This rule shall apply to any facility that meets both of the following criteria:
The definitions applicable to this rule are contained in paragraphs (A), (B), and (FF) of rule 3745-21-01 of the Administrative Code.
The owner or operator of a facility that is subject to this rule shall not apply any flat wood paneling coating that exceeds the VOC content limitations specified in the following table:
Table - VOC content limitations
Categories | VOC Limitations (pounds per gallon, excluding water and exempt solvents) | VOC Limitations (pounds per gallon of solids) |
Printed interior panels made of hardwood, plywood, or thin particleboard. | 2.1 | 2.9 |
Natural finish hardwood plywood panels. | 2.1 | 2.9 |
Class 2 finishes on hardboard panels. | 2.1 | 2.9 |
Tileboard. | 2.1 | 2.9 |
Exterior siding. | 2.1 | 2.9 |
The owner or operator of a facility shall not apply coatings to wood products subject to the provisions of this rule unless the coating is applied with properly operating equipment, in accordance with proper operating procedures, and by the use of one of the following methods:
The owner or operator of a facility using VOC-containing materials in any flat wood paneling coating line shall ensure that VOC emissions are minimized by incorporating the following procedures:
where:
T = Total VOC emissions from the combined flat wood paneling coating lines before the application of capture systems and control devices, in units of pounds per day.
n = Number of different coatings applied in the flat wood paneling coating lines at the facility.
i = Subscript denoting an individual coating.
Ai = Mass of VOC per volume of coating (i) (including water and exempt solvents), as applied, used at the facility, in units of pounds VOC per gallon.
Bi = Volume of coating (i) (including water and exempt solvents), as applied, used at the facility, in units of gallons per day. The instrument or method by which the owner or operator accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating, as applied, shall also be described in the certification to the director.
This information does not have to be kept on a line-by-line basis. Also, if an owner or operator mixes complying coatings at a coating line, it is not necessary to record the VOC content of the resulting mixture.
If problems are found, corrective action consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations shall be implemented and a new performance test to determine destruction efficiency in accordance with paragraph (C) of this rule shall be conducted.
When establishing that the facility's total actual VOC emissions from all of the flat wood paneling coating lines (before the application of capture systems and control devices) are less than 15.0 pounds of VOCs per day, the owner or operator shall maintain the following daily records:
