Section 45-21-14 - Fabric Coating

14.1. Applicability.

14.1.1. This section 14. applies to any fabric coating operation.

14.1.2. This section 14. does not apply to any coating operation within a facility whose actual emissions without control devices from all fabric coating operations within the facility are less than 6.8 kilograms (kg) (15 pounds [lb]) volatile organic compound (VOC) per day. An owner or operator of a facility whose emissions are below this applicability threshold shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of subdivision 14.7.1.

14.2. Definitions. -- As used in this section 14., all terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in section 2.

14.2.1. "Fabric coating line" means a web coating line where coating is applied to fabric. A fabric printing line is not considered a fabric coating line.

14.2.2. "Fabric coating operation" means a coating application station and its associated flashoff area, drying area, and/or oven wherein coating is applied and dried or cured in a fabric coating line. A fabric coating line may include more than one fabric coating operation.

14.3. Standards.

14.3.1. No owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. shall cause or allow the application of any coating on that operation with VOC content in excess of 0.35 kilogram per liter (kg/L) (2.9 pounds per gallon [lb/gal]) of coating, minus water and exempt compounds, as applied.

14.3.2. As an alternative to compliance with the emission limit in subdivision 14.3.1., an owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. may meet the requirements of subsection 14.4. or subsection 14.5.

14.4. Daily-weighted average limitation. -- No owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. shall apply coatings on that operation, during any day, whose daily-weighted average VOC content, calculated in accordance with the procedure specified in section 43., exceeds the emission limit in subdivision 14.3.1.

14.5. Control devices. -- An owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. shall comply with this section 14. by:

14.5.1. Installing and operating a capture system on that operation;

14.5.2. Installing and operating a control device on that operation;

14.5.3. Determining for each day the overall emission reduction efficiency needed to demonstrate compliance. The overall emission reduction needed for a day is the lesser of the value calculated according to the procedure in subsection 43.2. of this regulation for that day or 95 percent; and

14.5.4. Demonstrating each day that the overall emission reduction efficiency achieved for that day, as determined in subsection 44.3., is greater than or equal to the overall emission reduction efficiency required for that day.

14.6. Test methods. -- The test methods found in sections 41. through 44. shall be used to determine compliance with this section 14.

14.7. Recordkeeping and reporting.

14.7.1. An owner or operator of a fabric coating operation that is exempt from the emission limitations in subsection 14.3. shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in subsection 4.2.

14.7.2. An owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. and complying with subsection 14.3. by the use of complying coatings shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in subsection 4.3.

14.7.3. An owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. and complying with subsection 14.4. by daily-weighted averaging shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in subsection 4.4.

14.7.4. An owner or operator of a fabric coating operation subject to this section 14. and complying with subsection 14.5 by the use of control devices shall comply with the testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements in subsection 4.5.
