These general provisions apply to all owner or operators who are utilizing one or more of the permit-by-rule exemptions listed in paragraphs (A)(4)(b) through (A)(4)(l).

(i) Record Keeping Requirements

The owner or operator shall collect and maintain the records described for each air contaminant source exempted under this rule and these records shall be retained in the owner or operator's files for a period of not less than five years, unless otherwise specified in each exemption. These records shall be made available to the director or any authorized representative of the director for review during normal business hours.

The director may revoke a permit to install and/or permit to operate if the permittee requests revocation, agrees to meet all permit-by-rule qualifying and operating conditions, and the director determines that the revocation will not result in the violation of any applicable laws. When a permittee requests a revocation pursuant to this paragraph, the director, without prior hearing, shall make a final determination on the request and inform the permittee in writing.

(ii) Cleanup solutions shall be kept in covered containers during transport and storage.

(iii)  Shop towels contaminated with cleanup solution shall be kept, when not in use, in covered containers.

(iv) The use of cleanup solutions not meeting  condition (d)(i) above shall not exceed a combined total of 110 gallons in any rolling, 12-month period.

(ii) Applicable Emission Limitations and/or Control Requirements.

(a) The  applicable  rules,  emission  limitations,  and  control requirements  that  apply  to  the  facility  subject  to  this

permit-by-rule are defined in the following table:

Applicable Rule(s)	Applicable Emissions Limitations/Control Requirements
Paragraph (A)(3) of rule 3745-31-05 of the Administrative Code	Facility emissions shall not exceed 25 tons of VOC, 5 tons of a single HAP and 12.5 tons of combined HAPs for any rolling, 12-month period. Compliance with this rule also includes compliance with the requirements of paragraph (G)(2) of rule 3745-21-07 of the Administrative Code.
Paragraph (Y)(2)(b) of rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code (flexographic presses only)	Exempt from the requirements of paragraph (Y)(1) of rule 3745-21-09 of the Administrative Code since the qualifying criteria ensure that the combined maximum usage of coatings and inks in all presses at the facility is less than 148 tons per year.
Paragraph (G)(2) of rule 3745-21-07 of the Administrative Code	Emissions of organic compounds from each non-flexographic printing line shall not exceed 8 pounds per hour and 40 pounds per day on any day in which photochemically reactive materials are used.

(iii) Monitoring and/or Record Keeping Requirements.

(a) If photochemically reactive materials are employed in non-flexographic presses at the facility, the owner or operator of the printing facility shall maintain monthly records as described in paragraph (A)(4)(l)(iii)(c) as well as daily records which list the following information for each graphic arts material (ink, fountain solution additives, clean-up solvents, etc.) employed in each printing line:

(i) The name and identification number of each material employed.

(ii) Documentation   on   whether   or   not   each   material employed is a photochemically reactive material.

(iii)  The quantity of each material employed, in gallons or pounds.

(iv) The organic compound (OC) content of each material, in pounds per gallon, or percent by weight.

(v)The total organic compound emissions from the printing line, in pounds per day (i.e. the product of (iii) x (iv) for each material employed).

(b) If no photochemically reactive materials are employed in the facility operations, the printing facility is only required to maintain monthly records as described in paragraph (A)(4)(l)(iii)(c).

(c) The owner or operator of the printing facility shall maintain monthly records at the facility that list the following information for each graphic arts material (ink, fountain solution additives, cleanup solvents, etc.) employed in the facility:

(i) The name and identification number of each material employed.

(ii) Documentation   on   whether   or   not   each   material employed is a photochemically reactive material.

(iii)  The quantity of each material employed, in gallons or pounds.

(iv) The organic compound (OC) content of each material, in pounds per gallon, or percent by weight.

(v)The individual hazardous air pollutant (HAP) content for each HAP-containing material, in pounds of individual HAP per gallon of material.

(vi) The total combined HAP content of each material, in pounds of combined HAP per gallon of material.

(vii) The rolling, 12-month summation of usage in gallons of each graphic arts material employed if the facility elects to demonstrate compliance with the material usage limitations specified in paragraph (A)(4)(l)(i)(c) of this permit-by-rule; or

(viii) The rolling, 12-month summation of total facility emissions of VOC, individual HAP, and combined HAP from all graphic arts materials employed if the

facility elects to calculate actual emissions to demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations specified in paragraph (A)(4)(l)(i)(b) of this permit-by-rule.

(iv) Permit-by-Rule Specific Reporting Requirements.

(a) For any day when photochemically reactive materials are employed and the organic compound emissions from a non-flexographic printing line exceeded 40 pounds per day, the owner or operator shall submit a report to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office or local air agency that identifies the day, the printing line(s), and the actual organic compound emissions for that day. This report shall be submitted within thirty days after the exceedance occurs.

(v) Testing Requirements.

(a) Compliance with the rolling, 12-month material usage thresholds and/or emission limitations shall be based upon the record keeping requirements specified in paragraphs (A)(4)(l)(iii)(a) through (A)(4)(l)(iii)(c) of this rule.

(b) For screen, letterpress, and non-heatset lithographic printing, compliance with the annual VOC emission limitation is based on the annual material usage limitations, in gallons, multiplied by a maximum VOC content of 7.0 pounds per gallon, and divided by 2000 pounds per ton. For digital printing, compliance with the annual VOC emission limitation is based on the annual material usage limitations, in gallons, multiplied by a maximum VOC content of 7.5 pounds per gallon, and divided by 2000 pounds per ton. For water-based or UV-cured flexographic printing, compliance with the annual VOC emission limitation is based on the annual material usage limitation, in pounds, multiplied by an assumed maximum VOC content of twenty five percent, and divided by 2000 pounds per ton. For solvent-based flexographic printing and heatset lithographic printing, compliance with the annual VOC emission limitation is based on the annual material usage limitation, in pounds, multiplied by an assumed maximum VOC content of one hundred percent, and divided by 2000 pounds per ton. For all printing types, compliance with the annual HAP emission limitations is based on the annual material usage limitations specified in paragraph (A)(4)(l)(i)(c)(i) of this rule, in gallons, multiplied by a maximum HAP content of

7.5 pounds per gallon, and divided by 2000 pounds per ton.

(c) An owner or operator of the facility electing to demonstrate compliance with the annual VOC, HAP, and combined HAP emission limitations by calculating the actual facility emissions may use the actual material VOC contents and usage rates from records required by paragraph (A)(4)(l)(iii) of this permit-by-rule. The calculations shall be performed using methods approved by the Ohio EPA.
