The operator of a motor vehicle assembly plant must make available to the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Faune the monthly readings giving the average monthly quantity of volatile organic compounds emitted per volume unit of solids applied to bodies, and also the volume of paint used, the percentage of solids in such paint, the quantity of diluting solvents added, the actual transfer efficiency ratio, and any other information necessary for the computation of emissions. Such computation shall be done with the method established by legislation of the United States, reference 40CFR 60.393.
The standards prescribed in the second paragraph of section 15 shall apply to a shop or room governed by this section.
This section applies in particular to immoveables comprised in a reserved area and in agricultural zone established under the Act to preserve agricultural land (chapter P-41.1).
