SAN DIEGO COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT

RULE 260.455 - REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
(Rev. Effective 11/3/92)

(a) The reporting requirements of Rule 260.8(a) apply only to the initial performance test. Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart shall include the following data in the report of the initial performance test required under Rule 260.8(a):
 

1. Except as provided in Subsection (a)(2) of this rule, the volume-weighted average mass of VOC's emitted to the atmosphere per volume of applied coating solids (N) for a period of one calendar month from each affected facility.
2. For each affected facility where compliance is determined under the provisions of Rule 260.453(b)(1)(iv), a list of the coatings used during a period of one calendar month, the VOC content of each coating calculated from data determined using Reference Method 24 or supplied by the coating manufacturer, and the minimum transfer efficiency of any coating application equipment used during the month.
3. For each affected facility where compliance is achieved through use of an incineration system, the following additional information will be reported:

(i) The proportion of total VOC's emitted that enters the control device (F).

(ii) The VOC reduction efficiency of the control device (E).

(iii) The average combustion temperature (or the average temperature upstream and downstream of the catalyst bed), and

(iv) A description of the method used to establish the amount of VOC's captured and sent to the incinerator.

1. For each affected facility where compliance is achieved through use of a solvent recovery system, the following additional information will be reported:

   (i) The volume of VOC-solvent recovered (L_r), and

   (ii) The overall VOC emission reduction achieved (R).

(b) Following the initial performance test, the owner or operator of an affected facility shall identify, record, and submit a written report, as specified in Rule 260.7(c), to the Control Officer every calendar quarter of each instance in which the volume-weighted average of the total mass of VOC's emitted to the atmosphere per volume of applied coating solids (N) is greater than the limit specified under Rule 260.452. If no such instances have occurred during a particular quarter, a report stating this shall be submitted to the Control Officer semiannually.

(c) Following the initial performance test, the owner or operator of an affected facility shall identify, record, and report semiannually to the Control Officer the following:
 

1.  Where compliance with Rule 260.452 is achieved through use of thermal incineration, each 3-hour period of coating operation during which the average temperature of the device was more than 28°C below the average temperature of the device during the most recent performance test at which destruction efficiency was determined as specified under Rule 260.453.
2. Where compliance with Rule 260.452 is achieved through the use of catalytic incineration, each 3-hour period of coating operation during which the average temperature recorded immediately before the catalyst bed is more than 28°C below the average temperature at the same location during the most recent performance test at which destruction efficiency was determined as specified under Rule 260.453.

Additionally, all 3-hour periods of coating operation during which the average temperature difference across the catalyst bed is less than 80 percent of the average temperature difference across the catalyst bed during the most recent performance test at which destruction efficiency was determined as specified under Rule 260.453 will be recorded.

1. For thermal and catalytic incinerators, if no such periods as described in Subsections (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this rule occur, the owner or operator shall state this in the report.

(d) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart shall maintain at the source for a period of at least two years, records of all data and calculations used to determine VOC emissions from each affected facility. Where compliance is achieved through the use of thermal incineration, each owner or operator shall maintain at the source daily records of the incinerator combustion chamber temperature. If catalytic incineration is used, the owner or operator shall maintain at the source daily records of the gas temperature, both upstream and downstream of the incinerator catalyst bed. Where compliance is achieved through the use of a solvent recovery system, the owner or operator shall maintain at the source daily records of the amount of solvent recovered by the system for each affected facility.
