CFR /  Title 40  /  Part 63  /  Sec. 63.4563 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the

(a) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the applicable emission limit in Sec. 63.4490, the organic HAP emission rate for each compliance period, determined according to the procedures in Sec. 63.4561, must be equal to or less than the applicable emission limit in Sec. 63.4490. A compliance period consists of 12 months. Each month after the end of the initial compliance period described in Sec. 63.4560 is the end of a compliance period consisting of that month and the preceding 11 months. You must perform the calculations in Sec. 63.4561 on a monthly basis using data from the previous 12 months of operation. If you are complying with a facility-specific emission limit under Sec. 63.4490(c), you must also perform the calculation using Equation 1 in Sec. 63.4490(c)(2) on a monthly basis using the data from the previous 12 months of operation.

(b) If the organic HAP emission rate for any 12-month compliance period exceeded the applicable emission limit in Sec. 63.4490, this is a deviation from the emission limitation for that compliance period that must be reported as specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4510(c)(6) and 63.4520(a)(7).

(c) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each operating limit required by Sec. 63.4492 that applies to you, as specified in Table 1 to this subpart, when the coating line is in operation.

(1) If an operating parameter is out of the allowed range specified in Table 1 to this subpart, this is a deviation from the operating limit that must be reported as specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4510(c)(6) and 63.4520(a)(7).

(2) If an operating parameter deviates from the operating limit specified in Table 1 to this subpart, then you must assume that the emission capture system and add-on control device were achieving zero efficiency during the time period of the deviation, unless you have other data indicating the actual efficiency of the emission capture system and add-on control device and the use of these data is approved by the Administrator.

(d) You must meet the requirements for bypass lines in Sec. 63.4568(b) for controlled coating operations for which you do not conduct liquid-liquid material balances. If any bypass line is opened and emissions are diverted to the atmosphere when the coating operation is running, this is a deviation that must be reported as specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4510(c)(6) and 63.4520(a)(7). For the purposes of completing the compliance calculations specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4561(h), you must treat the materials used during a deviation on a controlled coating operation as if they were used on an uncontrolled coating operation for the time period of the deviation as indicated in Equation 1 of Sec. 63.4561.

(e) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with the work practice standards in Sec. 63.4493. If you did not develop a work practice plan, or you did not implement the plan, or you did not keep the records required by Sec. 63.4530(i)(8), this is a deviation from the work practice standards that must be reported as specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4510(c)(6) and 63.4520(a)(7).

(f) As part of each semiannual compliance report required in Sec. 63.4520, you must identify the coating operation(s) for which you used the emission rate with add-on controls option. If there were no deviations from the emission limitations, submit a statement that you were in compliance with the emission limitations during the reporting period because the organic HAP emission rate for each compliance period was less than or equal to the applicable emission limit in Sec. 63.4490, and you achieved the operating limits required by Sec. 63.4492 and the work practice standards required by Sec. 63.4493 during each compliance period.

(j) You must maintain records as specified in Sec. Sec. 63.4530 and 63.4531. [69 FR 20990, Apr. 19, 2004, as amended at 71 FR 20465, Apr. 20, 2006]
