monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements contained in Environmental Management Commission
Standards 15A NCAC 02D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)" as promulgated in 40 CFR 60,
Subpart RR,including Subpart A"General Provisions."
Emission Standards[40 CFR 60A421
b. On or after the date on which the performance test required by 40 CFR 60.8 has been completed,the owner or operator
shall:
i, cause the discharge into the atmosphere from an affected facility not 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 for each affected facility the percent overall VOC emission reduction specified in 40 CFR 60.443(b)
as calculated over a calendar month.
Compliance[40 CFR 60.443]
c. To determine compliance with 40 CFR 60.442,the owner or operator of the affected facility shall calculate a weighted
average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coating solids applied for 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 formulation data.
ii, compute the weighted average(referred to as G)by the equation found in 40 CFR 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 40 CFR 60.442(a)(1).
iv. after the initial performance test required for all affected facilities under 40 CFR 60.8,compliance with the 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 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,
v. startups and shutdowns are normal operation for this source category. Emissions from these operations are to be
included when determining if the standard specified in 40 CFR 60.442(a)(2)is being attained.
The Permittee shall he deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .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 the emission limit in Section 2.1.A.2.b.i.
Performance Tests[40 CFR 60,444]
d. The performance test for affected facilities complying with 40 CFR 60.442 without the use of add-on controls shall
be identical to the procedures specified in 40 CFR 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 02D.0524.
MonitorinJRecordkeepina[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 specified in 40CFR 60.446(a)or the
manufacturer's formulation data used for determining the VOC content of those coatings.
ii. The owner or operator of an affected facility operating at the conditions specified in 40 CFR 60,440(b)shall
maintain a 12-month record of the amount of solvent applied in the coating at the facility.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0524 if the records in Section 2.1 A.2.ed
and ii above are not maintained.
Test Methods and Procedures [40 CFR 60A46]
f. The VOC content per unit of coating solids applied and compliance with 40CFR 60.442(a)(1)shall be determined by
either Reference Method 24 and the equations specified in 40 CFR 60.443 or by manufacturer's formulation data, In
the event of any inconsistency between a Method 24 test and manufacturer's formulation data,the Method 24 test will
govern. The Administrator may require an owner or operator to perform Method 24 testing during each months as
Air Quality Permit No. 04648T12
Page 5
they deem appropriate. For Reference Method 24,the coating sample must be a one liter sample taken into a one liter
container at a point where the sample will be representative of the coating applied to the web substrate.
Reporting[40 CPR 60.447 and 15A NCAC 02Q.0508(f)]
g. L For all affected facilities subject to compliance with 40 CFR 60.442, the performance test data and results from
the initial performance test shall be submitted to the Administrator as specified in 40 CFR 60.8(a)of the General
Provisions(40 CFR 60, Subpart A).
ii. Following the initial performance test,the owner or operator of each affected facility shall submit quarterly reports
to the Administrator of exceedences of the VOC emission limits specified in 40 CFR 60.442. If no such
exceedences occur during the particular quarter, a report stating this shall be submitted to the Administrator
semiannually.
iii. The Permittee shall submit a summary report of monitoring,recordkeeping,and compliance activities postmarked
on or before January 30 of each calendar year for the preceding six-month period between July and December
