Section R. 336.1620a - Emission of volatile organic compounds from existing flat wood paneling coating lines in 2015 ozone nonattainment areasRule 620a.
(1) As used in this rule, "coating of flat wood paneling" means the factory-finished coating of flat products that are constructed of wood and intended for use as interior paneling, exterior siding, tileboard, cabinets, or furniture components.(2) Unless all of the applicable provisions this rule are met, a person shall not cause or allow the emission of any volatile organic compound from the coating of flat wood paneling on existing lines located in the 2015 ozone nonattainment area for the following materials:(a) Printed interior panels made of hardwood, plywood, or thin particleboard.(b) Natural finish hardwood plywood panels.(c) Class 2 finishes on hardboard panels.(3) Except as provided in subrule (7), the provisions of this rule do not apply to the following:(a) Flat wood paneling coating lines that are within a stationary source and have a combined actual emission rate of volatile organic compounds, including related cleaning activities, of less than 15 pounds per day before consideration of controls. If the combined actual emission rate equals or is more than 15 pounds per day for a subsequent day, then this rule permanently applies to these coating lines.(b) Low-use coatings that total 55 gallons or less per rolling 12-month period at a stationary source.(4) A person subject to subrule (2) of this rule shall not cause or allow the emission of any volatile organic compound from flat wood paneling coating, unless 1 of the following provisions are met: (a) Surface coatings, inks, or adhesives are less than 2.1 pounds per gallon coating, excluding water and exempt solvents.(b) Surface coatings, inks, or adhesives are less than 2.9 pounds per gallon solids.(c) Add-on control is operated and maintained and has an overall control efficiency of volatile organic compounds of 90% or more.(5) For each coating line, compliance with the emission limits specified in this rule must be based upon all of the following:(a) The volume-weighted average of all coatings that belong to the same coating category and are used during each calendar day averaging period.(b) If coatings that belong to more than 1 coating category are used on the same coating line during the specified averaging period, then compliance must be determined separately for each coating category.(c) The information and records as required by the provisions of subrule (7) of this rule.(6) Compliance with the limits specified in subrule (4) of this rule, as appropriate, must be determined using the methods described in R 336.2040(12), as applicable.(7) A person who is responsible for the operation of a coating line that is subject to this rule shall obtain current information and keep daily records necessary for the determination of compliance with this rule, as required in R 336.2041.Mich.
