The proposed permit is for a facility-wide volatile organic compound (VOC) emission limit and for the installation of three laser cutting lines each controlled by a cartridge baghouse and secondary HEPA filtration unit. This notice is published pursuant to WAC 173-400-091 and WAC 173-400-171(3)(k). The proposed order would provide Capital Industries with a federally enforceable limit formally establishing it as a minor or area source of air pollution.

The facility-wide VOC emission limit covers existing activities at the facility including two spray booths used for coating metal products and application of solvent degreasing products. Facility-wide VOC emissions will be limited to 90 ton/year under this order.

The estimated increase in emissions from laser cutting are 0.07 ton/year total particulate matter (PM), 0.33 ton/year nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions, 0.0575 lb/year metallic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and 0.107 lb/year toxic air pollutants (TAPs).
