(a) The cold cleaner is designed such that the ratio of the freeboard height to the width of
the cleaner is equal to or greater than 0.7.
(b) The solvent bath is covered with water if the solvent is insoluable and has a specific

allowed to evaporate into the atmosphere.
(4) A person responsible for the provisions of this rule shall develop written procedures
for the operation of such provisions, and such procedures shall be posted in an accessible,
