NESHAP Applicability:
Ms.Bridges sent DAQ FRO a letter dated 16 January 2012 stating facility was incorrect for sending IN
for 6H on 19 March 2009 stating subject to this regulation due to manganese. Facility has not purchased
or used any chemical compounds that would make it subject to 6H since 2009. Review of MSDS records
indicated no chemical compounds are in chemical products to make facility subject to this regulation.
DIRECTIONS:
From FRO take highway 87 south and travel about 35 miles toward Elizabethtown. On the Hwy 87 south
bypass,turn left at the stoplight onto US 701. Travel about 1.5 miles and the facility is on the right.
Standard DAO FRO Safety gear: Glasses are required in all areas, whereas ear-plugs and hard hat only
in fabrication and assembly areas when machinery is operating. Be alert to fork-lifts and golf carts
moving around while on facility grounds.
PROCESS/FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
Taylor Manufacturing builds farm equipment, small metal storage buildings and wood/coal burning water
heaters. Taylor receives sheet metal and structural tubing. There are different buildings for the
fabrication, assembly/welding, and finishing of the products. The permitted emission sources are six
spray booths each about 8 ft by 15 ft, large enough to accommodate products. These booths are used for
the painting of the product and the application of the insulating foam.

Production estimate 40 units of various sizes in 2012
Opening Conference:
On 29 January 2013,I,Pam Vivian of DAQ FRO met with Mr. Charles King,Plant Supervisor, since Ms.
Bridges was not available. I explained being there for a compliance inspection. Mr. King reviewed the
FACFINDER. He provided me with a copy of the current permit. I asked if the facility had changed
anything since the last inspection and he said nothing had changed to include a slow economy. He said
his sprayer,Dallas Barns has the log for the filters. The facility still has not used any MEK or styrene in
their manufacturing process since later part of 2008 and that is the future intention. I reminded him the
annual report for stipulation A.9 was due by 1 March 2013 for calendar year 2012. He made a note and
placed it on Ms.Bridger's desk. He then guided us on the inspection.
Facility Inspection:
We first went into the metal fabrication building. I observed 8 employees cutting various sheet metals.
As noted in last year's inspection and still observed this year, although machinery still installed, most is
rarely operated. There are still about 4 separate work stations operating. Mr. King prefers to shift
employees around to cross train and keep everyone up to date with the entire process.
We went to the assembly/welding building where about 6 employees were manufacturing the heaters and
other metal frames, while welding the sheet metal together.
We went to the finishing building where the paint and insulating foam are applied to the final product.
This enclosed building has 6 separate spray booths in it, each about 15' by 8' and each with its own fabric
filter control device. Only booths ES-2 and ES-6 operated this year(ES 2 sprays paints, whereas ES 6
sprays insulation foam). At ES 2,Mr. Barns was removing tape from the frame he had recently sprayed.
He stopped and provided the log that indicated filters for ES 2 &6 were changed in August 2012. There
is not enough business to operate all six spray booths and the facility opted not to change the other booth
filters especially since only two specific sources are used. .Curtis Reeds,another sprayer was working at
ES-6 applying insulation on a heater frame. These two men are the primary painters/applicators for this

part of the process. Mr. King said it generally takes about four days from start to finish for one water
heater.
We went to the warehouse where nuts and bolts are applied to complete any given manufactured product
and also where inventory is stored until shipped. Supplies necessary for manufacturing product is also
stored in this building. He noted the economy has slowed down for them but by Spring,other potential
business may be on the horizon for the facility.
STIPULATIONS:
A.3 2D .0515 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—,Particulate matter emissions from
the emission sources shall not exceed calculated allowable emission rates.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—Permit reviews indicate that calculated allowable rates will not be
exceeded. Subject processes have not changed appreciably since the permit reviews.
A.4 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—visible emissions from the
emission sources,manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity when
averaged over a six-minute period,
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—Zero VE was observed from the stacks and doorways.
A.6 2D. .0540 "PARTICULATES FROM FUGITIVE DUST EMISSION SOURCES,"—Permittee
shall not cause or allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess
visible emissions beyond the property boundary.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—No emissions were observed at the facility boundaries. The facility
grounds are paved to include the parking and shipping areas.
A.7 2D.0958(c)WORK PRACTICES REQUIREMENTS—Careful handling, storage and clean-up of
solvents.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—There were no uncovered containers of paint or other solvents
observed during this inspection. Covered waste containers are at various locations around the facility
where manufacturing needs require disposal of such materials and had covers on each. Mr. King said he
reminds the employees of this work practice. All containers in the storage room were covered.
A.8 20.0711 TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS LIMITATION REQUIREMENT-The
Permittee shall limit the emissions of all TAPS, including styrene,toluene,MEK,and xylene to less than
the TPER limit.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—Processes have not changed since permit review,and there has been
a downward trend in emission rates, due to reformulation and reduced business. Facility is well below the
toxic limits in their permit.
A.9 20.0803 EXCLUSIONARY RULE REQUIREMENTS -The Permittee shall limit VOC
emissions to less than 100 tpy,the largest HAP emission to less than 10 tpy, and the total HAP emission
to less than 25 tpy and report it to this office by 1 March for the previous year's usage.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—The annual report for CY 2011 was received 1 March 2012 and
reported usage as: Total VOCs— 12,2771bs; Greatest HAPs(toluene)— 1165 lbs; and Total HAPs—
1632 lbs.
112r Status:
The facility does not use or store applicable chemical compounds in quantities requiring a written risk
management plan.
COMPLIANCE HISTORY:

There have not been any non compliant issues at this facility.
COMMENTS/COMPLIANCE:
Economy has decreased business which decreases chemical usage,thus emissions. The facility appeared
to be in compliance with its current air permit.
