F. NSPS/NESHAP Review:
A letter was mailed by DAQ to the facility regarding MACT Subpart 6S for Glass Manufacturing.
In a letter received June 10,2008,the Permittee stated the facility is not subject to NESHAP
Subpart 6S since they do not have continuous furnace operations for glass manufacturing.
The facility is not subject to NESHAP Subpart 5H—Miscellaneous Coating Operation because
the facility is an area source for HAPs. NESHAP Subpart 5H only applies to major HAP sources.
The facility is not subject to NESHAP Subpart 6H—Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface
Coating Operations at Area Sources because the facility does not coat any metal or plastic parts
with paint or inks containing the targeted HAPs.
The facility is not subject to NESHAP Subpart 6J—for Boilers at Area Sources because the
facility's boilers only combust natural gas.
The facility is subject to NESHAP Subpart 4Z. The facility has an existing emergency generator
(ID No. I-EmGen)that is used to have a controlled shut-down if power to the facility is lost.The
facility also has a diesel fire pump(ID No. I-FP). Both generators are considered existing since
they commenced construction in 1985 and 1992.
The facility is not subject to NESHAP 6C since the facility has no gasoline storage tanks.

Observed. The chemical vapor deposition units(ES-1) controlled by a wet scrubber(3WS)were
started on August 23, 201.5. The chemical vapor deposition units(ES-1)use an electromagnetic
field to heat plasma around a glass tube as various chemicals are added to the inner diameter of
the glass tube.The Permittee refers to this process as PCVD. The permittee has two PCVC
machines and both were in operation during the inspection. One unit is located in cell 5 and the
second unit is located in cell 6. The permittee stores bulk SiC14 in the building(ES-18)and
emissions are controlled by the wet scrubber(3WS). Note that the chemical, SiC14, is_piped from
the SiC14 storage room to the chemical vapor deposition units (ES-1). As a result, any emissions
being vented directly from the SiC14 storage room to the scrubber(3WS)are the result of any
malfunctions or leaks in the storage room and minor amounts during tank changes. No issues
were observed at the time of inspection.
Overcladdin Units nits(ES-9)consisting of: Cells 4 and four Cell 5 units venting to Hydrated Lime
In Dry Scrubber Fabric Filter System(ID No. IDS)venting to Selective Catalytic NOx
Reduction System(ID No. I SCR) '
Observed. Overcladding unit(ES-9)was observed in operation with no visible emissions noted
at the time of inspection. The emissions are controlled by the hydrated lime injection dry
scrubber fabric filter system(IDS). The overcladding process consists of silica glass being added
to the outside of a glass rod to increase the diameter on a lathe. An air plasma plume is used to
provide heat to the process. Hydrogen fluoride is produced in the overcladding process and the
emissions are controlled by the hydrated lime injection dry scrubber fabric filter system(IDS).
To control HF, lime is fed from supersacks that are located in the lime feed building and injected
