(a) Control option 1 shall consist of the use of low-VOC content coatings as applied, excluding water and exempt compounds, as specified in table 1212-7, below:

Table 1212-7 VOC Content Limits Based on Low-VOC Coatings

Coating Category	kg VOC/l coating	lb VOC/gal coating
Extreme High-Gloss Topcoat	0.60	5.1
High-Gloss Topcoat	0.42	3.5
Pretreatment Wash Primer	0.78	6.5
Finish Primer/Surfacer	0.42	3.5
High Build Primer Surfacer	0.34	2.8
Aluminum Substrate Antifoulant Coating	0.56	4.7
Antifouling Sealer/Tie Coating	0.42	3.5
Other Substrate Antifoulant Coating	0.40	3.3
All Other Pleasure Craft Surface Coatings for Metal or Plastic	0.42	3.5

(b) Control option 2 shall consist of using a combination of low-VOC content coatings and one or more add-on controls to meet the limits calculated pursuant to Env-A 1205.01 or specified in table 1212-8, below:

Table 1212-8 VOC Content Limits Per Volume Solids

Coating Category	kg VOC/l solids	lb VOC/gal solids
Extreme High-Gloss Topcoat	1.10	9.2
