6. How Does an Affected Facility Demonstrate Compliance?

Unless an add-on control device is used, the HAP content of all the materials regulated by the final NESHAP must be measured and Fiberglass boat manufacturingrecorded. HAP content may be determined using test methods specified in the NESHAP, or documentation provided by the material manufacturer, such as a material safety data sheet (MSDS), can be used to show compliance. Air pollution control inspectors will use the test method results to determine compliance if they differ from the manufacturer's documentation.

Compliance with the HAP content limits is based on the weighted-average HAP content for each material on a 12- month rolling-average basis. Compliance is determined at the end of every month (12 times per year) based on the past 12 months of data. To determine weighted-average HAP content, facilities will also need to monitor and record the amount of each regulated material used per month, as well as HAP content. On the compliance date, new and existing sources must begin collecting the data needed to demonstrate compliance.

Fiberglass boatIf all of the material in a particular operation meets the applicable HAP content limit, then no records of the amount of material used need to be kept. Likewise, there is no need to perform and record any calculations to determine weighted-average HAP content.

For open molding resin and gel coat operations, how to show compliance will depend on which compliance option is chosen. For example, if the facility chooses to average among several open molding resin and gel coat operations, they will have greater operating flexibility. But the facility will also need to do more recordkeeping and calculations to show compliance than if they complied with each individual HAP content limit.

Also, a facility must complete an implementation plan for the open molding operations at their facility that are included in an averaging option. The implementation plan must describe the resin and gel coat materials the facility plans to use, their HAP contents, and the application process for these materials to show compliance. The plan must also include calculations showing that the choice of materials and application methods that will achieve compliance. Records must be kept of the HAP content of all materials that are subject to HAP content limits.

Records must be kept of the amount of material used and any calculations performed to determine compliance using Non-compliant coverweighted-average HAP contents or the averaging option for open molding operations. Every month, inspections must be performed of the covers required by the work practice standards for resin and gel coat mixing containers and aluminum recreational boat coating spray gun cleaners. Facilities must also keep records of the results of these inspections and any repairs made to the covers. All records must be kept for 5 years (at least the last 2 years of records must be kept onsite). After the initial compliance demonstration, all sources must complete semiannual compliance reports.
