Section 215.406  Alternative Compliance Plan

The owner or operator of an emission source subject to this Subpart may in lieu of compliance with Sections 215.405 and 215.407 demonstrate compliance through the use of a low solvent ink program by taking the following actions:

a)         Submit to the Agency a compliance plan, including a compliance completion schedule, by December 31, 1983 which demonstrates:

1)         Substantial emission reductions early in the compliance schedule;

2)         Greater reductions in emissions than would have occurred without a low solvent ink program; and

3)         Final compliance as expeditiously as possible but no later than December 31, 1987; and

b)         Certify to the Agency that:

1)         A low solvent ink compliance strategy is not technically available which would enable the emission source to achieve compliance by the date specified in Section 215.405; and

2)         An unreasonable economic burden would be incurred if the owner or operator were required to demonstrate compliance by the date specified in Section 215.405; and

c)         Agree to install one of the control alternatives specified in Section 215.401(c) by June 31, 1986 if the specified low-solvent ink strategy fails to achieve scheduled reductions by December 31, 1985.
