FACILITY OPERATING REQUIREMENTS (continued): Application Process Limits: z Only the largest facilities can be described as major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions which fall under federal rules called NESHAPs (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) found at 40 CFR Part 63 MMMM and 40 CFR Part 63 PPPP. The Federal EPA created the list of Hazardous Air Pollutants, chemicals that cause or may cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive or birth defects, or adverse environmental and ecological effects. To be a major source, these facilities must emit at least 10 tons per year of any single HAPs or 25 tons of mixed HAP. For these facilities, HAP limits on a lbs/gal coatings solids or lbs/lb coatings solids are specified with recordkeeping required for validation. z At a minimum, all refinish and fleet operations (disregarding the size of the facility) must comply with the national rule for refinish coatings found at 40 CFR Parts 9 & 59. This regulation sets ready-to-spray VOC limits for coatings by the intended use definition. Many states have similar rules and some localities also have lower limits intended to reduce VOC emissions for coatings and cleaners. Rules may also impact content (heavy metals, exempt solvents…) and equipment requirements (spray booths, HVLP…). z VOC and HAP documentation is frequently a reporting requirement of regulating agencies. On its VOC charts and Product Data Sheets (PDS), PPG supplies "as packaged" and "ready-to-spray" VOC information. This information is also available on www.PPGRefinish.com or from your local PPG distributor. z SDS are available on www.PPGRefinish.com or upon request from your local PPG Territory Manager. SDS contain hazardous ingredients, correct personal protective gear and address EH&S concerns. More detail on this subject is addressed in Section V of this manual. Air permits may also define requirements related to booth filters. This may include inspection or replacement frequency and pressure drop requirements. HEALTH SAFETY ENVIRONMENT PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP
