N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 6, § 228-1.6
(d) When an owner and/or operator of a coating line utilizes control equipment to comply with the provisions of this Part, test methods acceptable to the department must be used to determine the overall removal efficiency during a required performance test.
(2) For any control equipment other than VOC/solvent recovery, this determination must include provisions to determine both the efficiency of the capture system and the control equipment. The approved VOC CE test methods are contained in the following table. Test methods 204 through 204F (M204 - M204F) are included in appendix M of 40 CFR part 51 (see table 1, section 200.9 of this Title). The approved test methods for determining the efficiency of the control equipment are listed in subdivision (e) of this section.
| Approved VOC CE Test Methods | |||||
| Protocol | Enclosure Verification | Liquid Input (L) | Captured Emissions (G) | Fugitive Emissions (F) or (FB) | CE formula |
| Permanent Total Enclosure | M204 | NA | NA | NA | Assume 100% |
| Temporary Total Enclosure (gas/gas mass balance test) | M204 | NA | M204B or M204C | M204D | G/(G+F) |
| Temporary Total Enclosure (liquid/gas mass balance test) | M204 | M204A or M204F | NA | M204D | (L-F)/L |
| Building Enclosure (gas/gas mass balance test) | M204 | NA | M204B or M204C | M204D | G/(G+F) |
| Building Enclosure (liquid/gas mass balance test) | M204 | M204A or M204F | NA | M204D | (L-F)/L |
(e) The owner and/or operator of a surface coating line must follow the applicable notification requirements, protocol requirements, and test procedures of Part 202 of this Title for testing and monitoring. Depending upon conditions at a test site, one of the following test methods from appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 (see table 1, section 200.9 of this Title) must be used when measuring VOC contents of a gas stream at the inlet and outlet of a control device to determine the destruction and/or removal efficiency:
(f) If an air cleaning device is used, continuous monitors for the following parameters must be installed, periodically calibrated, and operated when the associated control equipment is operating:
(h) Any information or record showing noncompliance with the requirements of this Part must be reported to the department within 30 days following notice or generation of the information or record.
