(d)    Emission Quantification Methodology

1. The following emissions quantification methodologies shall be used to determine the amount of AQIP emission reductions required to satisfy the emission limitations of a Selected Regulation IV rule or Regulation XI rule pursuant to clause (e)(6)(A)(iii) of Rule 2501:

   (A)    The following methodology shall apply to any source, except those sources using a coating which is subject to an Allowable Rule Emission Limitation:
    

   AQIPRequired	=	(ERr x AL) - [ERa x (AL x PAF)]
   Where:
   AQIPRequired	=	Required AQIP Emission Reductions (pounds)
   ERr	=	Requested Emission Limitation (pounds/unit of Activity Level)

    

   AL	=	Activity Level specified in the AQIP Plan Registration which is projected to occur during the Investment Period
   ERa	=	Allowable Rule Emission Limitation (pounds/unit of Activity Level)
   PAF	=	Performance Adjustment Factor, if applicable

    
   (i)    The value of PAF (if applicable) shall be the ratio of Performance/Efficiency at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation to the Performance/Efficiency at the Requested Emission Limitation.

   (ii)    The PAF shall be equal to 1 unless a determination has been made pursuant to clause (d)(1)(A)(iii) that the PAF has a value other than 1.

   (iii)    The Executive Officer may specify a PAF other than 1 if the Performance/Efficiency at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation represents a change that is greater than or equal to a 10 percent increase or decrease in the Performance/Efficiency at the Requested Emission Limitation. The Executive Officer shall make this determination on a source category basis using the following:
    

   (I)     information and data used in the development of a District approved rule, including but not limited to the Rule Staff Report, Environmental Assessment, Socioeconomic Assessment or documents referenced or used in the preparation of the aforementioned reports;

   (II)     technology reviews, assessments, or reports;

   (III)     manufacturers’ specification data including but not limited to design, operating, and/or material specifications of the Source, VOC-Containing Material, or fuel used;

   (IV)     in-use operational data or test results, provided the data or testing is conducted to characterize a category or population of Sources and is representative of the Sources’ operating conditions, application of VOC-Containing Materials, or fuel usage to which the AQIP emission reductions shall be applied; and

   (V)     operational data or test results to substantiate the Performance/Efficiencies of the Allowable Rule and Requested Emission Limitation are representative of the quantity and diversity of Sources and reflect the variation within the category or population of Sources. In no case shall the Executive Officer approve a PAF based on operational data or testing from prototype units; and

   (VI)     the change in the Performance/Efficiency of combustion Sources which is measured in terms of energy input per unit of energy output when operating at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation as compared with operating at the Requested Emission Limitation; and

   (VII)     the change in the Performance/Efficiency of Sources using solvents which is measured in terms of the solvent usage for a specific application when using a solvent at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation as compared with a solvent at the Requested Emission Limitation.
    

   (iv)    An Investor may submit information and data identified under clause (d)(1)(A)(iii) with the Plan, to document that the Performance/Efficiency at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation represents a change that is greater than or equal to a 10 percent increase or decrease in the Performance/Efficiency at the Requested Emission Limitation:
    
   (I)    when the Executive Officer has not specified a PAF other than 1 pursuant to clause (d)(1)(A)(iii); or

   (II)   to propose a different PAF when the Executive Officer has specified a PAF other than 1 pursuant to clause (d)(1)(A)(iii).  The Executive Officer shall approve or disapprove the value of the PAF based on the criteria set forth in clause (d)(1)(A)(iii).
    

   (B)    The following methodology shall apply to any Source using a coating which is subject to a Regulation XI VOC emission limitation:
    

   Where:
   AQIPRequired	=	Required AQIP Emission Reductions (pounds)
   Qr	=	quantity of material applied, at the Requested Emission Limitation, which is projected to occur during the Investment Period (gallons)
   VOCr	=	VOC content at the Requested Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC per gallon of applied coating, less water, less exempt solvent)
   dr	=	density of VOC solvent at the Requested Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC per gallon of VOC)
   CEr	=	overall percent control efficiency at the Requested Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC reduced in the emission control system per pound of VOC emission generated over uncontrolled conditions); if no emission control system exists, then CEr is zero
   VOCa	=	VOC content at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC per gallon of coating, less water, less exempt solvent)
   da	=	density of VOC solvent at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC per gallon of VOC)

    
2. The following methodology shall be used to quantify the amount of AQIP emission reductions remaining in order to comply with the reporting requirements of subdivision (g) of this rule and paragraph (e)(6) of Rule 2501:

   AQIPRemaining	=	AQIPPurchased - AQIPUsed
   Where:
   AQIPRemaining	=	Remaining AQIP Emission Reductions (pounds)
   AQIPPurchased	=	Purchased AQIP Emission Reductions (pounds)
   AQIPUsed	=	Used AQIP Emission Reductions (pounds)

    

   (A)    As required under clause (e)(6)(A)(iii) of Rule 2501, the value of AQIP_Purchased shall be greater than or equal to the amount of AQIP_Used.

   (B)    AQIP_Used shall be determined using the emissions quantification methodologies specified in paragraph (d)(1), except that the quantities of AL and Q_r shall be the actual Activity Level and quantity of coating used, rather than the projected quantities.

   (C)    If an Investor prevents VOC emissions due to offsite waste shipments or solvent recycling techniques or processes which recover a portion of the original volume of the VOC-Containing Materials specified in the Plan, the value AQIP_Used as determined pursuant to subparagraph (d)(2)(B) of this rule may, upon Executive Officer approval, be reduced by the quantity of Waste Adjustment. The Executive Officer shall approve the reduction, provided the Investor has submitted the records required by subparagraph (f)(1)(G). If an Investor elects to apply Waste Adjustment, the Investor shall maintain separate waste streams and/or storage containers for each VOC-Containing Material specified in the Plan. Waste streams and/or storage containers which contain a mixture of each VOC-Containing Material specified in the Plan and any additional VOC-Containing Materials shall not be applied towards the Waste Adjustment. The following methodology shall be used to quantify the value of Waste Adjustment:

    

   Where:
   Waste Adjustment	=	the amount of VOC emissions as defined in paragraph (c)(16)
   Q	=	the quantity of organic liquid waste generated during the Investment Period resulting from the use of VOC-Containing Materials identified in the Plan (gallons of coating or solvent waste, or if applicable, pounds of lithographic ink waste)
   VOC	=	VOCr (applicable to a coating), ERr, (applicable to a solvent) or lithographic oil content at the Requested Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC per gallon of material or, if applicable, pounds of lithographic oil per pound of lithographic ink)
   WAF	=	waste adjustment factor (percentage of organic liquid waste which may be claimed)
   RF	=	the VOC retention factor for lithographic printing operations (0.2 for gas or electric dryer, 0.5 for infrared dryer, 0.9 for no dryer)
   CEr	=	overall percent control efficiency at the Requested Emission Limitation (pounds of VOC reduced in the emission control system per pound of VOC emission generated over uncontrolled conditions); if no emission control system exists, then CEr is zero
   Material %	=	percent of original VOC-Containing Material in Q measured in terms of volume % for coatings and solvents, and by weight % for lithographic inks
   R	=	the ratio of the VOC at the Allowable Rule Emission Limitation to that at the Requested Emission Limitation where the units of VOC are expressed in terms of pounds of VOC per gallon of coating (or ink) less water and less exempt solvent, or pounds of VOC per gallon of material (applicable to a solvent)
   PAF	=	Performance Adjustment Factor, if applicable

    

   The value of WAF shall be 1 if the value of Material % is determined by a laboratory analysis. If Material % is determined from the waste profile data on a hazardous waste manifest, then the value of WAF shall be 0.5.

(e)    Monitoring

1. Prior to the Investment Period, an Investor submitting a Plan as required under paragraph (e)(2) of Rule 2501 shall along with the Plan submit sufficient data and documentation to support the monitoring performed in order to substantiate the values of ER_r and if applicable CE_r and VOC_r, according to the following list in hierarchical order:
