Operations at the facility include abrasive blasting, spray, brush, and roller coating, welding, grinding, pressure washing, hydroblasting, heavy lift barge vessel hauling and launching (dry dock). Emissions from dry abrasive blasting operations on the dry dock will be controlled by dust collectors.
