Table 1 Alternative VOC content requirements for molding resin and gel coat operations

Operation	Application Method	Weighted-Average Monomer VOC Content (weight per cent)
Production resin	Atomized	28.0
Production resin	Nonatomized	35.0
Pigmented gel coat	Any method	33.0
Clear gel coat	Any method	48.0
Tooling resin	Atomized	30.0
Tooling resin	Nonatomized	39.0
Tooling gel coat	Any method	40.0

(ii) The monomer VOC content (weight per cent) shall be determined by using SCAQMD method 312-91. As an alternative, manufacture's formulation data may be used to demonstrate compliance. If there is a discrepancy between the manufacture's formulation data and the results of a subsequent test, test method results will be the determining factor unless the owner or operator can demonstrate to the director that the manufacturer's formulation data are correct.

(iii) Compliance using the VOC content requirements listed in table 1 of this rule is based on a twelve-month rolling average that is calculated at the end of every month. The first twelve-month rolling-average period begins on the compliance date specified in paragraph (K)(1) of this rule. If the owner or operator is using filled material (production resin or tooling resin), the owner or operator shall comply according to the procedure described in paragraph (H)(3) of this rule.

(iv) At the end of the twelfth month after the facility's compliance date and at the end of every subsequent month, the owner or operator shall review the VOC contents of the resins and gel coats used in the past twelve months in each operation. If all resins and gel coats used in an operation have VOC contents no greater than the applicable VOC content limitations in table 1 of this rule, then the owner or operator is in compliance with the emission limitation specified in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule for that twelve-month period for that operation. In addition, the owner or operator does not need to complete the weighted-average VOC content calculation contained in paragraph (H)(2)(a)(v) of this rule for that operation.

(v) In the event the owner or operator does not demonstrate compliance under paragraph (H)(2)(a)(iv) of this rule, at the end of every month, the owner or operator shall use the following equation to calculate the weighted average VOC content for all resins and gel coats used in each operation in the past twelve months.

Where:

M_i = mass of molding resin or gel coat "i" used in the past twelve mo nths in an operation, tons.

VOC_i = Monomer VOC content, by weight percent, of molding resin or gel coat "i" used in the past twelve months in an operation.

n = number of different molding resins or gel coats used in the past twelve months in an operation.

If the weighted-average VOC content for all materials of a certain type and specific application method does not exceed the applicable VOC content limitation specified in table 1 of this rule, then the owner or operator is in compliance with the emission limitation specified in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule.

(b) Emissions averaging option.

(i) Compliance using the emissions averaging option is demonstrated on a twelve-month rolling-average basis and is determined at the end of every month (twelve times per year). The first twelve-month rolling-average period begins on the compliance date specified in paragraph (K)(1) of this rule.

(ii) At the end of the twelfth month after the facility's compliance date and at the end of every subsequent month, use the following equation to demonstrate that the VOC emissions from those operations included in the average do not exceed the emission limitation in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule calculated for the same twelve-month period. (Include terms in the equation specified in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule and the following equation for only those operations and materials included in the average.)

Monomer VOC emissions = Monomer VOC emissions calculated using the monomer VOC emission equations for each operation included in the average, in pounds.

PV_R = Weighted-average monomer VOC emission rate for production resin used in the past twelve months, in pounds per ton.

M_R = Mass of production resin used in the past twelve months, in tons.

PV_PG = Weighted-average monomer VOC emission rate for pigmented gel coat used in the past twelve months, in pounds per ton.

M_PG = Mass of pigmented gel coat used in the past twelve months, in tons.

PV_TG = Weighted-average monomer VOC emission rate for tooling gel coat used in the past twelve months, in pounds per ton.

M_TG = Mass of tooling gel coat used in the past twelve months, in tons.

(iii) At the end of every month, use the following equation to compute the weighted-average monomer VOC emission rate for each molding resin and gel coat operation included in the average.

Where:

PV_OP = weighted-average monomer VOC emission rate for each molding operation (PV_R, PV_PG, PV_CG, PV_TR , and PV_TG ) included in the average, pounds of monomer VOC per ton of material applied.

M_i= mass of resin or gel coat "i" used within an operation in the past twelve months, in tons.

n = number of different molding resins and gel coats used within an operation in the past twelve months.

PV_i = the monomer VOC emission rate for resin or gel coat "i" used within an operation in the past twelve months, pounds of monomer VOC per tons of material applied. PV_i shall equal PV_E as calculated under paragraph (H)(3) of this rule w hen using filled^F resins.

(iv) The owner or operator shall use the equations in table 2 of this rule to calculate the monomer VOC emission rate (PV_i ) for each resin and gel coat used in each operation in the past twelve months.

Table 2 Monomer VOC emission rate formulas for molding operations.

Operation	Application Method	Formula to calculate the monomer VOC emission rate.
Production resin, tooling resin	Atomized	0.014 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.425
	Atomized, plus vacuum bagging with roll-out	0.01185 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.425
	Atomized, plus vacuum bagging without roll-out	0.00945 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.425
	Nonatomized	0.014 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.275
	Nonatomized, plus vacuum bagging with roll-out	0.0110 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.275
	Nonatomized, plus vacuum bagging without roll-out	0.0076 x (Resin VOC per cent)2.275
Pigmented gel coat, clear gel coat, tooling gel coat	All methods	0.445 x (Gel coat VOC per cent)1.675

Equations in table 2 of this rule calculate the monomer VOC emission rate value in kilograms of VOC per megagrams of resin or gel coat applied. To convert the monomer VOC emission rate to pounds per ton multiply the product of the equation by two. The equations for vacuum bagging with roll-out are applicable when a facility rolls out the applied resin and fabric prior to applying the vacuum bagging materials. The equations for vacuum bagging without roll-out are applicable when a facility applies the vacuum bagging materials immediately after resin application without rolling out the resin and fabric. VOC per cent equals VOC content as supplied, expressed as a weight-per cent value between zero and one hundred per cent.

(v) If the monomer VOC emissions, as calculated in paragraph (H)(2)(b)(ii) of this rule, are less than the monomer VOC emission limitation calculated in the equation specified in paragraph (D)(3)(a) of this rule for the same twelve-month period, then the facility is in compliance with the emission limitation calculated in paragraph (D)(3)(a) of this rule for those operations and materials included in the average.

(vi) Those operations and materials not included in this emissions average option shall demonstrate compliance using an option in paragraph (H)(2)(a) or (H)(2)(c) of this rule.

(a) The general provisions specified under paragraphs (A)(2) to (A)(5) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative Code shall apply to the compliance testing.

(b) The test methods and procedures of paragraph (C) of rule 3745-21-10 of the Administrative Code shall be followed.

(c) When calculating the monomer VOC emission limitation in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule, the owner or operator shall use the mass of each material used during the control device performance test (in lieu of the mass of each material used over the past twelve months) to determine the emission limit that is applicable during the test. If the measured emissions at the outlet of the control device are less than the emission limit, then the facility will be considered to have achieved compliance with the emission limit.

(3) The monomer VOC emission limitation (for filled resins) requirement of paragraph (D)(3)(b) of this rule.

(a) If the owner or operator is using a filled production resin or filled tooling resin, compliance shall be demonstrated for the filled material on an as-applied basis using the following equation:

Where:

PV_F= The as-applied monomer VOC emission rate for a filled production resin or tooling resin, pounds of monomer VOC per ton of filled material.

PV_u = The monomer VOC emission rate for the neat (unfilled) resin, before filler is added, as calculated using the formulas in table 2 of this rule.

Per cent filler = The weight-per cent of filler in the as-applied filled resin system.

(b) If the owner or operator is including a filled resin in the emissions averaging procedure described in paragraph (H)(2)(b) of this rule, then the owner or operator shall use the value of PV calculated using the equation above for the value of PV in equations_Fpecified in paragraph (H)(2)(b)(iii) of this rule._i
