Section 326IAC8-1-2. Compliance methods

   (a) The emission limitations specified in this article shall be achieved through one (1) or any combination of the following:

(1) Carbon adsorption.

(2) Thermal or catalytic incineration. The owner or operator of a source using a natural gas afterburner incineration method may petition the commissioner for permission to not operate the natural gas afterburner during the months of November, December, January, February, and March. The commissioner may allow such exemption if the owner or operator adequately demonstrates that the operation of the natural gas afterburner is not required for control of toxic substances or odor.

(3) Higher solids (low solvent) coatings, including powder, ultraviolet, and electron beam coatings.

(4) Waterborne coatings.

(5) Equivalent emission limitations based on an actual measured transfer efficiency greater than the specified baseline transfer efficiency as follows:

(A) This subdivision is applicable only to the following:

(i) 326 IAC 8-2-2(b)(2), automobiles and light duty truck assembly operations.

(ii) 326 IAC 8-2-6, metal furniture coating operations.

(iii) 326 IAC 8-2-7, large appliance coating operations.

(iv) 326 IAC 8-2-9, miscellaneous metal coating operations.

(B) For metal furniture coating operations, large appliance coating operations, or miscellaneous metal coating operations, this subdivision and the equivalent emission limits it contains may not be used to determine compliance unless a test method for determining actual measured transfer efficiency has been specified by U.S. EPA or submitted to U.S. EPA and approved as a SIP revision.

(C) The equivalent emission limitations in units of kilograms of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per liter solids deposited (pounds of VOC per gallon solids deposited), baseline transfer efficiencies, and baseline volume percent solids content of the coating are specified below:

Category		Equivalent Emission Limit	Baseline Transfer Efficiency	Baseline Volume Percent Solids
Automobiles and light duty trucks assembly (topcoat)		1.83 (15.1)	30	62.0
Metal furniture		1.01 (8.4)	60	59.2
Large appliances		0.91 (7.4)	60	62.0
Miscellaneous metal coating category
	Clear coatings	2.08 (17.3)	60	41.6
	Air dried up to 90°C	1.34 (11.2)	60	52.4
	Extreme performance coatings	1.34 (11.2)	60	52.4
	All other coatings and coating systems	1.01 (8.4)	60	59.2

(D) Compliance with an equivalent emission limit shall be determined as follows:

(i) For automobile and light duty topcoating operations and combined primer-surfacer and topcoat operations, use procedures found in "Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Primer-Surfacer and Topcoat Operations"; EPA-453/R-08-002; September 2008*.

(ii) For metal furniture coating operations, large appliance coating operations, or miscellaneous metal coating operations use the following equation:

Where:	E	=	Actual emissions in pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids deposited.
	L	=	Actual VOC content in pounds of VOC per gallon of coating, as applied, excluding water and nonphotochemically reactive hydrocarbons.
	D	=	Actual density of the VOC in the coating in pounds per gallon of VOC.
	T	=	Actual measured transfer efficiency.

(6) The use of nonphotochemically reactive hydrocarbons as defined in 326 IAC 1-2-48.

(7) A daily volume-weighted average of all coatings applied in a coating line or printing line subject to the requirements in 326 IAC 8-2 or 326 IAC 8-5-5. Records of daily usage of gallons solids coating and VOC content of each coating, ink, and solvent shall be maintained and made available upon request. Also, records of daily emissions in pounds VOC shall be maintained and made available upon request. If daily records sufficient to determine an accurate daily weighted average are not available, each coating, ink, and solvent shall meet the requirements of the applicable section.

(8) The use of an emission control device specifically allowed under provisions of any rule in this article to meet the emission limitations specified in the rule.

(9) This subdivision is applicable only to dip coating or flow coating operations at miscellaneous metal coating operations subject to 326 IAC 8-2-9 as follows:

(A) For dip coating or flow coating operations only. The equivalent emission limit in kilograms VOC/liter (lb/gallon) of coating solids is as follows:

Miscellaneous metal coating category	Limit in kilograms VOC/liter (lb/gallon) of coating less water	Equivalent emission limit in kilograms VOC/liter (lb/gallon) of coating solids
Clear coatings	0.52 (4.3)	1.22 (10.2)
Air dried or forced warm air dried at temperatures up to ninety (90) degrees Celsius (one hundred ninety-four (194) degrees Fahrenheit)	0.42 (3.5)	0.80 (6.7)
Extreme performance coatings	0.42 (3.5)	0.80 (6.7)
All other coatings and coating application systems	0.36 (3.0)	0.61 (5.1)

(B) Compliance with the equivalent emission limit shall be determined by doing the following:

(i) Calculate the VOC content of a dip coating or flow coating, expressed in units of weight of VOC per volume of coating solids, on a thirty (30) day rolling average basis using the following equation:

VOC_A = (∑(W_oi × D_ci × Q_i) + ∑ (W_oJ × D_dJ × Q_J))/(∑(V_ni × Q_i))

Where:	VOCA	=	The as-applied, VOC content in pound VOC per gallon (lb VOC/gal) of coating solids for a dip coating or flow coating, calculated on a thirty (30) day rolling average basis.
	Woi	=	Percent VOC by weight of each as supplied coating (i) added to the dip coating or flow coating process, expressed as a decimal fraction (that is 55% = 0.55).
	Dci	=	Density of each as supplied coating (i) added to the dip coating or flow coating process, in pounds per gallon.
	Qi	=	Quantity of each as supplied coating (i) added to the dip coating or flow coating process, in gallons.
