REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding 10-Year Review:
This is a 10-year review. The language and formatting of this AO have been updated to reflect the style of modern permits. PTE values and the approved equipment list have been moved to respective new sections. The source is not modifying and/or installing any equipment. The PTE for PM2.5 was not specified in the previous AO (DAQE-0251-93 dated April 12, 1993). For a conservative estimate, the PTE of PM2.5 was set equal to the PTE of PM10 (1.47 tpy). There are no other changes to the emission estimates at this time.
[Last updated September 25, 2024] 2. Comment regarding Federal Standard Applicability: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS)
There are no applicable NSPS subparts. 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP) There are no applicable NESHAP subparts. 40 CFR 63 (MACT) There are no applicable MACT subparts. [Last updated November 14, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Title V Requirements: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following: 1. Any major source 2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; 3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous Air Pollutants.
4. Any Title IV affected source.
This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS), 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP), or 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a Part 70 permit as an area source; thus, Title V does not apply as per R307-415-4(2)(c).

Hi Sterling,
The most recent compliance report for Richard's Sheet Metal mentions internally vented laser metal cutters and internally vented welding stations. Can you confirm
that you have this equipment on site? If so, would you like it to be added to your permit for informational purposes?
Thanks,
Lucia

Lucia,
We do have laser cu ng machines and they all discharge through HEPA filtered baghouses which are maintained on a weekly basis. In line with the OSHA
standards for welding emissions, we shi ed several years ago to advanced process welding machines using solid wire only and specialized spray, pulse and
wave pulse procedures to eliminate welding fume and exhaust that you would normally see with Flux Core of Metal Cored wire. I do not see any reason why
these systems would need to be added to the permit. It had been discussed with prior auditors and they opinion a er looking at the opera on was it was not
needed or required.

Sounds good. The laser cutters and welding stations have been left off the permit.
Earlier you said the facility could be described by a combination of SIC codes 3443 and 3444. Fabricated Plate Work (boiler shops), SIC code 3443, is one of nine
source categories regulated by 40 CFR 63 Subpart XXXXXX which may require a number of notifications (initial and ongoing), recordkeeping, and visible emission
monitoring components.
Richards sheet metal would be subject to Subpart XXXXXX if the facility uses any materials that contain or have the potential to emit metal fabrication or finishing
metal HAP (MFHAP). [40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart XXXXXX]
MFHAP are defined as compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, and nickel, or any of these metals in the elemental form excluding lead.
Materials that contain MFHAP are defined as "materials that contain cadmium, chromium, lead, or nickel in amounts greater than or equal to 0.1 percent
by weight (of the metal), and materials that contain manganese in amounts greater than or equal to 1.0 percent by weight (of the metal), as shown in
formulation data provided by the manufacturer or supplier, such as the Material Safety Data Sheet for the material." [40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart
XXXXXX]
You can view the full subpart text here: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-63/subpart-XXXXXX
Does the Richards Sheet Metal use any materials that would trigger Subpart XXXXXX?

Lucia,
A er reviewing the provided document we note that we do work in stainless steel which has chromium and nickel content greater than 0.1% of the base
material. Generally the grades of stainless steel we work in are type 304 and type 316. Those generally would have Chromium ranging from 16-20%, Nickel at
8 to 14% and Manganese at 2%. This represents approximately 10% of our annual output based on volume of material processed. Our primary material
processed is carbon steel components.
All of these materials are processed in our facility by shearing, punching (no fumes produced, or by laser cu ng. All laser equipment is installed with industry
approved HEPA filter systems with system controlled limits.

All welding ac vi es at our facility are performed by using welding processes with reduced fume genera on capabili es, advanced process welding
procedure, solid wire filler metals, and op mized welding procedure specifica ons and procedures to minimize any welding fume or visible emissions. On the
rare occasion when a customer specifica on is not able to be adjusted to accommodate these processes and procedures, we have mobile HEPA fume source
capture equipment and our welding personnel are provided with PAPR welding systems to provide safe breathable air on these occasions.
With regards to the document it would appear that only we only would be applicable to 63.11514, a, 2 and 8, and the products noted above that are
contained in the stainless steel we use.
As a note, the equipment manufactures of our laser systems we use for cu ng are Trumpf and Bystronic. Their engineering and manufacturing programs are
designed and operated to assure customers such as Richards that the equipment purchased and installed by them meet the criteria imposed by the countries
within which the equipment is operated.
Hopefully this is a sa sfactory response to this inquiry.
In reviewing our past records it appears that we went through a similar ac vity in 2016 without any problems. Our inten on is to always comply with any
regula ons regardless of what they may be and to provide our employees and the community we operate in a safe environment.

Periodic Permit Review, 10954: Richards Sheet Metal- Richard Sheet Metal (Utah Division of Air Quality)

Hi Sterling,
Your Approval Order (AO) is due for its customary 10-year review. This review typically involves updating your old permit (DAQE-0251-93) to align with the
language and formatting of current AOs. As I began the review process, I noticed that you would likely qualify for a Small Source Exemption (SSE), as your annual
emissions appear to be below the thresholds that necessitate an AO.
Before proceeding with updates to your AO, I wanted to offer you the option to switch to an SSE. If you choose this route, you would no longer need to pay the
annual NSR fee or undergo regular compliance inspections.
To make this switch please submit an SSE application here:
https://utahgov.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3t4JtgzRudum7l3
For more information about SSEs, you can visit the Department of Environmental Quality's website here:
https://deq.utah.gov/air-quality/new-source-review-exemptions-from-permitting-air-quality
Alternatively, you're welcome to maintain your current AO. If you choose to keep your existing permit, I will contact you to confirm your contact information and
discuss any relevant permit updates.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Best,
Lucia

Hi Sterling,
Sounds good. To add some clarification, from your most recent compliance report it's clear that you're under the SSE criteria pollutant limit of 5 tons/year (your VOC
emissions total to ~1.591 tons/year). That being said, I couldn't tell what your HAP breakdown looked like. Just be aware that you'll only qualify for a SSE if you
emit less than:
500lbs/year of each HAP individually and
2,000lbs/year of all HAPs combined
I suggested you look into a SSE because at the end of your most recent compliance report the inspector left a comment saying that "a small source exemption was
suggested to Mr. Jensen as most of their emissions come from painting operations which are now mostly outsourced."
Keep me posted on your progress.

Hi Sterling,
Thanks for your Small Source Exemption (SSE) application! I'm going to need some additional information before determining if you qualify for an SSE.
To be eligible for an SSE you must adhere three requirements which are described below (and can be referenced here: https://deq.utah.gov/air-quality/new-source-
review-exemptions-from-permitting-air-quality).
The first requirement is that a source must emit less than 5 tons/year of any criteria pollutant. You likely qualify here given that, according to your initial
submission, you primarily emit VOCs and are under 5 tons of annual emissions.
The second requirement is that a source must emit less than 500 pounds per year of any individual Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) and less than 2,000
pounds per year of all HAPs combined. Your initial submission didn't include any HAP emission records. Please add this to your application using any HAPs
listed on your paint SDSs. A complete list of HAPs can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/haps/initial-list-hazardous-air-pollutants-modifications.
The last requirement has the same limitations as the second, only it apples to toxic emissions that aren't listed as HAPs. This final requirement isn't applicable to
most sources but your original AO lists a series of toxic chemicals used at the facility that could result in unusual emissions. We need to confirm nothing toxic is
being emitted in large amounts so please add include any toxic emissions in your application even if the pollutant isn't listed as a HAP.
For all your calculations, please submit any spreadsheets, SDSs, consumption records, or other supporting documents you reference in your
calculations. We need these documents to confirm your annual emissions and process your application.
Please reach out with any questions. You can reach me at this email or by phone at (385) 707-7669.

Thanks for the addi onal informa on. The above a ached files are maintained on a monthly basis and indicate the amounts of coa ng products we bring in.
I will have my assistant go through the SDS for the items we list and check for HAP’s that may be components of the coa ng systems we use.
Kind regards,

Sounds good. Thank you.
Do you have records from 2022? We'll need two years worth of data for the months between now and the end of the year.

Lucia,
I have had the data pulled from the SDS sheets and a er a rough analysis it would seem that we should remain under the current level of registra on.

Ok great! I'll need to confirm your calculations before moving forward. Could you send me your spreadsheets and any SDSs or supporting documents you used in
your calculations?
Thanks,
Lucia

Lucia,
I have a ached the brief spreadsheet for the largest con nuous buy we make, which is a lacquer thinner that we buy in 55 gallon drums. Ashley, who
maintains the coa ngs database we have looked at the HAP amounts for just the methanol and toluene and put together the excel data a ached as well as
pulling the SDS for the thinner. It would seem from these figures that we exceed the quota for the SSE exemp on just by our thinner usage.
Please let us know if we are reading this incorrectly. It would seem based on this data that we should remain as is.
Sterling

Hi Sterling,
I've checked your calculations and they look good. You're right that the paint thinners alone exceed the SSE threshold. Sorry for recommending a permitting
direction that doesn't apply to you and thank you for all the time you put in to investigate the possibility. I'm going to continue with your periodic permit updates
instead.
To move forward with the permit updates I need to confirm your contact information. Could you provide your company mailing address, the name of the person you
would like your Approval Order addressed to, and the physical and mailing addresses, phone number and email of a billing contact (if it's someone other than you).
Apologies again for recommending a SSE. Thank you for all the time and effort you've put in.
Hope you're having a good week,
Lucia
