Note 1-The emission limit associated with the latest compliance date for each surface coating process supersedes interim emission limits associated with earlier compliance dates.

Note 2-A formal commitment submitted to and received by the director prior to 12/31/88 to construct or modify the truck topcoat surface coating operation no later than 12/31/90 to meet the provisions of 10 CSR 10-6.070 or 40 CFR 60 Subpart MM, whichever is more stringent, may be substituted for this emission limitation. The emission limit specified by the rules referenced in this note is 12.3 lbs. VOC per gallon of solids applied.

(4) Reporting and Record Keeping.

(A) The owner or operator of a coating line shall keep records detailing specific VOC sources, as necessary to determine compliance. These may include:

1. The type and the quantity of coatings used daily;

2. The coating manufacturer's formulation data for each coating on forms provided or approved by the director;

3. The type and quantity of solvents for coating, thinning, purging, and equipment cleaning used daily;

4. All test results to determine capture and control efficiencies, transfer efficiencies, and coating makeup;

5. The type and quantity of waste solvents reclaimed or discarded daily;

6. The quantity of pieces or materials coated daily; and

7. Any additional information pertinent to determine compliance.

(B) Records, such as daily production rates, may be substituted for actual daily coating use measurement provided the owner submits a demonstration approvable by the director that these records are adequate for the purposes of this regulation. This will apply for all surface coating industries until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues national daily emissions record keeping protocols for specific industrial classifications.

(C) Owners or operators shall retain records for a minimum of two (2) years and make the records available to the director upon request.

(5) Test Methods. Use the methods in subsections (5)(A)-(C) as applicable and appropriate to determine compliance with section (3) requirements.

(A) To calculate the daily volume-weighted emission performance for automobile and light-duty truck primer-surfacer and topcoat operations for subsection (3)(A), use the procedures in the E PA document, Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Topcoat Operations as incorporated by reference in 10 CSR 10-6.030(20).

(B) For subsection (3)(B)-

1. Compliance with emission limits may be demonstrated with E PA Method 24 as specified in 10 CSR 10-6.030(22) using the one (1)-hour bake. Emission performance is based on the daily volume-weighted average of all coatings used in each industrial surface coating operation as delivered to the coating applicator(s) on a coating line. The daily volume-weighted average (DAVG_vw) is calculated by the following formula:

Where: A = daily gal. each coating used (minus water and exempt solvents) in an industrial surface coating operation.

B = lbs. VOC/gal coating (minus water and exempt solvents).

C = total daily gal. coating used (minus water and exempt solvents) in an industrial surface coating operation.

n = number of all coating used in an industrial surface coating operation; or

2. Compliance with the emission limits in subsection (3)(B) may be demonstrated on pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids basis. The demonstration is made by first converting the emission limit in subsection (3)(B) to pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids as shown in the following three (3) steps:

1)	lbs. VOC per gallon of coating minus water & exempt solvents	(Emission Limit from (3)(B)) =	volume fraction of VOC
7.36 lbs. per gallon	(average density of solvents used to originally establish the emission limit)
2)	1 - Volume fraction of VOC	=	Volume fraction of solids
3)	lbs. VOC per gallon of coating minus water & exempt solvents	(Emission Limit from (3)(B)) =	lbs. VOC gallon of coating solids
volume fraction of solids

This value is the new compliance figure. The VOC per gallon of coating solids for each coating used is then determined with EPA Method 24 as specified in 10 CSR 10-6.030(22) using the one (1)-hour bake. The composite daily volume-weighted average of pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids as tested for the actual coatings used is compared to the new compliance figure. Source operations on a coating line using coatings with a composite actual daily volume-weighted average value less than or equal to the new compliance figure are in compliance with this regulation

(C) As an alternative to the methods specified in subsections (5)(A) and (B), compliance with the emission limits specified in subsections (3)(A) and (B) may be demonstrated by the implementation of an emission reduction equivalency compliance plan, which utilizes a daily weighted average of emissions from a single or combination of source operations provided that-

1. All source operations involved in the plan are subject to the emission limits of this regulation;

2. All source operations are part of the same installation;

3. The total actual VOC emissions for each twenty-four (24)-hour period do not exceed the sum of the allowable emissions determined from section (3) for each source operation for the same period;

4. Equivalent emission reductions are accomplished in the time intervals allowed in subsection (5)(B);

5. After December 24, 1987, testing of raw materials, emissions, equipment, or a combination of these, shall be performed prior to initiation of an alternate compliance plan to verify any equivalent emission reductions claimed. Director approval prior to review is necessary for all test methods and procedures to be acceptable for use in the equivalency determination. Failure to gain test method and procedure approval of the director will invalidate the equivalency claim; and

6. The overall plan is approved by the director.
