 See Condition 5 of this permit for specific requirements and frequency of VOC and HAP recordkeeping for the VOC and HAP emission limit caps in Condition 1.


2.  Compliance Demonstration(s) (Continued)

If an initial stack test is specified in the "Compliance Demonstration Table," the owner or the owner's authorized agent shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations contained in Condition 1 within the applicable time period specified below:

 Within sixty (60) days after achieving the maximum production rate and no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial startup date of the proposed equipment for the addition of new equipment or the physical modification of existing equipment or control equipment.
 Within ninety (90) days of the issuance of this permit if there is no physical modification to any emission units or control equipment.

If any additional stack testing beyond an initial test (i.e. quarterly, semi-annual, annual, etc.) is required in "Compliance Demonstration Table," the owner or the owner's authorized agent shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations contained in Condition 1 as specified in the "Compliance Demonstration Table."  See Conditions 12.A.(4) and 12.B.(5) for notification and reporting requirements.

If stack testing is required, the owner or the owner's authorized agent shall use the test method and run time listed in the "Compliance Demonstration Table" unless another testing methodology is approved by the Department prior to testing. 

Each emissions compliance test must be approved by the Department.  Unless otherwise specified by the Department, each test shall consist of three (3) separate runs.  The arithmetic mean of three (3) acceptable test runs shall apply for compliance, unless otherwise indicated by the Department.  

Per 567 IAC 25.1(7)"a", at the Department's request, a pretest meeting shall be held not later than fifteen (15) days before the owner or operator conducts the compliance demonstration.  A testing protocol shall be submitted to the Department no later than fifteen (15) days before the owner or operator conducts the compliance demonstration.  Representatives from the Department shall attend this meeting, along with the owner and the testing firm, if any.  It shall be the responsibility of the owner to coordinate and schedule the pretest meeting.  A representative of the Department shall be allowed to witness the test(s).  The Department shall reserve the right to impose additional, different, or more detailed testing requirements.

The owner shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of test ports.  The unit(s) being sampled shall be operated in a normal manner at its maximum continuous output as rated by the equipment manufacturer, or the rate specified by the owner as the maximum production rate at which this unit(s) will be operated. In cases where compliance is to be demonstrated at less than the maximum continuous output as rated by the manufacturer, and it is the owner's intent to limit the capacity to that rating, the owner may submit evidence to the Department that this unit(s) has been physically altered so that capacity cannot be exceeded, or the Department may require additional testing, continuous monitoring, reports of operating levels, or any other information deemed necessary by the Department to determine whether this unit(s) is in compliance.


3.  Emission Point Characteristics

This emission point shall conform to the specifications listed below:

                                   Parameter
                                     Value
Stack Height (feet from the ground)
50 feet
Discharge Style
Vertical Unobstructed
Stack Outlet Dimensions (inches)
30 inches
Exhaust Temperature ([o]F)
70
Exhaust Flowrate (scfm)
12,000 scfm

The temperature and flowrate are intended to be representative and characteristic of the design of the permitted emission point.  The Department recognizes that the temperature and flow rate may vary with changes in the process and ambient conditions.  If it is determined that any of the emission point characteristics above are different than the values stated, the owner or operator shall submit a request either by electronic mail or written correspondence to the Department within thirty (30) days of the discovery to determine if a permit amendment is required, or submit a permit application requesting to amend the permit.


4.  Federal Standards

 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS):

This emission unit is not subject to any NSPS subparts at this time as there are no applicable subparts for its source category.

      NOTE:  The absence of the inclusion of any NSPS requirements as part of this permit does not relieve the owner or operator from any obligation to comply with all applicable NSPS conditions.

 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP):
      This facility is of the source category for Subpart PPPP  -  Surface Coating of Plastic Parts and Products (40 CFR §63.4480- 40 CFR §63.4581) of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).  However, this emission unit is not subject because the facility is an area source of HAP at this time and Subpart PPPP is only applicable to major sources of HAP.

This facility is of the source category for Subpart HHHHHH (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources; 40 CFR §63.11169  -  §63.11180). However, this facility does not perform any paint stripping using methylene chloride or perform any spray application of coatings that contain target HAP, as defined in §63.11180 (coating containing compounds of chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni) or cadmium (Cd)), and therefore, per 40 CFR §63.11170, is not subject to the Subpart. 

      NOTE:  Failure to include any NESHAP requirements as a part of this permit does not relieve the owner or operator from the obligation to comply with all applicable NESHAP conditions.
      
      

5.  Operating Requirements with Associated Monitoring and Recordkeeping

Unless specified by a federal regulation, all records as required by this permit shall be kept on-site for a minimum of two (2) years and shall be available for inspection by the Department.  Records shall be legible and maintained in an orderly manner.  The operating requirements and associated recordkeeping for this permit shall be:

      Daily recordkeeping/calculations for cumulative HAP emissions shall continue until the rolling 12-month total amount of cumulative HAP emissions drops below 18.0 tons on the last day of a month. Monthly calculation of cumulative HAP emissions will then begin in the following month.   

       The permittee may take credit for any waste VOC shipped off-site. The permittee shall record the amount of the waste shipped off-site each day, and analyze the VOC content of the waste once every calendar quarter.  The sample analyzed shall be taken as a representative sample (as defined in 40 CFR §260.10) of the waste sent off-site for that quarter and shall be used as representative until the subsequent quarter's analysis is received.  The credit (calculated from the most current analysis and the amount shipped off-site) may be subtracted from the VOC rolling totals as of the date the waste is shipped off-site. 

       The owner or operator shall maintain the Dry Filters according to the manufacturer's specifications and maintenance schedule.
          The owner or operator shall maintain a copy of the manufacture's specifications and instructions.
