Petition for Exemption7-24-09.pdf; Initial Notification HHHHHH Paint Stripping Coating-Draft
8-20-09.pdf
Steve,
Thank you for the information about Welby's relocation from 3415 Main to 1820 Main in Springfield. This
facility currently does not require an Air Contaminant Discharge Permit (ACDP) but will once LRAP completes
the rulemaking to establish the penmitting 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. Perfonm 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 fonms 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
