A. This regulation applies
statewide.
B.This regulation
applies to any Offset Lithography (Heatset, Sheet Fed or Coldset) and
Letterpress printing operation:
(1) whose
maximum actual emissions are greater than three tons of VOCs per rolling 12
month period;
(2) for non-heatset
printing operations, whose total volume of cleaning solution, alcohol fountain
solution, alcohol substitutes, coatings and ink purchased or used in any 30 day
rolling period is greater than 64 gallons per month, or equivalently, 768
gallons in any 12 month rolling period; or
(3) for heatset printing operations whose
total weight of heatset inks, cleaning solution, fountain solution and fountain
solution additives purchased or used in any 30 day rolling period is greater
than 450 pounds per month, or equivalently, 5400 pounds per 12 month rolling
period.
Any person claiming exemption pursuant to this subsection
shall record and maintain monthly operational records sufficient to demonstrate
compliance as specified in Subsection 5 A(7) of this Chapter.
NOTE: Graphic Arts - Flexography and Rotogravure printing
operations are subject to Graphic Arts - Rotogravure and Flexography, 06-096
CMR 132 (effective February 10, 1993).
NOTE: Facilities or any owner that emits greater than 10
pounds per hour, 100 pounds per day of VOCs may have additional air licensing
requirements and should contact the Department to determine whether any
licensing requirements apply.
C. Any owner or operator of an offset
lithographic or letterpress printing operation, who is subject to this Chapter,
must demonstrate compliance by 12 months from the effective date of this
Chapter. For a source that commences operation after the effective date of this
Chapter, the owner or operator must determine compliance status by 12 months
after the date on which the source commences operation. Any owner or operator
of an offset lithographic or letterpress printing operation, who is subject to
this Chapter and has a BACT analysis included in an air emission license must
demonstrate compliance pursuant to their air emission license
conditions.
D. Any printing
operation that is subject to this Chapter due solely to exceeding the
applicability threshold of three tons of VOC emissions per year in subsection 1
B, and whose VOC emissions subsequently fall below that applicability threshold
for a rolling 12 month period will remain subject to the requirements of this
Chapter for three years following the conclusion of that 12 month rolling
period. The printing operation will become subject to this Chapter anew upon
exceeding any applicability threshold set forth in subsection 1B.
