3. What does the Final Boat NESHAP Require of Emission Sources?

The final NESHAP has various formats for the different operations being regulated. For open molding resin and gel coat operations, compliance with a HAP emission limit that is calculated for a facility uses a MACT model point value equations (described in section 4) Compliance can be demonstrated by a facility with the HAP emission limit either by:
  • Averaging emissions with the MACT model point value equations,
  • Using HAP compliant materials for each type of open molding operation, or
  • Using an add-on control device.
The HAP emissions limit and equivalent HAP compliant material content limits are the same for new and existing sources. Averaging may be used for all open molding operations or only for some of them. For those operations not included in the emissions average, compliance must be demonstrated with one of the alternative provisions. Boat mold

For resin operations, different HAP content limits apply to atomized and nonatomized resinapplication methods. If you use anadd-on control device to meet the emissions limit, the emissions limit is calculated using the MACT model point value equations and is in units of kilograms (kg) of organic HAP per megagram of resin or gel coat consumed.

As stated above, a combination of compliance options for the different resin and gel coat operations may be used within a facility. For example, a hull production line may use several resins and gel coats. A laminating resin that complies with the appropriate HAP content limit can be used, but the averaging approach for the skin coat resin and the production gel coats can be chosen. In another example, the average of all production resins and pigmented gel coats at a facility could be used, but not include clear gel coat, tooling resin, and tooling gel coat.

Resin and gel coat mixing containers with a capacity of 208 liters (55 gallons) or more must be covered. Routine resin and gel coat application equipment cleaning operations must use solvents containing no more than 5 percent organic HAP, but solvents used to remove cured resin or gel coat from equipment are exempt. The containers used to hold the exempt solvent and to clean equipment with cured resin and gel coat must be covered. Carpet and fabric adhesive operations must use adhesives containing no more than 5 percent organic HAP.

Fiberglass boat manufacturingCompliance with the emissions limits in the final Boat NESHAP is based on a 12-month rolling average except when an add-on control device is used. At the end of every month, you determine compliance for each operation based on the HAP content and material consumption data collected over the past 12 months. When an add-on control device is used, compliance is determined through emissions testing and subsequent monitoring.
