Planned Maintenance Startup and Shutdown for Surface Coating Industries May 3, 2012 Air Permits Division Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Outreach Objectives • Discuss MSS authorization approach and activities • Receive feedback regarding activities • Discuss plan forward including completion of outreach
MSS Background Mike Coldiron, P.E. Coatings/Combustion Section
MSS Background • EPA concerns • MSS activities are a part of the facility maximum capacity to emit • MSS activities must be included as part of the permitting process • MSS activities are subject to all permit requirements such as PN, BACT, and impacts analysis
MSS Background • EPA concerns were addressed through rulemaking • 30 TAC §101.222(h) effective January 6, 2006 • For surface coating sources the submittal date is January 5, 2013
Rule Requirements • Planned MSS emissions must be reported if they exceed the reportable quantities • Follow the procedures in 30 TAC §101.211 • Following procedures provides for an affirmative defense only for state rules
Rule Requirements • Affirmative defense is preserved for the duration of the review process if a timely permit action is submitted • Emissions from planned MSS activities may be subject to enforcement action
What are Planned MSS Emissions? • Planned MSS emissions include air emissions resulting from the maintenance, startup, or shutdown of equipment or facilities at a site
What are Planned MSS Emissions? • Are part of normal or routine facility operations other than production operations • Are predictable to timing • MSS activities do not have to be scheduled for a specific date or time
What are Planned MSS Emissions? • Planned MSS emissions do not include unplanned MSS, upsets, or emission events • TCEQ does not permit unplanned MSS, upsets, or emission events • Emission events are covered under 30 TAC §101.201
Activity Categories for MSS • Process MSS • General facility MSS • Included in other industry submissions • Impacts issues are difficult to deal with
Coatings Industries MSS Permitting Goals • Lessons learned • Industry processes are very different in most categories from previous groups • Industry demographics is much different since the majority of sources are small businesses • Most affected sites are minor sources
Coatings Industries MSS Permitting Goals • Efficiently review MSS from the large number of permitted sources in surface coating industries • Reduce the amount of effort for staff and regulated community • Reduce processing times
MSS Authorization Requirements • Identify planned MSS activities • Identify potential authorizations • Quantify emissions • Best available control technology is required • May include restrictions on activities • May be work practices
MSS Authorization Requirements • Impacts analysis required • Use MERA • Air dispersion modeling may be required • Public notice may be required • New air contaminants • Increased emissions > PN Triggers
Summary • Applications are due by January 5, 2013 • Timely applications will preserve the affirmative defense • BACT and an impacts analysis will be required

Coatings Industry Groupings Kate Stinchcomb Coatings/Combustion Section
Coatings Projects Spreadsheet • Spreadsheet maintained since 1998 • Tracks all initial, amendment, and renewal projects • Contains valuable information such as process types, BACT, and pollutant emission rates
Industry Types • Determined the different permitted industry types • Number of facilities in each type
Groupings • Evaluated possible maintenance activities for each industry type • Created groupings of similar industry types with similar maintenance activities • Discussed options for authorizing those activities
Summary • The TCEQ has authorized a large number of “coatings” permits covering many different industry types • The TCEQ has identified many possible MSS activities for each industry type

Common Process MSS Activities Steve Akers, P.E. Coatings/Combustion Section
Approach to Common Process MSS Activities • Identified specific facility types • Identified for each facility type - What is MSS - What is not MSS (normal process) • MSS activities may be common to different facilities • Authorization Options
Enclosed Painting • MSS • - Cleanup of overspray • - Booth filter change out • - Oxidizer MSS • - Ventilation system cleaning
Enclosed Painting (Cont.) • Not MSS - Gun cleaning - Spill cleanup
Enclosed Abrasive Blasting • MSS - Filter replacement (baghouse/ cartridge filter system)
Enclosed Abrasive Blasting(Cont.) • Not MSS - Blast media cleanup/disposal - Blast pot/hopper filling
FRP and Cultured Marble • MSS • - Storage tank degassing for • inspection and cleaning • - Filter replacement for trim/grind • booth and spray booth
FRP and Cultured Marble (Cont.) • MSS - Overspray cleanup - Ventilation system cleaning - Oxidizer MSS
FRP and Cultured Marble (Cont.) • Not MSS - Tank loading - Spill cleanup - Application equipment cleanup - Waste collection and storage
Printing • MSS - Oxidizer MSS - Filter replacement (baghouse/ cartridge filter system), usually associated w/book and magazine printing
Printing (Cont.) • Not MSS - Image or blanket cylinder cleaning - Line flushing - Parts washers - Spill cleanup
Coatings Manufacturing • MSS - Storage tank degassing for inspection and cleaning - Filter replacement (baghouse/ cartridge filter system) - Oxidizer MSS
Coatings Manufacturing (Cont.) - Fugitive component repair (valves, flanges, pumps, etc.) • Not MSS - Spill cleanup - equipment cleaning - waste collection and storage
Foam Manufacturing • MSS - Storage tank degassing for cleanup and inspection - Filter replacement (baghouse/ cartridge filter system) - Fugitive component repair
Foam Manufacturing (Cont.) • MSS - Oxidizer MSS • Not MSS - Material Handling
Authorization Options • Authorize in current permit • PBR – 30 TAC Chapter 106 - No registration in most cases - Simple (or no) recordkeeping - No BACT review or public notice - Limited (or no) impacts review
Authorization Options (Cont.) • De Minimis – 30 TAC §116.119 - No registration - Simple (or no) recordkeeping - No BACT review or public notice - Limited impacts review
Authorization Options (Cont.) • Some De Minimis authorizations are located in the rule • Remaining De Minimis authorizations are on the De Minimis list http://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/air/ newsourcereview/de_minimis.html
Summary • Facility Types - What is/is not MSS • Authorization Options - Use PBRs and/or De Minimis if possible - Keep it simple

Common General Facility MSS Activities Eddie Mack, P.E. Coatings/Combustion Section
Common General Facility MSS Activities • General facility MSS • Not process-related • Being included for consistency
Approach for General Facility MSS • Identify common activities • Approach to authorization • Permit by Rule (PBR) • De Minimis under 30 TAC §116.119
Examples of Facility MSS PBRs • Facility painting/blasting: §106.263 • Parts cleaners: §106.454 • Welding: §106.227 • Hand-held equipment: §106.265
Examples of Facility MSSDe Minimis Under §116.119 • Glove box blasting cabinets • Aerosol cans (<64 ounces/day) • Vehicle/equipment washing
