1. Is the facility operating?
Mr. Dilley stated that the plant is still operating at full capacity. This facility manufactures
institutional upholstered furniture for the medical industry and as such, it was deemed essential
and did not close during the pandemic. The facility also converted one of the production lines to
make cloth face coverings and masks for front line workers. During the onsite inspection on
April 17, 2018, the facility was operating forty hours per week with 43 employees.As of the date
of this PCE(May 20, 2020),this was still the case.Mr. Dilley did state that if an onsite inspection
was requested, the inspector would need to go through a health screening at the front desk and to
wear and provide their own PPE.
2. Is the facility continuing to operate all control devices as identified in the air permit?
The facility does not have any control devices.The four emissions sources (ES-1, ES-2, ES-3,
ES-4),which are the four(4) dry-filter type paint spray booths, are operating. The facility uses
Akzo Nobel products (Stain, sealer, and topcoat.)All filters are being kept in operating order
and are being well maintained as stated by Mr. Dilley. Mr. Dilley stated that the filters are
cleaned or replaced every two weeks on average.The facility sprays approximately 125-140
gallons of finishing material per month.
I reminded Mr. Dilley that if the facility continues to operate,then they must continue to maintain
the spray booths in a manner that minimizes overspray and emissions to the outdoors. Mr. Dilley
did not offer any issue the facility might have with keeping the spray booths in operable condition
during the pandemic.
