Section 115.436 - Monitoring and Recordkeeping Requirements(a) In the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, as defined in § 115.10 of this title (relating to Definitions), the owner or operator of a rotogravure or flexographic printing line subject to this division shall: (1) maintain records of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) content of all inks as applied to the substrate. Additionally, records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used must be maintained. The composition of inks may be determined by the methods referenced in § 115.435(a) of this title (relating to Testing Requirements) or by examining the manufacturer's formulation data and the amount of dilution solvent added to adjust the viscosity of inks prior to application to the substrate;(2) maintain daily records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used at a facility subject to the requirements of an alternate means of control approved by the executive director in accordance with § 115.433 of this title (relating to Alternate Control Requirements) that allows the application of inks exceeding the applicable control limits. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limitation on a daily weighted average;(3) install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational parameters of any control device installed to meet applicable control requirements. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of those devices to design specifications, including: (A) the exhaust gas temperature of direct-flame incinerators or gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;(B) the total amount of VOC recovered by a carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery system during a calendar month;(C) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system, as defined in § 115.10 of this title, to determine if breakthrough has occurred; and(D) the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of VOC emissions during such activities;(4) maintain the results of any testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified in § 115.435(a) of this title;(5) maintain all records at the affected facility for at least two years and make such records available upon request to authorized representatives of the executive director, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or any local air pollution agency with jurisdiction; and(6) maintain on file the capture efficiency protocol submitted under § 115.435(a)(8) of this title. The owner or operator shall submit all results of the test methods and capture efficiency protocols to the executive director within 60 days of the actual test date. The source owner or operator shall maintain records of the capture efficiency operating parameter values on-site for a minimum of one year. If any changes are made to capture or control equipment, the owner or operator is required to notify the executive director in writing within 30 days of these changes, and a new capture efficiency or control device destruction or removal efficiency test may be required.(b) In Gregg, Nueces, and Victoria Counties, the owner or operator of any rotogravure or flexographic printing line shall: (1) maintain records of the VOC content of all inks as applied to the substrate. Additionally, records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used must be maintained. The composition of inks may be determined by the methods referenced in § 115.435(b) of this title or by examining the manufacturer's formulation data and the amount of dilution solvent added to adjust the viscosity of inks prior to application to the substrate;(2) maintain daily records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used at a facility subject to the requirements of an alternate means of control approved by the executive director in accordance with § 115.433 of this title that allows the application of inks exceeding the applicable control limits. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limitation on a daily weighted average;(3) install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational parameters of any control device installed to meet applicable control requirements. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of those devices to design specifications, including: (A) the exhaust gas temperature of direct-flame incinerators or the gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;(B) the total amount of VOC recovered by a carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery system during a calendar month;(C) in Victoria County, the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system, as defined in § 115.10 of this title, to determine if breakthrough has occurred; and(D) the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of VOC emissions during such activities;(4) maintain the results of any testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified in § 115.435(b) of this title; and(5) maintain all records at the affected facility for at least two years and make such records available upon request to authorized representatives of the executive director, the EPA, or any local air pollution agency with jurisdiction.(c) Beginning March 1, 2013, in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas, the owner or operator of a flexible package printing line subject to this division shall comply with the following monitoring and recordkeeping requirements. (1) The owner or operator shall maintain records of the VOC content of all coatings, as defined in § 101.1 of this title (relating to Definitions), as applied to the substrate. The composition of coatings may be determined by the methods referenced in § 115.435(a) of this title or by examining the manufacturer's formulation data and the amount of dilution solvent added to adjust the viscosity of coatings prior to application to the substrate. Additionally, records of the quantity of each coating used must be maintained.(2) For flexible package printing lines subject to the control requirements in § 115.432(c) of this title (relating to Control Requirements), the owner or operator shall maintain records of the quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed if any of the coatings, as applied, exceed the applicable VOC content or emission limits in § 115.432(c) of this title. Records must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable VOC content or emission limit on a daily weighted average.(3) For flexible package printing lines subject to the control requirements in § 115.432(a) of this title, the owner or operator shall maintain daily records of the quantity of each ink and solvent used at a facility subject to the requirements of an alternate means of control approved by the executive director in accordance with § 115.433 of this title that allows the application of inks exceeding the applicable control limits. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limitation in § 115.432(a) of this title on a daily weighted average.(4) The owner or operator shall install and maintain monitors to continuously measure and record operational parameters of any control device installed to meet applicable control requirements in § 115.432(a) or (c) of this title. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning of those devices to design specifications, including: (A) the exhaust gas temperature of direct-flame incinerators or gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;(B) the total amount of VOC recovered by a carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery system during a calendar month;(C) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon adsorption system, as defined in § 115.10 of this title, to determine if breakthrough has occurred; and(D) the dates and reasons for any maintenance and repair of the required control devices and the estimated quantity and duration of VOC emissions during such activities.(5) The owner or operator shall maintain the results of any testing conducted at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified in § 115.435(a) of this title.(6) The owner or operator shall maintain all records at the affected facility for at least two years and make such records available upon request to authorized representatives of the executive director, the EPA, or any local air pollution agency with jurisdiction.(7) The owner or operator shall maintain on file the capture efficiency protocol submitted under § 115.435(a)(8) of this title.
