Section 45-21-16 - Coating of Metal Furniture
16.1. Applicability.
16.1.1. This section 16. applies to any metal furniture coating line.
16.1.2. This section 16. does not apply to any coating line within a facility whose actual emissions without control devices from all metal furniture coating lines 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 16.7.1.
16.2. Definitions. -- As used in this section 16., all terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in section 2.
16.2.1. "Metal furniture" means any furniture piece made of metal or any metal part that will be assembled with other metal, wood, fabric, plastic, or glass parts to form a furniture piece including, but not limited to, tables, chairs, waste baskets, beds, desks, lockers, benches, shelving, file cabinets, and room dividers. This definition shall not apply to the coating of miscellaneous metal parts or products.
16.2.2. "Metal furniture coating line" means a coating line in which a protective, decorative, or functional coating is applied onto the surface of metal furniture.
16.3. Standards.
16.3.1. No owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line subject to this section 16. shall cause or allow the application of any coating on that line with VOC content in excess of 0.36 kilograms per liter (kg/L) (3.0 pounds per gallon [lb/gal]) of coating, minus water and exempt compounds, as applied.
16.3.2. As an alternative to compliance with the emission limit in subdivision 16.3.1., an owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line may meet the requirements of subsection 16.4. or subsection 16.5.
16.4. Daily-weighted average limitation. -- No owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line subject to this section 16. shall apply coatings on that line, 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 16.3.1.
16.5. Control devices. -- An owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line subject to this section 16. shall comply with this section 16. by:
16.5.1. Installing and operating a capture system on that line;
16.5.2. Installing and operating a control device on that line;
16.5.3. 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. for that day or 95 percent; and
16.5.4. 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.
16.6. Test methods. -- The test methods found in sections 41. through 44. shall be used to determine compliance with this section.
16.7. Recordkeeping and reporting.
16.7.1. An owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line that is exempt from the emission limitations in subsection 16.3. shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in subsection 4.2.

16.7.3. An owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line subject to this section 16. and complying with subsection 16.4. by daily-weighted averaging shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in subsection 4.4.
16.7.4. An owner or operator of a metal furniture coating line subject to this section 16. and complying with subsection 16.5. by the use of control devices shall comply with the testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements in subsection 4.5.
