PART 219 ORGANIC MATERIAL EMISSION STANDARDS AND LIMITATIONS FOR THE METRO EAST AREA
SECTION 219.204 EMISSION LIMITATIONS


 

Section 219.204  Emission Limitations

 

Except as provided in Sections 219.205, 219.207, 219.208, 219.212, 219.215 and 219.216, an owner or operator of a coating line must not apply at any time any coating in which the VOM content exceeds the following emission limitations for the specified coating. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (a), (c), (g), (h), (j), (l), (n), (o), (q), and (r), compliance with the emission limitations marked with an asterisk in this Section is required on and after March 15, 1996, and compliance with emission limitations not marked with an asterisk is required until March 15, 1996. The following emission limitations are expressed in units of VOM per volume of coating (minus water and any compounds which are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM) as applied at each coating applicator, except where noted. Compounds which are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM should be treated as water for the purpose of calculating the "less water" part of the coating composition. Compliance with this Subpart must be demonstrated through the applicable coating analysis test methods and procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(c) except where noted. (Note:  The equation presented in Section 219.206 must be used to calculate emission limitations for determining compliance by add-on controls, credits for transfer efficiency, emissions trades and cross-line averaging.) The emission limitations are as follows:

BOARD NOTE:  The primer surface coat limitation is in units of kg (lbs) of VOM per l (gal) of coating solids deposited. Compliance with the limitation must be based on the daily-weighted average from an entire primer surface operation.  Compliance must be demonstrated in accordance with the topcoat protocol referenced in Section 219.105(b)(1)(A) and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(f). Testing to demonstrate compliance must be performed in accordance with the topcoat protocol and a detailed testing proposal approved by the Agency and USEPA specifying the method of demonstrating compliance with the protocol. Section 219.205 does not apply to the primer surface limitation.

The viscosity of the coating in each reservoir must always be greater than or equal to the viscosity of the initial coating in the reservoir. The owner or operator must:

 

i)          Monitor the viscosity of the coating in the reservoir with a viscosity meter or by testing the viscosity of the initial coating and retesting the coating in the reservoir each time solvent is added;

 

ii)         Collect and record the reservoir viscosity and the amount and weight of VOM per weight of solids of coating and solvent each time coating or solvent is added; and

o)        Flat Wood Paneling Coatings. On and after August 1, 2010, flat wood paneling coatings must comply with one of the following limitations:

 

1)         0.25 kg VOM/l of coatings (2.1 lb VOM/gal coatings); or

 

2)        0.35 kg VOM/l solids (2.9 lb VOM/gal solids).

 

BOARD NOTE:  The Board has omitted subsection (p) and adopted a subsection (q) in order to preserve consistent labeling with similar requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.

 

q)         Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Coatings and Plastic Parts and Products Coatings On and After May 1, 2012.  On and after May 1, 2012, the owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal or plastic parts coating line must comply with the limitations in subsection (q).  The limitations in subsection (q) do not apply to aerosol coating products, powder coatings, or primer sealants and ejection cartridge sealants used in ammunition manufacturing.  Primer sealants and ejection cartridge sealants are regulated under Subpart TT. 

 

1)         Metal Parts and Products.  For purposes of subsection (q)(1), "corrosion resistant basecoat" means a water-borne epoxy coating applied via an electrodeposition process to a metal surface prior to spray coating, for the purpose of enhancing corrosion resistance.    The limitations in this subsection (q)(1) do not apply to stencil coats, safety-indicating coatings, solid-film lubricants, electric-insulating and thermal-conducting coatings, magnetic data storage disk coatings, and plastic extruded onto metal parts to form a coating.  The limitations in Section 219.219 apply to these coatings unless specifically excluded.
