Section 096-162-9 - Monitoring and recordkeeping requirements

A. The owner or operator of a fiberglass boat manufacturing facility that is subject to the monomer and nonmonomer VOC requirements of this Chapter shall collect and record the following information for each operation subject to this Chapter on a monthly basis and shall maintain the information at the facility for a period of five years:

1 The total quantity of atomized molding production resin, nonatomized production resin, pigmented gel coat, clear gel coat, atomized tooling resin, nonatomized tooling resin, and tooling gel coat used per month and the weighted-average monomer VOC contents for each operation.

2 All calculations performed pursuant to Section 3 of this Chapter.

3 The volatile organic compound content of each non-monomer resin and gel coat employed.

4 For each cleaning solvent employed for routine application equipment cleaning, either the volatile organic compound content, by weight per cent or the composite vapor pressure, in mmHg; whichever is the applicable requirement selected to comply with the cleaning solvent requirements of Section 4 of this Chapter.

5 Calculations performed to establish the monomer VOC emission limitation as specified in Section 3(B)(1) of this Chapter.

B. If an owner or operator of a fiberglass boat manufacturing facility employs add-on control equipment consisting of a thermal incinerator or catalytic incinerator to achieve and maintain compliance pursuant to Section 3(C) of this Chapter, the owner or operator shall comply with the following requirements:

1 Continuous temperature monitoring and continuous temperature recording equipment shall be installed and operated to accurately measure and record the operating temperature(s) for the control device.

2 The following information shall be collected and recorded for each day of operation of the control device, and the information shall be maintained at the facility for a period of five years:

a A log or record of the operating time for the control device, monitoring equipment, and the open molding operation being controlled.

b For thermal incinerators, all three-hour periods of operation during which the average combustion temperature was more than fifty degrees Fahrenheit below the average combustion temperature during the most recent emission test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance.

c For catalytic incinerators, all three-hour periods of operation during which the average temperature of the dryer exhaust gases immediately before the catalyst bed was more than fifty degrees Fahrenheit below the average temperature of the dryer exhaust gases during the most recent emission test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance, and all three-hour periods during which the average temperature difference across the catalyst bed was less than eighty per cent of the average temperature difference during the most recent emission test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance.

C. If an owner or operator of a fiberglass boat manufacturing facility operates add-on control equipment consisting of a carbon adsorption system to achieve and maintain compliance pursuant to Section 3(C) of this Chapter, the owner or operator shall comply with the following requirements:

1 One of the following types of monitoring and recording equipment shall be installed and operated for the carbon adsorption system:

a A continuous emission monitoring and recording system that is capable of accurately measuring and recording the concentration of organic compounds in the exhaust gases from the carbon adsorption system.

b Monitoring and recording equipment that are capable of accurately measuring and recording the total mass steam flow rate for each regeneration cycle of each carbon bed.

c Monitoring and recording equipment that are capable of accurately measuring and recording the temperature of each carbon bed after regeneration (and after completion of any cooling cycle(s)).

2 The following information shall be collected and recorded for each day of operation of the carbon adsorption system, and the information shall be maintained at the facility for a period of five years:

a A log or record of the operating time for the carbon adsorption system, monitoring equipment, and the open molding operation being controlled.

b For a carbon adsorption system that employs a continuous emission monitoring and recording system to measure and record the concentration of organic compounds in the exhaust gases, all three-hour periods of operation during which the average concentration level or reading in the exhaust gases is more than twenty per cent greater than the exhaust gas organic compound concentration level or reading measured by the most recent performance test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance.

c For a carbon adsorption system that employs monitoring and recording equipment to measure and record the total mass steam flow rate for each regeneration cycle of each carbon bed, all carbon bed regeneration cycles during which the total mass steam flow rate was more than ten per cent below the total mass steam flow rate during the most recent performance test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance.

d For a carbon adsorption system that employs monitoring and recording equipment to measure and record the temperature of each carbon bed after regeneration (and after completion of any cooling cycle(s)), all carbon bed regeneration cycles during which the temperature of the carbon bed after regeneration (and after completion of any cooling cycle(s)) was more than ten per cent greater than the carbon bed temperature during the most recent performance test that demonstrated that the open molding operation was in compliance.

e Each parameter monitor must record accurate and reliable data at least 98% of the source-operating time within any quarter of the calendar year unless the licensee can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Department that the failure of the system to record accurate and reliable data was due to the performance of established quality assurance and quality control procedures or unavoidable malfunctions.
