Introduction
On November 27,2018,Paul Williams,Environmental Specialist of the DAQ WSRO, contacted Mr. Gary Graybeal,
Compliance Manager,and Mike Absher,Maintenance Manager, of American Emergency Vehicles,Inc.—Remount
Facility for an unannounced targeted compliance inspection.This facility was previously inspected,by this inspector, on
February 27,2017 and was found to be operating in compliance at that time. American Emergency Vehicles,Inc.—
Remount facility replaces existing ambulance chassis and interior cabinetry and currently operates Monday through
Thursday 6:30 am to 5:00 pm, 50 weeks/year. This facility also operates,occasionally, on Fridays. Mr. Graybeal
confirmed that all IBEAM contacts were accurate. He also stated that business has increased since the prior inspection.
Safety Equipment
Safety shoes,hearing protection and eye protection are required within manufacturing areas of this facility.
Applicable Regulations
According to permit Condition A.1,the facility is subject to the following regulations: Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code(NCAC), Subchapter 2D .0202,2D .0515,2D .0516,2D.0521,2D .0535,2D .0540,2D .0958,2D
.1806, and 2Q .0711. The facility is not subject to the RMP requirements of the 112(r)program since it does not use or
store any of the regulated chemicals in quantities above the threshold in the rule. The facility is only subject to the
General Duty clause of the Section 112(r)program because they do not produce,use or store any regulated chemicals in
quantities above their corresponding threshold limits.
Discussion
This facility takes existing ambulances,removes the body, and remounts them onto a new chassis. The ambulances also
receive touch-up painting and new interior cabinets if desired by the customer. Mr. Graybeal stated that ambulances are
typically refitted with a new chassis approximately every three to four years. The process begins as ambulances are
received and disassembled. The facility then strips the interiors and removes the existing chassis. The rear"box"is then
prepped prior to being repainted(if required) in one of the two exempt body prep.areas equipped with two natural gas-
fired pressure washers(I-ES-1). These areas were observed but were not in active operation during this inspection. Once
the body and box are cleaned of any excess road grime/dirt,they are sent to the exempt welding operations(I-ES-2)where
any necessary minor body repairs are made. The welding stations were not in active use during this inspection.
If the body and box require repainting,they are prepped and then sent to a dry filter primer spray booth equipped a natural
gas-fired burner(ES-3). This primer booth was not in active use during the inspection. After priming,the body and box
are painted in the dry filter paint spray booth equipped with a natural gas-fired burner(ES-2). Paint booth ES-2 was
observed operating,with no visible emissions detected. The filters, for both spray booths,appeared to be in good
condition and were installed with no visible gaps observed. Records indicate that filters are replace on a routine schedule.
The facility is also permitted for a glue spray booth(ES-1). This booth is used to glue any cabinetry and/or interior pieces
-� that are required to be repaired or replace prior to the body and box being attached to the new chassis. Glue booth ES-1
was not in active operation during this inspection.
During this inspection, it was discovered that several sources have been installed since the prior inspection conducted on
February 27, 2017. The new sources include; I body prep area(much like source I-ES-1), 1 dry filter spray booth
. 1 ..
equipped with a direct-fired natural gas burner(akin to source ES-2), a CNC router with and externally exhausting
bagfilter emission control device, I MEK(methyl ethyl ketone) recovery unit, and a Kohler IOOkW natural gas-fired
emergency generator. Mr. Graybeal stated that the facility has contracted an outside vender(Nixon Power Services of
Charlotte) to perform the required maintenance for this unit. This genset is a holdover unit from the previous company
that operated within this building(Gates Corp. —facility ID#0500055). The unit's name plate indicated that it is a
Kohler model I00RZG(serial#2189208), manufactured in January of 2008. During this inspection the non-resettable
hour meter read 269.9 total hours of operation. Mr. Graybeal indicated that the facil ity tests the genset for 10-15 minutes
once per week.
Mr. Graybeal also stated that as soon as the corporate office notified him of these source additions, he sent the
information to their consultant, INENCO, Inc., out of Mooresville, NC. He continued by saying that INENCO was
working to process the information and associated calculations for submittal to Air Quality and that he would contact
them to find out what their timeframe was. Mr. Graybill sent this inspector an email stating that the source information
was submitted to INENCO on March 20, 2018 and that Mr. James Willard II was the designated consultant. The email
also contained Mr. Willard's contact information.
On the afternoon of November 28`h, Mr. Ryan Osborne, Environmental Consultant for INENCO telephoned this inspector.
Mr. Osborne stated that he had been assigned to process American Emergency Vehicles-Remount Facility's added
source submittals. He also stated that he planned to have these forms and supporting calculations submitted to DAQ-
WSRO by mid-December, at the latest.
Permit Conditions/Applicable Regulations
Condition A.2 contains 15A NCAC 2D .0202 permit renewal and emissions inventory requirements. The current permit
expires April 3 0,2024,and the facility is required to submit a renewal request and air pollution emission inventory report
for the 2022 calendar year at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the permit. This condition was discussed with Mr.
Graybeal, and future compliance is anticipated.
Condition A.3 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0515 particulate control requirement. This condition sets the maximum
allowable particulate emissions using the following two equations:
E=4.10 * (P)°67 for P<=30 tons/hr. or
E= 5 5 * (P)°11 -40 for P>3 0 tons/hr
This rule applies to the glue spray booth(:ES-1), dry filter paint spray booth(ES-2), dry filter prime spray booth(ES-3),
exempt body preparation areas(I-ES-1), and exempt welding operations(I-ES-2). According to permit review ROO,the
anticipated controlled emission rates are less than the allowable emissions and are shown in the table below.Compliance
with this condition is anticipated.

Introduction
On November 27,2018,Paul Williams,Environmental Specialist of the DAQ WSRO, contacted Mr. Gary Graybeal,
Compliance Manager,and Mike Absher,Maintenance Manager, of American Emergency Vehicles,Inc.—Remount
Facility for an unannounced targeted compliance inspection.This facility was previously inspected,by this inspector, on
February 27,2017 and was found to be operating in compliance at that time. American Emergency Vehicles,Inc.—
Remount facility replaces existing ambulance chassis and interior cabinetry and currently operates Monday through
Thursday 6:30 am to 5:00 pm, 50 weeks/year. This facility also operates,occasionally, on Fridays. Mr. Graybeal
confirmed that all IBEAM contacts were accurate. He also stated that business has increased since the prior inspection.
Safety Equipment
Safety shoes,hearing protection and eye protection are required within manufacturing areas of this facility.
Applicable Regulations
According to permit Condition A.1,the facility is subject to the following regulations: Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code(NCAC), Subchapter 2D .0202,2D .0515,2D .0516,2D.0521,2D .0535,2D .0540,2D .0958,2D
.1806, and 2Q .0711. The facility is not subject to the RMP requirements of the 112(r)program since it does not use or
store any of the regulated chemicals in quantities above the threshold in the rule. The facility is only subject to the
General Duty clause of the Section 112(r)program because they do not produce,use or store any regulated chemicals in
quantities above their corresponding threshold limits.
Discussion
This facility takes existing ambulances,removes the body, and remounts them onto a new chassis. The ambulances also
receive touch-up painting and new interior cabinets if desired by the customer. Mr. Graybeal stated that ambulances are
typically refitted with a new chassis approximately every three to four years. The process begins as ambulances are
received and disassembled. The facility then strips the interiors and removes the existing chassis. The rear"box"is then
prepped prior to being repainted(if required) in one of the two exempt body prep.areas equipped with two natural gas-
fired pressure washers(I-ES-1). These areas were observed but were not in active operation during this inspection. Once
the body and box are cleaned of any excess road grime/dirt,they are sent to the exempt welding operations(I-ES-2)where
any necessary minor body repairs are made. The welding stations were not in active use during this inspection.
If the body and box require repainting,they are prepped and then sent to a dry filter primer spray booth equipped a natural
gas-fired burner(ES-3). This primer booth was not in active use during the inspection. After priming,the body and box
are painted in the dry filter paint spray booth equipped with a natural gas-fired burner(ES-2). Paint booth ES-2 was
observed operating,with no visible emissions detected. The filters, for both spray booths,appeared to be in good
condition and were installed with no visible gaps observed. Records indicate that filters are replace on a routine schedule.
The facility is also permitted for a glue spray booth(ES-1). This booth is used to glue any cabinetry and/or interior pieces
-� that are required to be repaired or replace prior to the body and box being attached to the new chassis. Glue booth ES-1
was not in active operation during this inspection.
During this inspection, it was discovered that several sources have been installed since the prior inspection conducted on
February 27, 2017. The new sources include; I body prep area(much like source I-ES-1), 1 dry filter spray booth
. 1 ..
equipped with a direct-fired natural gas burner(akin to source ES-2), a CNC router with and externally exhausting
bagfilter emission control device, I MEK(methyl ethyl ketone) recovery unit, and a Kohler IOOkW natural gas-fired
emergency generator. Mr. Graybeal stated that the facility has contracted an outside vender(Nixon Power Services of
Charlotte) to perform the required maintenance for this unit. This genset is a holdover unit from the previous company
that operated within this building(Gates Corp. —facility ID#0500055). The unit's name plate indicated that it is a
Kohler model I00RZG(serial#2189208), manufactured in January of 2008. During this inspection the non-resettable
hour meter read 269.9 total hours of operation. Mr. Graybeal indicated that the facil ity tests the genset for 10-15 minutes
once per week.
Mr. Graybeal also stated that as soon as the corporate office notified him of these source additions, he sent the
information to their consultant, INENCO, Inc., out of Mooresville, NC. He continued by saying that INENCO was
working to process the information and associated calculations for submittal to Air Quality and that he would contact
them to find out what their timeframe was. Mr. Graybill sent this inspector an email stating that the source information
was submitted to INENCO on March 20, 2018 and that Mr. James Willard II was the designated consultant. The email
also contained Mr. Willard's contact information.
On the afternoon of November 28`h, Mr. Ryan Osborne, Environmental Consultant for INENCO telephoned this inspector.
Mr. Osborne stated that he had been assigned to process American Emergency Vehicles-Remount Facility's added
source submittals. He also stated that he planned to have these forms and supporting calculations submitted to DAQ-
WSRO by mid-December, at the latest.
Permit Conditions/Applicable Regulations
Condition A.2 contains 15A NCAC 2D .0202 permit renewal and emissions inventory requirements. The current permit
expires April 3 0,2024,and the facility is required to submit a renewal request and air pollution emission inventory report
for the 2022 calendar year at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the permit. This condition was discussed with Mr.
Graybeal, and future compliance is anticipated.
Condition A.3 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0515 particulate control requirement. This condition sets the maximum
allowable particulate emissions using the following two equations:
E=4.10 * (P)°67 for P<=30 tons/hr. or
E= 5 5 * (P)°11 -40 for P>3 0 tons/hr
This rule applies to the glue spray booth(:ES-1), dry filter paint spray booth(ES-2), dry filter prime spray booth(ES-3),
exempt body preparation areas(I-ES-1), and exempt welding operations(I-ES-2). According to permit review ROO,the
anticipated controlled emission rates are less than the allowable emissions and are shown in the table below.Compliance
