Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-19-63
(a) The provisions of this regulation shall be applicable to each automobile or light duty truck top coat and primer surfacer surface coating operation and all other automobile or light duty truck surface coating application systems at those facilities which have a VOC potential contaminant emission rate equal to or greater than three tons per year. For the purposes of this rule, surface coating operation means the combination of all coating application systems which apply the specific class of surface coatings identified at table A of subsection (b). The VOC potential contaminant emission rate of a facility shall be determined by:
(b) An owner or operator of any facility subject to this regulation shall not:
(1) conduct any surface coating operation that emits VOC to the atmosphere in excess of the amount specified in table A below.
| Table A | |
| VOC Emission Limits Based on Solids Applied | |
| Surface Coating Operation | Emission Limit (Pounds of VOC/Gal. of Solids Applied) |
| Top coat | 15.1 |
| Primer surfacer | 15.1 |
(2) operate any surface coating application system that emits VOC to the atmosphere in excess of the amount specified in table B below.
| Table B | ||
| Surface Coating Application System | Coating Characteristics lb/gal coating (minus exempt VOC and water) | Compliance Date |
| Body primer coat | 1.2 | 12-31-82 |
| Body primer-surfacer coat | 3.0 2.8 | 12-31-82 12-31-87 |
| Body top coat | 5.8 5.0 2.8 | 07-01-80 12-31-81 12-31-87 |
| Body final repair coat | 6.5 4.8 | 07-01-80 12-31-87 |
| Miscellaneous metal parts | 3.5 | 07-01-82 |
(c) Use of additional VOC shall be considered as follows:
(d) The emission limits which will result from the use of coatings in subsection (b) shall be achieved by:
(3) application, for the capture and reduction of VOC emissions through either destruction or collection, of emission control equipment demonstrated through testing as capable of maintaining an overall VOC emission reduction necessary to meet the emission requirements of subsection (b). Use of emission control equipment shall require that continuous monitors be installed, calibrated, operated and maintained. Maintenance records of the monitors shall be kept and made available for department inspection. The monitors shall continuously measure and record the following parameters:
(e) Prior to 180 days after a facility becomes subject to the provisions of this regulation, the owner or operator of the facility shall demonstrate, at the expense of the owner or operator, initial compliance with this regulation by testing. An owner or operator proposing to conduct testing shall notify the department, in writing, of the intent to test not later than 30 days prior to the proposed date of testing. The owner or operator shall submit to the department any information about the proposed test requested by the department. The department may require, at any time necessary to determine compliance with this regulation, the owner or operator of any facility subject to this regulation to demonstrate compliance by testing, and at the expense of the owner or operator. Testing, for purposes of this regulation, shall be approved by the department and consistent with:
(g) Demonstration of continual compliance per coating application system not covered by subsection (f), achieved by subsection (d)(3) or (d)(4) shall be based on the finding that the results obtained by the formula in (2) are equal to or less than the results obtained by the formula in (1), both results on a daily weighted average basis.
(1) complying coating equivalent emissions expressed as:
VOC, lbsgal. of solids applied = EL (VS) (TE)
| EL | = | the coating characteristics established by this regulation, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating, less exempt VOC and water. |
| VS | = | volume fraction of solids in EL, expressed as a decimal, where the density of coating solvents is assumed to be 7.36 pounds per gallon, less exempt VOC and water. |
| TE | = | baseline transfer efficiency as defined at K.A.R. 28-19-61, expressed as a decimal. |
(2) Actual coating equivalent emissions expressed as:
VOC, lbsgal. of solids applied = AC (1-E) (vs) (te)
| AC | = | pounds of VOC per gallon of the coating as delivered to the coating application system, less exempt VOC and water. |
| E | = | the demonstrated efficiency of installed vapor processing system determined by the actual vapor collection system efficiency multiplied by the actual VOC emission control device efficiency, expressed as a decimal. |
| vs | = | volume fraction of solids of the coating as delivered to the coating application system, expressed as a decimal. For water-borne coatings, the volume fraction of solids is determined without water. |
| te | = | the demonstrated transfer efficiency of the coating application system, expressed as a decimal. |
The owner or operator shall determine AC and vs by using 40 CFR Part 60, appendix A, reference method 24, as in effect July 1, 1989, and data supplied by the coating manufacturer adjusted by the VOC used for thinning purposes; or from analysis of coatings as applied. The analysis shall be conducted by the owner or operator in accordance with reference method 24, as in effect July 1, 1989. If manufacturers formulation data is used, verification of the data may be required by reference method 24, or a department approved equivalent method, and at the expense of the owner or operator.
(h) The owner or operator of each emission unit within a facility subject to this regulation shall keep and maintain records at the facility and make available for inspection by a department representative to determine continuous compliance of the facility with this regulation.
(2) In order to demonstrate compliance for coating application systems under table B of subsection (b), the records shall include the following information and shall be kept at the facility for two years following the date of record:
(i) demonstrates that it uses only coatings that have been determined to be in compliance with table B of subsection (b) of this regulation; and
(ii) has received written approval from the department for a waiver from this requirement;
