Where:

MAVGVWS = monthly volume-weighted average VOC emission rate of the electrodeposition primer, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids deposited;

LC = monthly volume of each coating consumed, as-received, expressed as gallons;

DC = density of each coating as-received, expressed as pounds per gallon;

WO = weight fraction of VOC in each coating, as received;

LD = monthly volume of each type of VOC dilution solvent added to the coating, expressed as gallons;

DD = density of each type of VOC dilution solvent added to the coating, expressed as pounds per gallon;

VS = volume fraction of solids in each coating as received, expressed as gallons of solids per gallon of coating;

E = overall control system efficiency;

n = number of coatings used; and

m = number of VOC dilution solvents used.

E. The monthly volume-weighted average VOC content of all coatings used in a surface coating unit, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating (minus water and exempt compounds), shall be calculated using Equation (9) as follows:

Where:

MAVGVW = monthly volume-weighted average VOC content as-applied, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating (minus water and exempt compounds);

A = monthly gallons of each coating used (minus water and exempt compounds) in a surface coating unit;

B = VOC content of the coating as-applied, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating (minus water and exempt compounds), as delivered to the coating applicator. This is determined by subparagraph (5)(C)1.A. of this rule;

C = total monthly gallons of coatings used (minus water and exempt compounds) in a surface coating unit; and

n = number of coatings used in a surface coating unit.

4. The required control system efficiency shall be determined using Equation (10) as follows:

Where:

R = required control system efficiency;

DAVGVWS = daily volume-weighted average VOC content of all coatings used in a surface coating unit, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids, per subparagraph (5)(C)3.B. of this rule; and

LS = emission limits expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating solids, per paragraph (5)(C)2. of this rule.
