Testing [15A NCAC 2D .2601]
b. If emissions testing is required,the testing shall be performed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D
.2601 and General Condition JJ. If the results of this test are above the limits given in Section 2.1
A.La above,the Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0521.

a. The Permittee shall comply with all applicable provisions,including the emissn standards,
notification,testing,monitoring,recordkeeping, and reporting requirements contained in
Environmental Management Commission Standards 15A NCAC 2D .0524"New Source
Performance Standards(NSPS)"as promulgated in 40 CFR 60, SubpareRR, including Subpart A
"General Provisions."
Emission Standards [40 CFR 60.442]
b. On or after the date on which the performance test required by Chas:ben completed,the owner
or operator shall:
i. cause the discharge into the atmosphere from an cte facility nor more than 0.20 kg
VOC/kg of coating solids applied as calculate i a ghte�average basis for one calendar
month; or ,
ii. demonstrate for each affected facility a 90 percent overal VOC emission reduction as
calculated over a calendar month; or
iii. demonstrate for each affected facility the percent overall VOC emission reduction specified in
60.443(b) as calculated over a calenda onth-..,,
Compliance [40 CFR 60.443]
c. To determine compliance with 60.44 , e ner or operator of the affected facility shall calculate
a weighted average of the mass of solve sed per mass of coating solids applied for one calendar
month period according to the folloAK procedures:
i. determine the weight fraction oiPorganics and the weight fraction of solids of each coating
applied by using Reference Method 24 or by the coating manufacturer's formulation data.
ii. compute the weighted average by the equation found in 60.443(a)(2).
iii. for each affected facility where the value of G is less than or equal to 0.20 kg VOC/kg of
coating solids applied,the affected facility is in compliance with 60.442(a)(1).a iv. ter the initial performance test required for all affected facilities under 60.8, compliance with
VOC emission limitation and percentage reduction requirements under 60.442 is based on
e�average emission reduction for one calendar month. A separate compliance test is
completed at the end of each calendar month after the initial performance test, and a new
calendar month's average VOC emission reduction is calculated to show compliance with the
standard.
tartups and shutdowns are normal operation for this source category. Emissions from these
operations are to be included when determining if the standard specified in 60.442(a)(2)is
being attained.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0524,if the procedures for
calculating weighted average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coating solids applied for one
calendar month period in Section 2.1 A.2.c.i through v above are not followed or any monthly
calculations for weighted average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coatings applied indicate
the exceedance of emission limit of 0.20 kg VOC/kg of coating solids applied.

Performance Tests [40 CFR 60.444]
d. The performance test for affected facilities complying with 60.442 without the use of add-on
controls shall be identical to the procedures specified in 60.443(a). If the results of this test are
above the limit given in Section 2.1 A.2.b above,the Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance
with 15A NCAC 2D .0524.
Monitoring/Recordkeeping [40 CFR 60.445]
e. i. The owner or operator of an affected facility subject to this Subpart shall maintain a calendar
month record of all coatings used and the results of the reference test method specif d in
60.446(a) or the manufacturer's formulation data used for determining the VOC c ent of
those coatings.

Section 2.1 A.2.e.i and ii above are not maintained.
c`
Test Methods and Procedures [40 CFR 60.4461 Jkl
f. The VOC content per unit of coating solids applied and compliance with 60.442(a)(1) shall be
determined by either Reference Method 24 and the equations specified in 60.443 or by
manufacturer's formulation data. In the event of any inc istency been a Method 24 test and
manufacturer's formulation data,the Method 24 test govern. The Administrator may require
an owner or operator to perform Method 24 test d h monVs as he deems appropriate. For
Reference Method 24,the coating sample must a one li er sample taken into a one liter container
