Adopted Rule. Final Order.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) initiated this rulemaking by
filing a proposal to amend Parts 218 and 219 of the Board’s volatile organic material (VOM)
emission rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 218, 219). The proposal seeks to allow the use of add-on
controls as a compliance option for operations using cold cleaning solvent degreasing in the
Chicago and Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. By today’s action, the Board adopts as final
rules the amendments proposed at second notice.
On October 6, 2006, the amendments proposed for first notice appeared in the
Illinois
Register
at 30
Ill. Reg.
15867, 15892. On March 1, 2007, the Board proposed rule amendments
for second-notice review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). JCAR
considered the rulemaking at its April 18, 2007 meeting, and issued a certification of no
objection to the rule amendments.
In this opinion, the Board will provide background on this rulemaking, give an overview
of the adopted amendments, and discuss the economic reasonableness and technical feasibility of
the rules, as well as other issues addressed in this proceeding.
BACKGROUND
The Agency filed the proposal on December 22, 2005. The rulemaking amends two
subsections of the requirements found in Sections 218.182 and 219.182 (35 Ill. Adm. Code
218.182, 219.182). The rulemaking also amends Appendix H of both Parts 218 and 219.
Solvent cleaning, or degreasing as it is commonly called, is a process using aqueous
liquids or non-aqueous organic solvents to clean and remove soils from surfaces. Proposal
(Prop.) at 2. Solvent cleaning is divided into three major types: cold cleaning; open-top vapor
degreasing; and conveyorized degreasing.
Id
. Evaporation of the solvent used during degreasing
results in VOM emissions that react with other pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and carbon
monoxide to form ozone.
Id
.

2
In 1997, as a part of the 9% Rate of Progress (ROP) plan, the Board adopted control
measures proposed by the Agency to reduce VOM emissions for cold cleaning degreaser
operations in the Chicago and Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. Prop. at 3. These
measures, which are codified at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.182 and 219.182, lowered the allowed
solvent vapor pressure for operations in the Chicago and Metro-East areas to 2.0 millimeters of
mercury (mmHg) by 1999 and 1.0 mmHg by 2001.
Id
. The Agency estimated that the
implementation of the lower vapor pressure would result in a VOM emission reduction of 11.35
tons per day by 1999 and an additional 11.68 tons per day by 2001. The 1997 ROP regulations
do not allow the use of add-on controls for cold cleaning degreasers as an alternative to
complying with the solvent vapor limit.
Diversapack, a printing company that recycles its solvents in a totally enclosed parts
washer and uses add-on controls for the abatement of process emissions, contacted the Agency in
May 2003, regarding a possible variance from the vapor pressure limits at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
218.182(c). Prop. at 2. Diversapack uses solvents compatible with its printing operations, but
which do not meet the current vapor pressure requirements.
Id
. The Agency identified three
additional point sources in the Chicago area that use add-on controls plus solvents that do not
meet the lower vapor pressure limits.
Id.
In lieu of site-specific rulemakings for each of the identified facilities, the Agency
proposed revisions to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218 and 219. Prop. at 2. Specifically, the Agency
proposed revising Sections 218.182 and 219.182 to allow for add-on controls or equivalent
alternative control plans as compliance options, as well as additional revisions concerning
solvent sale, solvent use, add-on control testing, and recordkeeping requirements.
Id
. at 3.
The Agency notes that currently an eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) is in effect for the Chicago and the Metro-East areas, designating each as a
moderate ozone nonattainment area. Prop. at 3. This eight-hour ozone NAAQS replaced the
previous one-hour standard on June 15, 2005. However, given that the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has a policy against regression, the control measures
adopted to meet the one-hour standard must still be maintained.
Id
. at 4. Further, under the
federal Clean Air Act and the USEPA State Implementation Plan (SIP), failure to obtain
equivalent emissions reductions from the cold cleaning sources would require the Agency to
make up the deficiency through the implementation of contingency control measures.
Id
. at 3-4.
According to the Agency, USEPA has indicated that the 95% control level proposed here is
sufficient for this emissions source category.
Id
. at 4.
Two hearings were held before Board Hearing Officer John Knittle. The first hearing
was held on April 19, 2006, in Chicago. The second hearing was held on May 17, 2006, in
Edwardsville. During those hearings, the Board heard the testimony of Gary E. Beckstead from
the Agency’s Bureau of Air. In addition, the Board has received two public comments in this
proceeding; the first from the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group (IERG), filed in support
of the proposal on June 14, 2006; the second from the Agency, also filed in support of the
proposal on June 15, 2006.

 
3
As required by Section 27(b) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27(b)
(2004)), the Board requested that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
(DCEO) conduct an economic impact study (EcIS) on this rulemaking. The Board’s EcIS
request, dated February 22, 2006, was placed in this rulemaking’s docket. DCEO did not
respond to the Board’s request. At the second hearing, the hearing officer noted the Board’s
EcIS request to DCEO and DCEO’s lack of response, affording anyone the opportunity to testify.
No one testified about DCEO’s lack of response. Tr.2 at 5-6.
The Board adopted first-notice rules on September 21, 2006. The Board found that the
Agency’s proposal, as amended by Agency
errata
sheets 1 and 2, is technically feasible and
economically reasonable. The proposed first-notice amendments appeared in the
Illinois
Register
on October 6, 2006 at 30
Ill. Reg.
15867, 15892. The Board received no public
comments during the 45-day first-notice public-comment period, which ended on November 26,
2006. On March 1, 2007, the Board proposed the rulemaking for second notice. JCAR
considered the rulemaking at its April 18, 2007 meeting, and issued a certification of no
objection to the rule amendments.
OVERVIEW OF AMENDMENTS
The adopted rule amendments to Parts 218 and 219 on VOM emissions are unchanged
from the amendments proposed at second notice. The amendments revise the Board’s cold
cleaning degreaser rules applicable to facilities in the Chicago and Metro-East ozone
nonattainment areas. The final amendments allow the use of add-on controls as an alternative to
using solvents with vapor pressure of 1.0 mmHg or less. Likewise, the adopted amendments also
allow the use of an equivalent alternative control plan to comply with the control measure
requirements. In addition, the adopted amendments provide the testing procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for add-on controls and equivalent alternative controls. The Board
also amends the “paper coating” note at Appendix H in Parts 218 and 219 to reflect language
added to the “paper coating” note elsewhere in Parts 218 and 219 in a prior rulemaking.
DISCUSSION
The record shows that in the cases of both add-on controls and equivalent alternative
control plans, the amendments offer additional options to supplement the technically feasible low
vapor pressure solvent requirement already in place. The Board agrees with the Agency’s
assertion that the technical feasibility of add-on controls for point source cold cleaning
degreasers is already being demonstrated. The Board further concurs with the Agency’s
assertion that the technical feasibility of add-on controls for point source cold cleaning can result
in waste being minimized through solvent being reused.
The Board agrees with the Agency that the proposal is economically reasonable and
offers cost benefits compared to converting to low vapor pressure solvents for some cold
cleaning operations. The Board also agrees with the Agency that additional costs and
inefficiencies would occur if these existing sources are required to use the low vapor pressure
solvents.

 
4
The Board received no public comments during the first-notice public-comment period.
No substantive changes to the second-notice proposal have been received from JCAR. Based on
this record, the Board finds the amendments are technically feasible and economically
reasonable.
Additionally, at second notice, the Board made changes to the internal effective dates of
the rule. The rule, as proposed by the Agency, provided that the requirements of Sections
218.182(c)(3) and 219.182(c)(3) would be effective November 30, 2006. To avoid a retroactive
application of this rule, the Board changed that date to May 30, 2007. For consistency, a
corresponding change was made to the added provisions mandating the testing of add-on
controls at Sections 218.182(c)(4)(C) and 219.182(c)(4)(C). Add-on controls operating before
May 30, 2007, will have to be tested by August 31, 2007, and newly constructed add-on controls
will have to be tested within 90 days after initial startup.
As discussed in detail at first notice, the Board is amending the “paper coating” note at
Appendix H in Parts 218 and 219. These amendments were inadvertently not made in
consolidated rulemaking docket R04-12/20.
See
Clean-Up Part III Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm.
Code Parts 211, 218, and 219, R04-20, Technical Corrections to Formulas in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
214 “Sulfur Limitations”, R04-12 (cons.) (Mar. 2, 2006). The changes will ensure wording
consistency with the already-amended “paper coating” note at Sections 218.204(c) and
219.204(c), adopted in R04-12/20.
CONCLUSION
Today’s action amends Parts 218 and 219 of the Board’s VOM emission rules (35 Ill.
Adm. Code 218, 219). The adopted amendments allow the use of add-on controls as a
compliance option for operations using cold cleaning solvent degreasing in the Chicago and
Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. The Board also adopts amendments to the “paper
coating” note at Appendix H in Parts 218 and 219, which amendments were inadvertently not
made in R04-12/20. Based on the record before it, the Board finds that the amendments are
technically feasible and economically reasonable and that adoption of the amendments as final
rules is warranted.
ORDER
The Board directs the Clerk to file the following adopted rule amendments with the
Secretary of State for final notice publication in the
Illinois Register
and adoption in the
Illinois
Administrative Code
