Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-18-.03 - COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION, RECORDKEEPING, AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR COATING AND PRINTING SOURCES
(1) Certification,
recordkeeping, and/or reporting requirements specified in source - category
specific rules of this chapter shall take precedence over the requirements of
this rule. To establish the records required under this rule, the volatile
organic compound (VOC) content of each coating or ink, as applied, and the
efficiency of each capture system and control device shall be determined by the
applicable test methods and procedures specified and referenced in this
chapter.
(2) Any owner or operator
of a coating or printing line or operation that is exempt from emission
limitations of this chapter because combined VOC emissions from otherwise -
subject lines and operations at the facility are below the 6.8-kilograms (kg)
(15-pounds (lb))-per-day applicability threshold specified in the applicable
rule of this chapter, before the application of capture systems and control
devices, shall comply with the following for each rule from which the owner or
operator claims an exemption:
(a) By April 22,
1994, the owner or operator shall certify to the Technical Secretary that the
facility is exempt by providing the following:
1. Name and location of the
facility;
2. Address and telephone
number of the person responsible for the facility;
3. A declaration that the facility is exempt
from emission limitations of this chapter because combined VOC emissions from
otherwise - subject lines and operations are below the appropriate
applicability threshold before the application of capture systems and control
devices; and
4. Calculations that
demonstrate that the combined VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and
operations for a day representative of current maximum production levels are
6.8 kilograms (kg) (15 pounds [lb]) or less before the application of capture
systems and control devices. The following equation shall be used to calculate
total VOC emissions for that day:

where:
T = Total VOC emissions from otherwise - subject lines and operations at the facility, before the application of capture systems and control devices, in units of kg/day (lb/day);
n = Number of different coatings or inks applied on each otherwise - subject line or operation at the facility;
i = Subscript denoting an individual coating or ink;
Ai = Mass of VOC per volume of coating or ink (i) (excluding water and/or i exempt compounds), as applied, in units of kilograms VOC per liter (kg VOC/L) (pounds VOC per gallon [lb VOC/gal]); and
Bi = Volume of coating or ink (i) (excluding water and/or exempt compounds), i as applied, in units of liters per day (L/day) (gallons per day [gal/day]). The instrument or method by which the owner or operator accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating or ink, as applied, used shall be described in the certification to the Technical Secretary.
(b) On and after April 22, 1994, the owner or
operator shall collect and record the following information each day or, for an
alternate longer period which has been approved by the Technical Secretary and
the EPA during which the applicable threshold is not exceeded and maintain the
information at the facility for a period of 3 years:
1. The name and identification number of each
coating or ink, as applied;
2. The
mass of VOC per volume (excluding water and/or exempt compounds) and the volume
of coating or ink (i) (excluding water and/or exempt compounds), as applied;
and
3. The total VOC emissions as
calculated using the equation in Part (a)4 of this paragraph.
(c) On and after April 22, 1994,
the owner or operator shall notify the Technical Secretary of any record
showing that combined VOC emissions exceed 6.8 kg (15 lb) on any day, before
the application of capture systems and control devices. A copy of such record
shall be sent to the Technical Secretary within 30 calendar days after the
exceedance occurs.
