The owner or operator of an undertread cementing, treadend cementing or bead dipping operation at a pneumatic rubber tire manufacturing source shall install and operate:

a)         A capture system, with minimum capture efficiency of 65 percent by weight of VOM for treadend cementing or bead dipping operations and a capture system with a minimum capture efficiency of 55.5 percent by weight of VOM for undertread cementing; and

b)         A control device that meets the requirements of one of the following:

1)         A carbon adsorption system designed and operated in a manner such that there is at least a 90 percent removal of VOM by weight from the gases ducted to the control device;

2)         An afterburning system that oxidizes at least 90 percent of the captured nonmethane VOMs (VOM measured as total combustible carbon) to carbon dioxide and water; and

3)         An alternative VOM emission reduction system demonstrated to have at least a 90 percent overall reduction efficiency and approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision.
