(d) The applicability equations in subsection (e), which require the calculation of uncontrolled total annual mass emissions and flow rate value, shall be used to determine whether a unit operation or a batch process train is subject to the control requirements in section 3 of this rule. The applicability equations shall be applied to the following:
(1) Any unit operation with uncontrolled total annual mass emissions that exceed five hundred (500) pounds per year and with a VOC concentration greater than five hundred (500) parts per million by volume (ppmv). In this individual determination, no applicability analysis shall be performed for any unit operation with a VOC concentration of less than or equal to five hundred (500) ppmv.

Any unit operation with uncontrolled total annual mass emissions exceeding five hundred (500) pounds per year, regardless of VOC concentration, shall be included in the aggregate applicability analysis.
(e) Applicability equations under this subsection are specific to volatility and are as follows:
(1) Abbreviations are as follows:

FR = [0.07 (UTAME)] - 1,821
(B) Process vents with a WAV that is greater than seventy-five (75) mmHg, but less than or equal to one hundred fifty (150) mmHg at twenty (20) degrees Celsius (sixty-eight (68) degrees Fahrenheit), shall use the following equation:
FR = [0.031 (UTAME)] - 494
(C) Process vents with a WAV that is greater than one hundred fifty (150) mmHg at twenty (20) degrees Celsius (sixty-eight (68) degrees Fahrenheit), shall use the following equation:
FR = [0.013 (UTAME)] – 301
(f) For purposes of subsection (a), an emission unit shall be considered regulated by a rule, section, or subpart if it is subject to the limits of that rule, section, or subpart. An emission unit is not considered regulated by a rule, section, or subpart if it is not subject to the limits of that rule, section, or subpart. For example, if the emission unit is covered by an exemption in the rule, section, or subpart, or the applicability criteria of the rule, section, or subpart are not met, then the source is not subject to rule, section, or subpart. An emission unit is also not considered regulated if there is no rule contained in this article regulating the source category.

Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4; IC 13-17-3-11
Sec. 2. The following definitions apply throughout this rule:
(1) "Aggregate" means the summation of all process vents containing VOC within a process.
(2) "Batch cycle" means a manufacturing event of an intermediate or product from start to finish in a batch process train.
(3) "Batch operation" means a noncontinuous operation in which a discrete quantity or batch of feed is charged into a unit operation within a batch process train and processed at one (1) time. Batch operation includes noncontinuous operations in which the equipment is fed intermittently or discontinuously. Addition of raw material and withdrawal of product do not occur simultaneously in a batch operation. After each batch operation, the equipment is generally emptied before a fresh batch is started.
(4) "Batch process train" means the collection of equipment, such as:
(A) reactors;
(B) filters;
(C) dryers;
(D) distillation columns;
(E) extractors;
(F) crystallizers;
(G) blend tanks;
(H) neutralizer tanks;
(I) digesters;
(J) surge tanks; and
(K) product separators;
configured to produce a specific product or intermediate by a batch operation. A batch process train terminates at the point of storage or product handling of the product or intermediate being produced in the batch process train. Irrespective of the product being produced, a batch process train that is independent of other processes shall be considered a single batch process train for purposes of this rule.
(5) "Boiler" means any enclosed combustion device that extracts useful energy in the form of steam.
(6) "Btu" means British thermal unit.
(7) "Continuous recorder" means a data recording device that either records:
(A) an instantaneous data value at least once every fifteen (15) minutes; or
(B) fifteen (15) minute or more frequent block average values.
(8) "Control device" means any device or combination of devices designed to recover or destroy VOC vapors received from the process vents. A recovery device that is a required part of the process, for example, but not limited to, condensers operating under reflux conditions, is not a control device.
(9) "Emission event" means a discrete period of venting that is associated with a unit operation. For example, a displacement of vapor resulting from the charging of a unit operation with VOC will result in a discrete emission event that will last through the duration of the charge and will have an average flow rate equal to the rate of the charge. The expulsion of expanded unit operation vapor space when the vessel is heated is also an emission event. Both of these examples of emission events and others may occur in the same unit operation during the course of the batch cycle. If the flow rate measurement for any discrete period of venting is zero (0), then the event is not an emission event for purposes of this rule.
(10) "Flame zone" means the portion of the combustion chamber in a boiler occupied by the flame envelope.
(11) "Incinerator" means any enclosed combustion device that is used for destroying organic compounds. Auxiliary fuel may be used to heat waste gas to combustion temperatures. Any energy recovery section present is not physically formed into one (1) section; rather, the energy recovery system is a separate section following the combustion section and the two are joined by ducting or connections that carry fuel gas.
(12) "MmHg" means millimeters of mercury.
(13) "Permit" means a permit issued by the commissioner under 326 IAC 2.
(14) "Ppmv" means parts per million by volume.
(15) "Process vent" means a vent gas stream that is discharged from a unit operation or multiple unit operations within the same batch process train that are manifolded together into a common header. A process vent begins at the inlet to the control device prior to mixing with vent gas streams from other process trains or unrelated operations or, in the absence of a control device, at the point of discharge to the atmosphere. The term does not include exhaust streams from exhaust hood and building ventilation fans that are used to provide ventilation for workers and not to collect and discharge emissions from specific unit operations. Process vents exclude the following:
(A) Relief valve discharges.
(B) Leaks from equipment.
(C) Vents from storage tanks.
(D) Vents from transfer or loading operations.
(E) Vents from wastewater.
(16) "Recovery device" means an individual unit of equipment, such as:
(A) an absorber;
(B) a carbon adsorber; or
(C) a condenser;
capable of and used for the purpose of recovering chemicals for use, reuse, or sale.
(17) "Recovery system" means an individual recovery device or series of such devices applied to the same vent stream.
(18) "Scfm" means standard cubic feet per minute.
(19) "Standard industrial classification code" or "SIC code" means a series of four (4) digit codes devised by the office of management and budget (OMB) of the federal government to classify establishments according to the type of economic activity in which they are engaged.
(20) "Unit operation" means one (1) or more pieces of process equipment used to make a single change to the physical or chemical characteristics of one (1) or more process streams. Equipment used for these purposes includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(A) Reactors.
(B) Filters.
(C) Dryers.
(D) Distillation columns.
(E) Extractors.
(F) Crystallizers.

If using U.S. EPA Method 18, readings shall be taken continuously with a maximum of fifteen (15) minute intervals between measurements throughout the batch cycle unless it becomes necessary to change the impinger train, in which case a thirty (30) minute interval shall not be exceeded.
(ii) For batch cycles of eight (8) hours and greater in length, the owner or operator may either test in accordance with the test procedures defined in item (i) or the owner or operator may elect to perform tests, pursuant to either U.S. EPA Method 25A or U.S. EPA Method 18, only during those portions of each emission event that define the emission profile of each emission event occurring within the batch cycle. For each emission event of less than four (4) hours in duration, the owner or operator shall test continuously over the entire emission event as set forth in item (i). For each emission event of greater than four (4) hours in duration, the owner or operator shall elect either to perform a minimum of three (3) one (1) hour test runs during the emission event or shall test continuously over the entire emission event within each unit operation in the batch process train. To demonstrate that the portion of the emission event to be tested defines the emission profile for the emission event, the owner or operator electing to rely on this option shall develop an emission profile for the entire emission event. The emission profile shall be based upon either process knowledge or test data collected. Examples of information that could constitute process knowledge include, but are not limited to, calculations based on material balances and process stoichiometry. Previous test results may be used provided the results are still relevant to the current
process vent stream conditions.
(B) The mass emission rate from the process vent or inlet to the control device shall be determined by combining concentration and flow rate measurements taken simultaneously at sampling sites selected in accordance with subdivision (1) throughout the batch cycle.
(C) The mass emission rate from the control device outlet shall be obtained by combining concentration and flow rate measurements taken simultaneously at sampling sites selected in accordance with subdivision (1) throughout the batch cycle.

326 IAC 8-20-5 Alternate methods of control
Authority: IC 13-14-8; IC 13-17-3-4; IC 13-17-3-11
Sec. 5. Alternate methods of demonstrating and documenting continuous compliance with the applicable control requirements or exemption criteria in this rule may be used if approved by U.S. EPA. The approval shall occur when the department is informed, in writing, that U.S. EPA has no objections to the alternate method or methods of control. The alternate methods of control are as follows:
(1) Ninety percent (90%) overall control option. As an alternative to the control requirements of section 4 of this rule, the owner or operator of waste management units may elect to ensure that the overall control of VOC emissions at the source from wastewater from affected source industries is at least ninety percent (90%) less than the calendar year baseline emissions inventory for VOC emissions to the ambient air from process wastewater, provided that adequate documentation is submitted that supports the accuracy of the calendar year baseline emission inventory and the following requirements are met:
(A) To qualify for the control option available under this subdivision after the effective date of this rule, the owner or operator of a waste management unit for which a control plan was not previously submitted shall submit a control plan to the department that demonstrates that the overall control of VOC emissions at the source from wastewater from affected industrial categories will be at least ninety percent (90%) less than the calendar year baseline emissions inventory. Any control plan submitted after the effective date of this rule must be approved by U.S. EPA in writing before the owner or operator may use the control option available under this subdivision for compliance. At a minimum, the control plan shall include the following:
(i) The applicable emissions unit identification.
(ii) The source ID.
(iii) The calendar year baseline emission rates of VOC from wastewater from applicable industrial categories (consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions inventory).
(iv) A plot plan showing the location, the emissions unit identification, and ID associated with a waste management unit.
(v) The VOC emission rates for the preceding calendar year.
(vi) An explanation of the record keeping procedure and calculations that will be used to demonstrate compliance.
The VOC emission rates shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions inventory.
(B) The owner or operator shall submit an annual report no later than March 31 of each year to the department that demonstrates that the overall control of VOC emissions at the account from wastewater from affected industrial categories during the preceding calendar year is at least ninety percent (90%) less than the baseline emissions inventory. At a minimum, the report shall include the following:
(i) The source ID.
(ii) The emissions unit identification.
(iii) The throughput of wastewater from calendar year.
The emission rates for the preceding calendar year shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions inventory.
(C) All representations in control plans and annual reports become enforceable conditions. No variation from such representations is allowed if the variation will cause a change in the identity of the specific emission sources being controlled or the method of control of emissions unless the owner or operator submits a revised control plan to the department not later than thirty (30) days after the change. All control plans and reports shall include documentation that the overall reduction of VOC emissions at the account from wastewater from affected source categories continues to be at least ninety percent (90%) less than the calendar year baseline emissions inventory. The emission rates shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions inventory.
(D) For waste management units, the calendar year baseline is 2002.
(2) The owner or operator of an affected industrial category may elect to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR 63, Subpart G* (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents, Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater), 40 CFR 63, Subpart JJJ* (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Group IV Polymers and Resins), 40 CFR 63, Subpart FFFF* (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing), or any other emission standard promulgated under 40 CFR 63 that references the wastewater control requirements set forth in 40 CFR 63, Subpart G* if the wastewater stream is subject to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants control requirements for that category, as alternatives to complying with this rule, provided the following:
(A) The term "affected VOC" is substituted each place that 40 CFR 63, Subpart G*, 40 CFR 63, Subpart JJJ*, 40 CFR 63, Subpart FFFF*, and any other 40 CFR 63 emission standard references the term "organic hazardous air pollutant" or "organic HAP".
(B) For affected VOC not specifically listed in table 9 of 40 CFR 63, Subpart G*, the corresponding fraction removed (Fr) value shall be determined using one (1) of the following methods:
(i) Determine the Fr value by the procedures in 40 CFR 60, Appendix J*, as proposed on December 9, 1998, in the Federal Register.
(ii) Assign an Fr value of 0.99.
(iii) Use WATER9, a wastewater treatment model of U.S. EPA, to determine the Fr value of a chemical.
(C) Before implementing the option available under this subdivision, the owner or operator provides written notice to the department of their intent to use this option.

Sec. 9. (a) For coatings that are not waterborne (water reducible), the owner or operator shall determine the VOC content of each formulation (less water and less exempt solvents) as applied using manufacturer's supplied data or 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 24*. If there is a discrepancy between the manufacturer's formulation data and the results of the Method 24 analysis, compliance shall be based on the results from the Method 24 analysis. For waterborne (water reducible) coatings, manufacturer's supplied data alone can be used to determine the VOC of each formulation.
(b) The following test methods apply to cleaning solvents:
(1) For aqueous and semiaqueous cleaning solvents, manufacturers' supplied data shall be used to determine the water content.
(2) For hand wipe cleaning solvents, manufacturers' supplied data or standard engineering reference texts or other equivalent methods shall be used to determine the vapor pressure or VOC composite vapor pressure for blended cleaning solvents.
(c) Measurements of volatile organic compound emissions for control equipment, subject to section 6 of this rule, shall be conducted in accordance with 326 IAC 8-1-4(d) through 326 IAC 8-1-4(f).
