The facility has a spray room equipped with five exhaust fans with dry filter type controls
installed on a metal finishing operation. The spray room was in use during this compliance

observed. All finishes are applied using an airless spray system. The facility has not had any
fugitive dust complaints, and Mr. Tucker stated that there had not been any excess emissions.

and TAPS from the paint sprayed onto metal parts. The facility provided total aggregate emission
data for 2013 (2.08 tons), 2014 (2.31 tons), and 2015 (1.75 tons). During the compliance
assurance visit, the facility provided me with total aggregate emission data for 2020 (2.15 tons)
and 2021 (2.92 tons). Total emissions continue to be less than 5 tons per year.
