(3) Subrule
(2) of this rule notwithstanding and as an alternative to the allowable
emission rate established by table 63, the existing paper coating lines at
Fletcher paper company of Alpena may comply with subrule
(2) of this rule by not exceeding a volatile organic compound emission rate of
180 tons per calendar year and 30 tons per calendar month.
(4) A person who is responsible for the operation
of a coating line that is subject to this rule shall obtain current information
and keep records necessary for the determination of compliance with this rule,
as required in R 336.2041.
(5) For each coating line, compliance with the
emission limits specified in table 62 and table 63 shall be based upon all of
the following provisions:
(a) For prime coat operations that utilize an electrodeposition process in automobile and light-duty
truck coating lines that are regulated under table 62, compliance shall be
based upon all coatings that belong to the same coating category that is used
during each calendar month averaging period.
For all other coatings, compliance shall be based upon the
volume-weighted average of all coatings which belong to the same coating
category and which are used during each calendar day averaging period. The department may specifically authorize
compliance to be based upon a longer averaging period, which shall not be more
than 1 calendar month.
(b) If coatings that belong to more than 1
coating category are used on the same coating line during the specified
averaging period, then compliance shall be determined separately for each
coating category.
(c) The information
and records as required by subrule (4) of this rule.
(6) Compliance with the emission limits specified
in this rule shall be determined using the applicable method described in the
following subdivisions:
(a) For the prime-electrodeposition
process and for the final repair emission limits specified in table 62, the
method described in either R 336.2040(12)(a) if the coating line does not
have an add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(b) if the
coating line has 1 or more add-on emissions control devices.
(b) For the primer surfacer
and topcoat emission limits specified in table 62, compliance shall be
determined by the methodology described in the publication entitled "Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile
Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and Light-duty Truck Topcoat
Operations," EPA-450/3-88-018, December, 1988, which is
adopted by reference in these rules. A
copy of this document may be inspected at the
(i) Unless specifically included in the adopted
publication, if an anti-chip, color-in-prime, blackout, or spot primer coating
is applied as part of either a primer surfacer or
topcoat coating operation, then the anti-chip, color-in-prime, blackout, or
spot primer coating shall be included in the transfer efficiency tests for that
coating operation, conducted according to section 18 or 19 of the adopted
publication, and the transfer efficiency values in section 20 of the adopted
publication shall not be used.
(ii) If spot primer is applied as part of a primer
surfacer coating operation, then the daily usage of
spot primer, as calculated in section 8 of the adopted publication, may be
derived from monthly usage of spot primer based upon the number of vehicles
processed in the primer surfacer operation each day.
If an add-on emissions control device is used on the coating
line application area to achieve compliance with the primer surfacer
or topcoat emission limits specified in table 62, then the capture efficiency
shall be determined in accordance with R 336.2040(10).
(c) For the emission limits specified in column B
of table 63, the method described in either R 336.2040(12)(e) if the coating
line does not have an add-on emissions control device or R 336.2040(12)(f) if
the coating line has 1 or more add-on emissions control devices.

exception of the provisions in subrule (4) of this
rule, shall not apply to coating lines which are within a stationary source and
which have a combined actual emission rate of volatile organic compounds of
less than 100 pounds per day or 2,000 pounds per month as of the effective date
of this amendatory rule. If the combined
actual emission rate equals or is more than 100 pounds per day for a subsequent
day or 2,000 pounds per month for a subsequent month, then this rule shall
permanently apply to the coating lines.
(8) A person may exclude low-use coatings that
total 55 gallons or less per rolling 12-month period at a stationary source
from the provisions of this rule, except for subrule
(4) of this rule.
(9) Between November 1 and March 31, a person may
discontinue the operation of a natural gas-fired afterburner that is used to
achieve compliance with the emission limits in this rule, unless the
afterburner is used to achieve compliance with, or is required by, any of the
following:

(4) If implementation of the quarterly leak
detection program as specified in subrule (2)(b) of
this rule shows that 2% or less of the process valves in a given refinery unit
are leaking for 2 consecutive quarters, then the inspections of process valves
in that refinery unit may be skipped for 1 quarter. If 2% or less of the process valves in a
given refinery unit are leaking for 5 consecutive quarters, then the
inspections may be done annually. If a
subsequent inspection shows that more than 2% of the process valves are leaking,
then quarterly inspections of valves shall again be required.
(5) The percent of valves leaking on a refinery
unit, as referenced in subrule (4) of this rule,
shall be determined by dividing the total number of valves found to be leaking
on the refinery unit during the specified monitoring period by the total number
of valves on the refinery unit that are required to be monitored by this rule.

such as process drains and valves, that are used solely in effecting a refinery
unit turnaround is required only within the quarter following the turnaround.
(8) A leak that is detected pursuant to the
monitoring program provisions of subrule (2) of this
rule or for any other reason shall be repaired.
Except as provided in subrule (10) of this
rule, this leak shall be repaired as soon as possible, but not more than 15
days after the leak is detected. Until
the time that the leak is repaired and retested verifying a successful repair,
the component causing the leak shall bear a weather-resistant, numbered, identifying
tag that indicates the date the leak was discovered.
(9) A log of all leaks detected pursuant to the
provisions of subrules (2), (3), (5), and (6) of this
rule or by any other method shall be maintained by the operator of the
petroleum refinery. This log shall
identify all of the following:
(a) The leaking component by type and location.

inspections.
The log shall be made available to any representative of the
department during normal business hours of the refinery and shall be kept for a
minimum of 2 years.
(10) If a leak cannot be repaired within 15 days
due to circumstances beyond the control of the operator of the petroleum
refinery or because the leaking component cannot be repaired unless a
significant portion of the refinery unit is shut down for turnaround, then the
operator shall maintain a separate log of the nonrepair. The log shall identify all of the following:
(a) The leaking component by type, location, and
refinery unit.
(b) The date on which the leak was discovered.
(c) The reason why the leak cannot be repaired
within 15 days.
(d) The estimated date of repair.
(11) Within 25 days of the end of the previous
quarter, the operator shall submit to the department a report which contains
all of the following information for that quarter:
(a) The total number of components tested, by
type.
(b) The total number of components found leaking
and repaired, by type.
(c) The accumulative total number of components,
by refinery unit and type, found to be leaking and not repaired within the
required time period and the reason for nonrepair.
(d) The type or types
of monitoring equipment utilized during the quarter.
The report required by
this subrule shall be made on a form approved by the
department.
(12) The department may require the early shutdown
for turnaround of a refinery unit if the department feels that there are a
significant number of leaks that would justify this action.
(13) Except for safety pressure-relief valves, a
person shall not operate existing petroleum refinery equipment that has a valve
at the end of a pipe or line which contains a volatile organic compound, unless
the pipe or line is sealed with a second valve, blind flange, plug, or
cap. The sealing device may be removed
only when a sample is being taken or during maintenance operations. A current, written description detailing
routine sampling procedures and listing the sealing devices involved shall be
maintained and, upon request by the department, shall be submitted to the
department in an acceptable format.
