(B) Definitions.
The definitions applicable to this rule are contained in
paragraph (D) of rule
3745-21-01 of the Administrative
Code.
(C) Operating
requirements.
Except where exempt under paragraph (D) of this rule a person
at a facility subject to this rule shall do the following:
(1) Not apply to mobile equipment or mobile
equipment components any automotive pretreatment, automotive primer-surfacer,
automotive primersealer, automotive topcoat, or automotive specialty coatings,
including any VOC-containing materials added to the original coating supplied
by the manufacturer, that contain VOCs in excess of the limits specified in the
table of this rule:

Calculate the VOC content of the coatings employed in accordance with the
following:
(a) Except for multi-stage
topcoats, the mass of VOC per combined volume of VOC and coating solids,
excluding water and exempt solvents, shall be calculated by the following
equation:
VOC = (Wv - Ww - Wec) / (V - Vw -
Vec)
(Wv -
Ww - Wec)/(V -
Vw - Vec)
where:
VOC = VOC content in pounds per gallon of coating, excluding
water and exempt solvents.
Wv
Wv = mass of total volatiles,
in pounds.
Ww
Ww = mass of water, in
pounds.
Wec
Wec = mass of exempt solvents,
in pounds.
V = volume of coating, in gallons.
Vw
Vw = volume of water, in
gallons.
Vec
Vec = volume of exempt
solvents, in gallons.
(b)
The VOC content of a multi-stage topcoat shall be calculated by the following
equation:

where:
VOCmulti = VOC content of multistage topcoat, in pounds per
gallon, excluding water and exempt solvents.
VOCbc = VOC content of basecoat, in pounds per gallon,
excluding water and exempt solvents.
VOCmci = VOC content of each midcoat, in pounds per gallon,
excluding water and exempt solvents.
VOCcc = VOC content of the clear coat, in pounds per gallon,
excluding water and exempt solvents.
M = number of midcoats.
(The VOC content of each coating shall be measured in
accordance with USEPA method 24.)
(3) Use one or more of the following
application techniques, in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, to
apply any coating containing a VOC as a pretreatment, primer, sealant,
basecoat, clear coat, or topcoat to mobile equipment for commercial purposes:
(a) Flow or curtain coating.
(b) Dip coating.
(c) Roller coating.
(d) Brush coating.
(e) Cotton-tipped swab application.
(f) Electro-deposition coating.
(g) HVLP spraying.
(h) Electrostatic spray.
(i) Airless spray.
(j) Air-assisted airless spray.
(k) Any other coating application method that
the owner or operator of
the
a facility
or
manufacturer demonstrates and Ohio EPA determines achieves emission
reductions equivalent to HVLP or electrostatic spray application methods. This
demonstration shall be submitted
to the director
for approval
to the director. Any
equivalent coating application method approved by the director shall be
submitted to the USEPA as a revision to the Ohio state implementation plan
for ozone.
(4) Be properly trained in the use of an HVLP
sprayer, or equivalent application, in accordance with manufacturer's
specifications, and in the handling of a coating and any solvents used to clean
the sprayer.
(5) Ensure that the
spray guns used to apply mobile equipment repair and refinishing coatings
shall be
are
cleaned by one of the following:
(a) An
enclosed spray gun cleaning system that is kept closed when not in
use.
(b) Un-atomized discharge of
solvent into a paint waste container that is kept closed when not in
use.
(c) Disassembly of the spray
gun and cleaning in a vat that is kept closed when not in use.
(d) Atomized spray into a paint waste
container that is fitted with a device designed to capture atomized solvent
emissions.
(6) Store
the following materials in nonabsorbent, non-leaking containers and keep these
containers closed at all times when not in use:
(a) Fresh coatings.
(b) Used coatings.
(c) Solvents.
(d) VOC-containing additives and
materials.
(e) VOC-containing waste
materials.
(f) Cloth, paper, or
absorbent applicators moistened with any of the items listed in this
subsection.
(D) Exemptions.
The following coating applications shall be exempt from this
rule:
(1) The application of a coating
for graphic designs, stenciling, lettering or other identification marking
through the use of an air brush method.
(2) The application of a coating sold in a
non-refillable aerosol container.
(3) The application of a coating to mobile
equipment solely for repair of small areas of surface damage or minor
imperfections.
(E)
Record keeping and reporting.
(1) Each owner
or operator subject to the provisions of this rule shall submit documentation
to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local
air agency sufficient to demonstrate that high efficiency transfer
application techniques of coatings required in this rule are in use at their
facility
. The documentation also shall
verify
, and verify that all employees
applying coatings are properly trained in the use of an HVLP sprayer, or
equivalent application, and
that all employees are
trained in the handling of a coating and any solvents used to clean the
sprayer.
This documentation shall be submitted to
the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency. In addition,
the
The owner or operator shall retain
the documentation on site and make the documentation available to the
appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency upon request. The
documentation shall be submitted by the following:
(a) June 10, 2006 for sources covered under
paragraph (A)(1)(b) of this rule.
(b) June 10, 2009 for sources covered under
paragraph (A)(1)(a) of this rule.
(c) No later than April 2, 2010 for sources
