Section 218.411  Recordkeeping and Reporting for Lithographic Printing

 

a)         An owner or operator of lithographic printing line(s) exempt from the limitations of Section 218.407 of this Subpart because of the criteria in Section 218.405(d) of this Subpart shall comply with the following:

 

1)         By March 15, 1996, upon initial start-up of a new lithographic printing line, and upon modification of a lithographic printing line, submit a certification to the Agency that includes:

 

A)        A declaration that the source is exempt from the control requirements in Section 218.407 of this Part because of the criteria in Section 218.405(d) of this Subpart;

 

B)        Calculations which demonstrate that combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines (including inks, fountain solutions, and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) at the source never exceed 45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day) before the use of capture systems and control devices, as follows:

 

i)          To calculate daily emissions of VOM, the owner or operator shall determine the monthly emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines at the source (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) and divide this amount by the number of days during that calendar month that lithographic printing lines at the source were in operation;

 

ii)         To determine the VOM content of the inks, fountain solution additives and cleaning solvents, the tests methods and procedures set forth in Section 218.409(c) of this Subpart shall be used;

 

iii)         To determine VOM emissions from inks used on lithographic printing line(s) at the source, an ink emission adjustment factor of 0.05 shall be used in calculating emissions from all non-heatset inks except when using an impervious substrate, and a factor of 0.80 shall be used in calculating emissions from all heatset inks to account for VOM retention in the substrate except when using an impervious substrate.  For impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no emission adjustment factor is used.  The VOM content of the ink, as used, shall be multiplied by this factor to determine the amount of VOM emissions from the use of ink on the printing line(s); and

 

iv)        To determine VOM emissions from fountain solutions and cleaning solvents used on lithographic printing line(s) at the source, no retention factor is used;

 

C)        Either a declaration that the source, through federally enforceable permit conditions, has limited its maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all heatset web offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with heatset web offset printing lines) at the source to no more than 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices or calculations which demonstrate that the source's total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM do not exceed 90.7 Mg/yr (100 TPY).  To determine the source's total maximum theoretical emissions for the purposes of this subsection, the owner or operator shall use the calculations set forth in Section 218.406(b)(1)(A)(ii) of this Subpart; and

 

D)        A description and the results of all tests used to determine the VOM content of inks, fountain solution additives, and cleaning solvents, and a declaration that all such tests have been properly conducted in accordance with Section 218.409(c)(1) of this Subpart;
