Env-A 1205.01 Determination of Emissions.
(a)
The determination of TPEs shall include all emissions from core
activities.
(b)
The determination of actual emissions for the purpose of determining
compliance with the applicable rule or establishing exceptions to
applicability, as provided in Env-A 1201.03 and Env-A 1201.04, respectively,
shall be as prescribed in Env-A 705.03.
(c)
For a coating source that uses add-on control equipment or a bubble to
achieve compliance, the emission rate limit shall be determined on a solids
basis, as specified in (d), below, using the following terms:
(1) “S” means the VOC emission rate limit in
terms of kg/1 (lb/gal) of coating solids;
(2) “dA”
means the actual mass density of VOC in the applied surface coating formulation
in terms of kg/1 (lb/gal), but in the case where
multiple coatings are used, dA means the
weighted average actual mass density of VOC in the applied surface coatings in
terms of kg/1 (lb/gal); and
(3) “Ec”
means the emission rate limit prescribed for the applicable coating category,
subcategory, or process as calculated on a coatings basis, in terms of kg VOC/1
(lb VOC/gal) of coating, as applied to the substrate.
(d)
To calculate the emission rate limit S, the quotient of Ec and dA
shall be subtracted from one and the result shall be divided into Ec, as in the formula below:

rate reductions of 40% or more of the average emission rate during the
applicable time period immediately preceding the
specified time period;
(b)
Process or product changes were implemented during the calendar year
1990, or during the 1990 ozone season, whichever is applicable, that resulted

preceding the specified time period;
(c)
The facility was not in existence or the
applicable VOC-emitting processes or devices were not operational during any
portion of calendar year 1990, or during any portion of the 1990 ozone season,
whichever is applicable; or
(d) Any other reason that the department, using
EPA-approved methods and procedures as specified in 40 CFR § 51.165, determines
is adequate to demonstrate that VOC emissions for calendar year 1990, or the
1990 ozone season, whichever is applicable, were unrepresentative of
normal VOC-emitting facility operations.
