| (a) In the El Paso area as defined in §115.10
of this title (relating to Definitions), the following monitoring
and recordkeeping requirements apply.
(1) The owner or operator of a heatset offset lithographic
printing press shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a temperature
monitoring device, according to the manufacturer's instructions, at
the outlet of the control device. The temperature monitoring device
must be equipped with a continuous recorder and must have an accuracy
of ±0.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or alternatively ±1.0% of
the temperature being monitored.
(2) The owner or operator of any offset lithographic
printing press shall install and maintain monitors to continuously
measure and record operational parameters of any emission control
device installed to meet applicable control requirements on a regular
basis. Such records must be sufficient to demonstrate proper functioning
of those devices to design specifications, including:
(A) the exhaust gas temperature of direct-flame incinerators
or the gas temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any
catalyst bed;
(B) the total amount of volatile organic compounds
(VOC) recovered by a carbon adsorption or other solvent recovery system
during a calendar month; and
(C) the exhaust gas VOC concentration of any carbon
adsorption system, as defined in §115.10 of this title, to determine
if breakthrough has occurred.
(3) The dryer pressure must be maintained lower than
the press room air pressure such that air flows into the dryer at
all times when the offset lithographic printing press is operating.
A 100% emissions capture efficiency for the dryer must be demonstrated
using an air flow direction measuring device.
(4) The owner or operator of any offset lithographic
printing press shall monitor fountain solution alcohol concentration
with a refractometer or a hydrometer that is corrected for temperature
at least once per eight-hour shift or once per batch, whichever is
longer. The refractometer or hydrometer must have a visual, analog,
or digital readout with an accuracy of 0.5% VOC. A standard solution
must be used to calibrate the refractometer for the type of alcohol
used in the fountain. The VOC content of the fountain solution may
be monitored with a conductivity meter if it is determined that a
refractometer or hydrometer cannot be used for the type of VOC in
the fountain solution. The conductivity meter reading for the fountain
solution must be referenced to the conductivity of the incoming water.
(5) The owner or operator of any offset lithographic
printing press using refrigeration equipment on the fountain solution
in order to comply with §115.442(a)(1)(A), (C), or (D) of this
title (relating to Control Requirements) shall monitor the temperature
of the fountain solution reservoir at least once per hour. Alternatively,
the owner or operator of any offset lithographic printing press using
refrigeration equipment on the fountain solution shall install, maintain,
and continuously operate a temperature monitor of the fountain solution
reservoir. The temperature monitor must be attached to a continuous
recording device such as a strip chart, recorder, or computer.
(6) For any offset lithographic printing press with
automatic cleaning equipment, flow meters are required to monitor
water and cleaning solution flow rates. The flow meters must be calibrated
so that the VOC content of the mixed solution complies with the requirements
of §115.442(a)(1) of this title.
(7) The owner or operator of any offset lithographic
printing press shall maintain the results of any testing conducted
at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified
in §115.445 of this title (relating to Approved Test Methods).
(8) The owner or operator of any offset lithographic
printing press shall maintain all records at the affected facility
for at least two years and make such records available upon request
to authorized representatives of the executive director, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, or any local air pollution
agency with jurisdiction.
(b) In the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria
areas, the following monitoring and recordkeeping requirements apply
in accordance with the appropriate compliance date specified in §115.449
of this title (relating to Compliance Schedules).
(1) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic
printing press claiming an exemption in §115.441 of this title
(relating to Exemptions) shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the applicable exemption criteria. For
example, maintaining records of ink, cleaning solvent, and fountain
solution usage may be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the
exemption provided in §115.441(a) of this title for sources located
on a property with combined VOC emissions less than 3.0 tons per year
when uncontrolled.
(2) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic
printing press shall use one of the following options to demonstrate
compliance with the cleaning solution content limits in §115.442(b)(1)
or (c)(1) of this title.
(A) Flow meters must be used to monitor the water and
cleaning solution flow rates on a press with automatic cleaning equipment.
The flow meters must be installed, maintained, and operated according
to the manufacturer's instructions. The flow meters must be calibrated
so that the VOC concentration of the cleaning solution complies with
the requirements of §115.442(b)(1) or (c)(1) of this title. Records
must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the cleaning
solution content limits in §115.442(b)(1) or (c)(1) of this title.
(B) The VOC concentration of each batch of cleaning
solution must be determined using analytical data derived from the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) or equivalent information from the
supplier that was derived using the approved test methods in §115.445
of this title. The concentration of all VOC used to prepare the batch
and, if diluted prior to use, the proportions that each of these materials
is used must be recorded for each batch of cleaning solution. Records
must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the cleaning
solution content limits in §115.442(b)(1) or (c)(1) of this title.
(3) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic
printing press shall use one of the following options to demonstrate
compliance with the fountain solution content limits in §115.442(b)(2)
- (4) or (c)(2) - (4) of this title.
(A) The VOC concentration of each batch of fountain
solution must be monitored using a refractometer or a hydrometer that
is corrected for temperature. The refractometer or hydrometer must
have a visual, analog, or digital readout with an accuracy of 0.5%
VOC. A standard solution must be used to calibrate the refractometer
for the type of alcohol used in the fountain solution. The VOC content
of the fountain solution may be monitored with a conductivity meter
if it is determined that a refractometer or hydrometer cannot be used
for the type of VOC in the fountain solution. The conductivity meter
reading for the fountain solution must be referenced to the conductivity
of the incoming water. Records must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous
compliance with the fountain solution content limits in §115.442(b)(2)
- (4) or (c)(2) - (4) of this title.
(B) The VOC concentration of each batch fountain solution
must be determined using analytical data from the MSDS or equivalent
information from the supplier that was derived using the approved
test methods in §115.445 of this title. The concentration of
all alcohols or alcohol substitutes used to prepare the batch and,
if diluted prior to use, the proportions that each of these materials
is used must be recorded for each batch of fountain solution. Records
must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with the fountain
solution content limits in §115.442(b)(2) - (4) or (c)(2) - (4)
of this title.
(4) The owner or operator of an offset lithographic
printing press using refrigeration equipment on the fountain solution
reservoir shall monitor and record the fountain solution temperature
at least once per hour. Temperature monitoring devices must be installed,
maintained, and operated according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Records must be sufficient to demonstrate continuous compliance with
the fountain solution content limits in §115.442(b)(2) and (4)
or (c)(2) and (4) of this title.
(5) The owner or operator of a heatset web offset lithographic
printing press shall comply with the following monitoring and recordkeeping
requirements to demonstrate continuous compliance with the control
requirements in §115.442(b)(5) of this title.
