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)
shall be determined using the following procedure:
IPA—emitted= [(VIPA_in)x(6.58 lb IPA/Gallon IPA))] - [(V_discharged)x(Wt° 00)x
(density)]
Where: IPA_emitted=monthly mass of IPA emitted to the atmosphere, in p d

density=density of the effluent,lb/gallon, (=8.014 lb/gallo fora I ater
solution by weight),
V_discharged=total monthly volume,in gallons, of effluent wat mixture)
discharged from the surge tank to the sewer. V_discharged shall be etermined using a
flow meter/totalizer. The flow meter/totalizer shall be installed and operational by
October 31,2003. For the purposes of com uting V_discharged prior to the installation
of the flow meter/totalizer,V_dischargell b�etermined using a daily discharge
volume of 200 gallons per day of IPA w4 er mixture. Ver the flow meter/totalizer
becomes operational,the company shall determine and record the total volume
discharged from the surge tank to the sewer ea h day during the month. The flow
meter/totalizer shall be calibrated yearly as per he manufacturer's recommended
procedures unless a more frequent calibratio period is specified by the manufacturer. If
the total volume discha ed during a day cannot be determined due to failure of the flow
meter/totalizer or of reasons, then the volume for that day shall be the lesser of. (1)
the lowest daily vYpercnt
arged during the prior three calendar months, or(2)200

Wt%_IPA=weighf IPA in the effluent discharged to the sewer. The weight

shall collect equal volume aliquots from the surge tank prior to discharging the contents
of tht tank to the sever. Each of these aliquots shall be composited to create a monthly
composite, and t�IPA concentration of the monthly composite determined on a percent
by weight basis fising 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
1000 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 2D .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 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 2D .0530 if the VOC emissions exceed this limit.
