(a) Monitoring requirements. The following monitoring
requirements apply to the owner or operator of a surface coating process
subject to this division that uses a vapor control system in accordance
with §115.453 of this title (relating to Control Requirements).
The owner or operator shall install and maintain monitors to accurately
measure and record operational parameters of all required control
devices to ensure the proper functioning of those devices in accordance
with design specifications, including:
(1) continuous monitoring of the exhaust gas temperature
immediately downstream of direct-flame incinerators or the gas temperature
immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;
(2) the total amount of volatile organic compounds
(VOC) recovered by carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery systems
during a calendar month;
(3) continuous monitoring of carbon adsorption bed
exhaust; and
(4) appropriate operating parameters for capture systems
and control devices other than those specified in paragraphs (1) -
(3) of this subsection.
(b) Recordkeeping requirements. The following recordkeeping
requirements apply to the owner or operator of a surface coating process
subject to this division.
(1) The owner or operator shall maintain records of
the testing data or the material safety data sheets (MSDS) in accordance
with the requirements in §115.455(a) of this title (relating
to Approved Test Methods and Testing Requirements). The MSDS must
document relevant information regarding each coating and solvent available
for use in the affected surface coating processes including the VOC
content, composition, solids content, and solvent density. Records
must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the applicable
VOC limits in §115.453(a) or (f) - (i) of this title.
(2) Records must be maintained of the quantity and
type of each coating and solvent consumed during the specified averaging
period if any of the coatings, as delivered to the coating application
system, exceed the applicable VOC limits. Such records must be sufficient
to calculate the applicable weighted average of VOC content for all
coatings.
(3) As an alternative to the recordkeeping requirements
of paragraph (2) of this subsection, the owner or operator that qualifies
for exemption under §115.451(a)(3) of this title (relating to
Exemptions) may maintain records of the total gallons of coating and
solvent used in each month and total gallons of coating and solvent
used in the previous 12 months.
(4) The owner or operator shall maintain, on file,
the capture efficiency protocol submitted under §115.455(a)(4)
of this title. The owner or operator shall submit all results of the
test methods and capture efficiency protocols to the executive director
within 60 days of the actual test date. The owner or operator shall
maintain records of the capture efficiency operating parameter values
on-site for a minimum of one year. If any changes are made to capture
or control equipment, the owner or operator is required to notify
the executive director in writing within 30 days of these changes
and a new capture efficiency or control device destruction or removal
efficiency test may be required.
(5) The owner or operator claiming an exemption in §115.451
of this title shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate continuous
compliance with the applicable exemption criteria.
(6) Records must be maintained of any testing conducted
in accordance with the provisions specified in §115.455(a) of
this title.
(7) Records must be maintained a minimum of two years
and be made available upon request to authorized representatives of
the executive director, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, or any local air pollution agency with jurisdiction.
