Affected: IC 13-15; IC 13-17

Sec. 7.

(a) The owner or operator of a press that is subject to the add-on control requirements of section 4(a) of this rule shall comply with the following:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate temperature monitoring and recording equipment as follows:
(A) For catalytic oxidizer control systems, the temperature monitoring and recording equipment shall monitor the gas temperature upstream of the catalyst bed at least once every fifteen (15) minutes by an analog or digital recording device. The catalyst bed material shall be inspected annually for general catalyst condition and any signs of potential catalyst depletion. The source shall also collect a representative sample of the catalyst from the oxidizer, per manufacturer's recommendations, and have it tested to evaluate the catalyst's capability to continue to function at or above the required control efficiency. An evaluation of the catalyst bed material shall also be conducted whenever the results of the inspection indicate signs of potential catalyst depletion or poor catalyst condition based on manufacturer's recommendations, but not less than once per year.
(B) For thermal and regenerative oxidizer control systems, the temperature monitoring and recording equipment shall monitor and record the oxidizer operating temperature at least once every fifteen (15) minutes.
(C) The temperature needed to achieve compliance with the control systems described in clauses (A) and (B) shall be established during testing which demonstrates compliance with the emission standard. The temperature shall be computed as the time-weighted average of the temperature values recorded during the test. The source must maintain the oxidizer at a three (3) hour average temperature not less than fifty (50) degrees Fahrenheit below the average temperature observed during the most recent stack test which demonstrates continuous compliance. Temperature monitoring is required only when a connected printing press is operational.
(2) Collect and record or maintain at the subject source for a period of five (5) years the following information:
(A) The results of any required stack test to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of section 6(a)(4) of this rule.
(B) The operating parameters for any required control device as specified in subdivision (1).
(C) A log or record of any time when the control device or monitoring equipment, or both, are not in operation when any associated press is in operation.
(b) The owner or operator of a heatset web or sheet-fed offset lithographic printing press using alcohol shall measure the following:
(1) The VOC (alcohol) content, in accordance with section 6(b) of this rule, of any altered fountain solution, at the time of alteration, in percent by weight, of the fountain solution employed in the press using an hydrometer, as follows:
(A) A standard solution shall be used to calibrate the hydrometer for the type of alcohol used in the fountain solution, in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, against measurements performed to determine compliance.
(B) The hydrometer must be corrected for temperature at least once per eight (8) hour shift or once per batch of fountain solution prepared or modified, whichever is longer.

For fountain solutions to which VOC containing material is added at the source with automatic feed equipment, VOC content shall be determined for the as-applied fountain solution based on the setting of the automatic feed equipment that makes additions of VOC containing material up to a pre-set level. The equipment used to make automatic additions must be installed, calibrated, operated, and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.

(2) The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the fountain solution, on a daily basis, as measured at the recirculating tank, if the owner or operator refrigerates the fountain solution to comply with the VOC content limit.
(c) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic printing press shall maintain records for each batch of fountain solution prepared for use in the press as follows:
(1) The volume and VOC content of each concentrated alcohol substitute added to make the batch of fountain solution.
(2) The volume of alcohol added to make the batch of fountain solution.
(3) The volume of water added to make the batch of fountain solution.
(4) The calculated VOC content of the final mixed batch.
(5) The date and time the batch was prepared.
(6) As an alternative to the records required by subdivisions (1) through (5), an owner or operator may maintain a recipe log that identifies all mix ratio recipes used to prepare the as-applied fountain solution, as follows:
(A) Records shall be maintained identifying the recipe used to prepare each batch of fountain solution for use in the press, the date and time when the batch was prepared, and a confirmation that the batch was prepared in accordance with the recipe.
(B) Each recipe shall be maintained in the mix ratio recipe log for a period of five (5) years from the date the mix ratio recipe was last prepared. Each mix ratio recipe shall clearly identify the following:
(i) The VOC content of each concentrated alcohol substitute added to make the batch of fountain solution, based upon the manufacturer's laboratory analysis using 40 CFR 60, Method 24*.
(ii) The proportions in which the fountain solution is mixed, including the addition of alcohol or water, or both. The proportion may be identified as:
(AA) a volume when preparing a discrete batch; or
(BB) the settings when an automatic mixing unit is employed.
(iii) The calculated VOC content of the final mixed recipe.
(7) For fountain solutions containing alcohol substitutes purchased with less than five percent (5%) VOC content before dilution, the owner or operator may maintain a current MSDS with VOC content determined by 40 CFR 60, Method 24* and does not need to keep records of VOC dilution and addition.
(d) The owner or operator of a nonheatset web offset lithographic printing press shall document all periods of time when alcohol is used in the press's fountain solution and the amount of alcohol used in each instance. The use of alcohol in fountain solutions for nonheatset web offset lithographic printing presses is prohibited per 326 IAC 8-16-4(d)[section 4(d) of this rule].
(e) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic printing press or letterpress printing press shall maintain monthly records of the following information:
(1) The total amount, in gallons, of each cleaning material used.
(2) The VOC content or VOC composite vapor pressure of all cleaning material used.
(3) The total amount, in gallons, of each cleaning material used that exceed the allowable VOC content or VOC composite partial vapor pressure.
(4) The total amount, in gallons, of all inks used.
(f) An owner or operator of a heatset web offset lithographic printing or heatset web letterpress printing press that is exempt from the add-on control requirements in section 4(a) of this rule shall maintain monthly records of the following information:
(1) The total pounds of each ink used.
(2) The VOC content of each ink.
(3) The hours of operation of each press.
(g) All records required by this rule shall be maintained at the source for a period of five (5) years.
