5. When Must an Affected Facility Comply?

Existing boat manufacturing facilities must comply within 3 years of August 22, 2001 or August 22, 2004. New sources that commence construction after July 14, 2000 must comply by August 22, 2001 or upon startup, whichever is later. Existing and new area sources that become major sources after August 22, 2001 must comply within 1 year after becoming a major source or by August 22, 2004, whichever is later.

Installing carpetExisting sources using pollution prevention approaches for compliance will need to make changes in application equipment and raw materials. US EPA believes these sources need the full 3 year period provided by the CAA to evaluate different resins, gel coats, carpet and fabric adhesives, or aluminum recreational boat surface coatings and the effects of these changes on production processes and product performance. In addition, US EPA believes that providing the maximum amount of allowable time will encourage more sources to use compliant materials rather than emissions averaging, thereby reducing the amount of records and paperwork needed to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance.

IncineratorIf an existing source chooses to use an add-on control device to comply, the full 3 years provided by the CAA is necessary to allow sufficient time to design, purchase, install, and work out operational problems that occur in trying to start up a new control device.
