(1) Applicability.
(a) The specific emission limiting standards

(transferred), 17-2.510 (transferred); Rules
62-212.400, or
62-212.500,
F.A.C.
(2) Permit,
Recordkeeping, and Compliance Reporting Requirements.
(a) Permits - Special Considerations.
1. Permits to construct or operate are
required for all emissions units subject to a specific emission limiting
standard or other requirement of Rules
62-296.501 through
62-296.516, or
62-296.570, F.A.C., except those
emissions units subject to Rule
62-296.512, F.A.C., Cutback
Asphalt, or emissions units operating under an Air General Permit pursuant to
Rule
62-210.310, F.A.C.
2. Permits to operate shall contain
conditions relating to operation, emission levels, control equipment, use of
low solvent technology or other resource characteristics necessary to insure
compliance with the applicable rules.
(b) Recordkeeping.
1. An owner or operator of a stationary
emissions unit using adhesives, coating, solvents, and/or graphic arts
materials and subject to a specific emission limiting standard or other
requirement of Rules
62-296.501 through
62-296.516, or
62-296.570,
F.A.C., shall maintain daily records of operations for the most recent two year
period. The records shall be made available to the local, state, or federal air
pollution agency upon request. The records shall include, but not be limited
to, the following:
a. The rule number
applicable to the operation for which the records are being
maintained.
b. The application
method and substrate type (metal, plastic, paper, etc.).
c. The amount and type of adhesive, coatings
(including catalyst and reducer for multicomponent coatings), solvent, and/or
graphic arts material used at each point of application, including exempt
compounds.
d. The VOC content as
applied in each adhesive coating, solvent, and/or graphic arts
material.
e. The date for each
application of adhesive coating, solvent, and/or graphic arts
material.
f. The amount of surface
preparation, clean-up, wash-up of solvent (including exempt compounds) used and
the VOC content of each.
g. Oven
temperature (where applicable).
2. VOC content shall be calculated using a
percent solids basis (less water and exempt solvents) for adhesives, coating,
and inks, using EPA Reference Method 24.
3. VOC content and density of rotogravure
publication inks shall be determined by EPA Reference Method 24A.
4. The Department may accept, instead of the
coating analysis methods required under paragraphs
62-296.500(2)(b)
2. and 3., F.A.C., a certification by the coating manufacturer of the
composition of the coating if it is supported by actual batch formulation
records. The manufacturer's certification shall be consistent with EPA's
document number 450/3-84-019, titled, "Procedures for Certifying Quantity of
Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Paint, Ink, and Other Coatings, "
effective December 1984, herein adopted and incorporated by reference (
http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-10762).
5. When an emissions unit utilizes add-on
controls to achieve compliance, documentation will be necessary to assure
proper operation. Examples of some controls and related information are:
a. Thermal incinerator - combustion
temperature, inlet and outlet VOC concentration from emission tests, how and
when these concentrations were determined, destruction or removal efficiency,
and manufacturer data.
b. Catalytic
incinerator - exhaust gas temperature, change in temperature across catalyst
bed, date of last change of catalyst bed, inlet and outlet VOC concentration
from emission tests, how and when these concentrations were determined,
destruction or removal efficiency, and manufacturer data.
c. Condenser - inlet temperature of cooling
medium, outlet temperature of cooling medium, inlet and outlet VOC
concentration from emission tests, how and when these concentrations were
determined, removal efficiency, and manufacturer
data.
(c)
Reporting. Annually, in accordance with a schedule and reporting format
provided by the Department, the owner or operator of any emissions unit having
a Department air operation permit and subject to a specific emission limitation
under Rules
62-296.501 through
62-296.516, F.A.C., shall
provide the Department with proof of compliance with such limitation.
Compliance with the requirements of Rule
62-296.570, F.A.C., shall be
demonstrated in accordance with the provisions of that
rule.
(3) Exceptions.
(a) Emissions units which in combination with
all other emissions units at the facility subject to the same specific emission
limitation under Rules
62-296.501 through
62-296.516, F.A.C., emit VOC at
rates of not more than 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) in any one day and not more
than 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) in any one hour.
(b) Emissions units used exclusively for
chemical or physical analysis, or for the determination of product quality and
commercial acceptance, provided:
1. The
operation of the emissions unit is not an integral part of any production
process; and,
2. The emissions from
the emissions unit do not exceed 800 pounds (363 kilograms) in any one calendar
month.
(4)
Consideration of Exempt Solvents - Compliance calculations for coatings
containing solvents exempted under the definition of VOC shall be determined as
follows:
Given the mass of VOC and mass of exempt solvent per unit
volume of coating, determine the mass of VOC per unit volume of coating less
exempt solvent.
Let
x = mass of exempt solvent per unit volume of coating
y = mass of VOC per unit volume of coating
d = density of exempt solvent
z = mass of VOC per unit volume of coating less exempt
solvent.
Then
z = [y/ (1 - x/d)] or
If more than one solvent is present and the individual
volumes and densities are known, use:
d = d1
V1 + d2 V2
+ . . . dn Vn
_____________________
V1 +
V2 + . . . Vn
where
V = volume of each component solvent
(5) Compliance may be demonstrated for
surface coating and graphic arts facilities on a 24-hour weighted average basis
for a single emissions unit point with a single emission limit.
(6) Specific Emission Limitations. The
specific volatile organic compounds emission limiting standards set forth in
Rules
62-296.401 through
62-296.416, F.A.C., have been
found to represent the application of RACT for each emissions unit category
listed in those rules except for those emissions unit categories listed in
Rules
62-296.501 through 62-296.516,
and
62-296.570, F.A.C. For those
emissions unit categories the volatile organic compounds emission standards of
Rules
62-296.501 through
62-296.516, and
62-296.570, F.A.C., have been
found to represent the application of RACT. Emission limitations for surface
coating operations shall be expressed in units of pounds VOC/gallon of solids
as applied rather than pounds VOC/gallon of coating (less water and exempt
solvents) when crossline averaging or compliance using add-on control equipment
such as incineration is involved. The method of calculating pounds VOC/gallon
of solids as applied from the pounds VOC/gallon of coating is shown in Table
296.500-1.
TABLE 296.500-1 CALCULATION OF POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF
SOLIDS FROM POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF COATING
These calculations shall be determined as follows:
EXAMPLE CONVERSION
GIVEN: COATING OF 3 POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF COATING
(LESS WATER AND EXEMPT SOLVENTS) AND
VOC DENSITY OF 7.36 POUNDS VOC/GALLON.
PROBLEM: CONVERT POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF COATING TO
POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF SOLIDS.
STEP 1 - WHAT IS THE VOLUME OF VOC IN 1 GALLON
OF COATING?
3 POUNDS VOC x 1 GALLON VOC = 0.408 GALLON VOC
GALLON COATING 7.36 POUNDS VOC GALLON COATING
STEP 2 - WHAT IS THE VOLUME OF SOLIDS IN 1
GALLON COATING?
1 GALLON COATING - VOLUME VOC = VOLUME SOLIDS
1 - 0.408 = 0.592 GALLON SOLIDS
STEP 3 - HOW MANY GALLONS OF COATING DOES IT
TAKE TO GET A GALLON OF SOLIDS? (INVERSE OF STEP 2)
1 GALLON COATING = 1.689 GALLON COATING
0. 592 GALLON SOLIDS GALLON SOLIDS
STEP 4 - CONVERT 3 POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF COATING
TO POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF SOLIDS
3 POUNDS VOC x 1.689 GALLON COATING = 5.07 POUNDS VOC
GALLON COATING GALLON SOLIDS GALLON SOLIDS
ANSWER: 3 POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF COATING (LESS
WATER AND EXEMPT SOLVENTS) = 5.07 POUNDS VOC/GALLON OF
SOLIDS
