(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.

(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.

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:

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.
