OPERATING STATUS: Operating normally at the time of inspection

PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Structural Steel Fabrication: A11 raw materials enter the facility
at the north end to be cut to length by saws or robots. The
exhaust from the robots is routed to a baghouse. After the steel is
cut to the appropriate length, it is sorted by weight and
distributed to one of six bays for fabrication. All parts are cut to
size by plasma steel cutters. Each plasma cutter is equipped with
a dedicated baghouse. After distribution to a fabrication bay, the
parts are welded to steel by a process called Flux Core Arc
Welding (FCAW). After final inspection, the steel leaves the
south end of the fabrication facility and goes to either shipping
or painting. If the steel requires a shop-applied coating, the steel
will go directly to the indoor abrasive blast building.

Abrasive Blasting Operations: Abrasive blasting is conducted to
remove rust, scale, and coatings from the fabricated steel in the
Abrasive Blasting Building. Abrasive blast media is loaded into
a pit that is located below ground level. Once the pit is full, a
thirty-foot tall bucket elevator scoops the abrasive up and brings
it to the air wash/rotary screen where it separates the fine
particles from the good abrasive. All fine particles go through
500 CFM dust collector and other abrasive goes to 300 cubic
foot storage hopper ready for re-use. The storage hopper feeds
one of four abrasive blast pots where contaminants are removed
from the steel.

2
Coating Operations: Steel is spread out evenly onto paint skids to
be prepared for painting in the paint building. This consists of
blowing off any foreign objects, power tool sanding, or masking.
All coatings are applied by airless spray nozzles. The airless
spray atomizes or breaks up fluid into small droplets without the
use of compressed air. In an airless system, fluid is pumped
under high pressure through a spray tip. All mixing of coating is
done in the paint mixing area at the south end of the paint
building. Next to this area is a separate paint storage room where
all paints are stored. After coatings are mixed, they are
transported by hand cart to a designated area where the
application process will take place. After application, all
equipment is returned to the mixing area to be thoroughly
cleaned. Paint thinner and solvents (primarily acetone and
xylene) are used to clean paint guns by flushing the lines and
spray nozzles. A solvent recycler recycles waste solvent which
consists of the original solvent plus liquid and solid materials
picked up during use of the solvent for cleaning. The solvent
recycler separates the original solvent from the waste materials
by boiling the solvent mixture to separate the solvent from the
waste materials. The reclaimed solvent is reused for cleaning and
the waste material left in the distillation tank is disposed of as
hazardous waste with a third-party hazardous waste disposal
company.

Other Operations: The source operates a maintenance shop
which includes two Safety-Kleen parts washers and an enclosed
wheelabrator. An emergency generator, located next to the
maintenance shop, provides power to the offices during power
outages.

(a)  Control P arameters/Exposure Standards:
OELs (respirable fraction) in air for dust containing crystalline silica (quartz).
Standard Exposure Limits
ACGIH TLV**
(8-Hour Time-Weighted Average)

0.025 mg/m3
NIOSH REL** (10-Hour Time-Weighted
Average, 40-hour work week)

0.05 mg/m3
MSHA/OSHA PEL*
(8-Hour Time-Weighted Average)

10 mg/m3 / (% SiO2+2)
AIOH 0.1 mg/m3
OHS 0.025 mg/m3
* Crystalline silica is normally measured as respirable dust. The OSHA/MSHA standard also presents a formula for
calculation of the PEL based on total dust: 30 mg/m3 / (% SiO2 +2). The OSHA/MSHA PEL for dust containing crystalline
silica (quartz) is based on the silica content of the respirable dust sample. The OSHA/MSHA PEL for crystalline silica as
tridymite and cristobalite is one-half the PEL for crystalline silica (quartz).
** The ACGIH and NIOSH limits are for crystalline silica (quartz), independent of the dust concentration. The ACGIH
TLV for crystalline silica as cristobalite is equal to the TLV for crystalline silica as quartz. In 2005, ACGIH withdrew the
TLV for crystalline silica as tridymite.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
(a) Control Parameters/Exposure Standards:
OELs (respirable fraction) in air for dust containing crystalline silica (quartz).
* Crystalline silica is normally measured as respirable dust. The OSHA/MSHA standard also presents a formula for calculation
of the PEL based on total dust: 30 mg/m3 / (% SiO2 +2). The OSHA/MSHA PEL for dust containing crystalline silica (quartz)
is based on the silica content of the respirable dust sample. The OSHA/MSHA PEL for crystalline silica as tridymite and
cristobalite is one-half the PEL for crystalline silica (quartz).
** The ACGIH and NIOSH limits are for crystalline silica (quartz), independent of the dust concentration. The ACGIH TLV
for crystalline silica as cristobalite is equal to the TLV for crystalline silica as quartz. In 2005, ACGIH withdrew the TLV for
crystalline silica as tridymite.

applicable use process enclosures, exhaust ventilation or dust collectors to maintain airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Operate and maintain dust collectors
per manufacture recommendations.
(c) Personal Protective Equipment:
For limited exposure use an N95 dust mask or equivalent. For prolonged exposure follow the
OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
Wear safety glasses
Wear protective clothing and gloves
Follow local, state or federal guidelines for the use of personal protection equipment. Blast
cleaning operations should use an air fed abrasive blast hood conforming to relevant standards
such as Australian Standards 1715,1716 and European Standard EN14594:2005 such as
a Nova 2000, as well as leather (or equivalent) gloves and apron when in use. Hearing
protection should also be worn when blast cleaning.
Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including procedures
to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow best practice for site
management and disposal of waste.

within 12 months, the maintenance records showing the generator was only operational from 11 am- 12 pm, and the
certificate for the fuel used in 2023. These functions are all performed by a 3rd party. We are just waiting to receive the
documents. An additional email has been sent stating the urgency for the requested documents.

I have the rest of the documents requested; I would just like to send everything together, with the checklist and directory
created, making it easier to identify all documents being sent.

Kind Regards,

Good Afternoon Jordan,
Please see the attached requested documents from your 02 15 Inspection. I apologize for the delay, we have been
waiting on documents from Energy Management, they are a third party that handles our backup generator. Energy
Management is still telling us they are having difficulty locating the service documents, as they had some employee
changes and the individual that serviced our generator is no longer with them. They are still trying to locate the documents
so I will get them sent over as soon as I receive them. Energy Management did confirm they are scheduled weekly at
11:30 am and are not allowed to service the generator if they cannot complete the weekly maintenance before 12 pm, I
will also have to send additional emails out that contain the logs for the Magnehelic Gauges. If you have any further
questions, let me know.

Kind Regards,
