Section 218.404 Recordkeeping and Reporting

a) The VOM content of each coating and ink and the efficiency of each capture system and control device shall be determined by the applicable test methods and procedures specified in Section 218.105 of this Part to establish the records required under this Section.

b) Any owner or operator of a printing line which is exempted from any of the limitations of Section 218.401 of this Part because of the criteria in Section 218.402(a) of this Part shall comply with the following:

1) By a date consistent with Section 218.106 of this Part or, for flexographic or rotogravure printing lines that print flexible packaging or that print flexible packaging and non-flexible packaging on the same line, by January 1, 2012, the owner or operator of a flexographic or rotogravure printing line to which this subsection (b) is applicable shall certify to the Agency that the flexographic and rotogravure printing line is exempt under the provisions of Section 218.402(a) of this Part. Such certification shall include:

A) A declaration that the flexographic and rotogravure printing line is exempt from the limitations of the criteria in Section 218.401 of this Part because of Section 218.402(a) of this Part; and

B) Calculations that demonstrate that the combined potential to emit of all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at the source never equals or exceeds 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per year, and that total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at the source never exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices. Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM for a flexographic or rotogravure printing source is the sum of maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from each flexographic and rotogravure printing line at the source. The following equation shall be used to calculate total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices for each flexographic and rotogravure printing line at the source:

where:

E_p	=	Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from one flexographic or rotogravure printing line in units of kg/year (lbs/year);
A	=	Weight of VOM per volume of solids of the coating or ink with the highest VOM content as applied each year on the printing line in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating or ink solids;
B	=	Total volume of solids for all coatings and inks that can potentially be applied each year on the printing line in units of l/year (gal/year). The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the volume of each coating and ink as applied and the amount that can potentially be applied each year on the printing line shall be described in the certification to the Agency;
C	=	Weight of VOM per volume of material for the cleanup material or solvent with the highest VOM content as used each year on the printing line in units of kg/l (lbs VOM/gal);
D	=	The greatest volume of cleanup material or solvent used in any 8-hour period;
F	=	The highest fraction of cleanup material or solvent which is not recycled or recovered for offsite disposal during any 8-hour period.

2) On and after a date consistent with Section 218.106 of this Part, or, for flexographic or rotogravure printing lines that print flexible packaging or that print flexible packaging and non-flexible packaging on the same line, on and after January 1, 2012, the owner or operator of a flexographic and rotogravure printing line referenced in this subsection shall collect and record all of the following information each year for each printing line and maintain the information at the source for a period of three years:

A) The name and identification number of each coating and ink as applied on each printing line.

B) The VOM content and the volume of each coating and ink as applied each year on each printing line.

3) On and after a date consistent with Section 218.106 of this Part, or, for flexographic or rotogravure printing lines that print flexible packaging or that print flexible packaging and non-flexible packaging on the same line, on and after January 1, 2012, the owner or operator of a flexographic and rotogravure printing line exempted from the limitations of Section 218.401 of this Part because of the criteria in Section 218.402(a) of this Part shall notify the Agency of any record showing that total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all printing lines exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) in any calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices, or that the combined potential to emit of all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at the source equals or exceeds 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM in any calendar year, by sending a copy of such record to the Agency within 30 days after the exceedance occurs.
