Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-03-18-.79 - OTHER FACILITIES THAT EMIT VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC'S) OF ONE HUNDRED TONS PER YEAR

(1) Applicability of this rule is as follows:

(a) This rule applies to any facility in Davidson, Rutherford, Shelby, Sumner, Williamson, or Wilson County having sources that in the aggregate have potential VOC emissions of 90.7 megagrams (Mg) (100 tons) or more per calendar year. In calculation to determine whether this applicability threshold is exceeded, potential VOC emissions are not included from handling, storage, use and disposal of VOC's subject to the requirements of Rule .06 of this chapter and from the sources as follow:

1. Any sources subject to standards in Rules .11 through .77 of this chapter;

2. Any sources subject to source-specific standards approved in lieu of standards in Rules .11 through .77 of this chapter; and

3. Any sources which are within the sources categories listed in Subparagraph (c) of this paragraph.

(b) The owner or operator of a facility which has potential VOC emissions which are below the applicability threshold of Subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, but which otherwise would be subject to this rule, shall comply with the certification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of Paragraph (4) of this rule.

(c) This rule will not apply to:

Barge loading facilities;

Coke ovens (including by-product recovery plants);

Fuel combustion sources;

Iron and steel production;

Jet engine test cells;

Vegetable oil processing facilities;

Wastewater treatment facilities; and

(d)

(Reserved)

(e) The standards and requirements of this rule shall not apply to handling, storage, use, and disposal of VOC's subject to the requirements of Rule .06 of this chapter and to sources as follows:

1. Sources subject to standards in Rules 1200-03-18-.11 through 1200-03-18-.77 of this chapter;

2. Sources subject to source-specific standards approved in lieu of standards in Rules 1200-03-18-.11 through 1200-03-18-.77 of this chapter; and

3. Sources which are within the source categories listed in Subparagraph (c) of this paragraph."

(2) The owner or operator of any source subject to this rule shall:

(a) Install and operate:

1. An emission capture system which:

(i) Achieves 90 percent capture, or

(ii) Is constructed and operated in accordance with the guidelines of the Industrial Ventilation Manual, 20th Edition, of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, and

2. An emission control device which achieves 90 percent destruction or removal.

(b) For any coating or printing line, limit the weighted average VOC content to 0.40 kilograms VOC per liter (kg VOC/L) (3.5 pounds VOC per gallon [lb VOC/gal]) or less of coating or ink, as applied, (excluding water and/or exempt compounds) as calculated in this chapter; or

(c) Comply with a control plan that employs reasonably available control technology and has been approved as a State Implementation Plan revision. The control plan shall:

1. Be submitted by October 22, 1993, and

2. Be accompanied by a demonstration of the technical or economic infeasibility of complying with the requirements in Subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph.

3. "The standards and requirements of Rule .06 and Rules .11 through .77 for source categories and types of operations shall be accepted, if proposed for the control plan by the owner or operator, as reasonably available control technology for any operation which fulfills the source category or type operation criteria specified in those rules. For example, the standards and requirements specified in Rule .35 for flexographic printing presses may be proposed for a control plan by the owner or operator of a flexographic printing press subject to this Rule .79, and these standards and requirements shall be accepted as reasonably available control technology for that press even if the facility's printing presses do not have total potential VOC emissions of 100 tons per year. In addition, if the control plan includes only standards and requirements of Rule .06 and Rules .11 through .77 as proposed reasonably available control technology, the requirement for approval of this plan as a state implementation plan revision shall not apply. Also, for those operations for which reasonably available control technology is as specified in Rule .06 and Rules .11 through .77, the requirement in Part 2 of this subparagraph for demonstration of infeasibility shall not apply. However, the control plan shall be submitted as specified in Part 1 of this subparagraph, and the compliance certification, reporting, and recordkeeping, and testing requirements of this Rule .79 shall be satisfied".

(3) The owner or operator of any source subject to this rule shall demonstrate compliance with this paragraph by using the applicable test methods specified in this chapter.

(4) Reporting and recordkeeping requirements for sources referenced in Subparagraph (1)(b) of this rule apply as follow:

(a) An owner or operator shall maintain records which document potential VOC emissions are less than the applicability threshold specified in Subparagraph (1)(a) of this rule.

(b) An owner or operator shall submit, upon request by the Technical Secretary, records that document that the source is exempt from these requirements. These records shall be submitted to the Technical Secretary within 30 calendar days from the date of request.

(5) Reporting and recordkeeping requirements for subject non-coating and non-printing sources apply as follow:

(a) The owner or operator of the subject VOC sources shall perform all testing and maintain the results of all tests and calculations required under Paragraphs (2) and (3) of this rule to demonstrate that the subject source is in compliance.

(b) This owner or operator of the subject VOC source shall maintain these records for a minimum of 3 years, and shall make these records available to the Technical Secretary upon request.

(c) The owner or operator of any facility containing subject sources shall comply with the requirements in Rule 1200-03-18-.04 of this chapter.

(6) The owner or operator of any source which on October 25, 1995, became, but before this date was not subject to the standards and requirements of Paragraph (2) of this rule shall:

(a) With respect to compliance certification, initiation of recordkeeping and reporting, and completion of control system compliance testing for that source, comply with the requirements of Rule .03 or .04 of this chapter, as appropriate for such source, except the applicable date for compliance is October 25, 1996, rather than April 22, 1994;

(b) With respect to submitting a control plan for the source, as provided for in Subparagraph (2)(c)of this rule, submit the plan by April 25, 1996, rather than October 22, 1993; and

(c) With respect to petitioning for a source-specific compliance schedule according to and as provided for in Rule .07 of this chapter, insure the petition is received by the Technical Secretary no later than April 25, 1996, rather than October 22, 1993. The applicable date on which a source must be an existing source or before which a state or local agency's construction permit must have been issued for the source to be eligible to petition for a source specific compliance schedule is October 25, 1995, rather than April 22, 1993, as specified in the first sentence of Paragraph .07(1) of this chapter.
