The owner or operator of a green tire spraying operation at a pneumatic rubber tire manufacturing source shall:

a)         Install and operate:

1)         A capture system with a minimum capture efficiency of 90 percent by weight of VOM; and

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

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

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

C)        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.

b)         Substitute for the normal solvent-based mold release compound water-based sprays containing:

1)         No more than five percent by volume of VOM as applied for the inside of tires;

2)         No more than ten percent by volume of VOM as applied for the outside of tires.
