IN THE MATTER OF:

DEFINITION OF VOLATILE

)

R86—37

ORGANIC MATERIAL,

SECTION

215.104

PROPOSED RULE.

SECOND NOTICE.

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.D. Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board upon proposed amendments

to

35

Iii.

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—14 and given

a new docket.

The new docket,

R86—37,

contained

the original

(as proposed

in R82—14) 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

have been 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.

BACKGROUND

The proposed 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 deletes 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

VO~ 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

reads:

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

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

82—628

---

—3—

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

establishes that the reference methods measure concentrations and

do not determine reactivity.

The Board has 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 brought within

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.

CR.

33 at June

30,

1987,

hearing).

Although the Board does not amend

the proposed language at

second notice, the Board interprets

the language “an organic

material which participates

in photochemical reactions”

as

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” have not been

changed

at second notice.

DEFINITION

OF “VOLATILE ORGANIC LIQUID”

The Agency proposed

to add

a definition

of

“volatile organic

liquid”.

This proposed 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 limita-

tion.

The proposed 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 proposed

to amend Section 215.102, Testing

Methods,

to add

a subsection

on the measurement of vapor

pressures.

The Board

notes

that

a concurrent proceeding,

R86—lO,

Emission Standards and Limitations for Pharmaceutical

Manufacturing Plants, also considers 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—10

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—10 includes substantial discussion of these

issues,

especially number

(2).

For these

reasons,

the Board has deemed

it appropriate

to incorporate

into proposed Section 215.102 of

this proceeding

the clarifying

language proposed

in R86—lO.

This

also maintains consistency between the two proceedings and puts

the regulated community and the public

on notice that this

section

is also being amended

in R86—l0.

82—630

---

—5-

Also, 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 2l5.102(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 facility may seek usage

of

an applicable ASTM method via site—specific rulemaking

or

other

means.

Croda

submits

in Public Comment No.

1 that

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 VOM5

at second notice.

The

record does

not contain sufficient information

to

include

a comprehensive list of

reference methods applicable

to

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

(CTGs).

Sources

not covered

by CTGs

are

not included

in

the list.

~cith 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

rio 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

82—631

---

—6—

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—14 hearings,

and the Board

in its October

1,

1987,

final

order

regulating

that industry stated that

“bjased

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.

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

rio

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

it has inserted

the materials

into

the incorporations

by reference sections,

Sections 211.101 and 215.105, and has indicated after each text

reference where

the material

is

incorporated.

The Board has

taken

this action

for second notice

to satisfy

the requirements

of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and

of

1

Ill. Adm.

code 220.760.

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.”

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

i4~-nticalwith 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,

the Board

is

no longer required

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 incorporations by

reference section, Section 215.105.

This

approach also permits more

efficient updating as new editions of

the CFR become available.

ORDER

The following amendments

to

35

Ill.

Adm.

Code 211 and 215

are directed

to the Joint Committee

on Administrative Rules

for

second notice review.
