e. If the Permittee revises the implementation plan, the revised plan must be submitted with the next semiannual compliance report specified in 40 CFR 63.5764.

8. 40 CFR 63.5710 Demonstrating Compliance Using Emissions Averaging

a. Compliance using the emissions averaging option is demonstrated on a 12-month rolling-average basis and is determined at the end of every month (12 times per year). The first 12-month rolling-average period begins on the compliance date specified in 40 CFR 63.5695.

b. At the end of the twelfth month after the Permittee’s compliance date and at the end of every subsequent month, use equation 1 of this condition to demonstrate that the organic HAP emissions from those operations included in the average do not exceed the emission limit in 40 CFR 63.5698 calculated for the same 12-month period. (Include terms in equation 1 of 40 CFR 63.5698 and equation 1 of this condition for only those operations and materials included in the average.)

HAP emissions = [(PV_R)(M_R) + (PV_PG)(M_PG) + (PV_CG)(M_CG) + (PV_TR)(M_TR) + (PV_TG)(M_TG)] (Equation 1)

Where:

HAP emissions = Organic HAP emissions calculated using MACT model point values for each operation included in the average, kilograms.

PV_R = Weighted-average MACT model point value for production resin used in the past 12 months, kilograms per megagram.

M_R = Mass of production resin used in the past 12 months, megagrams.

PV_PG = Weighted-average MACT model point value for pigmented gel coat used in the past 12 months, kilograms per megagram.

M_PG = Mass of pigmented gel coat used in the past 12 months, megagrams.

PV_CG = Weighted-average MACT model point value for clear gel coat used in the past 12 months, kilograms per megagram.

M_CG = Mass of clear gel coat used in the past 12 months, megagrams.

PV_TR = Weighted-average MACT model point value for tooling resin used in the past 12 months, kilograms per megagram.

M_TR = Mass of tooling resin used in the past 12 months, megagrams.

PV_TG = Weighted-average MACT model point value for tooling gel coat used in the past 12 months, kilograms per megagram.

M_TG = Mass of tooling gel coat used in the past 12 months, megagrams.

c. At the end of every month, use equation 2 of this condition to compute the weighted-average MACT model point value for each open molding resin and gel coat operation included in the average.

(Equation 2)

Where:

PV_OP = weighted-average MACT model point value for each open molding operation (PV_R, PV_PG, PV_CG, PV_TR, and PV_TG) included in the average, kilograms of HAP per megagram of material applied.

M_i = mass of resin or gel coat i used within an operation in the past 12 months, megagrams.

n = number of different open molding resins and gel coats used within an operation in the past 12 months.

PV_i = the MACT model point value for resin or gel coat i used within an operation in the past 12 months, kilograms of HAP per megagram of material applied.

d. The equations in Table 3 (given below), as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, must be used to calculate the MACT model point value (PV_i) for each resin and gel coat used in each operation in the past 12 months.

¹Equations calculate MACT model point value in kilograms of organic HAP per megagrams of resin or gel coat applied. The equations for vacuum bagging with roll-out are applicable when a facility rolls out the applied resin and fabric prior to applying the vacuum bagging materials. The equations for vacuum bagging without roll-out are applicable when a facility applies the vacuum bagging materials immediately after resin application without rolling out the resin and fabric. HAP% = organic HAP content as supplied, expressed as a weight-percent value between 0 and 100 percent.

e. If the organic HAP emissions, as calculated in paragraph (b) of this condition, are less than the organic HAP limit calculated in 40 CFR 63.5698(b) for the same 12-month period, then the Permittee is in compliance with the emission limit in 40 CFR 63.5698 for those operations and materials included in the average.

9. 40 CFR 63.5713 Demonstrating Compliance Using Compliant Materials

a. Compliance using the organic HAP content requirements listed in Table 2 (given below), as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, is based on a 12-month rolling average that is calculated at the end of every month. The first 12-month rolling-average period begins on the compliance date specified in 40 CFR 63.5695. If the Permittee is using filled material (production resin or tooling resin), the Permittee must comply according to the procedure described in 40 CFR 63.5714.

Table 2 to Subpart VVVV of Part 63 – Alternative Organic HAP Content Requirements for Open Molding Resin and Gel Coat Operations

For this operation -	And this application method -	You must not exceed this weighted-average organic HAP content (weight percent) requirement -
1. Production resin operations	Atomized (spray)	28 percent

3. Pigmented gel coat operations	Any method	33 percent
4. Clear gel coat operations	Any method	48 percent
5. Tooling resin operations	Atomized (spray)	30 percent
6. Tooling resin operations	Nonatomized (nonspray)	39 percent
7. Tooling gel coat operations	Any method	40 percent

b. At the end of the twelfth month after the Permittee’s compliance date and at the end of every subsequent month, review the organic HAP contents of the resins and gel coats used in the past 12 months in each operation. If all resins and gel coats used in an operation have organic HAP contents no greater than the applicable organic HAP content limits in Table 2, as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, then the Permittee is in compliance with the emission limit specified in 40 CFR 63.5698 for that 12-month period for that operation. In addition, the Permittee does not need to complete the weighted- average organic HAP content calculation contained in paragraph (c) of this condition for that operation.

c. At the end of every month, the Permittee must use equation 1 of this condition to calculate the weighted-average organic HAP content for all resins and gel coats used in each operation in the past 12 months.

Weighted-Average HAP Content (Equation 1)

Where:

M_i = mass of open molding resin or gel coat i used in the past 12 months in an operation, megagrams.

HAP_i = Organic HAP content, by weight percent, of open molding resin or gel coat i used in the past 12 months in an operation. Use the methods in 40 CFR 63.5758 to determine organic HAP content.

n = number of different open molding resins or gel coats used in the past 12 months in an operation.

d. If the weighted-average organic HAP content does not exceed the applicable organic HAP content limit specified in Table 2 as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, then the Permittee is in compliance with the emission limit specified in 40 CFR 63.5698.

10. 40 CFR 63.5714 Demonstrating Compliance if Using Filled Resins

a. If the Permittee is using a filled production resin or filled tooling resin, the Permittee must demonstrate compliance for the filled material on an as-applied basis using equation 1 of this condition.

(Equation 1)

Where:

PV_F = The as-applied MACT model point value for a filled production resin or tooling resin, kilograms organic HAP per megagram of filled material.

PV_u = The MACT model point value for the neat (unfilled) resin, before filler is added, as calculated using the formulas in Table 3 (given below) as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV.

% Filler = The weight-percent of filler in the as applied filled resin system.

b. If the filled resin is used as a production resin and the value of PV_F calculated by equation 1 of this condition does not exceed 46 kilograms of organic HAP per megagram of filled resin applied, then the filled resin is in compliance.

c. If the filled resin is used as a tooling resin and the value of PV_F calculated by equation 1 of this condition does not exceed 54 kilograms of organic HAP per megagram of filled resin applied, then the filled resin is in compliance.

d. If the Permittee is including a filled resin in the emissions averaging procedure described in 40 CFR 63.5710, then use the value of PV_F calculated using equation 1 of this condition for the value of PV_i in equation 2 of 40 CFR 63.5710.

11. 40 CFR 63.5737 Demonstrating Compliance With The Resin And Gel Coat Application Equipment Cleaning Standards

a. Determine and record the organic HAP content of the cleaning solvents subject to the standards specified in 40 CFR 63.5734 using the methods specified in 40 CFR 63.5758.

b. If the Permittee recycles cleaning solvents on site, the Permittee may use documentation from the solvent manufacturer or supplier or a measurement of the organic HAP content of the cleaning solvent as originally obtained from the solvent supplier for demonstrating compliance, subject to the conditions in 40 CFR 63.5758 for demonstrating compliance with organic HAP content limits.

c. At least once per month, the Permittee must visually inspect any containers holding organic HAP-containing solvents used for removing cured resin and gel coat to ensure that the containers have covers with no visible gaps. Keep records of the monthly inspections and any repairs made to the covers.

12. 40 CFR 63.5740 Demonstrating Compliance with Carpet and Fabric Adhesive Operations

a. The Permittee must use carpet and fabric adhesives that contain no more than 5 percent organic HAP by weight.

b. To demonstrate compliance with the emission limit in paragraph (a) of this section, you must determine and record the organic HAP content of the carpet and fabric adhesives using the methods in 40 CFR 63.5758.

13. 40 CFR 63.5758 Determine The Organic HAP Content Of Materials

a. Determine the organic HAP content for each material used. To determine the organic HAP content for each material used in the Permittee’s open molding resin and gel coat operations, carpet and fabric adhesive operations, or aluminum recreational boat surface coating operations, the Permittee must use one of the options in paragraphs (a)(i) through (vi) of this condition.

i. Method 311 (appendix A to 40 CFR part 63). The Permittee may use Method 311 for determining the mass fraction of organic HAP. Use the procedures specified in paragraphs (a)(i)(1) and (2) of this condition when determining organic HAP content by Method 311.

1) Include in the organic HAP total each organic HAP that is measured to be present at 0.1 percent by mass or more for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-defined carcinogens as specified in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4) and at 1.0 percent by mass or more for other compounds. For example, if toluene (not an OSHA carcinogen) is measured to be 0.5 percent of the material by mass, the Permittee does not need to include it in the organic HAP total. Express the mass fraction of each organic HAP the Permittee measures as a value truncated to four places after the decimal point (for example, 0.1234).

2) Calculate the total organic HAP content in the test material by adding up the individual organic HAP contents and truncating the result to three places after the decimal point (for example, 0.123).

ii. Method 24 (appendix A to 40 CFR part 63). The Permittee may use Method 24 to determine the mass fraction of non-aqueous volatile matter of aluminum coatings and use that value as a substitute for mass fraction of organic HAP.

iii. ASTM D1259-85 (Standard Test Method for Nonvolatile Content of Resins). The Permittee may use ASTM D1259-85 (available for purchase from ASTM) to measure the mass fraction of volatile matter of resins and gel coats for open molding operations and use that value as a substitute for mass fraction of organic HAP.

iv. Alternative method. The Permittee may use an alternative test method for determining mass fraction of organic HAP if the Permittee obtains prior approval by EPA Region IV. The Permittee must follow the procedure in 40 CFR 63.7(f) to submit an alternative test method for approval.

v. Information from the supplier or manufacturer of the material. The Permittee may rely on information other than that generated by the test methods specified in paragraphs (a)(i) through (iv) of this condition, such as manufacturer’s formulation data, according to paragraphs (a)(v)(1) through (3) of this condition.

1) Include in the organic HAP total each organic HAP that is present at 0.1 percent by mass or more for OSHA-defined carcinogens as specified in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4) and at 1.0 percent by mass or more for other compounds. For example, if toluene (not an OSHA carcinogen) is 0.5 percent of the material by mass, the Permittee does not have to include it in the organic HAP total.

2) If the organic HAP content is provided by the material supplier or manufacturer as a range, then the Permittee must use the upper limit of the range for determining compliance. If a separate measurement of the total organic HAP content using the methods specified in paragraphs (a)(i) through (iv) of this condition exceeds the upper limit of the range of the total organic HAP content provided by the material supplier or manufacturer, then the Permittee must use the measured organic HAP content to determine compliance.

a. If the organic HAP content is provided as a single value, the Permittee may assume the value is a manufacturing target value and actual organic HAP content may vary from the target value. If a separate measurement of the total organic HAP content using the methods specified in paragraphs (a)(i) through (iv) of this condition is less than 2 percentage points higher than the value for total organic HAP content provided by the material supplier or manufacturer, then the Permittee may use the provided value to demonstrate compliance. If the measured total organic HAP content exceeds the provided value by 2 percentage points or more, then the Permittee must use the measured organic HAP content to determine compliance.

vi. Solvent blends. Solvent blends may be listed as single components for some regulated materials in certifications provided by manufacturers or suppliers. Solvent blends may contain organic HAP which must be counted toward the total organic HAP content of the materials. When detailed organic HAP content data for solvent blends are not available, the Permittee may use the values for organic HAP content that are listed in Table 5 or 6 as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV. The Permittee may use Table 6 as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, only if the solvent blends in the materials the Permittee use do not match any of the solvent blends in Table 5 as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, and the Permittee know only whether the blend is either aliphatic or aromatic. However, if test results indicate higher values than those listed in Table 5 or 6 as contained in 40 CFR 63 subpart VVVV, then the test results must be used for determining compliance.

14. 40 CFR 63.5764 What Reports Must Be Submitted And When?

a. The Permittee must submit the applicable reports specified in paragraphs (b) through (c) of this condition. To the extent possible, the Permittee must organize each report according to the operations covered by this subpart and the compliance procedure followed for that operation.

I.A. Reporting Requirements for Excess Emissions and Permit Deviations

[15A NCAC 2D .0535(f) and 2Q .0508(f)(3)]

“Excess Emissions” - means an emission rate that exceeds any applicable emission limitation or standard allowed by any rule in Sections .0500, .0900, .1200, or .1400 of Subchapter 2D; or by a permit condition; or that exceeds an emission limit established in a permit issued under 15A NCAC 2Q .0700. (Note: Definitions of excess emissions under 2D .1110 and 2D .1111 shall apply where defined by rule.)

“Deviations” - any action or condition not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit including those attributable to upset conditions, but not including excess emissions as defined above.

Excess Emissions

1. If a source is required to report excess emissions under NSPS (15A NCAC 2D .0524), NESHAPS (15A NCAC 2D .1110 or .1111), or the operating permit provides for periodic (e.g., quarterly) reporting of excess emissions, reporting shall be performed as prescribed therein.

2. If the source is not subject to NSPS (15A NCAC 2D .0524), NESHAPS (15A NCAC 2D .1110 or .1111), or these rules do NOT define "excess emissions," the Permittee shall report excess emissions in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D .0535. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0535, if excess emissions last for more than four hours resulting from a malfunction, a breakdown of process or control equipment, or any other abnormal condition, the owner or operator shall:

a. notify the Regional Supervisor or Director of any such occurrence by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time of the Division’s next business day of becoming aware of the occurrence and provide:

i. name and location of the facility;

ii. nature and cause of the malfunction or breakdown;

iii. time when the malfunction or breakdown is first observed;

iv. expected duration; and

v. estimated rate of emissions;

b. notify the Regional Supervisor or Director immediately when corrected measures have been accomplished; and

c. submit, if requested, to the Regional Supervisor or Director within 15 days after the request a written report as described in 15A NCAC 2D .0535(f)(3).

Permit Deviations

3. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0508(f)(3 the Permittee shall report deviations or excess emissions lasting for less than or equal to four hours from permit requirements (terms and conditions). The Permittee shall notify the Regional Supervisor or Director of all other deviations from permit requirements not covered under 15A NCAC 2D .0535 on the next business day after becoming aware of the deviation. A written report shall be submitted within two business days to the Regional Supervisor and shall include the probable cause of such deviation and any corrective actions or preventative actions taken. A responsible official shall certify all reports of deviations from permit requirements.

I.B. Other Requirements under 15A NCAC 2D .0535

The Permittee shall comply with all other applicable requirements contained in 15A NCAC 2D .0535, including 15A NCAC 2D .0535(c) as follows: Any excess emissions that do not occur during start-up and shut-down shall be considered a violation of the appropriate rule unless the owner or operator of the sources demonstrates to the Director, that the excess emissions are a result of a malfunction. The Director shall consider, along with any other pertinent information, the criteria contained in 15A NCAC 2D .0535(c)(1) through (7). [Note that 15A NCAC 2D .0535(g) is state-enforceable only.]

J. Emergency Provisions [40 CFR  70.6 (g)]

The Permittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:

1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of the facility, including acts of God, which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore normal operation, and that causes the facility to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of preventive maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error.

2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3. below are met.

3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that include information as follows:

a. an emergency occurred and the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the emergency;

b. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;

c. during the period of the emergency the Permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the standards or other requirements in the permit; and

d. the Permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the DAQ within two working days of the time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This notice must contain a description of the emergency, steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
