OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
This matter comes before the Board on the November 14, 1994
filing by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
of a proposal for rulemaking. The proposal is intended to
implement portions of the federal Clean Air Act.
Section 182(b) (1) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7511(b) (1)) requires all moderate and above ozone nonattainnient
areas to achieve a 15 reduction of 1990 emissions of volatile
organic material (VOM) by 1996. The Chicago and Metro-East St.
Louis areas are classified as “severe” and “moderate”
nonattainment for ozone, respectively, and are subject to the 15
reduction requirement. Today’s proposal represents Part VII of
the rulemakings anticipated in Illinois’ 15 Rate of Progress
Plan and one part of Illinois’ submittal of a complete state
implementation plan (SIP) for the control of ozone. Today’s
proposal seeks to amend 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218 and 219.
The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/1 et seq. (1992)).
The Board is charged therein to “determine, define and implement
the environmental control standards applicable in the State of
Illinois” (415 ILCS 5/5(b)). This proposal was filed pursuant to
Section 28.5 of the Act as a fast—track rulemaking proceeding.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5 (1992).) Section 28.5 of the Act requires the
Board to proceed with rulemaking under set time—frames. The
Board has no discretion to adjust these time—frames under any
circumstances.
Today the Board acts to adopt this rule as final and send
the amendments to the Administrative Code Division of the
Secretary of State’s office for publication and assignment of an
effective date pursuant to Section 5 of the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA). (5 ILCS 100/1005—40 (1992).)

PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Act, the Board on November
18, 1994 sent this proposal to first notice under the APA without
commenting on the merits of the proposal. The proposal was
published in the Illinois Register on December 16, 1994 as
follows: Section 211 was published at 18 Ill. Reg. 17808;
Section 218 was published at 18 Ill. Reg. 17823; and Section 219
was published at 18 Ill. Reg. 17844. Hearing was held in this
matter on January 4, 1995, in Chicago, Illinois, before hearing
officer Audrey Lozuk—Lawless. The Board has also received six
public comments, which are discussed in detail below. A
Statement of Agreement and Motion to Withdraw Request for Second
Hearing was filed by the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group
on January 18, 1995, a Statement of Agreement was filed by the
Agency on January 11, 1995, and a Statement of Agreement was
filed by Stepan Company on January 17, 1995. Previously
scheduled second and third hearings were therefore cancelled
pursuant to Section 28.5(g) of the Act. (415 ILCS 5/28.5(g)
(1992).) Pursuant to Section 28.5(1), the comment period closed
January 30, 1995.
On March 16, 1995 the Board sent the proposed amendments to
the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) for review as
required by the APA. On April 18, 1995 JCAR staff voted a
certificate of no objection to the rule. JCAR recommended minor
grammatical corrections which the Board today incorporates into
the rules.
PROPOSAL
The proposed rules are intended to provide for control of
VON emissions from chemical processes operating in a batch or
non-continuous mode. The rules would be implemented by
amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 211, 218 and 219,
Subpart V.
Sources that are intended to be covered are all batch
operations at sources identified by specific standard industrial
classifications (SIC) codes. The codes, as defined in the 1987
edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, are
codes that cover manufacture as a primary product or
intermediate, any chemical identified by the following: plastic
materials and resins (SIC 2821), pharmaceutical preparations
(2834), medicinal chemicals and botanical production (SIC 2833),
gum and wood chemicals (SIC 2861), cyclic crudes and
3
intermediates (SIC 2865), industrial organic chemicals (SIC
2869), and agricultural chemicals (SIC 2879)’.
The geographic areas subject to this proposal are the
Chicago and Metro—East St. Louis ozone nonattainment areas as
defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.103 and 219.103.
The Agency has identified eighteen affected facilities
located within these areas, with the majority of affected
facilities located in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The
Agency has undertaken various outreach activities with these
affected industries and industrial associations, including
meeting with interested persons and distributing available drafts
of the proposal among them. (Statement of Reasons at 6—7.)
The Agency contends that the control programs as proposed
are designed to allow compliance at a cost of less than $2,500
per ton of VON reduced. (Statement of Reasons at 6.) The United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) estimates that the
cost effectiveness of controlling VON emissions from batch
processes is $2,500 per ton. ~ at 5.)
TESTIMONY AND COMMENTS
The Board received the following six public comments in this
rulemaking:
PC #1
Comments of the Illinois Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs;
PC #2
Comments of the Administrative Code Division
of the Illinois Secretary of State;
PC #3
Comments of the City of Chicago Department of
Environment;
PC #4
Comments of the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency;
PC #5
Comments of the Illinois Environmental
Regulatory Group; and
PC #6
Comments of Stepan Company.
The rule also explicitly applies to all batch operations
at Stepan Company’s Milisdale manufacturing facility located in
Elwood, Illinois, regardless of SIC codes. (See proposed Section
218.500(a) (2).) As Stepan Company observes (PC #6 at 2), the
Nilisdale facility has certain batch operations that do not fit
into the specified codes, but which nevertheless are chemically
and operationally similar to those that do.
4
The Board has considered all public comments, as well as all
testimony and exhibits, in making its decisions in this matter.
The following is a summary of the major issues raised in comments
and during the hearing process.
A. Comments of the Illinois Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs
The comment from the Illinois Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs (DCCA) states that DCCA has reviewed the
proposal and determined that it will not significantly impact
small businesses. DCCA defers to the findings from hearings
conducted by the Board and written public comment to the Board.
B. Comments of the Administrative Code Division of the Illinois
Secretary of State
The comment of the Administrative Code Division recommends
various nonsubstantive form and typographical corrections. The
Board accepts these recommendations and incorporates them into
today’s second notice proposal.
C. Comments of the City of Chicago Department of Environment
The Chicago Department of Environment (CDOE) recognizes that
the proposed rulemaking will impact Chicago area industry; CDOE
nevertheless supports the proposed rulemaking. CDOE states that
the targeted VOM reduction level of 12 tons per day is a
necessary and significant step toward reducing VON emissions in
this region as required by the Clean Air Act. CDOE also believes
this proposal will not only help the region reach ozone
attainment, but result in positive environmental and health
benefits.
D. Comments of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency,
Illinois Environmental Regulatory GrouP. and Stepan Company
Substantive issues have been addressed in public comment by
the Agency (PC #4), the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group
(IERG
--
PC #5), and the Stepan Company (Stepan
--
PC #6). Most
of these issues originally arose during discussions at the
January 4, 1995 hearing, and the public comments represent the
response of the three parties to these discussions. Included are
a number of changes recommended by the Agency in response to
concerns of IERG and Stepan.
1) Sections 218.505 and 219.505, Reporting/Recordkeeping
Requirements for Owners and Operators
IERG proposes that the recordkeeping/reporting requirement
for flares, found at Sections 218.505 and 219.505, be limited to
5
the maintenance of records of the flare pilot flame monitoring,
and record of all periods of operations during which the pilot
flame is absent. (PC #5 at 2.) In response to this proposal,
the Agency recommends that the Board delete a portion of the
first notice Sections 218.505(c) (2) and 219.505(c) (2). (PC #4 at
8.)
The Board accepts the Agency’s proposed deletion for the
purposes of second notice. (See Sections 218.505(c) (2) and
219.505(c) (2).)
2) Sections 218.502(b) (2) and 219.502(b) (2) and Sections
218.503(f) (3) (A) (iii) and 219.503(f) (3) (A) (iii),
Definition of Emission Event
IERG and Stepan claim that the proposal needs to address the
zero flow rate situation, wherein a batch cycle sits for a period
of time prior to the process continuing; failure to consider zero
flow rates could result in a flawed determination of
applicability and/or control efficiency. (PC #5 at 3; PC #6 at
18.) IERG proposes alternative language.
The Agency responds that if flow rates are measured in
accordance with Section 218.502(f) (2) and the resulting flow rate
measurement is equivalent to zero, then “such an event is not
considered an emission event for purposes of this proposal”. (PC
#4 at 8.) In addition, the Agency proposes additional language
to Sections 218.502(b) (2) and 219.502(b) (2) and Sections
218.503(f) (3) (iii) and 219.503(f) (3) (iii) that defines the term
“emission event” and considers the situation where the flow rate
for any emission event is zero.
The Board accepts this expanded definitional language as
proposed by the Agency and incorporates it into the second notice
proposal. (See Sections 218.502(f) (2), 219.502(f)(2),
218.503(f) (3) (A) (iii), and 219.503(f) (3) (A) (iii).)
3) Sections 218.503(f) (3) (A) and 219.503(f) (3) (A), Method
25A and Method 18 Testing Procedure for Batch
Processes
IERG and Stepan propose that additional flexibility should
be allowed when sampling batch cycles of eight hours or greater
duration. (PC #5 at 3; PC #6 at 13-17.) IERG claims that during
review of the draft Control Technique Guideline (CTG) and
discussions with the USEPA’s Research Triangle Park staff and the
Agency, it was agreed that alternative sampling strategy could be
used for batch cycles of eight hours or greater duration that
contain emission events greater than four hours. (PC #5 at 4.)
Stepan believes that emissions from these long events can be
accurately quantified based on three one-hour samples taken
during the emission event. (PC #6 at 16
-
17.)
6
The Agency agrees with Stepan’s recommendation that an
alternative sampling strategy be allowed. Specifically, the
Agency now proposes the option of allowing either continuous
testing or discrete testing in the form of a minimum of three
one—hour samples for each emission event of greater than four
hours at each single unit operation. (PC #4 at 5.) However, the
Agency specifically proposes that if the facilities elect the
discrete sampling option, an emission profile (developed using
material balances and process stoichiometry) must be developed
for the entire duration of the emission event and the facility
must demonstrate that the portion of the emissions event being
tested defines the emissions profile for such emission event.
(PC #4 at 5.)
The Board accepts the Agency’s revised language and
incorporates it into the second notice proposal. (See Sections
218.503(f) (3) (i) and (ii), and Sections 219.503(f) (3) (i) and
(ii) •)
4) Section 218.503(f) (3) (A) (i) and 219.503(f) (3) (A) (i)
Time Period for Changing Out an Impinger Train under
Method 18
IERG and Stepan propose that the Board increase the maximum
amount of time to change out an impinger train when testing under
Method 18. Their proposal is to increase the time from a 15—
minute interval to a maximum 30-minute interval. (PC #5 at 4; PC
#6 at 17—18.)
The Agency agrees with IERG and Stepan that a 30-minute
interval between measurements is acceptable, but only in the
event that a change in the impinger train is necessary.
Otherwise, the Agency proposes the 15—minute interval must not be
exceeded2. (PC #4 at 6.)
The Board accepts the Agency’s addition and incorporates it
into the second notice proposal. (See Section
218.503 (f) (3) (A) (i) and Section 219.503(f) (3) (A) (1).)
5) Sections 218.502(a) and 219.502(a), Alternative
Approach to Determine Uncontrolled Total Annual Mass
Emissions of VON
IERG proposes that an alternative method be included to
allow an owner or operator, where total production is reflected
in the data upon which a valid Agency permit is based, to
determine applicability on the basis of annual production versus

The correct citation is 218/219.503(f) (3) (A) (i).
7
the actual number of cycles that occur during a given year. (PC
#5 at 5; Tr. at 32.) Stepan also questions whether the Agency
would agree to an alternative approach based on total production
rather than the potential or permitted number of batch cycles.
The Agency comments that “(i)f the permitted levels as
reflected in Stepan’s operating permit correspond to total
production, then the Agency would agree with Stepan’s proposal to
allow the use of total production as an alternative to the use of
potential or permitted number of batch cycles in calculating
uncontrolled mass emissions”. (PC #4 at 5.) In addition, the
Agency proposes a definition for the term “emission event” within
Sections 218.502 and 219.502. (PC #4 at 5.)
The Board accepts the Agency’s additional language and
incorporates it into the second notice proposal. (See Sections
218.502(a) (2), 219.502(a), 218.502(b), 219.502(b),
218.503(f) (3) (A) (iii), and 219.503(f) (3) (A) (iii).)
6) Sections 218.503(i) and 219.503(i), Absence of Request
by Agency to Conduct Performance Testing
IERG suggests that the Agency clarify that when utilizing
control devices other than flares or process boilers, in the
absence of an Agency request to conduct performance testing, an
owner or operator may demonstrate compliance by the use of
engineering estimates or process stoichiometry. (PC #5 at 5.)
The Agency agrees with IERG’s suggestion and has proposed
additional language to specifically provide for the use of
engineering estimates. (PC #4 at 8.)
The Board accepts this additional language and incorporates
it into the second notice proposal. (See Sections 218.503(i) and
219.503(i).)
7) Continuous Process Units
Stepan proposes that the Board include clarification that in
aggregating emissions from a process train, owners and operators
(and Agency permit writers) should consider the following:
“i) Is the unit used in more than one train? ii) Are the units
interdependent? iii) Are the materials used chemically
compatible? iv) Are the units geographically close and
accessible? v) Are the units operated as a process train
throughout the year? vi) Are any continuous units involved?
and vii) Can emissions be vented to a common control device?”
(PC #6 at 11—12.)
The Agency does not propose specific language to address
Stepan’s concerns. The Board finds that no additional
8
modifications in response to Stepan’s suggestions are necessary.
8) Calendar Year
At hearing Stepan questioned the Agency whether
determinations of uncontrolled total annual mass emissions were
to be based on a calendar year or a rolling 12—month period.
(Tr. at 38-39.) The Agency responded that the intent was that a
calendar year be used for all calculations of uncontrolled total
annual mass emissions. (Tr. at 39.)
Stepan now asks that the Board memorialize this portion of
the record within today’s opinion and order. (PC #6 at 18.) The
Board accordingly observes that the record in this matter
indicates that a calendar year is intended to be used for
purposes of calculating uncontrolled total annual mass emissions.
9) Effective Date
Stepan recommends that the Board make these regulations
effective as of the date when the final rule is published in the
Illinois Register. (PC #6 at 19.) The Board notes that pursuant
to the APA all adopted regulations becomes effective in this
manner, and that accordingly no special action by the Board is
necessary.
CONCLUS ION
The Board finds that the rules are technically feasible and
economically reasonable, and that the rules are necessary to meet
the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The Board finds that the
record supports adopting the rules, as amended in the March 16,
1995 second notice opinion and order. The only additional
changes made to the rules are non—substantive technical
corrections, such as the addition or deletion of commas, at
various places in the rules.

Section 218.502
Determination of Uncontrolled Total Annual
Mass Emissions and Average Flow Rate Values
for Batch Operations
Uncontrolled total annual mass emissions shall be
determined bY the following methods:
fl
Direct process vent emissions measurements taken
prior to any release to the atmosphere, following
any recovery device and prior to any control
device, provided such measurements conform with
the requirements of measuring the mass flow rate
of VON incoming to the control device as set forth
in Section 218.503 (f) (2) . (f) (3) (A) and (f) (3) (B)
of this Subpart; or
21
Engineering estimates of the uncontrolled VON
emissions from a process vent or process vents, in
the aggregate, within a batch process train, using
either the potential or permitted number of batch
cycles per year or total production as represented
in the source’s operating permit as follows:
~j Engineering estimates of the uncontrolled VON
emissions shall be based upon accepted
chemical engineering principles, measurable
process parameters, or physical or chemical
laws and their properties. Examples of
methods include, but are not limited to, the
following:
j~ Use of material balances based on
process stoichiometry to estimate
maximum VON concentrations
~JJ Estimation of maximum flow rate based on
physical equipment design such as pump
or blower capacities; and
iii) Estimation of VON concentrations based
on saturation conditions.
~j All data, assumptions and procedures used in
any engineering estimate shall be documented.
~j Average flow rate shall be determined by any of the
following methods:
34
fl
Direct process vent flow rate measurements taken
prior to any release to the atmosphere, following
any recovery device and prior to any control
device, provided such measurements conform with
the requirements of measuring incoming volumetric
flow rate set forth in Section 218.503(e) (2) of
this Subpart
21
Average flow rate for a single unit operation
having multiple emission events or batch process
trains shall be the weighted average flow rate,
calculated as follows:
n
~ IAFR1 x ADE1fl
i= 1
WAF
=

where:
WAF
=
Actual weighted average flow
rate for a single unit
operation or batch process
train
=
Average flow rate per emission

=
Annual duration of emission
event; and
n
=
Number of emission events.
For purposes of this formula, the term “emission
event” shall be defined as a discrete period of
venting that is associated with a single unit
operation. For example, a displacement of vapor
resulting from the charging of a single unit
operation with VOM will result in a discrete
emission event that will last tbrou~hthe duration
of the charge and will have an average flow rate
equal to the rate of the charge. The expulsion of
expanded vapor space when the single unit
operation is heated is also an emission event.
Both of these examples of emission events and
others maY occur in the same single unit operation
during the course of the batch cycle. If the flow
rate measurement for any emission event is zero,
according to Section 218.503(f) (2) of this
Subpart, then such event is not an emission event
for purposes of this Section.

Section 218.503
Performance and Testing Requirements for
Batch Operations
~ Upon the Agency’s reguest. the owner or operator of a
batch operation shall conduct testing to demonstrate
compliance with Section 218.501 of this Subpart. The
owner or operator shall, at its own expense, conduct
such tests in accordance with the applicable test
methods and procedures specified in Section 218.503(d),
(e), and (f) of this Subpart.
Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section. flares
and process boilers used to comPly with control
requirements of Section 218.501 of this Subpart shall
be exempt from performance testing requirements.
ci
When a flare is used to comply with the control
requirements of Section 218.501 of this Subpart. the
flare shall com~lvwith the requirements of 40 CFR
60.18, incorporated by reference at Section 218.112 of
this Part.
~j The owner or oPerator of a batch operation that is
exempt from the control requirements of Section 218.501
of this Subpart shall demonstrate, upon the Agency’s
request, the absence of oversized gas moving equipment
in any manifold. Gas moving equipment shall be
considered oversized if it exceeds the maximum
requirements of the exhaust flow rate bY more than 30
percent.
~j For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the
control requirements in Section 218.501 of this
Subpart, the batch operation shall be run at
representative operating conditions and flow rates
during any performance test.
~j. The following methods in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference at Section 218.112 of this
Part, shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the
36
reduction efficiency requirement set forth in Section
218.501 of this Subpart:
fl
Method 1 or 1A, as appropriate, for selection of
the sampling sites if the flow measuring device is
not a rotameter. The control device inlet
sampling site for determination of vent stream VOM
composition reduction efficiency shall be prior to
the control device and after the control device
21
Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, for
determination of gas stream volumetric flow rate
flow measurements, which shall be taken
continuously. No traverse is necessary when the
flow measuring device is an ultrasonic probe
~j Method 25A or Method 18, if applicable, to
determine the concentration of VOM in the control
device inlet and outlet
~j The sampling time for each run shall be as
follows:
Jj
For batch cycles less than eight hours
in length, readings shall be taken
continuously over the entire lenath of
the batch cycle with a maximum of 15-
minute intervals between measurements if
using Method 25A. If using Method 18.
readings shall be taken continuously
with a maximum of 15—minute intervals
between measurements throughout the
batch cycle unless it becomes necessary
to change the impinger train, in which
case a 30—minute interval shall not be
exceeded.
~JJ. For batch cycles of eight hours and
greater in length, the owner or
operator may either test in
accordance with the test procedures
defined in subsection (f) (3) (A) (i)
of this Section or the owner or
operator may elect to perform
tests, pursuant to either Method
25A or Method 18. only during those
portions of each emission event
which define the emission profile
of each emission event occurring
within the batch cycle. For each
emission event of less than four
hours in duration, the owner or
37
operator shall test continuously
over the entire emission event as
set forth in subsection
(f) (3) (A) (i) of this Section. For
each emission event of areater than
four hours in duration, the owner
or operator shall elect either to
perform a minimum of three one hour
test runs during the emission event
or shall test continuously over the
entire emission event within each
single unit operation in the batch
process train. To demonstrate that
the portion of the emission event
to be tested define the emission
profile for the emission event, the
owner or operator electing to rely
on this option shall develop an
emission profile for the entire
emission event. Such emission
profile shall be based upon either
process knowledge or test data
collected. Examples of information
that could constitute process
knowledge include, but are not
limited to, calculations based on
material balances and process
stoichiometry. Previous test
results may be used provided such
results are still relevant to the
current process vent stream
conditions.
iii) For purposes of subsection (f) (3) of
this Section, the term “emission event”
shall be defined as a discrete period of
venting that is associated with a single
unit operation. For example, a
displacement of vapor resulting from the
charging of a single unit operation with
VOM will result in a discrete emission
event that will last through the
duration of the charge and will have an
average flow rate equal to the rate of
the charge. The expulsion of expanded
single unit operation vapor space when
the vessel is heated is also an emission
event. Both of these examples of
emission events and others may occur in
the_same single unit operation during
the course of the batch cycle. If the
flow rate measurement for any emission
38
event is zero, in accordance with
subsection (f) (2) of the Section, then
such event is not an emission event for
purposes of this Section.
~J The mass emission rate from the process vent
or inlet to the control device shall be
determined by combining concentration and
flow rate measurements taken simultaneously
at sampling sites selected in accordance with
subsection (f) (1) of this Section throughout
the batch cycle
Qj The mass emission rate from the control
device outlet shall be obtained by combining
concentration and flow rate measurements
taken simultaneously at sampling sites
selected in accordance with subsection (f) (1)
of this Section throughout the batch cycle
and
pj The efficiency of the control device shall be
determined by integrating the mass emission
rates obtained in subsections (f) (3) (B) and
(f) (3) (C) of this Section, over the time of
the batch cycle and dividing the difference
in inlet and outlet mass flow totals by the
inlet mass flow total.
gi Upon request by the A~encvto conduct testing, an owner
or operator of a batch operation which has installed a
scrubber, a shell and tube condenser using a non—
refrigerated cooling media, or any other control device
which meets the criteria of Section 218.501(c) of this
Subpart, shall demonstrate that such device achieves
the control efficiency applicable within Section
218.501 of this Subpart upon the earlier to occur of
the date the device is re~1acedor December 31, 1999.
~
The owner or operator of a batch operation may propose
an alternative test method or Procedures to demonstrate
compliance with the control requirements set forth in
Section 218.501 of this Subpart. Such method or
procedures shall be approved bY the Agency and USEPA as
evidenced by federally enforceable permit conditions.
Jj
In the absence of a request by the Agency to conduct
performance testing in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, a source may demonstrate compliance by
the use of engineering estimates or process
stoichiometry.

commitment approved by USEPA.
~ The following single unit operations and batch process
trains are sublect to this Subpart but are considered
to be de minimis and are, therefore, exempt from the
53
control requirements of Section 219.501 of this
Subpart. However, the recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in Section 219.505 of this Subpart shall
apply to such de minimis single unit operations and
batch process trains:
jj. Within a batch operation, any single unit
operation with uncontrolled total annual mass
emissions of less than or equal to 500 lb/yr of
VOM. Such single unit operations are also
excluded from the calculation of the total annual
mass emissions for a batch process train. If the
uncontrolled total annual mass emissions from such
exempt single unit operation exceed 500 lb/yr of
VON in any subsequent year. the source shall
calculate applicability in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section for both the
individual single unit operation and the batch
process train containing the single unit
operation; and
21
Any batch process train containing process vents
that have, in the aggregate, uncontrolled total
annual mass emissions, as determined in accordance
with Section 219.502(a) of this Subpart, of less
than 30,000 lb/yr of VOM for all products
manufactured in such batch process train.
~ The applicability equations in subsection (e) of this
Section, which require the calculation of uncontrolled
total annual mass emissions and flow rate value, shall
be used to determine whether a single unit operation or
a batch process train is subject to the control
requirements set forth in Section 219.501 of this
Subpart. The applicability equation shall be applied to
the following:
j~j. Any single unit operation with uncontrolled total
annual mass emissions that exceed 500 lb/yr and
with a VON concentration greater than 500 ppmv.
In this individual determination, no applicability
analysis shall be performed for any single unit
operation with a VON concentration of less than or
equal to 500 p~mv;and
21
Any batch process train containing process vents
which, in the aggregate, have uncontrolled total
annual mass emissions of 30,000 lb/yr or more of
VON from all products manufactured in the batch
process train. Any single unit operation with
uncontrolled total annual mass emissions exceeding
500 lb/yr. regardless of VON concentration, shall
54
be included in the aggregate applicability
analysis.

,~j Uncontrolled total annual mass emissions shall be
determined by the following methods:
fl
Direct process vent emissions measurements taken
prior to any release to the atmosphere, following
any recovery device and prior to any control
device, provided such measurements conform with
the requirements of measuring the mass flow rate
of VON incoming to the control device as set forth
in Section 219.503(f) (2), (f) (3) (A) and (f) (3) (B)
of this Subpart; or

Engineering estimates of the uncontrolled VON
emissions from a process vent or process vents, in
the aggregate, within a batch process train, using
either the potential or permitted number of batch
cycles per year or total production as represented
in the source’s operating permit as follows:
~j Engineering estimates of the uncontrolled VON
emissions shall be based upon accepted
chemical engineering principles, measurable
process parameters, or physical or chemical
laws and their properties. Examples of
methods include, but are not limited to, the
following:
~j Use of material balances based on
process stoichiornetry to estimate
maximum VOM concentrations
jJ,j. Estimation of maximum flow rate based on
physical equipment design such as pump
or blower capacities; and
iii) Estimation of VON concentrations based
on saturation conditions.
~j All data, assumptions and procedures used in
any engineering estimate shall be documented.
~ Average flow rate shall be determined by any of the
following methods:
~j Direct process vent flow rate measurements taken
prior to any release to the atmosphere, following
any recovery device and prior to any control
device, provided such measurements conform with
the requirements of measuring incoming volumetric
flow rate set forth in Section 219.503(e) (2) of
this Subpart

For purposes of this formula, the term “emission
event” shall be defined as a discrete period of
venting that is associated with a single unit
operation. For example, a displacement of vapor
resulting from the charging of a single unit
operation with VOM will result in a discrete
emission event that will last through the duration
of the charge and wil have an average flow rate
equal to the rate of the charge. The expulsion of
expanded vapor space when the single unit
operation is heated is also an emission event.
Both of these examples of emission events and
others may occur in the same single unit operation
during the course of the batch cycle. If the flow
rate measurement for any emission event is zero,
according to Section 218.503(f) (2) of this
Subpart, then such event is not an emission event
for purposes of this Section.

owner or operator shall, at its own expense, conduct
59
such tests in accordance with the applicable test
methods and procedures specified in Section 219.503(d).

hi
Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section. flares
and process boilers used to comply with control
requirements of Section 219.501 of this Subpart shall
be exempt from performance testing requirements.
ci
When a flare is used to comply with the control
requirements of Section 219.501 of this Subpart, the
flare shall comply with the requirements of 40 CFR
60.18, incorporated by reference at Section 219.112 of
this Part.
~j The owner or operator of a batch operation that is
exempt from the control requirements of Section 219.501
of this Subpart shall demonstrate, upon the Agency’s
request, the absence of oversized gas moving equipment
in any manifold. Gas moving equipment shall be
considered oversized if it exceeds the maximum
requirements of the exhaust flow rate by more than 30
percent.
~ For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the
control requirements in Section 219.501 of this
Subpart, the batch operation shall be run at
representative operating conditions and flow rates
during any performance test.
~j The following methods in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference at Section 219.112 of this
Part, shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the
reduction efficiency requirement set forth in Section
219.501 of this Subpart:
fl
Method 1 or lA, as appropriate, for selection of
the sampling sites if the flow measuring device is
not a rotameter. The control device inlet
sampling site for determination of vent stream VON
composition reduction efficiency shall be prior to
the control device and after the control device
21
Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, for
determination of gas stream volumetric flow rate
flow measurements, which shall be taken
continuously. No traverse is necessary when the
flow measuring device is an ultrasonic probe
~j Method 25A or Method 18, if applicable, to
determine the concentration of VOM in the control
device inlet and outlet
60
~j The sampling time for each run shall be as
follows:
.jj For batch cycles less than eight hours
in length, readings shall be taken
continuously over the entire length of
the batch cycle with a maximum of 15-
minute intervals between measurements if
using Method 25A. If using Method 18,
readings shall be taken continuously
with a maximum of 15-minute intervals
between measurements throughout the
batch cycle unless it becomes necessary
to change the impinger train, in which
case a 30—minute interval shall not be
exceeded.
J~JJ.
For batch cycles of eight hours and
greater in length, the owner or operator
may either test in accordance with the
test procedures defined in subsection
(f) (3) (A) (i) of this Section or the
owner or operator may elect to perform
tests, pursuant to either Method 25A or
Method 18, only during those portions of
each emission event which define the
emission profile of each emission event
occurring within the batch cycle. For
each emission event of less than four
hours in duration, the owner or operator
shall test continuously over the entire
emission event as set forth in
subsection (f) (3) (A) (i) of this Section.
For each emission event of greater than
four hours in duration, the owner or
operator shall elect either to perform a
minimum of three one hour test runs
during the emission event or shall test
continuously over the entire emission
event within each single unit operation
in the batch process train. To
demonstrate that the portion of the
emission event to be tested define the
emission profile for the emission event,
the_owner or operator electing to rely
on this option shall develop an emission
profile for the entire emission event.
Such_emission profile shall be based
upon either process knowledge or test
data collected. Examples of information
that could constitute process knowledge
include, but are not limited to,
61
calculations based on material balances
and process stoichiometry. Previous
test results may be used provided such
results are still relevant to the
current process vent stream conditions.
iii) For purposes of subsection (f) (3) of
this Section, the term “emission event”
shall be defined as a discrete period of
venting that is associated with a single
unit operation. For example, a
displacement of vapor resulting from the
charging of a single unit operation with
VOM will result in a discrete emission
event that will last through the
duration of the charge and will have an
average flow rate equal to the rate of
the charge. The expulsion of expanded
single unit operation vapor space when
the vessel is heated is also an emission
event. Both of these examples of
emission events and others may occur in
the same single unit operation during
the course of the batch cycle. If the
flow rate measurement for any emission
event is zero, in accordance with
subsection (f) (2) of the Section, then
such event is not an emission event for
purposes of this Section.
~ The mass emission rate from the process vent
or inlet to the control device shall be
determined by combining concentration and
flow rate measurements taken simultaneously
at sampling sites selected in accordance with
subsection (f) (1) of this Section throughout
the batch cycle
çj The mass emission rate from the control
device outlet shall be obtained by combining
concentration and flow rate measurements
taken simultaneously at sampling sites
selected in accordance with subsection (f) (1)
of this Section throughout the batch cycle
and
Qj The efficiency of the control device shall be
determined by integrating the mass emission
rates obtained in subsections (f) (3) (B) and
(f) (3) (C) of this Section, over the time of
the batch cycle and dividing the difference
62
in inlet and outlet mass flow totals by the
inlet mass flow total.
gj Upon request by the Agency to conduct testing, an owner
or operator of a batch operation which has installed a
scrubber, a shell and tube condenser using a non-
refrigerated cooling media, or any other control device
which meets the criteria of Section 219.501(c) of this
Subpart, shall demonstrate that such device achieves
the control efficiency applicable within Section
219.501 of this Subpart upon the earlier to occur of
the date the device is replaced or December 31, 1999.
hi
The owner or operator of a batch operation may propose
an alternative test method or procedures to demonstrate
compliance with the control requirements set forth in
Section 219.501 of this Subpart. Such method or
procedures shall be approved by the Agency and USEPA as
evidenced by federally enforceable permit conditions.
fl In the absence of a request by the Agency to conduct
performance testing in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, a source may demonstrate compliance by
the use of engineering estimates or process
stoichiometry.
