For... You must...
All cleaning operations Not use cleaning solvents that contain HAP,except
that styrene may be used as a cleaner in closed
systems,and organic HAP containing cleaners may
be used to clean cured resin from application
equipment. Application equipment includes any
equipment that directly contacts resin.
All HAP-containing materials storage operations Keep containers that store HAP-containing
materials closed or covered except during the
addition or removal of materials. Bulk HAP-
containing materials storage tanks may be vented
I, as necessary for safety.
All mixing operations Use mixer covers with no visible gaps present in
the mixing covers,except that gaps of up to one
inch are permissible around the mixer shafts and
any required instrumentation.
Keep the mixer covers closed while actual mixing
is occurring except when adding materials or
changing covers to the mixing vessels.
M_onitoringl Recordkeeping
c. Although the method from 40 CFR 63.5810(b) is detailed below, the Permittee, as described in 40 CFR
63.5810,may change compliance methods to any method specified in 40 CFR 63.5810. The Permittee shall
demonstrate that, on average, you meet the individual organic HAP emission limits for each unique
combination of operation type and resin application method or gel coat type shown above by:
i. grouping the process streams by operation type and resin application method or gel coat type listed above
and then calculate a weighted average emission factor based on the amounts of each individual resin or
gel coat used for the last 12 months. To do this, sum the product of each individual organic HAP
emission factor calculated in 63.5 810(a)(1)and the amount of neat resin plus and neat gel coat plus usage
that corresponds to the individual factors and divide the numerator by the total amount of neat resin plus
and neat gel coat plus used in that operation type as shown in the following equation:

ii. comparing each organic HAP emission factor calculated in Section 2.1 A.2.c.i above with its
corresponding organic HAP emission limit above. If all emission factors are equal to or less than their
corresponding emission limits,then the Permittee is in compliance[63.5810(b)].
d. The results of the monitoring shall be maintained in a logbook(written or electronic format)on-site and made
available to an authorized representative upon request. The logbook shall record the following:
i. all data,assumptions,and calculations used to determine organic HAP emission factors including records
of resin and gel coat use,organic HAP content,and operation where the resin is used. Resin use records
may be based on purchase records if the Permittee can reasonably estimate how the resin is applied. The
organic HAP content records may be based on MSDS or on resin specifications supplied by the resin
supplier[63.5895(c)];and
ii. certified statement that the Permittee is in compliance with the work practice requirements listed above.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .1111 if these records are not
maintained.
Reporting
e. The Permittee shall submit a summary report of the monitoring and recordkeeping requirements postmarked
on or before January 30 of each calendar year for the preceding six-month period between July and December

the report shall contain:
i. a statement that there were no deviations during the reporting period if there were no deviations from
any emission limitation and that there were no deviations from the requirements for work practice
standards;and

perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC 02D.2600 and follow the procedures outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the
Director prior to air pollution testing.Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the Director
prior to air pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-approval prior
to resting if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable standard
shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at his option
observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates during
the period of air testing.The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or process being

sample collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may request
an extension to submit the final test report.The Director shall approve an extension request if he finds that
the extension request is a result of actions heyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the
validity of the compliance test.The Director may:
i. Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator of
the source being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified method is
inappropriate for the source being tested.
ii. Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative method
is necessary to secure more reliable test data.
iii. Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test
method is specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance of
permitted emission sources or pollutants.
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source
subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any test
data submitted relating to that source. Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the
appropriate testing procedures described in Section 02D.2600 has precedence over all other tests.
