        TG NO. 144                                                          August 1987

        5-7. STATE AND LOCAL AIR POLLUTION REGULATIONS.
            a. Many state and local air pollution control agencies have regulations
        governing the design and operation of paint spray booths. Many states require
        permits for the installation of new spray paint booths and the modification of
        existing booths. Implementing CARC painting operations in an existing booth
        may constitute a process modification and thereby require issuance of a permit
        or revision to the existing permit. Numerous states are also in the process
        of developing an air toxics program which may impact on CARC painting
        operations due to the HDI constituent In the CARC formulations. Also certain
        types of solvents and heavy metals (i.e., lead and chromium) may also be
        regulated under specific state air toxics regulations). Specific air
        pollution requirements or permit conditions may be obtained through the
        installation environmental coordinator. This individual is usually located
        within the Directorate of Engineering and Housing.
            b. Spray painting operations are also regulated in 6any states by local
        or state air pollution control agencies. In locations designated as
        nonattainment areas for ozone, restrictions are often imposed on the amounts
        of volatile organic compounds (VOCS) that may be exhausted to the atmosphere.
        This may affect the types and amounts of thinners and solvents used during
        painting operations. Any restrictions or limitations for spray painting
        operations are typically listed in that source's air pollution operating
        permit. Coordination should be made with the installation environmental
        coordinator to verify the permit requirements.
