In order to avoid applicability of this regulation, the above emission sources shall discharge into the atmosphere less than 250 tons of VOCs per consecutive 12-month period. Monitorina/Recordkeenin_ [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(f)] b. Calculation of facility-wide monthly VOC emissions shall be made at the end of each month. Except for the isopropyl alcohol(IPA)emissions from the cathode paste manufacturing process(ID No.ES-01), VOC emissions shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of each type of VOC-containing material consumed during the month by the VOC content of the material. The IPA emissions from the cathode paste manufacturing operation(ID No.ES-01)sball be determined using the following procedure: IPA emitted= [(VIPA in)x(6,58 lb IPA/Gallon IPA))] - [(V_discharged)x(Wt°/o_IPAJ100)x(density)] Where: IPA_emitted=monthly mass of IPA emitted to the atmosphere,in pounds, VIPA_in=monthly volume,in gallons,of IPA used in the process, density=density of the effluent,lb/gallon,(=8.014 lb/gallon for a 25%IPA/water solution by weight), V_discharged=total monthly volume,in gallons, of effluent(IPA water mixture)discharged from the surge tank to the sewer. V_discharged shall be determined using a flow meter/totalizer. The flow meter/totalizer shall be installed and operational by October 31,2003. For the purposes of computing V_discharged prior to the installation of the flow meter/totalizer,V_discharged shall be determined using a daily discharge volume of 200 gallons per day of IPA water mixture. After the flow meter/totalizer becomes operational,the company shall determine and record the total volume discharged from the surge tank to the sewer each day during the month. The flow meter/totalizer shall be calibrated yearly as per the manufacturer's recommended procedures unless a more frequent calibration period is specified by the manufacturer. If the total volume discharged during a day cannot be determined due to failure of the flow meter/totalizer or other reasons, then the volume for that day shall be the lesser of (1)the lowest daily volume discharged during the prior three calendar months, or(2)200 gallons. Wt%_IPA=weight percent of IPA in the effluent discharged to the sewer. The weight percent shall be the average percent by weight for the calendar month. The company shall collect equal volume aliquots from the surge tank prior to discharging the contents of the tank to the sewer. Each of these aliquots shall be composited to create a monthly composite,and the IPA concentration of the monthly composite determined on a percent by weight basis using SW-846- 8015 or an equivalent method upon approval by the DAQ, and the density shall be determined based on the specific gravity of the mixture as determined by Method 2710-F (Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water)or its equivalent. The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0530 if the amounts of VOC containing materials or the VOC emissions are not monitored and recorded. c. Calculations and the total amount of VOC emissions shall be recorded monthly in a logbook(written or electronic format). The daily volume of the IPA/water effluent discharged from the surge tank shall be recorded. The results of all analyses of the monthly composite effluent samples for the weight percent IPA and the density shall also be recorded. In addition, the Permittee must make available to officials of Permit 04595T t6 Page 7 the DAQ,upon request,copies of the monthly emissions log. The Permittee must keep each entry in the monthly emissions log and all required records on file for a minimum of three years. The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0530 if the VOC emissions exceed this limit. Reporting [15A NCAC 02Q.0508(f)] d. The Permittee shall submit a summary report of monitoring and recordkeeping activities within 30 days after each calendar year quarter,due and postmarked an or before January 30 of each calendar year for the preceding three-month period between October and December,April 30 of each calendar year for the preceding three-month period between January and March,July 30 of each calendar year for the preceding three-month period between April and June,and October 30 for the calendar year for the preceding three-month period between July and September. The report shall contain the following; i. The monthly VOC emissions for the previous 14 months. The emissions shall be calculated for each of the 12-month periods over the previous 14 months. The report shall also contain the weight percent IPA,the density of the IPA/water mixture,the volume of IPA/water mixture discharged to the sewer,and copies of all analyses during the reporting period for the weight percent IPA and density of the IPA/water mixture discharged to the sewer. 2.3 Other Applicable Requirements A. One packed-bed caustic wet scrubber(ID No.CD-03)installed on the sulfur dioxide storage tank(ID No.S02TANl) 1. 15A NCAC 02Q .0508(h): PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASES—SECTION 112(r)OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT a.
