adhesive coating application line (ID No. ES-1), the Permittee shall comply with all
applicable provisions, including the notification, testing, reporting, recordkeeping, and
monitoring requirements contained in Environmental Management Commission Standard
15A NCAC 02D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)" as promulgated in 40
CFR Part 60 Subpart RR, "Standards of Performance for Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label
Surface Coating Operations," including Subpart A, "General Provisions."
a. Emission Limits - If the amount of VOC input exceeds 45 Mg (50 tons)per 12 month
period, the coating line shall become subject to the emission limits in 40 CFR 60.442(a),
and on and after the date on which the performance test required by 40 CFR 60.8 has
been completed, the Permittee shall:
i. cause the discharge into the atmosphere from an affected facility to not be more
than 0.20 kg VOC/kg of coating solids applied as calculated on a weighted
average basis for one calendar month; or
ii. demonstrate for each affected facility a 90 percent overall VOC emission
reduction as calculated over a calendar month; or
iii. demonstrate the percent overall VOC emission reduction specified in 40 CFR
60.443(b) as calculated over a calendar month.
b. Compliance Requirements - To determine compliance with 40 CFR 60.442, the Permittee
shall calculate a weighted average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coating solids
applied for a one calendar month period according to the following procedures:
i. Determine the weight fraction of organics and the weight fraction of solids of each
coating applied by using Reference Method 24 or by the coating manufacturer's
formulations data, and compute the weighted average by the equation found in 40
CFR 60.443(a)(2).
For each affected facility where the calculated weighted average mass (kg) of
VOC per mass (kg) of coating solids applied each calendar month(G) is less than
or equal to 0.20 kg VOC per kg of coating solids applied, the affected facility is in
compliance with 40 CFR 60.442(a)(1). If G is greater than 0.20 kg VOC per kg
of coating solids applied, compliance must be documented with 40 CFR
60.442(a)(2).
Permit No. 10649R00
Page 4
ii. To determine compliance with 40 CFR 60.442 through the use of a solvent
destruction device, facility is required to do the following:
1. Calculate the required overall VOC emission reduction(Rq) according to
the equation found in 40 CFR 60.443(b). If Rq less than or equal to 90
percent, then the required overall VOC emission reduction is Rq. If Rq is
greater than 90 percent, then the required overall VOC emission reduction
is 90 percent.
2. Determine calendar monthly compliance by comparing the Rq value as
specified above to the overall VOC emission reduction demonstrated in
the most recent performance test that complied with 40 CFR 60.442(a)(2).
If the Rq value is less than or equal to the overall VOC reduction of the
most recent performance test, the affected facility is in compliance with 40
CFR 60.442(a)(2).
3. Continuously record the destruction device combustion temperature during
coating operations for thermal incineration destructions devices. For
Permittee shall record all 3-hour periods (during actual coating operations)
during which the average temperature of the device is more than 28°C
(50°F)below the average temperature of the device during the most recent
performance test complying with 40 CFR 60.442(a)(2).
iii. After the initial performance test required for all affected facilities under 40 CFR
60.8, compliance with VOC emission limitation and percentage reduction
requirements under 40 CFR 60.442 is based on the average emission reduction for
one calendar month. A separate compliance check 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.
Emissions from startups and shutdowns are to be included when determining if
the standard specified at 40 CFR 60.442(a)(2) is being attained.
c. Monitoring and Recordkeoing
i. The permittee shall maintain a calendar month record of all coatings applied as
well as calculations to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits in 40
CFR 60.442.
ii. The Permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring device
which continuously indicates and records the temperature of the regenerative
thermal oxidizer's (ID No. CD-1) exhaust gases. The monitoring device shall have
an accuracy of the greater of±0.75 percent of the temperature being measured
expressed in degrees Celsius or f2.5 'C.
