The following recordkeeping requirements apply to the owner
or operator of each surface coating process in the Beaumont-Port Arthur,
Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas and
in Gregg, Nueces, and Victoria Counties. Records of non-exempt solvent
washings are not required to be kept if the non-exempt solvent is
directed into containers that prevent evaporation into the atmosphere.
(1) The owner or operator shall satisfy the following
recordkeeping requirements.
(A) A material data sheet must be maintained that documents
the volatile organic compound (VOC) content, composition, solids content,
solvent density, and other relevant information regarding each coating
and solvent available for use in the affected surface coating processes
sufficient to determine continuous compliance with applicable control
limits.
(B) 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 control limits. Such records must be
sufficient to calculate the applicable weighted average of VOC for
all coatings.
(i) As an alternative to the recordkeeping requirements
of this subparagraph, the owner or operator of any vehicle refinishing
(body shop) operation subject to §115.421(11) of this title may
substitute the recordkeeping requirements specified in §106.436
of this title (relating to Auto Body Refinishing Facility (Previously
Standard Exemption 124)) provided that all coatings and solvents meet
the emission limits of §115.421(11) of this title. If the owner
or operator of a vehicle refinishing (body shop) operation that uses
any coating or solvent which exceeds the limits of §115.421(11)
of this title, then the owner or operator shall maintain daily records
of the quantity and type of each coating and solvent consumed in sufficient
detail to calculate the daily weighted average of VOC for all coatings
and solvents.
(ii) As an alternative to the recordkeeping requirements
of this subparagraph, the owner or operator of any wood parts and
products coating operation subject to §115.421(14) of this title
may substitute the recordkeeping requirements specified in §106.231
of this title (relating to Manufacturing, Refinishing, and Restoring
Wood Products) provided that all coatings and solvents meet the emission
limits of §115.421(14) of this title. If the owner or operator
of a wood parts and products coating operation uses any coating or
solvent which exceeds the limits of §115.421(14) of this title,
then the owner or operator shall maintain daily records of the quantity
and type of each coating and solvent consumed in sufficient detail
to calculate the daily weighted average of VOC for all coatings and
solvents.
(iii) As an alternative to the recordkeeping requirements
of this subparagraph, the owner or operator of any surface coating
operation that qualifies for exemption under §115.427(3)(C) of
this title (relating to Exemptions) shall maintain records of total
gallons of coating and solvent used in each month, and total gallons
of coating and solvent used in the previous 12 months.
(C) Records shall be maintained of any testing conducted
at an affected facility in accordance with the provisions specified
in §115.425 of this title (relating to Testing Requirements).
(D) Records required by subparagraphs (A) - (C) of
this paragraph must be maintained for at least two years and must
be made available upon request by representatives of the executive
director, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
or any local air pollution control agency with jurisdiction.
(2) The owner or operator of any surface coating facility
that utilizes a vapor control system approved by the executive director
in accordance with §115.423(3) of this title (relating to Alternate
Control Requirements) shall:
(A) install and maintain monitors to accurately measure
and record operational parameters of all required control devices,
as necessary, to ensure the proper functioning of those devices in
accordance with design specifications, including:
(i) continuous monitoring of the exhaust gas temperature
immediately downstream of direct-flame incinerators and/or the gas
temperature immediately upstream and downstream of any catalyst bed;
(ii) the total amount of VOC recovered by carbon adsorption
or other solvent recovery systems during a calendar month;
(iii) continuous monitoring of carbon adsorption bed
exhaust; and
(iv) appropriate operating parameters for vapor control
systems other than those specified in clauses (i) - (iii) of this
subparagraph;
(B) maintain records of any testing conducted in accordance
with the provisions specified in §115.425(2) of this title; and
(C) maintain all records at the affected facility for
at least two years and make such records available to representatives
of the executive director, EPA, or any local air pollution control
agency with jurisdiction, upon request.
(3) The owner or operator shall maintain, on file,
the capture efficiency protocol submitted under §115.425(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 and/or control device destruction or
removal efficiency test may be required.
(4) The owner or operator shall maintain records sufficient
to document the applicability of the conditions for exemptions referenced
in §115.427 of this title.
(5) The following additional requirements apply to
each aerospace vehicle or component coating process subject to §115.421(10)
of this title. The owner or operator shall:
(A) for coatings:
(i) maintain a current list of coatings in use with
category and VOC content as applied; and
(ii) record coating usage on an annual basis;
(B) for aqueous and semiaqueous hand-wipe cleaning
solvents, maintain a list of materials used with corresponding water
contents;
(C) for vapor pressure compliant hand-wipe cleaning
solvents:
(i) maintain a current list of cleaning solvents in
use with their respective vapor pressures or, for blended solvents,
VOC composite vapor pressures; and
(ii) maintain a record cleaning solvent usage on an
annual basis; and
(D) for cleaning solvents with a vapor pressure greater
than 45 millimeters of mercury at 20 degrees Celsius used in exempt
hand-wipe cleaning operations:
(i) maintain a list of exempt hand-wipe cleaning processes;
and
(ii) maintain a record cleaning solvent usage on an
annual basis.
(6) Except for specialty coatings, compliance with
the recordkeeping requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations §63.752,
(National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework
Facilities), is considered to represent compliance with the requirements
of this section.
