1) An alternative daily emission limitation for the can coating operation, i.e., for all of the can coating lines at the source, must be determined according to subsection (c)(2). Actual daily emissions must never exceed the alternative daily emission limitation and must be calculated by use of the following equation.

where:

E_d	=	Actual VOM emissions for the day in units of kg/day (lbs/day);

i	=	Subscript denoting a specific coating applied;

n	=	Total number of coatings applied in the can coating operation, i.e., all can coating lines at the source;

V_i	=	Volume of each coating applied for the day in units of l/day (gal/day) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM);

C_i	=	The VOM content of each coating as applied in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM).

2) The alternative daily emission limitation (A_d) must be determined for the can coating operation, i.e., for all of the can coating lines at the source, on a daily basis as follows:

where:

A_d	=	The VOM emissions allowed for the day in units of kg/day (lbs/day);

i	=	Subscript denoting a specific coating applied;

n	=	Total number of surface coatings applied in the can coating operation;

C_i	=	The VOM content of each surface coating as applied in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM);

D_i	=	The density of VOM in each coating applied. For the purposes of calculating A_d, the density is 0.882 kg VOM/l VOM (7.36 lbs VOM/gal VOM);

V_i	=	Volume of each surface coating applied for the day in units of l (gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM);
