Building No. Laminating, gel coating, and DF Dry filters
1 assembly (110,500 sq. ft. of
(MACT, production area)
Subpart
VVW)
The equipment list for boat manufacturers is intentionally vague. It gives the facility more
production flexibility by allowing them to move equipment and add or remove lamination guns as
needed without going through a permit modification.
Inspection Results
The facilityexpanded their production area with the addition of a 39,000 ft2 building. The facility
p
modeled styrene emissions to demonstrate compliance with toxics. The new permit was issued by
RCO before the modeling was completed. A condition [Section 2.2(3)] (T04)was placed in the
permit requiring a demonstration of compliance for styrene within 90 days of permit issuance. The
original modeling request was sent to AQAB in September 2000. After revisions on March 16 and
March 28 2001 the modelin was approved b y A AB on April 3 2001. Two different production
> 9. pp Y Q p
scenarios were modeled, a temporary one in which all VOC emissions exit through the lamination
stacks, and the normal o erating configuration in which emissions from lamination exit through the
p
lamination stacks and gel coat emissions exit the gel coat booth stacks. The worst case was the
normal operation, in which styrene emissions would be 93% of the 1-hour AAL. In both cases,the
stacks had to be raised to achieve compliance. The two lamination stacks by—15 ft. to 45 ft. above
ground level (agl), and the gel coat booth one by—15 ft. to 40 ft. a91. All the stacks have been raised
and the facility is operating under the normal configuration.
I was accompanied during the inspection by Mr. Denton. The newer building is attached to the old
building and can be isolated by large doors. All lamination is done in the newer building. Nine
lamination of resin guns on booms were installed at the time of inspection. Three were operating.
These are"flow coater" guns. The foam gun on the small boom was being used. There are 22 filters
down the left side of the building. There are 20 on the right side. Each side is vented via external
ductwork to its own stack. The filters looked ok. No problems were noted with the ductwork. The
opacity was 0% from each stack.
i

The gel coat booth(2 guns)was not moved to the new building as originally planned. Instead it was
moved against the shared wall between buildings. As a result, Parker had to remodel their normal
operating scenario. Compliance was indicated,though the stack had to be raised. The second gel
p g p
coat booth, which has not been installed, was also remodeled. The plan at the time of remodeling
was to also put it on the shared wall, on the other side of the bay door. The relocation of the existing
booth began around the end of May of 2001,the booth resumed operation during the first week of
September according to Mr. Harrison(former employee). During that time, all gel coating was done
in the new building, as modeled in the temporary scenario. The booth was being staged during the
inspection. The 34 filters were ok.
The grinding booth is installed in the old building. The booth draws air through the back wall into a
room containing 18 cylindrical filters. The air travels through the two banks of filters and is
exhausted over the top.of the booth back into the plant via ductwork. The front of the booth is
separated from the plant by vertical sections of suspended clear plastic. Grinding was being done.
The filters are cleaned by air pulses and looked ok. The photohelic gauge read 4.7 inches of H2O on
the left bank. The right bank was not operating. A water mist system was added to comply with
OSHA's explosion risk requirements.
The facility is keeping a record of their weekly filter inspections as required. No problems were
e
noted in the records for the period of June through December of 2018.
All observed containers were covered and the facility is keeping a monthly inspection log as
required by 2D .0958. No problems were noted in the records reviewed for the period of June
through December of 2018. This also satisfies their MACT work practices requirement(63.5731).
g p q
The facility is tracking VOC usage as required to stay below their PSD avoidance limit of 250 tons
per year. No problems were seen in the records for the period since the last inspection through
November of 2018. The November VOC emission total for the previous 12 months is 20.1 tons.
Parker has off-white, yellow, gray,tan, light and dark blue gel coats. They have different VOC
contents, and Parker uses the highest value for all gel coats in their calculations.
i
Parker submitted their semi-annual report for the first half of 2018. It covers PSD avoidance and the
filter and work practices inspections. No problems were noted. The facility had additional
p p
monitoring and quarterly reporting for toxics due to styrene and MEK limits. Resin, gel coat, and
catalyst usage were tracked daily. The.NC toxics conditions and quarterly reporting requirements
were removed with issuance of T09. Those VOC sources are covered by the Boat MACT.
Under the averaging option for the Boat MACT, HAP emissions are compared to a calculated limit
on a monthly basis and reported on a semi-annual basis. Parker submitted their initial report
(Implementation Plan) on 09/21/05. The semi-annual report for the first half of 2018 was submitted.
Parker is using EPA"approved" software to track compliance. No emission limits have been
exceeded based on the data through November of 2018. They are keeping the required product
usage records.
Parker cleans their equipment with acetone which is not classified as a HAP. Compliance with
63.5734 is indicated.
63.5740 requires that carpet and adhesive fabric glue contain no more than 5% organic HAP. Parker
uses a water-based glue, so compliance is indicated.

Compliance History
The facility was assessed a$1,000 civil penalty on 07/21/05 for failing to submit their 2004
emissions inventory by 06/30/05. The inventory was submitted on July 12th. Parker also submitted
a request for remission which was denied by the EMC.
The facility was issued a NOV on 08/28/02 for submitting a semi-annual report late. No problems
were contained in the report itself.
i
Permit Revisions
T09 was a renewal. The 2D .1100 condition was removed. Several Boat MACT conditions that
don't apply to this facility were also removed. SSM language was added since Subpart VVVV
doesn't address it and the SSM exemption rules were vacated.
TO was a renewal.
T07 was an administrative amendment to correct a date.
T06 was a renewal.
Conclusions, Comments, and Recommendations
The regulation table in Section 2.LA of the permit still list 2D .1100 as being applicable. This
should be removed during the next permit revision. Also, 2D .0958 no longer applies to this facility.
Parker does not have any emergency generators.
g
No stack testing has been performed at this facility in at least 17 years.
The facilityhas two 6 000 gallon resin tanks that were previously determined to be exempt from
� g p Y p
permitting. They are considered part of the laminating process and were included in the modeling.
The facility added a 213 x 35ft section to the old building in 2002. It is used for storage. The
woodworking operation moved in there as well. The woodworking operation is not permitted, it
exhausts inside. No lamination or gel coating is done in there.
A ventilation system for worker comfort is installed in the old building. The system exhausts
through a stack on the roof. No lamination is done in this building.
Mr. Peffer(former employee) submitted a permit exemption request to RCO in June of 2003. Parker
wanted to exhaust the new grinding booth outside in the summer to keep the plant cooler. The booth
was determined by RCO Permits to be an insignificant source. As of this inspection, Parker had not
altered the booth to vent outside.
In their 2007 emissions inventory, Parker began using the Unified Emission Factors for open
molding of composites published on 07/23/O1. Boat manufactures were instructed to start using
these factors. Parker was using factors from the study published in August of 1997 for the National
Marine Manufacturers Association. The Unified Emission Factors appear to have lowered Parker's
estimated emissions.
The facility appeared to be operating in compliance with their air permit at the time of the
inspection.
