This facility currently does not require an Air Contaminant Discharge Penmit (ACDP) but will once LRAP completes the rulemaking to establish the permitting requirements sometime in 2010. Under EPA regulations, Welby's would be considered a "new source" at their proposed new location under EPA's regulations pertaining to surface coating operations (40 CFR 63 Subpart HHHHHH - Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources). The EPA rule requires them to: 1. Apply the coatings in a spray booth with a 98% efficient filter. 2. Use HVLP spray guns or equivalent 3. Perform gun cleaning without atomizing solvent. 4. Train and certify all painters including these 4 basic elements: a. spray efficiency technique to minimize paint overspray and usage, b. spray gun equipment selection, setup and operation c. routine paint booth filter selection, maintenance, and replacement d. cover environmental compliance with the EPA rule (classroom portion). They can petition to be exempt from the rule if they certify that their coatings do not contain the HAPs. In any case LRAPA needs one of the two forms completed and submitted asap. I will be contacting them directly about this as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Max Max Hueftle, P.E.
