenced on or after May 27, 2005, such restrictions shall be in effect upon initial startup of the bakery oven.

(c) For bakery ovens that are located within a county specified in paragraph (A)(2)(a)(i) of this rule and for which installation commenced before August 25, 2008, such restrictions shall be in effect no later than August 25, 2009.

(d) For bakery ovens that are located within a county specified in paragraph (A)(2)(a)(i) of this rule and for which installation commenced on or after August 25, 2008, such restrictions shall be in effect upon initial startup of the bakery oven.

(D) VOC emission control requirements.

(1) Except where exempted under paragraph (D)(2) of this rule, any owner or operator of a commercial bakery oven facility that is subject to this rule shall install and operate a VOC emission control system that reduces the VOC emissions from each bakery oven by at least ninety-five per cent by weight (i.e., an overall control efficiency of at least ninety-five per cent by weight).

(2) Exempted from paragraph (D)(1) of this rule is any uncontrolled bakery oven with annual VOC emissions of less than 25.0 tons and average daily VOC emissions of less than one hundred ninety-two pounds. Average daily VOC emissions means the VOC emissions from a bakery oven in a calendar year (annual VOC emissions) divided by the number of days the bakery oven was employed for production during the calendar year.

(E) Compliance dates.

(1) Except where otherwise specified within this rule, any owner or operator of a commercial bakery oven facility that is subject to this rule shall comply with this rule by no later than the following dates:

(a) The process unit is located in Ashtabula, Butler, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Hamilton, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, Summit, or Warren county.

(b) The process unit produces a SOCMI chemical.

(2) Excluded from this rule are the following:

(a) Any reactor or distillation unit that is a batch operation.

(b) Any reactor or distillation unit that is regulated by paragraph (CC) or (EE) of rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code.

(c) Any reactor or distillation unit included within an "early reduction program," as specified in 40 CFR part 63, and published in 57 Federal Register 61970 (December 29, 1992), evidenced by a timely enforceable commitment approved by USEPA.

(d) Any reactor regulated by subpart III or subpart RRR of 40 CFR part 60.

(e) Any distillation unit regulated by subpart NNN of 40 CFR part 60.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (A)(2) of this rule, a reactor or distillation unit shall be considered regulated by a paragraph, rule or subpart if the reactor or distillation unit is subject to the limits of that paragraph, rule, or subpart. A reactor or distillation unit is not considered regulated by a paragraph, rule, or subpart if the reactor or distillation unit is not subject to the limits of that paragraph, rule, or subpart. For example, if the reactor or distillation unit is covered by an exemption in the paragraph, rule, or subpart, or the applicability criteria of the paragraph or subpart are not met, then the source is not subject to that paragraph, rule, or subpart.

(B) Definitions.

The definitions applicable to this rule are contained in paragraphs (B) and (V) of rule 3745-21-01 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Overall requirements for reactors and distillation units.

(1) Except where exempted under paragraph (C)(2) of this rule, the owner or operator of a reactor or distillation unit subject to this rule shall comply with paragraphs (D) to (L) of this rule.

(2) Exempted from paragraph (C)(1) of this rule is any reactor or distillation unit in a process unit with a total design capacity for all chemicals produced within that unit of less than one thousand one hundred tons per year. However, such reactor or distillation unit remains subject to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained in paragraphs (J)(1)(f) and (L)(1) of this rule.

(D) Determination of group status and halogen status for process vents of reactors and distillation units.

(1) (Group status) The owner or operator of a reactor or distillation unit shall determine the group status (i.e., group 1, group 2A, or group 2B) for each process vent based on flow rate, VOC concentration, and TRE index value in accordance with paragraphs (D)(3) to (D)(5) of this rule and the procedures contained in paragraph (E) of this rule. Group 1 process vents require control for VOC, and group 2A and group 2B process vents do not. Group 1 process vents require monitoring of control devices, except for boilers or process heaters specified under paragraphs (F)(1)(b) and (F)(1)(c) of this rule, and require monitoring of bypass lines. Group 2A process vents require monitoring of the associated recovery systems, and group 2B process vents do not require any monitoring.

(2) (Halogen status) The owner or operator of a group 1 process vent which is controlled (or to be controlled) by a combustion device shall determine the halogen status in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (E)(7) of this rule. Group 1 process vents that are halogenated process vents being discharged to a combustion device require halogen reduction control (either a pre-combustion or post-combustion).

(3) (Group 1) A process vent shall be group 1 if it meets at least one of the following specifications:

(a) The owner or operator designates the process vent as group 1.

(b) At representative operating conditions expected to yield the lowest TRE index value for the process vent, the TRE index value is less than or equal to 1.0, the flow rate is equal to or greater than 0.30 scfm, and the VOC concentration is equal to or greater than five hundred ppmv.

(4) (Group 2A) A process vent shall be group 2A if it is from a recovery system and if, at representative operating conditions expected to yield the lowest TRE index value for the process vent, the TRE index value is greater than 1.0 and less than or equal to 4.0, the flow rate is equal to or greater than 0.30 scfm, and the VOC concentration is equal to or greater than five hundred ppmv.

(5) (Group 2B) A process vent shall be group 2B if it meets any one of the following specifications:

(a) The process vent has a flow rate less than 0.30 scfm.

(b) The process vent has a VOC concentration less than five hundred ppmv.

(c) The process vent is not from a recovery system and, at representative operating conditions expected to yield the lowest TRE index value for the process vent, the TRE index value is greater than 1.0.

(d) The process vent is from a recovery system and, at representative operating conditions expected to yield the lowest TRE index value for the process vent, the TRE index value is greater than 4.0.

(6) Process changes for group 2A and group 2B process vents.

Whenever process changes are made that could reasonably be expected to change a group 2A or group 2B process vent to a group 1 process vent, the owner or operator shall redetermine the flow rate, VOC concentration, or TRE index value, according to paragraph (D)(6)(a), (D)(6)(b), or (D)(6)(c) of this rule as specified for each process vent as necessary to determine whether the process vent is group 1, group 2A, or group 2B. The owner or operator shall perform the group status determination as soon as practical after the process change and within sixty days after the process change. Examples of process changes include, but are not limited to, changes in production capacity, production rate, feedstock type, or catalyst type, or whenever there is replacement, removal, or addition of recovery equipment. For purposes of paragraph (D)(6) of this rule, process changes do not include process upsets, unintentional, temporary process changes, and changes that are within the range on which the original TRE index value calculation was based.

(a) (Group 2B process vent based on flow rate) The flow rate shall be redetermined by using the measurement procedure in paragraph (E)(9) of this rule or by using an engineering assessment of the effects of the change.

(b) (Group 2B process based on VOC concentration) The VOC concentration shall be redetermined by using the measurement procedure in paragraph (E)(10) of this rule or by using an engineering assessment of the effects of the change.

(c) (Group 2B process vent based on TRE index value or group 2A process vent) The TRE index value shall be redetermined (recalculated) based on measurements of flow rate, net heating value, VOC emission rate, and halogen status as specified in paragraphs (E)(9), (E)(11), (E)(12), and (E)(13) of this rule, or based on an engineering assessment of the effects of the change.

(E) Procedures for process vent determinations.

(1) (General) The provisions under paragraph (E) of this rule provide procedures for the determination of process vent parameters that are used to determine the group status and halogen status for a process vent.

(2) Location within a process vent for determination of group status and halogen status and for sampling.

(a) For the purpose of determining group status of a process vent based on VOC concentration, flow rate, or TRE index value, the location shall be representative of the process vent stream after the last recovery device (if any recovery devices are present) but prior to the inlet of any control device that is present, and prior to release to the atmosphere. The process vent parameters for TRE index value are flow rate, net heating value, VOC emission rate, and halogen status.

(b) The location of the sampling site for measurement of process vent parameters (flow rate, VOC concentration, VOC emission rate, net heating value, and mass emission rate for halogen atoms) shall be selected in accordance with paragraph (E)(2)(a) of this rule and paragraph (C)(3)(f) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative Code. No traverse site selection method is needed for process vents smaller than four inches (0.10 meter) in nominal inside diameter.

(3) The flow rate of a process vent shall be determined by engineering assessment or by the measurement procedure of paragraph (E)(9) of this rule.

(4) The VOC concentration of a process vent shall be determined by engineering assessment or by the measurement procedure of paragraph (E)(10) of this rule.

(5) The net heating value of a process vent shall be determined by engineering assessment or by the measurement procedure of paragraph (E)(11) of this rule.

(6) The VOC and TOC emission rate of a process vent shall be determined by engineering assessment or by the measurement procedure of paragraph (E)(12) of this rule.

(7) The halogen status of a process vent shall be determined by process knowledge that no halogen or hydrogen halides are present in the process vent, by engineering assessment, or by the measurement procedure of paragraph (E)(13) of this rule. If the mass emission rate of halogen atoms for a process vent is equal to or greater than 0.99 pound per hour, the process vent shall be classified as halogenated.

(8) Procedure for TRE index value.

The TRE index value of the process vent shall be determined as follows:

(a) TRE index value for a process vent shall be calculated by the following equation:

TRE = [a + b(Q) + c(H) + d(ETOC)] / EVOC

where:

TRE = TRE index value.

Q = Process vent flow rate, standard cubic meters per minute, at a standard temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, as determined under paragraph (E)(3) of this rule by engineering assessment or measurement procedure.

H = Process vent net heating value, megajoules per standard cubic meter, as determined under paragraph (E)(5) of this rule by engineering assessment or measurement procedure.

EVOC = Process vent emission rate of VOC, kilograms per hour, as determined under paragraph (E)(6) of this rule by engineering assessment or measurement procedure.

ETOC = Process vent emission rate of TOC, kilograms per hour, as determined under paragraph (E)(6) of this rule by engineering assessment or measurement procedure.

a, b, c, and d = coefficients presented in table A of this rule.

(ii) All non-CTG sources.

(iii) Unregulated emissions from CTG sources except sources regulated under 40 CFR part 60, subparts BBB, III, NNN, and RRR and sources regulated under 40 CFR part 63, subpart T.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (A)(1) of this rule, a source shall be considered regulated by a paragraph, rule or subpart if the source is subject to the limits of that paragraph, rule, or subpart. A source is not considered regulated by a paragraph, rule, or subpart if the source is not subject to the limits of that paragraph, rule, or subpart. For example, if the source is covered by an exemption in the paragraph, rule, or subpart, or the applicability criteria of the paragraph or subpart are not met, then the source is not subject to that paragraph, rule, or subpart. A source is also not considered regulated if there is no rule contained in this chapter regulating the source category.

(3) Once a facility has met the applicability requirements of paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) of this rule on or after May 27, 2005, or the applicability requirements of paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (A)(1)(d) of this rule on or after August 25, 2008, the facility is always subject to paragraph (C) of this rule, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (A)(4) and (A)(5) of this rule.

(4) In the event a facility meets the applicability requirements under paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) of this rule, but reduces the facility's potential to emit for volatile organic compounds by means of federally enforceable operational restrictions (e.g., production, hours of operation, or capacity utilization) to less than one hundred tons per year by no later than May 27, 2006, and documents that the actual VOC emissions from the above combined sources have never exceeded one hundred tons per year after the baseline year (1990) of the state implementation plan for ozone, the facility is not subject to paragraph (C) of this rule.

(5) In the event a facility meets the applicability requirements under paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (A)(1)(d) of this rule, but reduces the facility's potential to emit for VOCs by means of federally enforceable operational restriction (e.g., production, hours of operation, or capacity utilization) to less than one hundred tons per year by no later than August 25, 2009, and documents that the actual VOC emissions from the above combined sources have never exceeded one hundred tons per year after the baseline year (2002) of the state implementation plan for ozone, the facility is not subject to paragraph (C) of this rule.

(a) Any unit operation with uncontrolled total annual mass emissions of less than or equal to five hundred pounds per year of VOC.

Such unit operations are also excluded from the calculation of the total annual mass emissions for a batch process train. If the uncontrolled total annual mass emissions from such exempt unit operation exceed five hundred pounds per year of VOC in any subsequent year, the owner or operator shall calculate applicability in accordance with paragraph (C)(4) of this rule for both the individual unit operation and the batch process train containing the unit operation.

(b) Any batch process train containing process vents that have, in the aggregate, uncontrolled total annual mass emissions, as determined in accordance with paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, of less than thirty thousand pounds per year of VOC for all products manufactured in such batch process train.

(4) The applicability equations in paragraph (C)(5) of this rule, which require the calculation of uncontrolled total annual mass emissions and flow rate value, shall be used to determine whether a unit operation or a batch process train is subject to the control requirements set forth in paragraph (D) of this rule. The applicability equation shall be applied to the following:

(a) Any unit operation with uncontrolled total annual mass emissions that exceed five hundred pounds per year and with a VOC concentration greater than five hundred ppmv. In this individual determination, no applicability analysis shall be performed for any unit operation with a VOC concentration of less than or equal to five hundred ppmv.

(b) Any batch process train containing process vents which, in the aggregate, have uncontrolled total annual mass emissions of thirty thousand pounds per year or more of VOC from all products manufactured in the batch process train.

Gas moving equipment shall be considered oversized if the equipment exceeds the maximum requirements of the exhaust flow rate by more than thirty per cent.

(5) For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with paragraph (D) of this rule, the batch process train or unit operation shall be run at representative operating conditions and flow rates during any compliance test.

(6) The following methods in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the reduction efficiency requirement set forth in paragraph (D) of this rule:

(a) USEPA method 1 or 1A, as appropriate, for selection of the sampling sites if the flow measuring device is not a rotameter. The control device inlet sampling site for determination of vent stream VOC composition reduction efficiency shall be prior to the control device and after the control device.

(b) USEPA method 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, for determination of gas stream volumetric flow rate flow measurements, which shall be taken continuously. No traverse is necessary when the flow measuring device is an ultrasonic probe.

(c) USEPA method 25A or USEPA method 18, if applicable, to determine the concentration of VOC in the control device inlet and outlet.

(i) The sampling time for each run shall be as follows:

(a) For batch cycles less than eight hours in length, readings shall be taken continuously over the entire length of the batch cycle with a maximum of fifteen-minute intervals between measurements if using USEPA method 25A. If using USEPA method 18, readings shall be taken continuously with a maximum of fifteen-minute intervals between measurements throughout the batch cycle unless it becomes necessary to change the impinger train, in which case a thirty-minute interval shall not be exceeded.

(b) For batch cycles of eight hours and greater in length, the owner of operator may either test in accordance with the test procedures defined in paragraph (F)(6)(c)(i)(a) of this rule or the owner or operator may elect to perform tests, pursuant to either USEPA method 25A or USEPA method 18, only during those portions of each emission event which define the emission profile of each emission event occurring within the batch cycle. For each emission event of less than four hours in duration, the owner or operator shall test continuously over the entire emission event as set forth in paragraph (F)(6)(c)(i)(a) of this rule. For each emission event of greater than four hours in duration, the owner or operator shall elect either to perform a minimum of three one hour test runs during the emission event or shall test continuously over the entire emission event within each unit operation in the batch process train. To demonstrate that the portion of the emission event to be tested defines the emission profile for the emission event, the owner or operator electing to rely on this option shall develop an emission profile for the entire emission event. Such emission profile shall be based upon either process knowledge or test data collected. Examples of information that could constitute process knowledge include, but are not limited to, calculations based on material balances and process stoichiometry. Previous test results may be used provided such results are still relevant to the current process vent stream conditions.

(ii) The mass emission rate from the process vent or inlet to the control device shall be determined by combining concentration and flow rate measurements taken simultaneously at sampling sites selected in accordance with paragraph (F)(6)(a) of this rule throughout the batch cycle.

(iii) The mass emission rate from the control device outlet shall be obtained by combining concentration and flow rate measurements taken simultaneously at sampling sites selected in accordance with paragraph (F)(6)(a) of this rule throughout the batch cycle.

(iv) The efficiency of the control device shall be determined by integrating the mass emission rates obtained in paragraphs (F)(6)(c)(ii) and (F)(6)(c)(iii) of this rule, over the time of the batch cycle and dividing the difference in inlet and outlet mass flow totals by the inlet mass flow total.

(7) The owner or operator of a batch process train or unit operation may propose an alternative test method or procedures to demonstrate compliance with paragraph (D) of this rule. Such method or procedures shall be approved by the director and USEPA in writing and shall be included as federally enforceable permit conditions.

(8) In the absence of a request by the director to conduct compliance testing in accordance with this rule, the owner or operator may demonstrate compliance by the use of engineering estimates or process stoichiometry.
