IN THE MATTER OF:
DEFINITION
OF VOLATILE
)
R86—37
ORGANIC MATERIAL,
SECTION 215.104
ADOPTED RULE.
FINAL NOTICE.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D.
Dumelle):
This matter comes before the Board upon proposed amendments
to 35
Ill.
Adm.
Code 211 and 215
filed
on behalf of
the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (Agency).
The original Agency
proposal
for redefining
the term “volatile organic material”
(VOM)
as defined
in Section 215.104 was presented
in the R82—14
Heatset Web Offset Lithography proceeding
at hearing held April
1,
1986.
Pursuant to Board Interim Opinion and Order, dated
September
11, 1986,
the VOM definition portion was severed from
R82—l4 and given
a new docket.
The new docket,
R86—37, contained
the original
(as proposed
in R82—l4)
Agency proposal, which was
amended
at hearing held March
2,
1987,
in Chicago.
A second
hearing was held March
3,
1987,
in Waukegan.
The Agency filed
a
second amended proposal on May~7, 1987,
and a third amended
proposal on June
8, 1987.
The third and
final hearing was held
June 30,
1987.
On July 16,
1987, the Board adopted
an Order sending the
Agency’s proposed amendments
to First Notice.
At that time,
the
Board
took
no position on the merits of
the Agency’s proposal.
The Board’s action was founded upon
its concern that the
proceeding progress as quickly as possible
so as
to comply with
the time requirements imposed by the Clean Air Act.
The
Department
of Energy and Natural
Resources filed
a negative
declaration on August
26,
1987,
and the Economic and Technical
Advisory Committee concurred with that declaration on September
30,
1987.
The proposed amendments
were published at
11 Ill.
Reg.
13788 and 13812 on August
21,
1987.
The statutory 45—day comment
period ended on October
5,
1987.
Non—substantive
comments were
received
from the Secretary of State’s Administrative Code Unit
regarding form and format of the proposed rules.
Those changes
were made
at Second Notice.
Three substantive comments were
filed
in this proceeding:
Croda Inks Corporation
(Croda)
filed
Public Comment No.
1 on May 27,
1987; World Color Press,
Inc.
(World Color)
filed Public Comment No.
2 on October
5,
1987;
and
Amoco Corporation
(Amoco)
filed Public Comment No.
3 on October
6,
1987.
On October
23,
1987,
the Board adopted the Second
84—777
—2—
Notice Opinion and Order,
and sent the proposed regulations
to
the Joint Committee
on Administrative Rules
(JCAR)
for review.
BACKGROUND
The regulations are intended
to correct deficiencies
in the
Illinois State Implementation Plan
(SIP)
which have been
identified
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA).
The deficiency
in the present definitions of VOM
is
that the definitions specify
a minimum vapor pressure which
an
organic material must possess
to qualify as
a volatile organic
material.
This approach
is not consistent with USEPA’s current
approach to “organic precursors
to ozone.”
The current concerns
are
(1) whether the organic substance is emitted to the
atmosphere
in
a gaseous form so that it
is available to react to
form ozone,
and
(2) whether the chemical nature
of the substance
is such that
it
is reactive.
Under USEPA terminology,
if an
organic substance meets these criteria, the substance is, by
definition,
“volatile”.
DEFINITION OF VOM
The Agency proposal deleted any reference to vapor pressure
in its definition of VOM except
for those
sources of VOM for
which the vapor pressure criterion is needed to specify the
emission limitation.
The Agency definition
for VOM
is based on a
USEPA document, “Guidance
to State and Local Agencies
in
Preparing Regulations
to Control Volatile Organic Compounds from
Ten Stationary Source Categories”
submitted as Exhibit
2 and
follows the definition of “volatile organic compound”
(VOC)
at
40
CFR 60.2.
The Agency’s proposed definition and
that adopted
at
First Notice
read:
any
organic
material
which
participates
in
atmospheric
photochemical
reactions
or
is
measured
by
the
applicable
reference methods
specified
under
Part
230,
Appendix
A,
unless
specifically exempted from this definition.
Eleven VOMs
are specifically
identified as being exempt from
the definition.
By the above definition, an organic material
is
a VOM if
(1)
it participates
in atmospheric photochemical
reactions or
(2)
it can be measured
in accordance with reference
methods
in Part 230, Appendix A (i.e., 40 CFR 60, Appendix A).
This definition
is based
on USEPA guidance and terminology which
labels any organic substance as a volatile organic substance or
VOM whose chemical nature and availability, when emitted
into the
atmosphere
in
a gaseous form, allows
its participation
in
reactions to
form ozone.
The presumption
in USEPA’s terminology
is that the criterion of reactivity
to form ozone
is satisfied by
all organic compounds unless specifically exempted.
This intent
is contained
in the
first aspect of the Agency proposed
84—778
—3—
definition.
However,
the Agency proposed definition also makes
an organic material’s measurability
in accordance with
a set of
reference methods
a criterion for calling
it
a VOM.
Since the
measurability criterion alone is insufficient
to determine
whether
an organic material will participate
in
a photochemical
reaction, the Board believes that the second aspect should be
separated.
In fact,
a USEPA memorandum from G.T.
Helms, Chief, Control
Programs Operations Branch,
to all
the Regions on the definition
of VOC
(referred
to as VOM
in Illinois) submitted
as Exhibit
11
contains USEPA’s recommended definition that would also be
approved.
In this recommendation,
the methods by which VOC may
be measured are stated but are not made
a criterion for
determining
if the organic compound
is
a VOM.
Chris Romaine, who
testified on behalf of the Agency,
also stated that “the body of
Test Methods cited
in the proposed definitions were devised
specifically to measure or
predict gaseous emissions of organic
substances”
(R.
27 at June 30,
1987,
hearing).
Thus,
the record
established that the reference methods measure concentrations and
do not determine reactivity.
The Board separated these two
aspects
at Second Notice.
The Board
is concerned that the proposed language “an
organic material which participates
in atmospheric photochemical
reactions”
is overly broad
and may
include such particulates as
soot, coal dust and grain dust.
The Board believes that these
types of particulates, i.e.
solid
organic compounds, were not
intended
to be bro~ghtwithin the definition of VOM.
The Board
finds support for this position
in the testimony of Chris Romaine
(R.
32—33
at June
30,
1987, hearing).
Mr. Romaine
testified that
a term was needed
to distinguish the solid organic compounds
(i.e.
soot, coal dust, grain dust,
etc.)
from organic compounds
present
in the atmosphere
in
a gaseous
or volatilized state which
may participate
in photochemical ozone reactions.
Mr.
Romaine
continued:
as
already
explained,
the
term
organic
compound
or
organic
material
does
not
make
this
distinction,
(although
this
result
is
achieved
in
the
context
of
specific
regulations).
The
term
volatile
organic
compounds
does
make
the
distinction
between
gaseous
or
volatilized
materials
and
other
materials.
The
volatile
organic
compounds
became the label
for the air contaminant which
is
the
organic
precursor
to
ozone
formation.
(R.
33 at June 30,
1987, hearing).
Although the Board did not amend the proposed language at
Second Notice,
the Board
interprets
the language “an organic
material which participates
in photochemical reactions”
as
84—779
—4—
excluding materials, such
as soot,
coal dust, grain dust,
etc.,
which are not volatilized
into the atmosphere.
DEFINITIONS
OF “GAS SERVICE” AND “LIQUID SERVICE”
The Agency proposed
to amend the definitions
of “gas
service” and “liquid service”.
The Agency’s proposed definitions
delete the
terms “equipment”
and “volatile organic material”.
Instead, “Component”, which
is presently defined
in Sections
211.122 and 215.104,
is used
in the Agency’s proposed definitions
to be more specific and
to be consistent with the federal
definitions (see
R.
64—67
at June
30,
1987,
hearing).
The
definitions
of “gas service” and “liquid service” were not
changed at Second Notice.
In response
to comments received from
JCAR,
“equipment” was added
back into the definition of “liquid
service”.
The language now reads
“equipment or component”.
DEFINITION OF “VOLATILE ORGANIC LIQUID”
The Agency proposed
to add
a definition of “volatile organic
liquid”.
This definition
is developed from the definition of
volatile organic liquid found at
40 CFR 60.lllb(k)
(52 Fed. Reg.
11430).
The Agency recognized
the effect of deleting the vapor
pressure criteria, previously used in defining VOM, when the
vapor pressure of a volatile organic substance is properly
related
to the applicability of an emission limitation.
The
definition
for VOM is
as an air contaminant
or
as
a potential air
contaminant.
In order
to maintain this definition, the Agency
has proposed the
term “volatile organic liquid”.
The explanation
for the introduction of this term
is included along with some
examples of its application
in the transcript
(R.
42—47
at June
30,
1987, hearing).
The Agency definition
is “any liquid which
contains volatile organic material.”
TESTING METHODS
The Agency pro-posed
to amend Section 215.102, Testing
Methods,
to add
a subsection on the measurement of vapor
pressures.
In the Second Notice Order,
the Board noted
that
a
concurrent proceeding, R86—lO, Emission Standards and Limitations
for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plants, also considered proposed
amendments
to Section 215.102.
Early
in that proceeding,
language was proposed identical
to that adopted here at first
notice.
Subsequent
to the First Notice order,
however, language
was added in R86—lO
to clarify
(1)
“other standard reference
tests” and
(2)
the methods by which actual vapor pressures
shall
be determined
for mixtures.
Unlike the record
in this
proceeding, the record
in R86—lO
included substantial discussion
of these
issues, especially number
(2).
For
these reasons,
the
Board deemed
it appropriate at Second Notice
to incorporate into
proposed Section 215.102 of this proceeding the clarifying
language proposed
in R86—lO.
This also maintained consistency
84—780
—5—
between the two proceedings and put the regulated community and
the public on notice that this section
is also being amended
in
R86—lO.
During Second Notice, JCAR expressed
its view that the
language
of Section 2l5.102(b)(l), as written,
included an
improper series of incorporations by reference.
In particular,
JCAR stated
that the texts
cited
for use
in obtaining vapor
pressure are not proper sources for incorporation by reference.
Thus,
subsection (b)(l) was rewritten to avoid
the
characterization of the
texts as incorporations by reference.
PUBLIC COMMENT
This section sets forth the public comments and Board
responses
from the Second Notice Opinion:
Amoco
(P.C.
No.
3)
filed comments on the measurement
procedure
for
a mixture of organic materials.
Amoco questions
the use of the calculations specified
in Section 215.102(b)(2)(A)
and
(B)
and suggests that an approved American Society
of Testing
and Materials
(ASTM) method be specified
instead.
However, Amoco
does not indicate which ASTM method(s)
would be applicable to
a
mixture.
Although the Board agrees that an applicable ASTM
testing method would be appropriate for incorporation
in addition
to the methods specified at second notice,
the time constraints
associated with this proceeding do not permit the Board to
conduct its own research to discover applicable ASTM test methods
at this time.
The Board
notes that
a
faciltty may seek usage
of
an applicable ASTM method via site—specific rulemaking
or other
means.
Croda submits
in Public Comment No. ithat
the Agency
proposed VOM definition does not specify which laboratory
test(s), from among
the reference test methods
in 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A,
is appropriate
to use for
a given application.
Croda
suggests that
a list of methods applicable
to each industry or
category be developed.
The discussion on the definition of VOM
has shown that
the Agency intends VOM
to refer primarily to
gaseous contaminants.
The Agency would specify those methods
which are applicable
to
a specific source and are necessary for
determining the quantity of VOM emissions arising from that
source.
The Agency has conceded that VOM emissions from some
sources such as wastewater treatment plant aeration lagoons,
cooling towers etc. are not easily measurable.
In such cases,
a
mass
(material)
balance calculation
is performed to estimate
emissions
(R.
71—73 at March
2,
1987, hearing).
The Board has
included the use of mass balance calculation as an option
for
measurement of VOMs at second notice.
The record does not contain sufficient information
to
include
a comprehensive list of
reference methods applicable
to
84— 78 1
—6—
each industry category or
source.
Dr. Reed testified
and
submitted
a USEPA memo
(Ex.
6), dated September 14,
1984,
which
lists
the VOC
(same
as VOM in Illinois)
test methods
or
procedures
for source categories
in Group
I,
II and III Control
Techniques Guidelines
(CTG5).
Sources not covered by CTGs are
not included
in the list.
With the existing set of test methods
and the guidance that is available from such documents as Exhibit
6 and the manual
referenced by Croda entitled, “Procedures
for
Certifying Quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds Admitted by
Paint,
Ink and Other Coatings” (EPA—450/3—84—019),
the Board
believes that there
is no special need
to include
a specific list
of test methods for each industry as part of this regulation.
In addition to
their previous comments on testing methods,
Amoco
in Public Comment No.
3 states that
a minimum vapor
pressure should be established
to exempt heavy non—volatile
materials.
The intent of the proposed VOM definition is
to
include all organic materials that might volatilize (i.e.,
vaporize)
if the operating temperature of the process involved
is
sufficiently high.
Thus, even “heavy, non—volatile materials”
may in fact be volatile and become available for participation in
atmospheric photochemical reactions.
Therefore,
the use of
a
minimum vapor pressure cutoff
for certain organic materials would
defeat the purpose for which the definition
is being proposed.
World Color
Press
in Public Comment No.
2 takes exception to
the proposed definition of VOM and suggests that the proposed
rule does not take into account the difference between volatility
and photochemical reactivity
or the differences
in reactivity of
substances.
The proposed
rule is
a conservative rule in that
a
presumption has been made that all substances which volatilize
are available for participation
in photochemical reactions in the
atmosphere.
It
is certainly recognized that some organic
compounds are more reactive than others as evidenced by the list
of substances exempted from the definition of VOM.
Present
understanding of the chemical mechanisms involved
in the
production of ozone from hydrocarbon precursors
is not
complete.
It
is also
a
formidable task
to test each organic
compound
to see
if
it contributes
to ozone formation.
The
present list of compounds exempted
from the VOM definition have
in fact been developed by USEPA.
With regard
to the issue of
the
heatset web offset ink oils
(ink solvents),,
a great deal
of
information on the ink solvent’s volatility and reactivity was
presented in the R82—l4 hearings, and the Board
in its October
1,
1987,
final
order regulating
that industry stated
that “based
on this
record, the Board cannot accept P11’s
(Printing Industry
of Illinois) argument that
a significant portion of the emissions
are not available for ozone formation.”
It was,
in fact, because
ink solvents are not defined
as VOMs according
to existing
definition of VOM at 35
Ill.
Adm. Code 211.122 and 215.104 that
the Agency chose
to redefine the definition
so
as
to include all
VOMs that
are likely to contribute
to ozone formation.
84—782
—7—
A second issue
raised by World Color Press
in Public Comment
No.
2 concerns the mechanism by which substances can be added
to
the VOM exemption list.
They have correctly pointed
out that no
criteria have been set for nominating
and showing that
a
substance
is excludable from the definition of VOM.
This issue
was addressed
in questions posed
to the Agency at the June 30,
1987, hearing
(R.
67—72).
The Agency stated that
a proposal
would have
to be made to the Board
to amend
the definition of VOM
and that the
record presented before the Board
in such
a
proceeding would probably involve USEPA experts
in determinations
involving exemptions of specific compounds from the definition of
VOM.
Specific, well documented scientific evidence
for each
substance nominated
for exemption from the VOM definition would
need
to be presented
in
a Board proceeding.
INCORPORATIONS BY REFERENCE
Certain materials have been incorporated
into the proposed
amendments by reference.
The Board
notes that in the Second
Notice Order
it formally incorporated the materials into the
incorporations by reference section, Section 211.101 and
indicated after each text reference where
the material was
incorporated.
The Board
took this action at Second Notice to
satisfy the requirements of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
Act and
of
1
Ill. Adm. Code 220.760.
JCAR,
however,
stated its
position that amendment may not be made to
a section at Second
Notice that was
not proposed for amendment at First Notice.
Therefore,
the language necessary to properly incorporate the
materials by reference has been added
in the text of t~hesections
incorporating the materials by reference, and Section 211.101
is
no longer proposed
for amendment.
Finally, the Board
notes that
in Subsection
(a)
of the
definition of VOM,
the reference
to
“Part 230, Appendix A” has
been amended
to
40 CFR 60, Appendix
A,
1986
(no future amendments
or editions are included).”
The Board believes that 40 CFR 60
is
the more appropriate
cite.
Prior
to recent amendment of the
Illinois Environmental Protection Act,
the Board was required
to
adopt
rules
in substance identical with federal regulations
promulgated by the USEPA to implement Sections 111 and 112 of the
Clean Air Act.
The Board adopted those
rules
into 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 230 and 231.
As the incorporation of regulations of
a
state
Agency are not subject
to the rules of the Joint Committee on
Administrative Rules regarding incorporations by reference,
citation
to Part 230 offered
a mechanism by which
to incorporate
40 CFR 60 without limiting the incorporation
to
a certain date.
In other words, citation to Part 230 rendered amendments to 40
CFR 60 applicable upon peremptory amendment to Part 230 whereas
citation directly to
40 CFR 60
as of
a certain date precluded
application of amendments subsequent to that date absent
amendment
through regular rulemaking procedures.
However,
because the General Assembly amended Section 9.1 of the
84—783
—8—
Environmental Protection Act
(P.A.
85—719)
the Board
is no longer
authorized to adopt the rules identical in substance with
Sections 111 and
112
of the Clean Air Act.
Thus,
the purpose
underlying citation
to Part 230 no longer
exists.
Therefore,
the
Board will cite directly to
40 CFR
60, Appendix A,
as of the most
recent edition,
1986, and will incorporate
it via the incorpora—
tions by reference section, Section 215.105.
This approach also
permits more efficient updating as new editions of the CFR become
available.

of the Pollution Control Board
is hereby directed

Measurement
of Vapor Pressures
1)
For
a single—component,
the actual vapor pressure
shall
be determined
by ASTM
(American Society of
Testing
and Materials)
Method D—2789—83
(Approved
1983),
incorporated by reference
in Section
215.105,
or the vapor pressure may be obtained from
a published source such
as:
Boublik, T.,
V.
Fried
and E. Hala,
“The Vapor
Pressure of Pure
Substances,” Elsevier Scientific Publishing Co.,
New York (1973),
Perry’s Chemical Engineer’s
Handbook, McGraw—Hill Book Company (1984),
CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, Chemical Rubber
Publishing Company (1986—87),
Lange’s Handbook of
Chemistry,
John A.
Dean, editor, McGraw—Hill Book
Company (1985).
2)
For
a mixture,
the actual
vapor pressure shall
be
taken as:
-
A)
If the vapor pressure of the organic material
or volatile organic material
is not specified
in the applicable rule,
the lesser
of
the sum
of the actual vapor pressure of each component
or each volatile organic material component,
as determined
above, weighted by its mole
fraction; or
B)
If the vapor pressure
of the organic material
or volatile organic material
is specified
in
the applicable rule,
the sum of the actual
vapor pressure of each such component as
determined above weighted by its mole
fraction.
