9VAC5-40-4620. Definitions.
A. For the purpose of these regulations and subsequent amendments or any orders issued by the board, the words or terms shall have the meanings given them in subsection C of this section.
B. As used in this article, all terms not defined here shall have the meanings given them in 9VAC5 Chapter 10 (9VAC5-10-10 et seq.), unless otherwise required by context.
C. Terms defined.
"Application area" means the area where the coating is applied by spraying, dipping or flow coating techniques.
"Carbon adsorption system" means a device containing activated carbon as the adsorbent material, an inlet and outlet for exhaust gases, and a system to regenerate the saturated adsorbent. The carbon adsorption system must provide for the proper disposal or reuse of all volatile organic compounds in the adsorbate.
"Coating applicator" means an apparatus used to apply a surface coating.
"Coating application system" means any operation or system where a surface coating of one type or function is applied, dried or cured and which is subject to the same emission standard. May include any equipment which applies, conveys, dries or cures a surface coating, including, but not limited to, spray booths, flow coaters, flashoff areas, air dryers, drying areas and ovens. It is not necessary for a coating application system to have an oven, flashoff area or drying area to be included in this definition.
"Flashoff area" means the space between the application area and the oven.
"Metal furniture coating" means the surface coating of any furniture made of metal or any metal part which will be assembled with other metal, wood, fabric, plastic or glass parts to form a furniture piece.
"Oven" means a chamber within which heat is used to bake, cure, polymerize or dry a surface coating or any combination of those.

9VAC5-40-4630. Standard for volatile organic compounds.
A. No owner or other person shall cause or permit the discharge into the atmosphere from a coating application system any volatile organic compound in excess of 3.0 pounds per gallon of coating, excluding water, as delivered by the coating applicator.
B. Achievement of the emission standard in subsection A of this section by use of methods in 9VAC5-40-4640 will be acceptable to the board.
C. No owner or other person shall use any coating system or equipment unless reasonable precautions are taken to minimize the discharge of emissions from cleaning or purging operations. Reasonable precautions may include the following:
1. The use of capture or control devices or both;
2. The use of detergents, high pressure water, or other nonvolatile cleaning methods;
3. The minimization of the quantity of volatile organic compounds used to clean lines of equipment; and
4. The adjustment of production schedules to minimize coating changes thereby reducing the need for frequent cleaning or purging of a system.
