OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore):

In these consolidated rulemakings docketed as R04-20 and R04-12, the Board today

adopts final rule amendments designed to clarify, correct, streamline, and update the Board’s air

pollution control rules. The amendments appear in Parts 211, 214, 218, and 219 of Title 35 of

the Illinois Administrative Code. On April 11, 2006, the Joint Committee on Administrative

Rules (JCAR) issued certifications of no objection concerning the amendments proposed by the

Board at second notice. The Board will now file the adopted amendments with the Secretary of

State for publication in the

Illinois Register

as final rules.

The Board previously consolidated these two rulemakings for hearing. The Board has

used docket R04-20 to address the rulemaking proposal filed by the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency (IEPA). IEPA proposed amending the Board’s rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

Part 211 (definitions and general provisions), Part 218 (organic material emission standards and

limitations for the Chicago area), and Part 219 (organic material emission standards and

limitations for the Metro East area). Among other things, the adopted amendments in R04-20

allow additional methods for measuring the volatile organic material (VOM) “capture

efficiency” of various emission control equipment. These changes are designed to increase

regulatory flexibility, consistent with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

requirements.

Docket R04-12 has been dedicated to the Board-initiated rulemaking proposal to amend

rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 214 (sulfur limitations). These changes correct typographical

errors in formulas that appear to have occurred during re-codification of the Illinois

Administrative Code.

In this opinion, the Board first provides the procedural history of the consolidated

rulemaking. Next, the Board discusses the rule amendments adopted today and some of the

issued raised by participants and resolved by the Board. The order following this opinion sets

forth the Board’s adopted amendments to Parts 211, 214, 218, and 219 of the Board’s air

pollution control rules.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

On January 6, 2004, the Board received the proposal from IEPA to amend the Board’s air

pollution rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219. In a January 22, 2004 order, the Board

opened docket R04-20 for, and accepted for hearing, the IEPA proposal. In the same order, the

Board opened docket R04-12 for its proposed amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 214, and

consolidated for hearing the IEPA proposal (R04-20) with the Board-initiated proposal (R04-12).

The Board held two public hearings in this consolidated rulemaking. The first took place

in Chicago on March 18, 2004. One person testified at the first hearing: Gary Beckstead,

Environmental Protection Engineer in the Air Quality Planning Section of IEPA’s Bureau of Air.

The second hearing took place in Springfield on May 6, 2004. The following persons testified at

the second hearing: Beckstead of IEPA; and David Bloomberg, Environmental Protection

Engineer in the Ozone Regulatory Unit of the Air Quality Planning Section of IEPA’s Division

of Air Pollution Control. Also participating at hearing were attorneys Charles Matoesian on

behalf of IEPA and LaDonna Driver of Hodge, Dwyer, and Zeman on behalf of the Illinois

Environmental Regulatory Group (IERG).

The transcripts of the Chicago and Springfield hearings were received by the Board on

April 20 and May 17, 2004, respectively, and promptly placed in the Clerk’s Office On Line

(COOL) on the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Many other documents from this

rulemaking are available through COOL, including Board opinions and orders, hearing officer

orders, and public comments.

As required by Section 27(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/27(b) (2004)), the Board made the

Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s (DCEO) decision not to conduct an

economic impact study (EcIS) available to the public at least 20 days before the second hearing.

In letters of April 17, 2003 and April 2, 2004, DCEO declined to perform an EcIS, noting its

limited financial resources. No one testified about either of DCEO’s letters. Tr.2 at 40-41.

The Board hearing officer entered two exhibits into the record at hearing. Hearing

exhibit 1, which was entered on the hearing officer’s motion, is a group exhibit consisting of five

Board orders that bear upon proposed amendments to equations in the rules: (1) May 25, 1978,

in R75-5, R74-2; (2) December 14, 1978, in R75-5, R74-2; (3) February 15, 1979, in R75-5,

R74-2; (4) February 24, 1983, in R80-22; and (5) April 20, 1995, R94-31. Hearing exhibit 2 was

offered by IEPA and consists of an “

Errata

Sheet” that shows proposed changes to the rule

language originally set forth in IEPA’s R04-20 proposal.

The Chicago hearing transcript is cited as “Tr.1 at _.” The Springfield hearing transcript is

cited as “Tr.2 at _.”

The Board cites hearing exhibits as “Exh. _ at _.”

IEPA filed a public comment on June 18, 2004 (PC 1), as did IERG (PC 2). On

July 30, 2004, Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (U.S.) filed a public comment (PC 3). The Board

adopted its first notice opinion and order on April 21, 2005. On May 27, 2005, the

Illinois

Register

published first-notice of the Board’s proposed rule amendments (29 Ill. Reg. 7418 (Part

211), 7435 (Part 214), 7449 (Part 218), 7563 (Part 219) (May 27, 2005)). This began a 45-day

period, concluding on July 11, 2005, during which any interested person could file with the

Board a public comment on the proposed amendments. The Board received five additional

public comments after first-notice publication. On June 30, 2005, the Printing Industry of

Illinois/Indiana Association (PII) filed a public comment (PC 4). On June 28, 2005, the

Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) filed a public comment (PC 5). On July 7, 2005,

Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc. (Smurfit-Stone), successor by merger to Jefferson

Smurfit Corporation (U.S.), filed a public comment (PC 6). On July 11, 2005, IEPA filed a

public comment (PC 7). On July 11, 2005, IERG filed a public comment (PC 8).

On March 2, 2006, the Board adopted its opinion and order for second notice. On

April 11, 2006, JCAR issued certifications of no objection concerning the second-notice rule

amendments to Parts 211, 214, 218, and 219. At JCAR’s request, the Board today makes only

minor changes to the second-notice rules.

DISCUSSION

In this part of the opinion, the Board first provides background on the nature of the

amendments being made in R04-20 and the regulatory framework within which they fit. The

Board then discusses and analyzes some of the issues raised by participants in R04-20 and how

the Board resolved those issues. Lastly, the Board addresses R04-12.

Background

In R04-20, the Board is amending its air pollution rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218,

and 219. The amendments are designed to update, clarify, and correct provisions of the air rules,

as well as ease regulatory burdens without allowing for increased emissions.

St. of Reas. at 1-2,

6-7. The rules focus on VOM emissions in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area and Metro-

East St. Louis ozone area, as designated under the federal Clean Air Act, and as described in 35

Ill. Adm. Code 218.103 and 219.103, respectively.

. at 2, 6.

The federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7511a(b)(1)) required all moderate, serious, severe,

and extreme ozone nonattainment areas to reduce VOM emissions 15% by 1996. St. of Reas. at

1. In Illinois, the Chicago area is classified as a severe nonattainment area and, until recently,

The Board cites the “Statement of Reasons” within IEPA’s January 6, 2004 rulemaking

proposal as “St. of Reas. at _.”

the Metro-East St. Louis area was classified as a moderate ozone nonattainment area.

Accordingly, Illinois had to develop a plan to reduce VOM emissions in the Chicago and Metro-

East areas.

. In turn, Illinois, through Board rulemaking, adopted a 15% Rate of Progress

(ROP) plan. Many of the provisions being amended in R04-20 were adopted as part of the 15%

ROP plan.

. at 1-2. The amendments are not expected to impact the overall air quality plans or

goals of the Chicago nonattainment area or Metro-East ozone area.

. at 2.

The R04-20 amendments are intended to:

•

Update the test methods for capture efficiency;

•

Clarify the term “carbon adsorber”;

•

Clarify requirements for screen printers;

•

Clarify categories of sealers and topcoats;

•

Clarify provisions on monitoring, applicability, equations, recordkeeping, and reporting

for lithographic printing operations;

•

Clarify that sources may turn off their natural gas fired afterburners outside the ozone

season;

•

Delete the requirements applicable to perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities;

•

Delete the requirement that auto finishing shops annually re-register with IEPA;

•

Delete the coating purchasing recordkeeping requirements; and

•

Correct miscellaneous grammatical and typographical errors. St. of Reas. at 2.

Capture Efficiency (CE) Protocols

The Board will give background on capture efficiency (CE) before turning to the some of

the issues raised by rulemaking participants concerning the CE protocols: CE protocols in

enforcement cases; whether additional testing is required when establishing emission credits;

whether the “Lower Confidence Limit” (LCL) protocol can be used to establish emission credits

for trading; and the role of the LCL protocol and “Data Quality Objective” (DQO) protocol as

“alternatives” to the “standard” enclosure protocols.

USEPA has revoked the 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS),

effective June 15, 2005, which will result in the Chicago area being re-classified as a “moderate”

nonattainment area, based on the new 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

See

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm.

Code 205, Emissions Reduction Market System, and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, R05-11

(June 2, 2005).

Background on CE Protocols

CE test methods are required by the federal Clean Air Act and included in the Chicago

Federal Implementation Plan. Measuring CE is critical to determining the effectiveness of

volatile organic compound (VOC) emission control systems.

St. of Reas. at 3.

On January 9, 1995, USEPA issued a guidance document entitled

Guidelines for

Determining Capture Efficiency

(1995 Guidelines), which revised the existing USEPA approved

“gas/gas” and “liquid/gas” CE test methods and introduced two new alternative CE test

protocols. St. of Reas. at 3. The next month, in February 1995, John S. Seitz, Director, Office of

Air Quality Control and Standards, USEPA, issued a memorandum entitled

Revised Capture

Efficiency Guidance for Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions

(Seitz Memo) (

.),

which transmitted the 1995 Guidelines to various USEPA regional directors (Seitz Memo at 1).

On June 16, 1997, USEPA published a final rule in the

Federal Register

to update the CE test

methods located in USEPA regulations at 40 C.F.R. 51, Appendix M (62 Fed. Reg. 32500

(June 16, 1997)). St. of Reas. at 3.

The four existing CE protocols, the so-called “standard” protocols, each require an

enclosure of the VOM-emitting unit pursuant to USEPA’s Method 204, Appendix M, 40 C.F.R.

51. The two new “alternative” CE protocols do not. Tr.2 at 11, 27-28. Instead, the two new CE

protocols are statistical “mass balance” approaches to determining CE and, as noted, are called

the “Data Quality Objective” (DQO) and the “Lower Confidence Limit” (LCL):

USEPA developed the two alternative methods in order to provide additional

regulatory flexibility and reduce compliance costs. *** These methods define

sets of approval criteria which, when met by the data obtained from the

measurement of applicable process parameters using USEPA approved

procedures and protocols, may be used to determine VOC capture system

compliance with a regulatory CE standard. St. of Reas. at 3.

Satisfying the DQO yields a result accurate to a 95% confidence level, and satisfying the

LCL yields a result accurate to a 90% confidence level. PC 1 at 4, 5; Tr.1 at 10. The Seitz

Memo generally described the DQO and LCL methods:

[T]hese alternatives offer additional flexibility in that they do not require specific

testing procedures for measuring process parameters and for liquid and gas

analyses; but only specify a limited set of guidelines on the data quality. The

DQO and LCL methods are sets of approval criteria which, when met by the data

obtained with any given protocol of process parameter measurement procedures,

USEPA uses the term “volatile organic compounds” or “VOCs.” Board rules use the term

“volatile organic material” or “VOM.” Both designations refer to the same matter and can be

used interchangeably for purposes of this opinion.

may be used to determine VOC capture system compliance with a CE standard.

Seitz Memo at 3.

The R04-20 amendments to Parts 218 and 219 add the option for sources to use the DQO

and LCL. St. of Reas. at 3 (

see

Sections 218.105(c), 219.105(c), 218.112, and 219.112). Part

218 applies to VOM emissions from stationary sources in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area,

while Part 219 applies to VOM emissions from stationary sources in the Metro-East ozone area.

Parts 218 and 219 are nearly identical, as are the amendments to the respective Parts.

Accordingly, when the Board refers in this opinion to a provision of Part 218, it is also referring

to that provision in Part 219, and

vice versa

Subsections (c)(1) of Sections 218.105 and 219.105 state that the requirements of the

respective subsections (c)(2) (

i.e.

, the CE protocols) apply to all VOM-emitting process emission

units employing capture equipment (

e.g.

, hoods, ducts), except in a few cases, such as when an

emission unit is equipped with or uses a permanent total enclosure (PTE) that directs all VOM to

a control device.

See

35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.105(c)(1)(A), 219.105(c)(1)(A). Other than these

exceptions, the CE of an emission unit must be measured using one of the CE protocols in

subsection (c)(2). Before these amendments, subsection (c)(2) provided the four enclosure CE

protocols (in subsections (c)(2)(A), (B), (C), and (D)): (1) gas/gas method using a temporary

total enclosure (TTE); (2) liquid/gas method using TTE; (3) gas/gas method using the building or

room enclosure in which the affected emission unit is located; and (4) liquid/gas method or room

enclosure in which the affected emission unit is located. The DQO and LCL protocols,

sometimes referred to as the “DQO/LCL protocol,” appear in new subsection (c)(2)(E) of

Sections 218.105 and 219.105.

CE Protocols in Enforcement Cases

The participants in this rulemaking agreed that the LCL protocol alone cannot prove a

violation because the LCL will tend to understate the actual CE. Because the actual CE is

therefore likely to be greater than the LCL, a calculated LCL above the applicable CE standard

demonstrates compliance. However, because the LCL is the “floor” for CE, a calculated LCL

below the required CE does not demonstrate non-compliance.

As the Board discussed in its first-notice opinion, IERG and Jefferson Smurfit

Corporation (U.S.) expressed concern that IEPA’s proposal suggested an improper shift of the

“burden of proof” to the respondent source in an enforcement case. PC 2 at 3-4; PC 3 at 5. The

Board agreed, finding that IEPA’s language indicated that a respondent would have the burden to

prove it is in compliance. In an enforcement action, however, it is the

complainant

that has the

burden of proving the respondent is

not

in compliance.

See

415 ILCS 5/31(e) (2004).

In response, IEPA agreed that the burden of proof in enforcement cases is on the

complainant. PC 7 at 5-6. However, IEPA states that if a source uses LCL and determines that

its CE appears to be below the CE standard, the “burden the source has is providing the Agency

with a solid number” using one of the other protocols.

. at 6. IEPA emphasized that Section

201.282(a) (35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.282(a)) gives IEPA the ability to “require the owner or

operator of the emission source or air pollution control equipment to conduct such tests in

accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency.”

. at 7.

IEPA explained that when the LCL is below the allowable CE limit, IEPA does not know

whether a source is out of compliance:

[A]n LCL estimated CE value of 68% only means that the CE is at least 68%, but

it may be 69% or 70%, or greater. If the standard of CE is 70% in a particular

situation, the Agency doesn’t know if a source with an LCL estimated CE value

of 68% is out of compliance or not. Further testing would be needed. PC 7 at 6.

IERG agreed that the DQO and the “standard” protocols (Section 218.105(c)(2)(A)-(D)) could

be used to prove a violation. PC 8 at 3.

Indeed, the Board at first notice stated:

[I]f one of the CE protocols, say subsection (c)(2)(E), cannot be met, another

protocol,

i.e.

, (A), (B), (C), or (D), must be satisfied absent approval of an

alternative under Section 218.108(b).

The Board recognized at second notice that the LCL will be the first protocol codified that,

alone, cannot prove a CE violation. The Board added:

However, if a source uses the LCL and the LCL does not demonstrate CE

compliance, IEPA in administering the air programs plainly can still require the

source to demonstrate compliance with CE requirements using another protocol.

If a source fails to do so, it would be subject to enforcement. Moreover, it is both

self-evident and uncontested in this rulemaking that the CE protocols other than

LCL can prove a violation of CE requirements.

To address the issue, the Board at second notice proposed the following addition (double-

underlined) to the new Section 218.105(c)(2)(E):

In enforcement cases, the LCL protocol cannot confirm non-

compliance; capture efficiency must be determined using a

protocol under subsection (c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section,

the DQO protocol of this subsection (c)(2)(E), or an alternative

protocol pursuant to Section 218.108(b) of this Part.

The Board adopts this language today as a final rule.

Emission Credits and Additional Testing

IERG expressed concern during the rulemaking that satisfying the DQO under IEPA’s

proposal would necessarily require

additional

physical

testing to establish emission credits for

offsets, shutdowns, and trading. For example, IERG was concerned that more testing would be

required when an emission unit is being shut down even though the unit, when originally

permitted, established CE by testing. PC 3 at 3-4; Tr.2 at 29-31.

IERG and IEPA responded to the Board’s first-notice request for more comment on the

issue of when additional

testing is required for establishing emission credits. IERG stated that its

position, based on discussions with IEPA, is as follows:

•

where a source had originally performed testing at an emission unit using

standard methods, and then later seeks emission credits for that emission unit,

no additional testing will be required by this rulemaking to establish credits

for that emission unit;

•

where a source had originally performed testing at an emission unit using the

DQO, and then later seeks emission credits for that emission unit, no

additional testing will be required by this rulemaking to establish credits for

that emission unit;

•

where a source has not been required to perform testing at an emission unit,

and then later seeks emission credits for that emission unit, no additional

testing will be required by this rulemaking to establish credits for that

emission unit;

•

where a source had originally performed testing at an emission unit, has relied

upon the LCL, and then later seeks emission credits for that emission unit,

additional testing will be required for that emission unit. PC 8 at 2-3, 8.

IERG supported the Board’s rule language, as proposed at first notice, concluding that testing to

establish emission credits would be required only when the source had previously conducted

testing that relied upon the LCL. PC 8 at 3.

IEPA also supported the limitations on using LCL that the Board proposed at first notice.

PC 7 at 11. The relevant sentence within Section 218.105(c)(2)(E) at first notice, which remains

unchanged, reads:

Where capture efficiency testing is done to determine emission reductions for the

purpose of establishing emission credits for offsets, shutdowns, and trading, the

LCL protocol cannot be used for these applications.

IEPA reiterated that this restriction is necessary because the LCL would overestimate the unit’s

emissions and provide too many credits to a source. PC 7 at 12.

IEPA interpreted the rule language “Where capture efficiency testing is done . . .” to

mean any past CE testing, not just CE testing specifically for the shutdown. PC 7 at 11-12. In

this way, IEPA pointed out, if a source tested at one point and then later decided to shut down,

the source would not be required to do another test simply to determine emission credits, as long

as the testing had not relied on the LCL.

. at 13. Additionally, according to IEPA, the source

would not have to do further testing if it did not wish to take emission credits from its shutdown.

. at 12.

To further clarify the issue of CE testing and emission credits, the Board at second notice,

as requested by IEPA and IERG, added a Board note after Section 218.105(c)(2)(E). The Board

note appears in the final rules as follows, reflecting minor grammatical and capitalization

changes at JCAR’s request:

BOARD NOTE: Where LCL was used in testing emission units that are

the subject of later requests for establishing emission credits for offsets,

shutdowns, and trading, prior LCL results may not be relied upon to

determine the appropriate amount of credits. Instead, to establish the

appropriate amount of credits, additional testing may be required that

would satisfy the protocol of Section 218.105(c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D),

the DQO protocol of Section 218.105(c)(2)(E), or an alternative protocol

pursuant to Section 218.108(b) of this Part.

Emission Credits and Trading

As just discussed, the Board is adopting the following language for Section

218.105(c)(2)(E), closely tracking the Seitz Memo:

Where capture efficiency testing is done to determine emission reductions for the

purpose of establishing emission credits for offsets, shutdowns, and trading, the

LCL protocol cannot be used for these applications.

Regarding this language, the Board directed IEPA at first notice to specifically address the

contention of Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (U.S.) that the LCL could be used to calculate actual

seasonal emissions, just not the baseline for the VOM Emission Reduction Market System

(ERMS) (35 Ill. Adm. Code 205).

Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (U.S.) had argued that the:

baseline emissions for determining emission credits should not be based on the

LCL since this would overstate the baseline emissions and therefore give the

facility emission credits above what it should obtain. *** However, once the

baseline has been established, there is no reason why the facility should not be

able to use the LCL capture efficiency to determine its actual ERMS seasonal

emissions, especially since use of the LCL capture efficiency will overstate the

VOM emissions that must be accounted for. Smurfit PC at 5.

Accordingly, Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (U.S.) took the position that “establishing emission

credits for . . . trading” refers only to baseline calculations. Smurfit-Stone continues to interpret

the first-notice language, taken from the Seitz Memo, as precluding the use of LCL for

establishing an emission baseline, but allowing the use of LCL to calculate actual seasonal

emissions. PC 6 at 3.

IEPA commented that the problem with Smurfit-Stone’s position is the word “actual.”

PC 7 at 13. The relevant ERMS rule (35 Ill. Adm. Code 205.300(b)(1)) requires that sources

must submit “[a]ctual seasonal emissions of VOM from the source.”

. at 13-14. According to

IEPA, because the LCL underestimates CE and overestimates emissions, the LCL does not result

in the “actual seasonal emissions.”

. at 13. IEPA stated that the integrity of the ERMS trading

program is based on using actual seasonal emissions. IEPA concluded that if “sources

overestimate their emissions, the integrity of the program could be jeopardized.”

. at 14.

At second notice, the Board concurred with IEPA’s interpretation. The Board also noted

that none of the participants had requested that the Board add any rule language concerning the

ERMS baseline/seasonal emission issue, and the Board found no reason to do so at that time.

DQO/LCL as an “Alternative”

IEPA expressed concern during this rulemaking about the Board’s “concurrence with

Smurfit that DQO/LCL should be on an ‘equal footing’ with the standard (enclosure) protocols.”

PC 7 at 2. The “standard” protocols in Sections 218.105(c) and 219.105(c) use permanent total

enclosure (PTE), temporary total enclosure (TTE), and building or room enclosures (BE). The

DQO/LCL, IEPA emphasized, is a statistical analysis that measures CE without an enclosure.

. at 4. IEPA maintained that “[t]his comparison is not of equals.”

. at 2.

IEPA quoted USEPA’s 1995 Guidelines: “The [US]EPA continues to recommend the

use of a PTE, TTE, or BE for determining CE.” PC 7 at 3. IEPA pointed out that the DQO/LCL

is not included among USEPA’s

recommended

test methods, though USEPA guidance states that

the DQO/LCL could be used as an alternative.

. at 3. IEPA cautioned that the DQO and LCL

are relatively new methods and have not yet been used frequently nationwide.

. at 16. IEPA

reiterated that the purpose of including the DQO/LCL is to provide flexibility as a courtesy to the

regulated community, and that the Seitz Memo also cites reduced costs.

. at 2-3.

At second notice, the Board recognized IEPA’s numerous points about the advantages of

the enclosure protocols versus the DQO/LCL protocol. The Board noted, however, that the

Board never stated that DQO/LCL is preferred to or more accurate than the enclosure protocols.

The Board said at first notice:

The Board agrees with Smurfit’s sentiment that the DQO/LCL should be on

“equal footing” with the standard (enclosure) protocols,

i.e.

, that DQO/LCL

should be available without the source having to first demonstrate that all standard

protocols are “unsuitable.”

* * *

The Board agrees with Smurfit that these “alternative” protocols (DQO and LCL),

now adopted by USEPA, should be on the same footing as the existing “standard”

protocols, with the noted exceptions limiting the use of the LCL. To refer to

DQO/LCL as an “alternative,” as IEPA proposes, even though the protocol will

be codified and not require case-by-case approval for use, risks confusing it with

this subsection (c)(2) language: “alternative capture efficiency protocol may be

used, pursuant to the provisions of Section 218.108(b).” The Section 218.108(b)

process is one by which

other

protocols (

i.e.

, other than the codified enclosure and

DQO/LCL protocols) may be proposed and approved on a case-by-case basis.

The Board at second notice stood by its statements: “The fact remains that, as permitted

by USEPA guidance, the DQO/LCL is being added to the rules and can be used to demonstrate

CE compliance. The proposed rules clearly set forth the limits on LCL use.” In its second-

notice opinion, the Board declined IEPA’s suggestion to call DQO/LCL an “alternative” in the

rules, noting:

IEPA appears to persist in proposing that DQO and LCL be labeled “alternatives”

in the rules solely as a means to indicate that they lack the precision and

“recommended” status of the enclosure protocols. PC 7 at 5. The Board finds

this rationale for language changes unconvincing. The Seitz Memo and the 1995

Guidelines are being incorporated by reference and speak for themselves as to

what is recommended.

Carbon Adsorbers

IEPA stated that industry was concerned that the term “carbon” in “carbon adsorbers”

would limit the media that could be used in adsorbers to carbon. St. of Reas. at 3. IEPA

proposed adding a definition of “carbon adsorbers,” which is based on the federally issued

Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) document, and which would “reflect the changing

technology in the field of adsorbers and the media used in them, such as aluminum and silicon

oxides.”

IEPA explained that other materials had recently been introduced claiming to be a more

efficient adsorbent than carbon, though the “physical capturing of the VOM is the same basic

process.” PC 1 at 3. IEPA reported, however, from its enforcement experience, that

manufacturers of these new adsorbent materials maintain that “monitoring such devices pursuant

to the requirements of Sections 218.105(d) and 219.105(d) is not required because these Sections

refer only to ‘carbon’ adsorbers and not any other adsorber.”

. Through its proposed

definition, IEPA sought to “close that unforeseen loop hole” without causing any “undesired

regulatory repercussions” that might arise from changing the term throughout Title 35.

At first notice, the Board recognized IERG’s concern about potential confusion resulting

from defining the term “carbon adsorber” to include non-carbon materials. The Board stated,

however:

Not only is this term [“carbon adsorber”] commonly understood to refer to

adsorbent technology generally, but now the term will be defined explicitly to

include these other media.

Compare

35 Ill. Adm. Code 211. 4470 (definition of

“paper coating” refers not only to coatings applied to paper, but also to plastic

film and metallic foil). Additionally, the Board notes that the term “carbon

adsorber” is not just used in other Subparts of Parts 218 and 219 that are not open

in this rulemaking, but also in other Parts of Title 35, such as Part 215, none of

which are open in this rulemaking.

In the interest of proceeding most efficiently with this rulemaking, the

Board declines to expand IEPA’s proposal to include such a large number of

additional regulatory provisions in an effort to amend the term “carbon adsorber.”

The Board, however, encourages IEPA to assess whether this definitional solution

works as intended when the rule is implemented. If it does not work, the Board

would invite IEPA to propose an omnimbus rulemaking to replace the term

“carbon adsorber” throughout Title 35 with a term more accurate on its face.

With several clarifications to IEPA’s language, the Board proposed for first notice the

following definition of “carbon adsorber” at Section 211.953:

“Carbon Adsorber” means a control device designed to remove and, if desired,

recover volatile organic material (VOM) from process emissions where removal

of VOM is accomplished through the adherence of the VOM onto the surface of

highly porous adsorbent particles, such as activated carbon. The term “carbon

adsorber” describes any adsorber technology used as a control device even though

media other than carbon may be used as the adsorbent, such as oxides of silicon

and aluminum.

IERG remained concerned that the definition of “carbon adsorber” still includes media

besides carbon, such as oxides of silicon and aluminum. PC 8 at 4. IERG believed the stand-

alone term “carbon adsorber” could be deceptive.

. at 4. When reviewing monitoring

requirements for “carbon adsorbers,” sources, IERG explained, might not be aware that the

requirements for carbon adsorbers in Parts 218 and 219 would also extend to other types of

adsorbers.

. at 5.

According to IERG, IEPA concedes to having had difficulties in the past with sources

believing that non-carbon adsorber technologies are not subject to the requirements for carbon

adsorbers. PC 8 at 5. Although the Board at first notice requested that IEPA propose an

omnibus rulemaking to replace the term “carbon adsorber” with a more accurate one if needed,

IERG suspects that such a rulemaking would only be triggered after sources have suffered the

enforcement consequences.

. at 5. Rather than defining the existing term “carbon adsorber” to

include all media and waiting for IEPA to propose an omnibus rulemaking, IERG suggested

limiting the “carbon adsorber” definition to activated carbon.

IEPA, on the other hand, concurred with the definition proposed by the Board at first

notice. Further, IEPA offered that when processing permits, it can assist applicants with any

questions they may have about the meaning of “carbon adsorber.” PC 7 at 16.

At second notice, the Board stated that when it promulgates regulations, the Board must

assume that the regulations will be read by those regulated: “The Board anticipates that the

regulated community does not consist of many, if any, “casual readers” of these regulations, but

rather of sources that would be inclined to look up the definitions of defined terms.” The Board

added that IERG or any other person may propose the omnibus rulemaking referred to by the

Board. Further, the Board noted that IERG’s suggested definition would effectively exempt all

non-carbon adsorbers from the requirements, which “runs directly counter to using this

rulemaking to close the unforeseen compliance loophole mentioned at first notice.” The Board

at second notice therefore declined to alter the definition of “carbon adsorber” proposed for first

notice, which remains unchanged in these final rules.

R04-12

The Board in R04-12 is making technical corrections to formulas in 35 Ill. Adm. Code

214, the air pollution rules on sulfur limitations. The errors in the formulas appear to have

occurred when the Illinois Administrative Code was re-codified. These changes were narrowly-

tailored to make only the described technical corrections. IEPA identified several errors in the

first-notice language of Part 214 ( PC 7 at 18-20, items 1, 2, 5, 6, 7), which the Board corrected

at second notice.

CONCLUSION

The Board adopts final amendments to the following air pollution control rules: Part 211

(definitions and general provisions); Part 214 (sulfur limitations); Part 218 (organic material

emission standards and limitations for the Chicago area); and Part 219 (organic material

emission standards and limitations for the Metro East area). The amendments are needed to

clarify, correct, streamline, and update the Board’s air pollution control rules, and are designed to

be emissions neutral. The amendments include changes to give sources more flexibility in

meeting VOM emission CE requirements.

Based on this record, the Board finds that the amendments adopted today are technically

feasible and economically reasonable and will not have an adverse economic impact on the

People of Illinois.

See

415 ILCS 5/27(a), (b) (2004). The rule amendments in the order below

reflect minor changes from second notice at JCAR’s request, none of which merit discussion.

The Board directs the Clerk to submit the amendments in the order below to the Secretary of

State for publication as final rules.

ORDER

The Board adopts the following amendments to Parts 211, 214, 218, and 219 of its air

pollution control rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 214, 218, 219). The Board directs the Clerk to

submit the amendments to the Secretary of State for publication in the

Illinois Register

as final

rules.

Section 211.953 Carbon Adsorber

“Carbon Adsorber” means a control device designed to remove and, if desired, recover volatile

organic material (VOM) from process emissions where removal of VOM is accomplished

through the adherence of the VOM onto the surface of highly porous adsorbent particles, such as

activated carbon. The term “carbon adsorber” describes any adsorber technology used as a

control device even though media other than carbon may be used as the adsorbent, such as

oxides of silicon and aluminum.

APPENDIX C

Method used to Determine Average Actual Stack Height and Effective Height of

Effluent Release

QH (Btu/sec) = Heat emission rate (in btu/sec or Kcal/sec) as determined by method outlined

below.

∆

H (feet) = Plume rise (in feet or meters).

H = Physical height (in feet or meters), above grade of each stack, except that for purposes of

this calculation the value used for such stack height shall not exceed good engineering

practice as defined by Section 123 of the Clean Air Act and Regulations promulgated

thereunder, unless the owner or operator of the source demonstrates to the Agency that a

greater height is necessary to prevent downwash or fumigation conditions.

T (Degrees Rankine) = Exit temperature of stack gases (in degrees Rankine or degrees

Kelvin) from each source during operating conditions which would

cause maximum emissions.

V (feet/sec) = Exit velocity of stack gases (in feet/sec or meters/sec) from each source

under operating conditions which would cause maximum emissions.

D (feet) = Diameter of stack (in feet or meters).

P = Percentage of total emissions expressed as decimal equivalents emitted from each source.

(Example: 21% = 0.21.) NOTE: The sum of P1 + P2 ... + Pn = 1. The emission values to

be used are those which occur during operating conditions which would cause maximum

emissions.

X HA = Average actual stack height (in feet or meters).

YHE = Effective height of effluent release (in feet or meters).

STEP 1: Determine weighted average stack parameters utilizing the following formulae:

D = P1 D1 + P2 D2 + ... + Pn Dn

V = P1 V1 + P2 V2 + ... + Pn Vn

T = P1 T1 + P2 T2 + ... + Pn Tn

HAX = P1 H1 + P2 H2 + ... + Pn Hn

NOTE: P1, D1, V1, T1, P1, D1, V1, T1, and H1 H1 are the percentage of total emissions, stack

diameter, exit velocity of gases, exit temperature of stack gases, and physical stack height,

respectively, for the first source; P2, D2, V2, T2, P2, D2, V2, T2, and H2 H2 are the respective

values for the second source; similarly, Pn, Dn, Vn, Tn, Pn, Dn, Vn, Tn, and Hn Hn are the

respective values for the nth source, where n is the number of the last source.

BOARD NOTE: This Part implements the Environmental Protection Act as of July 1, 1994.

SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 218.105 Test Methods and Procedures

a) Coatings, Inks and Fountain Solutions

The following test methods and procedures shall be used to determine compliance

of as applied coatings, inks, and fountain solutions with the limitations set forth in

this Part.

1) Sampling: Samples collected for analyses shall be one-liter taken into a

one-liter container at a location and time such that the sample will be

representative of the coating as applied (i.e., the sample shall include any

dilution solvent or other VOM added during the manufacturing process).

The container must be tightly sealed immediately after the sample is taken.

Any solvent or other VOM added after the sample is taken must be

measured and accounted for in the calculations in subsection (a)(3) of this

Section. For multiple package coatings, separate samples of each

component shall be obtained. A mixed sample shall not be obtained as it

will cure in the container. Sampling procedures shall follow the

guidelines presented in:

A) ASTM D3925-81 (1985) standard practice for sampling liquid

paints and related pigment coating. This practice is incorporated

by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

B) ASTM E300-86 standard practice for sampling industrial

chemicals. This practice is incorporated by reference in Section

218.112 of this Part.

2) Analyses: The applicable analytical methods specified below shall be used

to determine the composition of coatings, inks, or fountain solutions as

applied.

A) Method 24 of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part, shall be used to determine the

VOM content and density of coatings. If it is demonstrated to the

satisfaction of the Agency and the USEPA that plant coating

formulation data are equivalent to Method 24 results, formulation

data may be used. In the event of any inconsistency between a

Method 24 test and a facility's formulation data, the Method 24 test

will govern.

B) Method 24A of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part, shall be used to

determine the VOM content and density of rotogravure printing

inks and related coatings. If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction

of the Agency and USEPA that the plant coating formulation data

are equivalent to Method 24A results, formulation data may be

used. In the event of any inconsistency between a Method 24A

test and formulation data, the Method 24A test will govern.

C) The following ASTM methods are the analytical procedures for

determining VOM:

i) ASTM D1475-85: Standard test method for density of

paint, varnish, lacquer and related products. This test

method is incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of

this Part.

ii) ASTM D2369-87: Standard test method for volatile content

of a coating. This test method is incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part.

iii) ASTM D3792-86: Standard test method for water content

of water-reducible paints by direct injection into a gas

chromatograph. This test method is incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

iv) ASTM D4017-81 (1987): Standard test method for water

content in paints and paint materials by the Karl Fischer

method. This test method is incorporated by reference in

Section 218.112 of this Part.

v) ASTM D4457-85: Standard test method for determination

of dichloromethane and 1,1,1, trichloroethane in paints and

coatings by direct injection into a gas chromatograph. (The

procedure delineated above can be used to develop

protocols for any compounds specifically exempted from

the definition of VOM.) This test method is incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

vi) ASTM D2697-86: Standard test method for volume non-

volatile matter in clear or pigmented coatings. This test

method is incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of

this Part.

vii) ASTM D3980-87: Standard practice for interlaboratory

testing of paint and related materials. This practice is

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

viii) ASTM E180-85: Standard practice for determining the

precision data of ASTM methods for analysis of and testing

of industrial chemicals. This practice is incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

ix) ASTM D2372-85: Standard method of separation of

vehicle from solvent-reducible paints. This method is

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

D) Use of an adaptation to any of the analytical methods specified in

subsections (a)(2)(A), (B), and (C) of this Section may not be used

unless approved by the Agency and USEPA. An owner or

operator must submit sufficient documentation for the Agency and

USEPA to find that the analytical methods specified in subsections

(a)(2)(A), (B), and (C) of this Section will yield inaccurate results

and that the proposed adaptation is appropriate.

3) Calculations: Calculations for determining the VOM content, water

content and the content of any compounds which are specifically

exempted from the definition of VOM of coatings, inks and fountain

solutions as applied shall follow the guidance provided in the following

documents:

A) “A Guide for Surface Coating Calculation”, EPA-340/1-86-016,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

B) “Procedures for Certifying Quantity of Volatile Organic

Compounds Emitted by Paint, Ink and Other Coatings” (revised

June 1986), EPA-450/3-84-019, incorporated by reference in

Section 218.112 of this Part.

C) “A Guide for Graphic Arts Calculations”, August 1988, EPA-

340/1-88-003, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this

Part.

b) Automobile or Light-Duty Truck Test Protocol

1) The protocol for testing, including determining the transfer efficiency of

coating applicators, at primer surfacer operations and topcoat operations at

an automobile or light-duty truck assembly source shall follow the

procedures in: "Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile Organic

Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Topcoat

Operations" ("topcoat protocol"), December 1988, EPA-450/3-88-018,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

2) Prior to testing pursuant to the topcoat protocol, the owner or operator of a

coating operation subject to the topcoat or primer surfacer limit in

Sections 218.204(a)(2) or 218.204(a)(3) shall submit a detailed testing

proposal specifying the method by which testing will be conducted and

how compliance will be demonstrated consistent with the topcoat protocol.

The proposal shall include, at a minimum, a comprehensive plan

(including a rationale) for determining the transfer efficiency at each booth

through the use of in-plant or pilot testing, the selection of coatings to be

tested (for the purpose of determining transfer efficiency) including the

rationale for coating groupings, the method for determining the analytic

VOM content of as applied coatings and the formulation solvent content

of as applied coatings, and a description of the records of coating VOM

content as applied and coating's usage which will be kept to demonstrate

compliance. Upon approval of the proposal by the Agency and USEPA,

the compliance demonstration for a coating line may proceed.

c) Capture System Efficiency Test Protocols

1) Applicability

The requirements of subsection (c)(2) of this Section shall apply to all

VOM emitting process emission units employing capture equipment (e.g.,

hoods, ducts), except those cases noted below.

A) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a permanent total

enclosure (PTE) that meets Agency and USEPA specifications,

and which directs all VOM to a control device, then the emission

unit is exempted from the requirements described in subsection

(c)(2) of this Section. The Agency and USEPA specifications to

determine whether a structure is considered a PTE are given in

Method 204 Procedure T of Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part.

Appendix B of this Part. In this instance, the capture efficiency is

assumed to be 100 percent and the emission unit is still required to

measure control efficiency using appropriate test methods as

specified in subsection (d) of this Section.

B) If an emission unit is equipped with (or uses) a control device

designed to collect and recover VOM (e.g., carbon adsorber), an

explicit measurement of capture efficiency is not necessary

provided that the conditions given below are met. The overall

control of the system can be determined by directly comparing the

input liquid VOM to the recovered liquid VOM. The general

procedure for use in this situation is given in 40 CFR 60.433,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part, with the

following additional restrictions:

i) Unless otherwise specified in subsection (c)(1)(B)(ii)

below, the owner or operator shall obtain data each

operating day for the solvent usage and solvent recovery to

permit the determination of the solvent recovery efficiency

of the system each operating day using a 7-day rolling

period. The recovery efficiency for each operating day is

computed as the ratio of the total recovered solvent for that

day and the most recent prior 6 operating days to the total

solvent usage for the same 7-day period used for the

recovered solvent, rather than a 30-day weighted average as

given in 40 CFR 60.433 incorporated by reference at

Section 218.112 of this Part. This ratio shall be expressed

as a percentage. The ratio shall be computed within 72

hours following each 7-day period. A source that believes

that the 7-day rolling period is not appropriate may use an

alterative multi-day rolling period not to exceed 30 days,

with the approval of the Agency and USEPA. In addition,

the criteria in subsection (c)(1)(B)(iii) or subsection

(c)(1)(B)(iv) below must be met.

ii) The owner or operator of the source engaged in printing

located at 350 E. 22nd Street, Chicago, Illinois, shall obtain

data each operating day for the solvent usage and solvent

recovery to permit the determination of the solvent

recovery efficiency of the system each operating day using

a 14-day rolling period. The recovery efficiency for each

operating day is computed as the ratio of the total recovered

solvent for that day and the most recent prior 13 operating

days to the total solvent usage for the same 14-day period

used for the recovered solvent, rather than a 30-day

weighted average as given in 40 CFR 60.433, incorporated

by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part. This ratio

shall be expressed as a percentage. The ratio shall be

computed within 17 days following each 14-day period. In

addition, the criteria in subsection (c)(1)(B)(iii) or

subsection (c)(1)(B)(iv) below must be met.

iii) The solvent recovery system (i.e., capture and control

system) must be dedicated to a single coating line, printing

line, or other discrete activity that by itself is subject to an

applicable VOM emission standard, or

iv) If the solvent recovery system controls more than one

coating line, printing line or other discrete activity that by

itself is subject to an applicable VOM emission standard,

the overall control (i.e. the total recovered VOM divided by

the sum of liquid VOM input from all lines and other

activities venting to the control system) must meet or

exceed the most stringent standard applicable to any line or

other discrete activity venting to the control system.

2) Capture Efficiency Protocols Specific Requirements

The capture efficiency of an emission unit shall be measured using one of

the four protocols given below. Appropriate test methods to be utilized in

each of the capture efficiency protocols are described in Appendix M of

40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference at Section 218.112 of this Part.

Any error margin associated with a test method or protocol may not be

incorporated into the results of a capture efficiency test. If these

techniques are not suitable for a particular process, then an alternative

capture efficiency protocol may be used, pursuant to the provisions of

Section 218.108(b) of this Part provided that the alternative protocol is

approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision.

A) Gas/gas method using temporary total enclosure (TTE). The

Agency and USEPA specifications to determine whether a

temporary enclosure is considered a TTE are given in Method 204

Procedure T of Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part. Appendix B of this Part.

The capture efficiency equation to be used for this protocol is:

CE = Gww/(Gww + Fww)

where:

CE = Capture efficiency, decimal fraction;

Gww = Mass of VOM captured and delivered to control device

using a TTE;

Fww = Mass of uncaptured fugitive VOM that escapes from

a TTE.

Method 204B or 204C Procedure G.2 contained in Appendix M of

40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of

this Part Appendix B of this Part is used to obtain Gww. Method

204D Procedure F.1 in Appendix B in Appendix M of 40 CFR Part

51, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part of this

Part, is used to obtain Fww.

B) Liquid/gas method using TTE. The Agency and USEPA

specifications to determine whether a temporary enclosure is

considered a TTE are given in Method 204 Procedure T of

Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference in

Section 218.112 of this Part. Appendix B of this Part. The capture

efficiency equation to be used for this protocol is:

CE = (L - Fww) /L

where:

CE = Capture efficiency, decimal fraction;

L = Mass of liquid VOM input to process emission unit;

Fww = Mass of uncaptured fugitive VOM that escapes from

a TTE.

Method 204A or 204F Procedure L contained in Appendix B of

this Part. Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by

reference in Section 218.112 of this Part is used to obtain L.

Method 204D Procedure F.1 in Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part Appendix

B of this Part is used to obtain Fww.

C) Gas/gas method using the building or room (building or room

enclosure), in which the affected coating line, printing line or other

emission unit is located, as the enclosure as determined by Method

204 of Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part, and in which "FB" "F" and "G" are

measured while operating only the affected line or emission unit.

All fans and blowers in the building or room must be operated as

they would under normal production. The capture efficiency

equation to be used for this protocol is:

CE = G/(G +FB)

where:

CE = Capture efficiency, decimal fraction;

G = Mass of VOM captured and delivered to control

device;

FB = Mass of uncaptured fugitive VOM that escapes from

building enclosure.

Method 204B or 204C Procedure G.2 contained in Appendix B of

this Part Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part is used to obtain G. Method 204E

Procedure F.2 in Appendix B of this Part Appendix M of 40 CFR

Part 51, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part is

used to obtain FB.

D) Liquid/gas method using the building or room (building or room

enclosure), in which the affected coating line, printing line or other

emission unit is located, as the enclosure as determined by Method

204 of Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part, and in which "FB" "F" and "L" are

measured while operating only the affected line or emission unit.

All fans and blowers in the building or room must be operated as

they would under normal production. The capture efficiency

equation to be used for this protocol is:

CE = (L - FB) /L

where:

CE = Capture efficiency, decimal fraction;

L = Mass of liquid VOM input to process emission unit;

FB = Mass of uncaptured fugitive VOM that escapes from

building enclosure.

Method 204A or 204F Procedure L contained in Appendix B of

this Part Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51, incorporated by reference

in Section 218.112 of this Part is used to obtain L. Method 204E

Procedure F.2 in Appendix B of this Part Appendix M of 40 CFR

Part 51, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part is

used to obtain FB.

E) Mass balance using Data Quality Objective (DQO) or Lower

Confidence Limit (LCL) protocol. For a liquid/gas input where an

owner or operator is using the DQO/LCL protocol and not using an

enclosure as described in Method 204 of Appendix M of 40 CFR

Part 51, incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part,

the VOM content of the liquid input (L) must be determined using

Method 204A or 204F in Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 51,

incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part. The

VOM content of the captured gas stream (G) to the control device

must be determined using Method 204B or 204C in Appendix M

of 40 CFR Part 51. The results of capture efficiency calculations

(G/L) must satisfy the DQO or LCL statistical analysis protocol as

described in Section 3 of USEPA’s “Guidelines for Determining

Capture Efficiency,” incorporated by reference at 218.112 of this

Part. Where capture efficiency testing is done to determine

emission reductions for the purpose of establishing emission

credits for offsets, shutdowns, and trading, the LCL protocol

cannot be used for these applications. In enforcement cases, the

LCL protocol cannot confirm non-compliance; capture efficiency

must be determined using a protocol under subsection (c)(2)(A),

(B), (C) or (D) of this Section, the DQO protocol of this subsection

(c)(2)(E), or an alternative protocol pursuant to Section 218.108(b)

of this Part.

BOARD NOTE: Where LCL was used in testing emission units that are

the subject of later requests for establishing emission credits for offsets,

shutdowns, and trading, prior LCL results may not be relied upon to

determine the appropriate amount of credits. Instead, to establish the

appropriate amount of credits, additional testing may be required that

would satisfy the protocol of Section 218.105(c)(2)(A), (B), (C) or (D),

the DQO protocol of Section 218.105(c)(2)(E), or an alternative protocol

pursuant to Section 218.108(b) of this Part.

3) Simultaneous testing of multiple lines or emission units with a common

control device. If an owner or operator has multiple lines sharing a

common control device, the capture efficiency of the lines may be tested

simultaneously, subject to the following provisions:

comply with Section 218.207(c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) of this Part by the

alternative in Section 218.207(b)(2) of this Part and meet the criteria

allowing them to comply with Section 218.207 of this Part instead of

Section 218.204 of this Part, the overall efficiency of the capture system

and control device, as determined by the test methods and procedures

specified in subsections (c), (d) and (e)(1) of this Section, shall be no less

than the equivalent overall efficiency which shall be calculated by the

following equation:

E = ([VOMa - VOM1]/VOMa) x 100

where:

E = Equivalent overall efficiency of the capture system and control

device as a percentage;

VOMa = Actual VOM content of a coating, or the daily-weighted

average VOM content of two or more coatings (if more

than one coating is used), as applied to the subject coating

line as determined by the applicable test methods and

procedures specified in subsection (a) of this Section in

units of kg VOM/l (lb VOM/gal) of coating solids as

Section 218.Appendix B VOM Measurement Techniques for Capture Efficiency (Repealed)

Procedure G.1 - Captured VOM Emissions

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Applicability. This procedure is applicable for determining the volatile organic materials

(VOM) content of captured gas streams. It is intended to be used as a segment in the

development of liquid/gas or gas/gas protocols for determining VOM capture efficiency (CE) for

surface coating and printing operations. The procedure may not be acceptable in certain

site-specific situations, e.g., when: (1) direct fired heaters or other circumstances affect the

quantity of VOM at the control device inlet; and (2) particulate organic aerosols are formed in

the process and are present in the captured emissions.

1.2 Principle. The amount of VOM captured (G) is calculated as the sum of the products of the

VOM content (CGj), the flow rate (QGj), and the sample time (TC) from each captured

emissions point.

1.3 Estimated Measurement Uncertainty. The measurement uncertainties are estimated for each

captured or fugitive emissions point as follows: QGj = 5.5 percent and CGj =



5.0

percent.

Based on these numbers, the probable uncertainty for G is estimated at about



7.4

percent.

1.4 Sampling Requirements. A capture efficiency test shall consist of at least three sampling

runs. The sampling time for each run should be at least 8 hours, unless otherwise approved.

1.5 Notes. Because this procedure is often applied in highly explosive areas, caution and care

should be exercised in choosing appropriate equipment and installing and using the equipment.

Mention of trade names or company products does not constitute endorsement. All gas

concentrations (percent, ppm) are by volume, unless otherwise noted.

The main components are described below:

2.1.1 Sample Probe. Stainless steel, or equivalent. The probe shall be heated to prevent VOM

condensation.

2.1.2 Calibration Valve Assembly. Three-way valve assembly at the outlet of sample probe to

direct the zero and calibration gases to the analyzer. Other methods, such as quick-connect lines,

to route calibration gases to the outlet of the sample probe are acceptable.

2.1.3 Sample Line. Stainless steel or Teflon tubing to transport the sample gas to the analyzer.

The sample line must be heated to prevent condensation.

2.1.6 Sample Gas Manifold. Capable of diverting a portion of the sample gas stream to the

flame ionization analyzer (FIA), and the remainder to the bypass discharge vent. The manifold

components shall be constructed of stainless steel or Teflon. If captured or fugitive emissions

are to be measured at multiple locations, the measurement system shall be designed to use

separate sampling probes, lines, and pumps for each measurement location and a common

sample gas manifold and FIA. The sample gas manifold and connecting lines to the FIA must be

heated to prevent condensation.

2.1.7 Organic Concentration Analyzer. An FIA with a span value of 1.5 times the expected

concentration as propane; however, other span values may be used if it can be demonstrated that

they would provide more accurate measurements. The system shall be capable of meeting or

integrated values is one measurement value every 5 seconds. The device shall be capable of

recording average values at least once per minute.

2.1.9 Calibration and Other Gases. Gases used for calibration, fuel, and combustion air (if

required) are contained in compressed gas cylinders. All calibration gases shall be traceable to

NIST standards and shall be certified by the manufacturer to



1 percent of the tag value.

Additionally, the manufacturer of the cylinder should provide a recommended shelf life for each

calibration gas cylinder over which the concentration does not change more than



2 percent

from

the certified value. For calibration gas values not generally available, alternative methods for

preparing calibration gas mixtures, such as dilution systems, may be used with prior approval.

2.1.9.1 Fuel. A 40 percent H2/60 percent He or 40 percent H2/60 percent N2 gas mixture is

recommended to avoid an oxygen synergism effect that reportedly occurs when oxygen

concentration varies significantly from a mean value.

Method 1, determine the sampling points. Be sure to check each site for cyclonic or swirling

flow.

using Method 2 or 2A.

DETERMINATION OF VOM CONTENT OF CAPTURED EMISSIONS

4.1 Analysis Duration. Measure the VOM responses at each captured emissions point during

the entire test run or, if applicable, while the process is operating. If there are multiple captured

emission locations, design a sampling system to allow a single FIA to be used to determine the

VOM responses at all sampling locations.

effluent concentration after the calibration valve has been returned to the effluent sampling

position.

4.2.5 Conduct a system check before and a system drift check after each sampling run according

to the procedures in Sections 5.2 and 5.3. If the drift check following a run indicates

unacceptable performance, the run is not valid. The tester may elect to perform system drift

checks during the run not to exceed one drift check per hour.

4.2.6 Verify that the sample lines, filter, and pump temperatures are 120



NC.

4.2.7 Begin sampling at the start of the test period and continue to sample during the entire run.

Record the starting and ending times and any required process information as appropriate. If

multiple captured emission locations are sampled using a single FIA, sample at each location for

the same amount of time (e.g., 2 minutes) and continue to switch from one location to another for

the entire test run. Be sure that total sampling time at each location is the same at the end of the

test run. Collect at least 4 separate measurements from each sample point during each hour of

testing. Disregard the measurements at each sampling location until two times the response time

of the measurement system has elapsed. Continue sampling for at least 1 minute and record the

concentration measurements.

4.3 Background Concentration.

4.3.1 Locate all NDO's of the TTE. A sampling point shall be centrally located outside of the

TTE at 4 equivalent diameters from each NDO, if possible. If there are more than 6 NDO's,

choose 6 sampling points evenly spaced among the NDO's.

4.3.2 Assemble the sample train as shown in Figure 2. Calibrate the FIA and conduct a system

check according to the procedures in Sections 5.1 and 5.3. NOTE: This sample train shall be a

separate sampling train from the one to measure the captured emissions.

4.3.3 Position the probe at the sampling location.

4.3.4 Determine the response time, conduct the system check and sample according to the

procedures described in Sections 4.2.4 to 4.2.7.

supplies for the FIA and ignite the burner. Allow the FIA to warm up for the period

recommended by the manufacturer. Inject a calibration gas into the measurement system and

adjust the back-pressure regulator to the value required to achieve the flow rates specified by the

manufacturer. Inject the zero- and the high-range calibration gases and adjust the analyzer

calibration to provide the proper responses. Inject the low- and mid-range gases and record the

responses of the measurement system. The calibration and linearity of the system are acceptable

if the responses for all four gases are within 5 percent of the respective gas values. If the

performance of the system is not acceptable, repair or adjust the system and repeat the linearity

check. Conduct a calibration and linearity check after assembling the analysis system and after a

major change is made to the system.

5.2 Systems Drift Checks. Select the calibration gas that most closely approximates the

concentration of the captured emissions for conducting the drift checks. Introduce the zero and

calibration gas at the calibration valve assembly and verify that the appropriate gas flow rate and

pressure are present at the FIA. Record the measurement system responses to the zero and

calibration gases. The performance of the system is acceptable if the difference between the drift

check measurement and the value obtained in Section 5.1 is less than 3 percent of the span value.

Conduct the system drift checks at the end of each run.

5.3 System Check. Inject the high range calibration gas at the inlet of the sampling probe and

record the response. The performance of the system is acceptable if the measurement system

response is within 5 percent of the value obtained in Section 5.1 for the high range calibration

gas. Conduct a system check before and after each test run.

Section 5.2. The analysis audit must agree with the audit cylinder concentration within 10

percent.

exceeding the following specifications:

2.1.7.1 Zero Drift. Less than



3.0 percent of the span value.

2.1.7.2 Calibration Drift. Less than



3.0 percent of the span value.

2.1.7.3 Calibration Error. Less than



5.0 percent of the calibration gas value.

2.1.7.4 Response Time. Less than 30 seconds.

2.1.8 Integrator/Data Acquisition System. An analog or digital device or computerized data

acquisition system used to integrate the FIA response or compute the average response and

record measurement data. The minimum data sampling frequency for computing average or

integrated values is one measurement value every 5 seconds. The device shall be capable of

recording average values at least once per minute.

2.1.9 Calibration and Other Gases. Gases used for calibration, fuel, and combustion air (if

required) are contained in compressed gas cylinders. All calibration gases shall be traceable to

NIST standards and shall be certified by the manufacturer to



1 percent of the tag value.

Additionally, the manufacturer of the cylinder should provide a recommended shelf life for each

calibration gas cylinder over which the concentration does not change more than



2 percent from

the certified value. For calibration gas values not generally available, alternative methods for

preparing calibration gas mixtures, such as dilution systems, may be used with prior approval.

2.1.9.1 Fuel. A 40 percent H2/60 percent He or 40 percent H2/60 percent N2 gas mixture is

recommended to avoid an oxygen synergism effect that reportedly occurs when oxygen

concentration varies significantly from a mean value.

2.1.9.2 Carrier Gas. High purity air with less than 1 ppm of organic material (propane or carbon

equivalent) or less than 0.1 percent of the span value, whichever is greater.

2.1.9.3 FIA Linearity Calibration Gases. Low-, mid-, and high-range gas mixture standards with

nominal propane concentrations of 20-30, 45-55, and 70-80 percent of the span value in air,

respectively. Other calibration values and other span values may be used if it can be shown that

more accurate measurements would be achieved.

2.1.10 Particulate Filter. An in-stack or an out-of-stack glass fiber filter is recommended if

exhaust gas particulate loading is significant. An out-of-stack filter must be heated to prevent

any condensation unless it can be demonstrated that no condensation occurs.

2.2 Fugitive Emissions Volumetric Flow Rate.

2.2.1 Flow Direction Indicators. Any means of indicating inward or outward flow, such as light

plastic film or paper streamers, smoke tubes, filaments, and sensory perception.

2.2.2 Method 2 or 2A Apparatus. For determining volumetric flow rate. Anemometers or

similar devices calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions may be used when low

velocities are present. Vane anemometers (Young-maximum response propeller), specialized

pitots with electronic manometers (e.g., Shortridge Instruments Inc., Airdata Multimeter 860) are

commercially available with measurement thresholds of 15 and 8 mpm (50 and 25 fpm),

respectively.

2.2.3 Method 3 Apparatus and Reagents. For determining molecular weight of the gas stream.

An estimate of the molecular weight of the gas stream may be used if it can be justified.

2.2.4 Method 4 Apparatus and Reagents. For determining moisture content, if necessary.

DETERMINATION OF VOLUMETRIC FLOW RATE OF FUGITIVE EMISSIONS

3.1 Preliminary Determinations. The purpose of this exercise is to determine which exhaust

points should be measured for volumetric flow rates and VOM concentrations.

3.1.1 Forced Draft Openings. Identify all forced draft openings. Determine the volumetric flow

rate according to Method 2.

3.1.2 NDO's Exhaust Points. The NDO's in the roof of a facility the building or room in which

the emission unit is located are considered to be exhaust points. Determine volumetric flow rate

from these NDO's. Divide the cross-sectional area according to Method 1 using 12 equal areas.

Use the appropriate velocity measurement devices, e.g., propeller anemometers.

3.1.3 Other NDO's.

3.1.3.1 This step is optional. Determine the exhaust flow rate, including that of the control

device, from the enclosure and the intake air flow rate. If the exhaust flow rate divided by the

intake air flow rate is greater than 1.1, then all other NDO's are not considered to be significant

exhaust points.

3.1.3.2 If the option above is not taken, identify all other NDO's and other potential points

through which fugitive emissions may escape the enclosure. Then use the following criteria to

determine whether flow rates and VOM concentrations need to be measured:

3.1.3.2.1 Using the appropriate flow direction indicator, determine the flow direction. An NDO

with zero or inward flow is not an exhaust point.

3.1.3.2.2 Measure the outward volumetric flow rate from the remainder of the NDO's. If the

collective flow rate is 2 percent, or less, of the flow rate from Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2, then these

113

NDO's, except those within two equivalent diameters (based on NDO opening) from a VOM

emitting point, may be considered to be non-exhaust points.

3.1.3.2.3 If the percentage calculated in Section 3.1.3.2.2 is greater than 2 percent, those NDO's

(except those within two equivalent diameters from a VOM emitting point) whose volumetric

flow rate total 2 percent of the flow rate from Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 may be considered as

non-exhaust points. All remaining NDO's shall be measured for volumetric flow rate and VOM

concentrations during the CE test.

3.1.3.2.4 The tester may choose to measure VOM concentrations at the forced exhaust points

and the NDO's. If the total VOM emissions from the NDO's are less than 2 percent of the

emissions from the forced draft and roof NDO's, then these NDO's may be eliminated from

further consideration.

3.2 Determination of Flow Rates.

3.2.1 Measure the volumetric flow rate at all locations identified as exhaust points in Section

3.1. Divide each exhaust opening into 9 equal areas for rectangular openings and 8 for circular

openings.

3.2.2 Measure the velocity at each site at least once every hour during each sampling run using

Method 2 or 2A, if applicable, or using the low velocity instruments in Section 2.2.2.

DETERMINATION OF VOM CONTENT OF FUGITIVE EMISSIONS

4.1 Analysis Duration. Measure the VOM responses at each fugitive emission point during the

entire test run or, if applicable, while the process is operating. If there are multiple emissions

locations, design a sampling system to allow a single FIA to be used to determine the VOM

responses at all sampling locations.

4.2 Gas VOM Concentration.

4.2.1 Assemble the sample train as shown in Figure 1. Calibrate the FIA and conduct a system

check according to the procedures in Sections 5.1 and 5.3, respectively.

4.2.2 Install the sample probe so that the probe is centrally located in the stack, pipe, or duct,

and is sealed tightly at the stack port connection.

4.2.3 Inject zero gas at the calibration valve assembly. Allow the measurement system response

to reach zero. Measure the system response time as the time required for the system to reach the

effluent concentration after the calibration valve has been returned to the effluent sampling

position.

4.2.4 Conduct a system check before and a system drift check after each sampling run according

to the procedures in Sections 5.2 and 5.3. If the drift check following a run indicates

114

unacceptable performance, the run is not valid. The tester may elect to perform drift checks

during the run not to exceed one drift check per hour.

4.2.5 Verify that the sample lines, filter, and pump temperatures are 120



NC.

4.2.6 Begin sampling at the start of the test period and continue to sample during the entire run.

Record the starting and ending times and any required process information as appropriate. If

multiple emission locations are sampled using a single FIA, sample at each location for the same

amount of time (e.g., 2 minutes) and continue to switch from one location to another for the

entire test run. Be sure that total sampling time at each location is the same at the end of the test

run. Collect at least 4 separate measurements from each sample point during each hour of

testing. Disregard the response measurements at each sampling location until two times the

response time of the measurement system has elapsed. Continue sampling for at least 1 minute

and record the concentration measurements.
